ACBPP 2015 - The Asian Conference on Business and Public Policy

The International Academic Forum (IAFOR) is excited to announce the Sixth Asian Conference on Business and Public Policy 2015. We invite you to join us in the vibrant city of Kobe, Japan, from November 5-7, to experience Japan and explore the conference theme "Power" in an international, intercultural and interdisciplinary setting. On behalf of IAFOR and the conference chairs, we hope to see you this year in Kobe, Japan. Professor Stuart D.B. Picken Chairman of the IAFOR IAB Professor Jerry Platt ACBPP2015 International Director of Program Submit an abstract: http://iafor.org/cfp Enquiries: acbpp@iafor.org Web address: http://iafor.org/iafor/conferences/acbpp2015/ ACBPP2015 Conference Theme: "Power" Power as a commodity has challenged the minds of social scientists and philosophers while its exercise has always fascinated historians. From classical thinkers' works such as Aristotle's Politka or Machiavelli's Il Principe through modern figures who manipulate power in the media, like Silvio Berlusconi or Rupert Murdoch, to the vast networks that support major heads of state, power has been a necessity to some or like an aphrodisiac to others. The dynamics of power and its associations with wealth and status now shape the contemporary world more visibly than ever. It is a research challenge to all fields of the social sciences to offer some explanation of its magnetism and its mechanisms. The term "power," among its many other uses, can be applied to identify one of the most important mechanisms employed in the corporate world. It can refer to anything from the exercise of authority in an office context to the manipulation of complex negotiations leading to a large-scale merger or acquisition. The psychological use of power and the psychological structure power plays of any scale share numerous common characteristics. They entail persuasion, compromise, positional movement, veiled threats, or the obverse side of blackmail, namely "white-mail," where the moral stakes are raised to the point at which the opposition risks loss of reputation by resisting cooperating. As a conference theme, power in its many aspects is a hub concept that researchers, analysts, and practitioners alike can reflect on and speak about both in the abstract and from experience. Power and its perception can therefore be an invaluable concept in the exploration of the globalization of both business and politics, and we expect this theme to excite a number of stimulating research paths, and look forward to their outcomes as we gather in Kobe in 2015. Call For Papers - Please submit your abstract through the online submission system: http://iafor.org/cfp This conference invites and encourages active participation of academics, policy-makers and business professionals. Functional areas of management, marketing, accounting, finance, logistics, operations all can make significant contributions to the conference theme and related concerns.

Diaspora Business / The Diaspora and Business Project

Diaspora Business The Diaspora and Business Project Wednesday 15th July - Friday 17th July 2015 Mansfield College, Oxford, United Kingdom Call for Presentations: Diasporas' role in world economy is increasingly becoming vital as the number of people living and working away from their places of birth is on the rise. Diasporas use their networks in both the home and host countries and mostly become visible, and sometimes invisible, as they influence living conditions in a world of globalised plural cultures. The economic, political, cultural, social, historical, literary works, the media, amongst others, often influence livable spaces and places. Some of the ways Diasporas play an influencing role are in diverse areas such as health, wellbeing, livelihoods in home and host countries, the emotional and psychological aspects of individuals and groups in society through business activities, international investments, conducting international business, production and marketing. These Diaspora businesses also influence the viability of numerous new developments, ventures, and act as bridge-builders in many aspects of human activity, including sponsorship of concerts and sports events, through their economic and financial contributions. The complexities involved in understanding Diaspora Businesses requires an international, interdisciplinary approach as the topic needs to reflect on numerous perspectives, such as international business, economy, sociology, public administration, history, ethnology, sports, the arts, linguistics, developmental aid, just to name a few, for creating much needed understanding of this ever growing phenomenon and its dynamism. In the contemporary globalizing world it is essential to understand many aspects of Diaspora businesses inclduing: - Concept, importance and the inherent dilemmas posed by the activities of Diaspora Businesses, - The socio-cultural mechanisms underpinning these activities, - The different types of Diaspora entrepreneurship, - The organisational structures of Diaspora businesses, - The numerous influences and contributions to changes in societies including the political machineries of all echelons of government, and - Subsequent challenges for managing diversity of businesses and the government policies related to the existence of formal and informal Diaspora businesses.
