Please join us for the special panel session on “Global Knowledge Sourcing in the Age of De-Globalization” from 14:30 PM − 15:45 PM on Saturday, July 8, 2023. We have invited four of the leading minds in our field to participate in a paradigm-defining conversation on global knowledge sourcing in the new phase of globalization. 

 

This panel of international business scholars will discuss the potential impact of deglobalization pressures on global knowledge sourcing. The panel will feature experts from diverse cultural and professional backgrounds, who will provide various perspectives on the topic. The scholars will discuss whether deglobalization trends, such as rising protectionism and nationalism, will lead to a decrease in global knowledge exchange, or if they will actually stimulate the creation of new forms of collaboration and knowledge sharing. 

 

Some of the key controversies and questions that the panel may address include:  

• What are the implications of deglobalization for the competitiveness and innovation of firms? How can companies navigate these challenges and continue to access global knowledge and expertise? 
• How are technology and digitalization changing the landscape of global knowledge sourcing, and how might these trends be impacted by geopolitical tensions? 
• How have geopolitical tensions impacted global knowledge sourcing in the past, and what lessons can be learned from these experiences? 
• What are the potential consequences of deglobalization for economic development in different regions of the world?  

 

The panel will provide a timely and thought-provoking discussion on a topic that has significant implications for businesses, policymakers, and society at large.
