Dear IMD Colleagues,
You are cordially invited to attend an exciting UI-HKU Global Business Forum, "Strategic Positioning in a New World
Economic Order: Asia-Pacific and Global Competitiveness," that will be held at the Hong Kong Convention Center in Hong Kong SAR on Feb. 12, 2009.
The Forum, co-hosted by the University of Illinois (UI) and the University of Hong Kong (HKU), will present an international group of expert speakers from academia,
industry, and government. We are planning for about 200 attendees, including many senior executives and government officials from Hong Kong, China, and the region. Please see the attached announcement for additional information on speakers and registration.
On the following day (Feb 13), we will have a follow-up research workshop for (mostly) the academics to examine implications of the emerging new world economic order for future research and theory in international business and management. If you are interested in attending, please
pre-register with Terri Chan (email:
terrichan@business.hku.hk) before Feb. 8, 2009. Admission is free for the research workshop.
We look forward to seeing many of you at both events.
Thanks and regards,
Joe
