Talks, Seminars and Related Activities

These activities comprise:

Weekly workshops and seminars for faculty and doctoral students with internal and visiting speakers.
Public conferences on international business topics of interest and importance.
Periodic panel discussions on key global business issues, with participation of
faculty members as well as practitioners and government officials.

In addition, the Institute maintains a Working Paper Series containing research related to global business, and published one journal, Japan and the World Economy, under the auspices of the Center for U.S. Business and Economic Studies.

All of these are part of a coherent, high-profile set of activities. The overriding objective is to foster a rich intellectual climate that complements the various disciplines, and leads to original and visible research -- as well as providing a useful venue for prominent academic and other speakers.
