China and Globalization at a Turning Point
We are happy to announce the highly anticipated return of the China Goes Global™ Conference to be held in-person Italy hosted in Bologna (Italy), by CiMET (Italy’s National University Center for Applied Economic Studies).
As the premier conference on the topic, we seek contemporary contributions from various business/management disciplines, to broader social sciences and other multidisciplinary perspectives of the globalization of China.
Papers, book presentations, and panel proposals are especially encouraged in the following areas:
· Theoretical explorations of Chinese flows of people, goods, ideas and money
· Testing the limits of Western-centric theories in the context of China’s globalization
· Industrial policies and structural change in China
· Business models with “Chinese characteristics”
· Development of new Chinese-centric and indigenous theories
· The role of emerging market multinationals
· Managing and organizing Chinese companies/subsidiaries abroad
· Comparison of China with other emerging markets
· Chinese engagement in India, Asia, America, Australia, Latin America, and other regions
· Local and global impacts of Chinese foreign direct investment
· The role of government in shaping the “going out” policy and its impact on internationalization
· Chinese state capitalism and alternative economic systems’ impact on globalization
· Sustainable development and corporate social responsibility (CSR) of Chinese multinationals
· Global supply chain/logistics and global value chains with China
· Culture, trust, reputation of Chinese multinationals
· Techno-entrepreneurship, e-commerce, online development in and out of China
· Big data, privacy and digital innovation in China
· Environmental protection and law in China
· Europe and China legal and economic cooperation
· New challenges in technology, innovation and hard sciences in China
· China’s competitors: industry, innovation, and technology in Europe/US/Emerging Countries
Against the backdrop of the severe testing of the global institutional framework caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the lingering Covid-19 challenges, China’s role in globalization is undergoing fundamental changes. We invite
interested scholars and practitioners to come together and explore these changes.
The background
Since 2006, China Goes Global conferences have convened a unique set of contributions on the globalization of the Chinese business environment, economy, and society. The conference stands out in several ways. First, the conference is international,
inter-disciplinary and developmental in nature. We invite competitive papers, recently published book authors, focused panels and work-in-progress for submission. The conference provides an ideal opportunity for scholars and practitioners, as well as Ph.D.
students to share and discuss their most recent high-quality work with other experts in this research field. Best papers are also given the chance to be published in the International Journal of Emerging Markets, a Scopus-ranked journal by Emerald. Second,
we have fun. In addition to insightful ideas, the conference also includes a reception, a performance, and great people and scholars with whom you can network.
