AN INVITATION TO LIMA AND PERU
Lima, the capital of Peru, is located on the coastal
plain. Its metropolitan population of nearly nine
million people is highly diverse, and the city is a major
player in Peru’s emerging economy. It is also a city of
contrasts between old and new architecture, and a
place where you can get great food. The third largest
country in South America, Peru is home to some of
the world’s most famous natural and ancestral cultural
sites – inherited from diverse pre Columbian cultures,
with Machu Picchu, Lake Titicaca, and the Nazca
Lines as main tourist attractions. Peru's astonishing
variety of climates and eco-systems, including the
Andes and the Amazon basin, ranks the country
amongst the world's top eight nations in terms of biodiversity.

CONFERENCE THEME
At the Intersection of Old and New
Peru has a legacy of an ancient sophisticated
civilization that created amazing splendor and has
been able to successfully embrace the modern global
business world to develop a strong economy. In
many fields of management we face the same
challenge: how do we keep and appreciate past
learnings as we innovate for the future. This is a
dilemma we face in many areas of management (i.e.,
classroom technology, MBA curriculum, leadership
paradigms, research methods). All developing
countries face this challenge of honoring their culture
and history while adopting new practices for
economic growth. Managers also face this as their
companies need to adapt to a changing global
competitive environment.
Following past conference practice, there will be a
mix of academic sessions, site visits, cultural activities,
and keynote addresses by local experts.
This conference is open to a discussion of
perspectives on economic, cultural, technological,
sustainability, and ethical factors that affect global
managers. The theme is meant to be interpreted
broadly. Papers, cases, roundtable discussions, and
exercises exploring the complexities of our new world
challenges are welcomed. Papers addressing the
practical approaches to dealing with these challenges
in individual nations are also welcomed and will be
grouped with papers dealing with similar issues from
other countries, to create comparative sessions.
