AIB South Asia Conference 2022 Theme
ROLE OF INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN SOUTH ASIAN ECONOMIES
International business plays a significant role in enabling and sustaining the aspirational growth. Emerging country multinationals or EMNEs (as they are popularly known), have already made a mark for themselves in the global business environment. However, it has now become impertinent to find out their contributions to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for their economies. As SDGs, popularly known as AGENDA 2030, was set by UN in the year 2015. With COVID-19 seriously distorting the targets set by UN, can EMNEs/international businesses contribute to achieve them for their economies?
The AIB - South Asia Chapter Conference 2022 will explore such exciting challenges that need attention on issues related to SDGs in South Asian Economies. This Conference of the South Asia Chapter of Academy of International Business provides AIB members of Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal and Sri Lanka with opportunities for the exchange of ideas, for the presentation of research, for professional contacts, and for discussion of matters of mutual interest and concerns.
IIM Visakhapatnam is glad to host this Conference as a knowledge-transfer forum, experience-sharing platform and best-practice dissemination stage on building intellectual, infrastructural and institutional capacities towards realizing the economic targets.
