Don't Miss these Events Even if you are Vaguely Interested in South Asia
If you are conducting research or are interested in conducting research in
South Asia- or just want to explore the opportunity of collaborating with
researchers and practitioners focused on South Asia, please attend all or
some of the following events.
South Asia is home to more than 1/5th of the world's population, and
considered one of the fastest growing economies in the world. According to
the World Bank, South Asia comprises of Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan,
India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Such a diverse mix of
countries presents a plethora of cutting-edge business and management
issues, including rise of third-world multinationals and frugal innovation
as well as a hotbed of several challenges that the region faces in terms
of population growth, corruption and cronyism.
We are highlighting the prominence of the South Asian region by hosting
the following events:
1. Meet the Editor of the South Asian Journal of Global Business Research
(SAJGBR)
SAJGBR is the only journal dedicated to advancing theoretical and
empirical knowledge of business and management issues facing multinational
and local organizations within South Asia. Here you will meet the Editor-
in-Chief face to face and get to ask her questions about publishing for
SAJGBR. She will also talk about the Editorial Objectives, Editorial
Criteria, Scope of the Journal and discuss why you should publish in
SAJGBR.
SAJGBR is published by Emerald Group Publishing Limited.
Saturday, Aug 13, 2011: 2pm-4pm at the San Antonio Convention Center, Room
206A
2. Official Launch of the South Asian Academy of Management (SAAM) and
Celebration of the Partnership between SAJGBR and SAAM at a breakfast
networking event
South Asian Academy of Management is a professional association for
scholars dedicated to creating and disseminating knowledge about
management and organizations in South Asia. This includes information

hemispheres. Please visit
http://southasianaom.org for more information.
Tues, Aug 16, 2011: 7am, San Antonio Convention Center, 210B
3. East Meets West Symposium- A South Asian Perspective on Management and
Theories
In this Symposium, organizers and panelists take the lead from Cappelli et
al's (2010) argument that American corporations need to look outside the
U.S., in particular India, in order to incorporate new ways of thinking
into their management practices and to guarantee success in today's
intensely competitive environment, Hence, through this Symposium they
encourage exploration of fresh and indigenous ideas and perspectives on
managing organizations in South Asia. The emphasis is on critically
examining the relevance of the mainstream (Western) management theories
and practices in the South Asian cultural and institutional context, and
reviewing the existing practices there with the objective of preparing an
early groundwork for the formulation and propagation of new theories,
concepts, and models with greater explanatory power than the existing
management theories. They argue that this is relevant for addressing the
complex management problems encountered by organizations in the U.S.,
South Asia and elsewhere; and critical for developing innovative
approaches to managing organizations globally (Christie, 2010).
Papers included in this Symposium offer fresh, original and insightful
perspectives in the management of organizations within contemporary South
Asia.

Shehla Riza Arifeen, Lahore School of Economics, Pakistan
Yasser Ahmad Bhatti, University of Oxford, UK
Naresh Khatri, University of Missouri, USA
