CALL FOR PAPERS AND REVIEWERS – (ANZIBA) CONFERENCE 11-13 FEBRUARY 2019

ANZIBA 2019

The goal of this year’s conference is to discuss how the dynamics and uncertainty of the institutional environment may change international business and how multinational enterprises (MNEs) might respond to such challenges in different institutional contexts.

The rules of the game are changing, and the future seems uncertain for firms that have operated successfully for decades. How might they best prepare for this uncertain world?

How should they plan, craft and implement their strategies when the competitive landscape is the global market is changing under the uncertainty of the macro institutional conditions?

How MNEs from emerging economies hold up on step stones and grow, and how MNEs in emerging markets respond to the institutions are under constant changes and how they revitalize their strategies in order to continue to succeed?

We welcome papers addressing these broad topics and share their findings relate to the impacts and implications of the dynamic and uncertainty of the eve-changing global and local institutions for international business.
