Welcome to the 14th International Conference of the Society for Global Business & Economic Development (SGBED)
Nature
and
Scope
of
the
Conference:
The
world
is becoming
increasingly interconnected
across
all fronts
at an
unprecedented
pace; it
is deemed
that networks,
knowledge and
innovation,
and entrepreneurship
drive growth
and development.
The
rise of
emerging
markets and
growth of
global supply
chains are
attributed to
globalization and
ICT; nations
and firms continue
to form
strategic levers
using the
power of
comparative advantage;
and human
capital worldwide
is becoming
more mobile
and engaged
virtually despite
the
national
boundaries. The
developments have
also caused
dramatic structural
and organizational
changes and
disruption
of
traditional businesses,
and job
markets. Global
investments in
commodities and
indiscriminate exploitation
of
natural resources
affected the
sustainability of
ecosystems. Equal
access
to
education,
knowledge and
health are
also under
the
microscope.
The challenges
of
rising inequalities
in
wealth and
income,
economic stagnation,
unemployment,
and the
impact of
globalization have
also taken
the
center stage
of
public
discourse. These
trends bring heightened
levels of
responsibility to
business, institutions
and society.
In
view of
the strategic importance
of
these
challenges the 14th
International Business
conference invites academic and
professional perspectives
in the
form of
empirical research,
case studies and
applications, and
panel proposals on a wide range of topics.
