Hosted by China Globalization Association (CGA), the 13th China Internationalization Forum was held at Rollins College, which is known as one of the most beautiful campuses in the southern United States.

Nearly 100 leading scholars, business leaders and international business experts from more than a dozen of countries witnessed the event and discussed a number of hotspot topics in political, business and academic communities, including China’s technology innovation strategy, the Belt and Road Initiative, the China-US relations and China's overseas investment. emlyon Global DBA participants were also invited to participate in this academic event and convey and share their cutting-edge findings.

As a guest speaker, Ms. Wu Chuanjuan from emlyon Global DBA 2018 intake shared her research, “Analyzing Complexity and Agility of Chinese EV Supply Chain”. Theoretically, she focused on the intersection of supply chain management, organizational behavior and new product development, that is, open collaboration. At the practical level, she studied the interplay between upstream and downstream partners in the supply chain during new product development process, representing co-creation, mutual benefit and win-win. Meanwhile, she stressed that institutional factors cannot be ignored, because government intervention, supply chain relations and trade wars all have a crucial impact on supply chain strategy. Her work revealed a better understanding on how China's electric vehicle supply chain supports the rapid development of the segment in a complex context.

emlyon Global DBA (Asia Track) has been specifically designed in response to a growing need of business leaders to challenge current business practice and devise new methods for progression in times of technological and geopolitical change, and increasing uncertainty.

By combining academically rigorous education with business practice, the program will enable participants to update their business knowledge and enhance their analytical and critical thinking capabilities through modules delivered across the globe.

The pogram also requires participants to produce a doctoral dissertation – an original piece of research focusing on solving core issues within their own industry or organization. With their career experience and their new academic learning, this dissertation will create real business impact and value.

Call for Papers

14 th China Goes Global Conference

August 05 – August 07, 2020 – Vancouver, Canada

Simon Fraser University

CfP (2020 call for papers)

The 14th Annual China Goes Global conference will be held at beautiful Vancouver, Simon Fraser University, Beedie School of Business, in Vancouver, Canada.

See video: https://tourismvancouver.box.com/s/447b4ojsncwqc4mbkalw1ez1r92ct01q

We encourage paper writers, panel presenters, book authors, professionals, representative of firms and PhD students studying China’s globalization to submit their work on our website (http://www.chinagoesglobal.org/conference/paper-submission).

The rise of China is nothing less than spectacular, lifting millions of people out of poverty, modernizing the economy, and building a world class infrastructure. At the same time, China has built a network of economic and political links via the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and has developed plans to become a world leader in key technological areas, dubbed the Made in China 2025. At the same time, the emergence of China as an economic power has created uncertainties regarding global governance while its state-led development model has challenged orthodox thinking regarding the role of the state.

We seek to understand the globalization of China’s political economy through research from a multi-disciplinary (business, economics, politics, etc.), multi-method (qualitative/quantitative) and multi-level analyses (people, firms, industries, regions, global). Best papers from past conferences have been published as Special Issues and Edited Books in the past.

See, for example: China’s Belt and Road Initiative (Palgrave, 2018) https://www.palgrave.com/gp/book/9783319754345

Please submit your paper through our online submission system no later than March 2020. Papers should follow the author style and referencing guide provided on the conference website.
