Why Should you come?

Last year academics from around the world gathered
in Osaka to discuss how the recent global
economic and financial turmoil gave rise to
significant pessimism together with adverse
consequences for both businesses and, more
broadly, national economies. ABMC 2010 provided
room for reflection and looked at the
possibilities for positive change that accompany
periods of great trauma.

Each challenge gives rise to opportunity and we
continue the conversation begun at the inaugural
ABMC by inviting discussion, debate and argument
as well as serious reflection. Has there been a
shift in the balance of economic and political
power from the west to the east? Too much
financial regulation or not enough? What lessons
have governments, regulators, and the business
world learned? Are we back to business as usual or
will some things never be the same again?
As with last year, the Conference sessions will be
wide-ranging, covering both policy and research.
ABMC 2011 will bring together experts and leaders
from the academic and business world to answer
these questions and more; to both reflect on the
recent past, and look forward, to exchange ideas,
and share research findings in the exciting
environment of Osaka, Japan. We invite you to join us!


The deadline for abstracts/proposals is 01 August
2011.
