Conference Theme
Business Competencies and Public Management in a Changing Global Environment
The global collective effort has prevented the worst thing from occurring during the recent financial crisis, now there is concern for the post-crisis days. The challenge now is to sustain the economies around the world in the backdrop of reduced consumption and higher savings rate. The new reality is -- emerging economies will take a greater share of the global market in the post-crisis era; the developed world may not recover quickly, and their growth may remain low or non-existent for some years to come. However, the potential for productivity enhancement and catch-up remains in place provided the right decisions are made in both the private and the public sectors. This guarded optimism will fade in thin air unless there is collective effort to create a favorable environment for structural changes in global trade rules, domestic public policy and business strategies, and business practices.
The third Global Business & Management Forum (GBMF) International conference in scenic Kazakhstan is about creating that environment in domestic as well as in the global marketplace. The challenge now is to rejuvenate our economies by focusing on economic and public affairs planning, productivity improvement, innovative marketing, and financial management in the manufacturing and service sectors and in the public sector. Significant keynote speakers are being invited. Abstracts and/or research papers are being solicited on all business and public affairs related topics that directly or indirectly address these global concerns. Papers presented at the conference will be considered for publication in the Global Business and Management Journal (GBMJ) after meeting the requirements of a double blind review process.
