    Call for papers

    The theme of GSEM 2022 is "Geopolitics, Emerging Markets, and Global Strategies." The global world order – a system of rules, norms, and practices driving business activities – has been under pressure as exemplified by the growing rivalry between China and the United States, a rise in protectionism and investment restrictions, and the enhanced nationalistic sentiments triggered by COVID-19. Multinational enterprises (MNEs) have been challenged to navigate in an uncertain world characterized by increased political, economic, environmental, and health risks. This year's conference seeks to not only understand the impact that these changes have on companies but also outline the strategies that companies pursue to navigate this environment.

    Format

    This year's conference will be hybrid and feature in-person and online components. For those participants that can travel to the conference, we will look forward to meeting you at the Segal Graduate School of Business in Vancouver, Canada. For the participants unable to travel, we will broadcast the conference online. Paper Development Sessions will all be held virtually. We will continue monitoring the COVID-19 trajectory and update our plans accordingly. 

    Submission

    We welcome you to submit papers or proposals in the following formats:

    OR

    In particular, we encourage the submission of work by scholars residing in emerging markets. At least one author for each accepted paper/proposal must register to attend the conference.

    Please submit your papers or proposals through the conference webpage.
