There are three broad themes that form the pillars for the central theme of the 2017 ANZIBA conference:
Internationalisation, International Entrepreneurship and the Emerging Markets.
Some aspects that are especially worthwhile, include:
·
How rapid internationalization in emerging markets have brought about broader social and/or political consequences. eg, political activism, attitudes toward women in the workplace,
attitudes towards environment, etc.
·
Similarly, such transformation has influenced the economic sphere and nurtured a new breed of young (bold) entrepreneurs. What do we know about this new entrepreneurial breed?
·
What are the consequences of the rising middle class in emerging markets? Has it served as the driver for the new entrepreneurial breed? What about the tension between the traditional
and the 'new' middle class?
·
What impact has the recent slowdown in emerging markets had on - internationalization of emerging markets firms; new start-ups, and the growth of the middle class?
·
Revisiting business linkages between emerging markets and their major trading partners in the western economies - for example, China and Australia.
·
Revisiting ethnic entrepreneurship, again in the same context.
Below are a few additional questions that you might consider:
·
What governance structures are most effective in helping an entrepreneur manage the risks of an asymmetric relationship when partnering with an MNC?
·
Using a comparative approach that compares data across nations, what cultural and institutional influences have the greatest impact on entrepreneurial internationalization?
·
At what point do industry clusters become so concentrated that over competition and resource scarcity impede new entrepreneurial activity and success?
·
How do networks within an industry cluster location influence the formation of alliances that facilitate internationalization?
·
What network ties have the greatest impact for identifying international opportunities?
