CONCURRENT SESSIONS (III) Corporate Governance |
Reform of corporate governance in Asia has been ongoing since the late 1990s. But given the relative newness of the concept to many Asian countries, what does "good governance" really entail? What barriers do Asian culture, ethics, and values raise to implementing the kinds of corporate governance practices that are standard in Europe and the U.S? What rules are likely to be adopted in various Asian markets?

(IV) Creating a Global Workforce |
To succeed globally, multinationals need to be able to manage human resources effectively on a worldwide scale. Various models are being phased in with differing degrees of success. Can and should you try to create a global corporate culture? How does adopting a global approach change the already complicated issues surrounding attraction, retention, and development of high-potential employees? Why do some see a truly global workforce-with senior-level positions open to candidates worldwide-as the ultimate solution?
