Call for Papers: AIB-LAT Annual Conference 2010

Outside-In & Inside-Out: MNCs and Latin America

http://meetings.aib.msu.edu/lat/2010/

Some of the questions that we will explore at the upcoming AIB-LAT 2010 Conference are:

• What are the dilemmas facing MNCs in Latin America? What are the region’s real long-term opportunities and how can companies adjust their objectives and practices to these?
• What are the differences and specific strategy needs for MNC’s operating in Latin America and for Multilatinas?
• What are the causes of disinvestment in the region and how can this be avoided?

We cordially invite you to share your experience in this field of research, by submitting empirical and conceptual papers or symposium presentations explicitly related to these topics. The official language of the conference will be English and track themes will be based on submissions.
