Henley
Business School
at the University of Reading is delighted to announce the Fifth
Reading - 'UNCTAD
International Business Conference, organised in collaboration
with the United
Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD). The 2015
conference
is the second in the series that is jointly organised with
UNCTAD. Therefore,
in addition to focusing on conceptual issues, we will also be
paying close
attention to policy implications.
The
conference - which is traditionally held in April - has been
moved to June, in
memory of Alan Rugman. A plenary session, commemorating and
extending Alan¹s
work by prominent scholars will be organized on the first day,
as well as a series of parallel sessions. Speakers at the
include:
·
Julian Birkinshaw,
London Business school
·
Geoffrey Jones,
Harvard Business School
We will
hold a memorial on the
evening of the 13th, so that people may share their
reminiscences about the
life and work of Alan in an informal setting.
