| AIB 2006 Annual Meeting
Beijing, China
June 23 - 26, 2006 | From the Silk Road to Global Networks:
Harnessing the Power of People in International Business
Program Chair: Mary Ann Von Glinow, Florida International University (aib2006@fiu.edu) Submission Deadline: January 17, 2006 Theme: "From the Silk Road to Global Networks: Harnessing the Power of People in International Business" From its genesis in ancient times, through its pinnacle during the Tang dynasty, until its slow demise seven hundred years ago, the Silk Road has played a unique role in foreign trade, religion, culture and political relations that stretches beyond China itself. Its mark is seen on civilizations on all sides of the Asian continent. Travel was then limited to camels and horses. Today's world with the latest developments in global networks, where the Internet connects even the most remote locales, coupled with changes in political and economic systems, makes the Silk Road a global phenomenon. The commonality across the Silk Road and Global Networks is not trade per se, but people. People are and always have been the spark, that when ignited, make things happen.
