Workshop and Conference Announcement
Maastricht, the Netherlands
The Changing Face of Globalization: Its Impact on Educating Future Leaders
June 16-18, 2004
<http://www.edineb.net/>
Venue: van der Valk Hotel, Maastricht
The 11th EDiNEB conference is open to a discussion of broad and innovative
perspectives on cultural, economic, social, ethical, and technological
forces that affect corporate leaders and educators in their efforts to
prepare competent future leaders of the 21st century. The conference theme
has been established to clearly reflect recent changes in the global
economy, multicultural workforce, ethical dilemmas of corporate governance,
and global education practices. Professional educators and leaders of
educational programs need to appreciate and understand the impact of
globalization and recent changes in the global economy on teaching practices
and on learning platforms. As the world in which we live takes on increasing
elements of transformation, it is vital to help prepare students for ways to
adapt and learn from such dynamic changes.
The upcoming EDiNEB conference will bring exceptional learning value to
corporate leaders who continually seek new ways to improve performance of
their organizations and function more effectively on the global stage. The
11th EDiNEB conference will provide scholars, practitioners, and corporate
leaders an opportunity to share knowledge and experiences with each other in
an informal, convenient, and collaborative way, and to define new directions
for the future of business and learning.
We expect research and best practice presentations to focus on current
issues and challenges that academic and corporate educators face in their
everyday effort to prepare a highly competent workforce. The presentation
and workshop sessions will be targeting, but not limited to, the following
tracks:
* Dealing with multiculturalism
* Global ethics
* Innovative education practices
* Integration of culture and education
* Collaborative learning methods
* Designing learning content
* New architectures for learning platforms
* Making economics relevant in business education
* Interdisciplinary approaches to learning
* Accreditation and innovation
* From teaching to learning
* Educating business professionals
* Technology support for learning
* Lifelong learning practices
* Developing appropriate learning materials
* Assessment methods for evaluation of learning
* Leading the innovation charge in education centers
* Business and education partnerships
* Executive development methods
The deadline for abstract submission is March 16, 2004. We hope that you
