Date: Nov. 7-9, 2008

International Conference of Global Business and Management Forum
(GBMF), USA will be held at Pearl School of Business (PSB),

Conference
Theme
Emerging Paradigms of Global
Entrepreneurship and Management: Issues and Challenges.
We can witness
marked shift in businesses and their paradigms and models in the
21st century. Changes in markets, players, environment and
processes have necessarily accentuated this shift. Organizations
and entrepreneurial characteristics have changed from local to a
global outlook. Government roles have changed from regulatory to
facilitating the businesses. Western markets have lost their
dominance and new markets have emerged with potentially great
strength. Products and services are conceptualized for global
markets rather than just for local. Growing from the bottom of
the pyramid has received prominence in businesses. People and
talent acquisition in the business processes are no longer
country specific. Legal compliances, governance have undergone a
major change. Climate change has necessitated new business
models for sustainability. Conventional business risks now have
the added element of terrorism. Techniques, processes and
strategies demand a quantum change to face the challenges of
these paradigm shifts. We need a different breed of
entrepreneurs and managers to steer and lead organizations in
the changed scenario. They need to have a global outlook with a
sense of social responsibility, be highly creative and
innovative, and being able to take risks and manage complexity
and ambiguity.
The conference
aims to discuss and deliberate these emerging contexts in the
overriding reality of sustaining growth and expectations of
countries, organizations and people. Papers other than the above
theme on broad, general areas of business, management and
economics are also welcome.
Papers presented
at the conference will be considered for publication in a
special issue of the Global Business and Management Journal (GBMJ)
(Vol.
1, No. 1).
Selected papers will be considered for publication after a
double blind review process. The (GBMJ) is an international
refereed journal.
