Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite you to attend the SMS Conference Extension on State Capitalism that will be taking place at Loughborough University, London on September 21, 2018 right before the Strategic Management Society annual conference (Paris, September 22-25). This Extension is sponsored by the Strategic Management Society (SMS) and the Society for the Advancement of Management Studies (SAMS). Travel bursaries and registration fee waivers would be available for PhD students.
The Extension will feature keynote speakers, paper presentations, and a panel. We will discuss various aspects of state capitalism and how new forms of state capitalism create challenges for practitioners and research opportunities for scholars. Confirmed panelists include:
• Mike Wright (Imperial College, UK)
• Geoff Wood (University of Essex, UK)
• Alvaro Cuervo-Cazurra (Northeastern University, US)
• Aldo Musacchio (Brandeis University, US)
• Pei Sun (Fudan University, China)
This Extension will also include a paper development workshop that can be especially useful for scholars interested in submitting their manuscripts to the Special Issue of Journal of World Business on "State Capitalism in International Context" If you would like to participate in this paper development workshop, please contact the Extension organizers (Anna Grosman a.grosman@lboro.ac.uk, Ilya Okhmatovskiy ilya.okhmatovskiy@novasbe.pt, or Mike Wright mike.wright@imperial.ac.uk) no later than June 30, 2018 for further instructions.
