Frontier Research on Emerging Markets and International Strategy
Guangzhou, December 19, 2015
CALL FOR PAPERS OR ABSTRACTS
The Sun Yat-Sen Business School is pleased to announce its 2015 annual
international symposium on frontier theories in management in Guangzhou, China
on December 19, 2015. This year’s theme focuses on emerging markets and
international strategy, intending to provide a platform to bring together
scholars, doctoral students in the fields of international business,
cross-cultural management, global entrepreneurship and strategic management from
China and beyond. English is the functional language of the symposium.
This conference seeks to create a scholarly forum for the study of international
business issues relating to emerging markets that involve both the
internationalization of EMEs and foreign MNEs competing in these markets. These
issues are diverse, such as unique strategies and behaviors of emerging market
MNEs, winning strategies by Western MNEs operating in foreign emerging markets,
global co-opetition between Western MNEs and EMEs, competitive strengths and
weaknesses of EMEs in international competition, business model innovation by
emerging market MNEs, and adaptation of EMEs to the new global normal such as
global connectivity and accelerated flows of trade, investment, finance, people
and data, to name a few. We also encourage submissions that tackle the
commonality and differences among emerging markets (e.g., common and disparate
traits in institutional environment, varying motives and strategies in
international expansion by EMEs from different emerging economies).
This conference is intended to attract papers or abstracts/proposals that will
lead the discourse on some fresh or new perspectives on emerging market-related
IB issues in general and on global strategy issues in particular. The conference
should stretch our understanding of some new perspectives across multiple
domains—international business, strategic management, entrepreneurship,
organizational behavior, cross-cultural management, business ethics and
corporate social responsibility, human resources, and the like—and at multiple
levels of analysis, such as country, industry, organization, and group. To this
end, we invite papers or abstracts/proposals (2-3 pages) relating to the
conference theme. Only original, unpublished work is sought.
The conference is featured with several world-renowned keynote speakers who are
the authority in emerging market-related global strategy and international
management. It will also recognize 2-3 best paper awards based on the quality of
the paper submissions.
Please submit your papers or abstract/proposal via
IBconference@126.com.
