|
Westminster International University in Tashkent invites all interested scholars and business leaders to submit paper proposals for a one day conference on the issues of competition and competitiveness and the implications for business. The selected theme is deliberately broad so as to include a variety of perspectives focusing both at the micro level of the firm and the macro level of the national economy.
Papers can relate to any of the following themes:
Management and competitiveness – strategies and successes
Legal perspectives on improving competitiveness and competition
Economics perspectives on increasing competitiveness at the micro level and competition at the macro level
Role of information technology in increasing competitiveness – e-business and e-commerce
Education’s contribution to competitiveness and the prospects for competition in the education sector.
Paper proposals can be submitted in English, Uzbek or Russian and after an opening plenary session in English most of the conference sessions will consist of small single language panels focusing on a particular aspect of the conference theme. Outstanding paper proposals from residents of regions of Uzbekistan other than Tashkent are eligible for a scholarship to cover travel and accommodation. International participants are also very welcome, though the conference organizers cannot cover any of their costs.
The deadline for paper proposals is 15th April 2005.
