    Dear colleagues,

     

    Haven't decided what to do on Sunday afternoon, please join:

    You are kindly invited to join our interactive and reflective, international session no. 646  (after lunch):

     

    on  Sunday 6th AUG 2017, 12:45PM - 3:15PM  in the HYATT Regency, Atlanta: DUNWOODY room.

     

    in the All Academy Theme Program

    Globalization at the Interface: Brexit, Trump, Le Pen, TPP, TTIP, and the Environment

     

    This symposium seeks to challenge the assumption common in the vernacular of politicians and disenfranchised voters, that globalization has winners and losers. Globalization, long heralded as a positive economic force with benefits far outweighing the disadvantages, has experienced a backlash. This All-Academy symposium aims to bring practicing managers and academic experts on the topic of global economic, political, and social trends to make sense of and attempt to predict the characteristics of Globalization 3.0. A guiding lens for the discussion will center on the mixed-motives model of decision making. Applied here, we will consider what it means to be a winner or loser in Globalization 3.0. Have voters in the UK and USA taken a purely self-interested stance in their decision, ignoring the collective good that could have benefited them? Is it possible to see the distal good of globalization despite the proximal ill?

    This PDW suggests a mix of short provocative key-note speeches, scholarly contributions and debate from renowned scholars and experienced practitioners representing the panel member as well as interaction and discussion with all participants in a collegial round table setting with parallel discussion and plenary sessions. The learning experience shall particularly stem from joint reflection and discussion on the concept of Globalization 3.0 and possible interfaces in favor and against. 

     

    Key Words: Globalization, Migration, Free Trade

     

     

     

    Distinguished Panel member speakers:

                Farok Contractor, Rutgers Business School, USA

                Ian Bolin, Consultant at Egon Zehnder, USA

                Bill Gillis, Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, GA, USA               

                Lichia Yiu, Centre for Socio-Eco-Nomic Development, Geneva, Switzerland

                Jacob Park, Green Mountain College, USA.                    

     

    We are looking forward to an exciting session bridging research & practice.
