The twenty first century has been dubbed the Chinese century. As China becomes a dominant world economic actor, its enterprises-state-run or otherwise- increasingly look to distant shores in the Western Hemisphere, the European continent as well as the Crescent of Crisis.  Its state-owned enterprises and nascent corporate forms are emerging onto the world stage.  The academic literature has begun to explore this new internationalization phenomenon.  Its size, corporate manifestations, impacts on Chinese growth and the world economy and prospects are still not well understood.!   The objectives of this international research conference are:

• Disseminate knowledge on the emergence of globalizing Chinese firms
• Assess the impact of Chinese business on global business and environments
• Facilitate an understanding of the Chinese corporate presence overseas
• Assess Chinese firms, effectiveness, best practices, successes and failures
• Address the issues relating to corporate sustainable development and outsourcing *Consider the role of human capital and institutions in Chinese MNE
• Bring together a community of interdisciplinary China research scholars

Papers ranging from the macro-environmental perspective to the individual case study focusing on the globalization of Chinese firms are sought. Selected papers will be published in an edited volume. Contact:
