You are invited to attend a PDW session on "Globalizing Innovation with National
Players: Identifying New Opportunities for Research and Practice", on Saturday,
August 9th from 9 am to 11:30 pm in Room 202A of the Anaheim Convention Center.
We focus on identifying frontier theoretical and empirical approaches to help us
understand the implications of globaling innovation for (1) knowledge production
and economic development, and (2) firm strategy and organization.
The panel consists of:

industry, public and private spillovers, location and strategy and national
innovative capacity.

the standing committees of the 24 –member Board of Executive Directors of the
World Bank in Washington D.C.

Evolution and Market Creation deals with the globalization of Indian firms.
Following brief presentations by each of the panelists (5-7 minutes), we will
have round table discussions on the topics above and debrief presentations by
each table with the objective of developing a research agenda around the top
priorities for future work. You are encouraged to discuss and submit
themes/issues and work-in-process related to these topics in preparation for the
workshop - these should be emailed to the address supplied below. We plan to
create a virtual community to continue the discussion and further the research
agenda developed here through future publications, workshops and conferences.
Pre-registration is desirable, but is not a requirement.
