Conference Overview
The world economy in the 21st century is showing a stronger and
irreversible trend of globalization. China has found its economy playing
an increasingly important role in the world. Chinese enterprises are
becoming more integrated into the world economic system, improving the
world economic structure and upgrading the quality of global economic
growth. They are also faced up with the issue of formulating and
implementing strategies of internationalization and active participation
in the process of globalization, which is worthy of special attention
from the academia. As part of the research endeavors of the academics,
the Institute of Asia Pacific Studies of Grant MacEwan University and
Shanghai Association of International Trade, in association with the
journals of International Business Research published by Shanghai
Institute of Foreign Trade and Asia Pacific and Globalization Review
