Call for Papers | 18th China Goes Global Conference

Date:2024-03-01


We are happy to announce the highly anticipated return of the China Goes Global™ Conference to be held in Paris (France), and in-person hosted by emlyon business school.


The background

Since 2006, China Goes Global conferences have convened a unique set of contributions on the globalization of the Chinese business environment, economy, and society. The conference stands out in several ways.

First, the conference is international, inter-disciplinary and developmental in nature. We invite competitive papers, recently published book authors, focused panels and work-in-progress for submission. The conference provides an ideal opportunity for scholars and practitioners, as well as Ph.D. students to share and discuss their most recent high-quality work with other experts in this research field. Best papers are also given the chance to be published in the International Journal of Emerging Markets, a Scopus-ranked journal by Emerald.  

Second, we have fun. In addition to insightful ideas, the conference also includes a reception, a performance, and great people and scholars with whom you can network. For the review of previous conferences, including a photo gallery, please see: http://www.chinagoesglobal.org/past-conferences/photos-from-past-conferences/

Finally, the conference is always accented with world re-known keynoters from the academic and business sectors.  For a list of previous keynoters, please see: http://www.chinagoesglobal.org/past-conferences/previous-key-noters/
