GLOBAL BUSINESS AND MANAGEMENT EDUCATION INNOVATION IN EMERGING AND DEVELOPING COUNTRIES:  SECOND RESEARCH COLLOQUIUM

TO BE HELD AT TECHNOLOGY SQUARE, MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE CENTER, 800 WEST PEACHTREE STREET N.E, ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30308

GEORGIA TECH ATLANTA CAMPUS IN DOWNTOWN ATLANTA

A global race to develop world-class universities is under way in most emerging countries. The dominant management  higher education models (but also higher education at large)  emanating from Europe and North America are in a phase of adaptation as they compete for global intellectual capital, essential to achieve "knowledge economy" status and attract and retain foreign direct investment. New and more established emerging market economies account for eighty percent of the world's population, some 75% of its trade growth in the foreseeable future, following U.S. Department of Commerce data. These markets are located in North, South, and Central Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, the African continent, the Russian Federation and new member states of the European Union.

Global business education represents both a challenge and an opportunity for higher education actors to respond to the international and local talent pool requirements of emerging and developing economies.. Often in catch-up mode with decision makers heretofore trained overseas, the potential for domestically-trained leaders in Emerging Markets and local innovation is palpable.. Fast changing demographics and market dynamics more than justify a scholarly review and analysis of a policy area identified as critical by scholars, public policy makers, and business executives. This conference builds on the established scholarship of the organizing institutions, and will result in a published volume of high quality submissions. Previous conferences on the topic have led to the following edited volumes:
