Conference Theme The 2011 EAM-I conference in Bangalore, India is designed to foster an international exchange of management research and practice among scholars and managers from around the world. The conference theme, "Global Web of Knowledge" was chosen with a recognition that issues surrounding globalization, outsourcing and off-shoring of business processes, and the growing interconnectedness of global knowledge networks that profoundly shape the context in which organizations face the challenge of managing sustainably in the 21st century. 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. This 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.

An Invitation to Bangalore
 A Glimpse of Bangalore
India is the 11th largest economy in terms of nominal GDP and the 4th largest after adjusting for purchasing power parity. Currently, it is one of the fastest growing economies with a growth of about 9%. Some of the best known global organizations have their IT operations in Bangalore, and now the city has emerged as a hub for services across various domains. What is less known is that technology hubs like Bangalore are involved in high end innovations for multinational companies and have also produced companies that have spawned their own chip designs, software and pharmaceuticals products and led to the emergence of the some of the most globally competitive Indian technology firms. "I find Bangalore to be one of the most exciting places in the world," says Dan Scheinman, Cisco Systems Inc.'s senior vice-president for corporate development.
