Event Description:

The world of international business used to be dominated by Western multinational firms. Today, it is firms from emerging countries that comprise almost 27% of globalized firms. Thus, the times they are a-changing! At a national level, the shifts in economic and political power are being reflected in the conversations and negotiations at the multilateral organizations such as the World Bank, the World Trade Organization, the International Monetary Fund and others. What has led to these changes in the global competitive landscape and what are their implications for international business, policy makers and emerging markets.
