Dear Colleagues,
I would like to announce an AoM 2011 caucus proposal that I think will be of interest to those of you researching emerging economies. The abstract is below and the longer proposal is attached, for more details.
Abstract
Local firms in emerging economies face many challenges as they attempt to grow, different from foreign MNCs and firms in industrialized nations. However, emerging economies also offer many contextual differences, being in many different parts of the world including South America, Africa, Eastern Europe and Asia, yet we attempt to speak about them in general. This caucus will encourage discussion about the issues that local firms face in these countries with a goal to discern between which issues some countries have in common and which are especially unique. Additionally, we will identify strategies local firms are using to deal with barriers and how institutions are helping or hindering them. This caucus will also bring together researchers with interests in this area to provide a networking forum.
It would be great to hear from you if you are interested in participating in this caucus. You can let me know now by sending me an email expressing your interest including some background about your related research and I can add your name to the proposal list.
Thanks in advance for your interest!
Kind regards,
