Next Generation Management - Doing Business in the East Mini-Conference
 

Monday, 22nd March 2010 | 1pm - 6pm | DCU Business School, Dublin 9

Sample the high quality of teaching and strong industry engagement of DCU Business School at the 'Doing Business in the East' conference.

This half-day conference will bring together the brightest minds of DCU Business School and industry and government experts, to explore business opportunities in India, Russia, China and the Arabian Gulf.

The conference follows a key recommendation of the recent Global Irish Economic Forum, which encouraged Ireland Inc. to look East for opportunities.

The event forms part of DCU Business School's ground-breaking Next Generation Management initiative, which is designed to prepare the next generation of business leaders and managers, who are adaptive and flexible, innovative, socially responsible and accountable. The initiative is structured around the major personal, organisational and contextual challenges in modern management and specifically in a post-growth economy.
