We would like to invite you to a special presentation of the IMD Booz & Co Eminent Scholar in International Award at this year's AOM conference in San Antonio.
This year's award winner is Jagdish Bhagwati from Columbia University.
Professor Bhagwati has published more than three hundred articles and has authored or edited over fifty volumes; he also writes frequently for the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and the Financial Times, as well as reviews for the New Republic and the Times Literary Supplement. Professor Bhagwati is described as the most creative international trade theorist of his generation and is a leader in the fight for freer trade. His most recent book Termites in the Trading System (Oxford University Press, 2008) discusses the deleterious effects of preferential trading agreements. His previous book In Defense of Globalization (Oxford University Press, 2004) attracted worldwide acclaim. Five volumes of his scientific writings and two of his public policy essays have been published by MIT press. He has been uniquely celebrated with six festschrifts in his honor. He has also received several prizes and honorary degrees (including from the London School of Economics and the Free University in Berlin), among them the Freedom Prize (Switzerland), the Bernhard Harms Prize (Germany) and the Thomas Schelling Award (Kennedy School, Harvard). His honors also include the highest civilian awards from the Governments of India (Padma Vibhushan) and Japan (Order of the Rising Sun, Gold and Silver Star).
Professor Bhagwati will be speaking on "Multinational Corporations and Development: Friends or Foes? with commentaries by Tarun Khanna (HBS) and Ted London (Michigan).
