Dear colleagues,
We would like to invite all of you interested in emerging markets to join us at the PDW below. This highly interactive workshop brings together a group of experts on corporate strategy, entrepreneurship and institutions in emerging markets who will discuss about the practical aspects of designing research programs set in different regions. This group of experts has done extensive research in major emerging markets, such as China, India and Brazil.
Pre-registration for this workshop is not required.
We look forward to seeing you in Montreal!
All the best,
Catherine and Santiago

Abstract:
Understanding how firms develop, evolve, and interact in emerging market settings is of central importance to the fields of strategy and international management. The growing importance of countries such as China and India in the global economy, and the increasing interdependence of cross-national economic transactions, generate an urgent need for academic insight into the causes and effects of firms' activities in emerging markets. As we seek to deepen our understanding of corporate strategy in emerging markets by confronting new research questions in new contexts, we face a range of challenges. Since a collective hope of the panel members is that this type of research will to continue to grow in importance and prominence, we recognize an opportunity for sharing knowledge about the practical aspects of designing research programs set in emerging markets. The objective of the PDW is to advance the field by enabling workshop participants to pool collective insights, helping to avoid the barriers faced and mistakes made by fellow travelers. That is, we hope to help avoid potential perils and speed realizing promise in this research field.
