Abstract / Description

Having listened to distinguished luminaries such as Prof Ishwar Dayal there is hardly very much I can add or contribute to the discourse initiated this morning. But as a student of economics I know that I should stick to my comparative advantage. What I therefore propose to do this afternoon is to spell out what I consider are the main Drivers of Globalization . I would then argue that unless we understand those Drivers of Globalization we cannot have a picture of what the firms or business--- individually and collectively ---are going to look like in the future. Having done that , we delve into the realm of the changes in the the state of the firm which will emerge in the light of this globalization. We should then discuss as to what will be the challenges facing the management of firms in this globalized economy. Once we have grappled with these configurations we should be in a better position to sketch out the contours of management Education required in the future globalized world.
