EFMD - CEIBS Conference on Innovative Business in China and Europe (followed by EQUIS, EPAS & DAF seminars)
The development and growth of China over the last 15 years has been remarkable and has had a profound impact on the global economy. However with continued growth comes the challenge of maintaining this in the future. China is looking to shift from being the manufacturing powerhouse of the world to being a centre of innovation and ideas and the 2012 CEIBS-EFMD conference in Beijing (November 29-30) will focus on Innovative Business in China and Europe.
Questions that will be discussed and explored during the conference will include:
- What is the status of innovation in China?
- How innovative are Chinese companies that have gone global?
- What are the Chinese government's innovation policies?
- Which are the implications of innovative business practices on human resources?
- How open are European companies to innovation?
- How can European companies relate to China?
- Does China have the talent available to shift towards an innovation driven economy?
- What does this mean for business schools and companies?
All of these issues are relevant to companies, business schools, faculty and policy makers with an interest in China's and Europe's economic growth and cooperation. A variety of corporate and academic speakers will provide input and lead discussions around innovative business. The conference programme will be based on the expertise of the Centre on China Innovation at CEIBS. The 2012 CEIBS-EFMD conference will take place on the Beijing campus of CEIBS on 29-30 November and will be followed by EFMD introductory accreditation seminars which are highlighted below.
This conference is organised in the framework of the EU-China Business Management Training (BMT) Project, http://www.ceibs.edu/bmt/, funded by the European Union.

Congreso Internacional "¿A dónde va la escuela en Europa?"
La institución escolar parece ser la gran olvidada de los grandes proyectos educativos europeos. Todos los esfuerzos parecen centrarse en potenciar y desarrollar ese gran espacio de la educación superior surgido de los acuerdos de Bolonia, que vendría a colmar el deseo y la necesidad de una Europa unida en el saber, la ciencia y la tecnología, pero que parece olvidar la base que sustenta ese magno designio: la escuela.
Ejes Temáticos
Conscientes de la imposibilidad de abarcar en un primer encuentro de esta naturaleza los múltiples aspectos que conforman y se desprenden del objeto de análisis de esta reunión científica se proponen una serie de ejes de reflexión en torno a los cuales girarán los trabajos de estas jornadas:
- Los grandes retos de la escuela del siglo XXI.

Tracking the Economic Value of Embedded Digital Technology: A Supply-Side Methodology
This methodological report indicates a way forward in estimating the economic role of embedded digital technology (EDT) from the supply side. We propose a more holistic approach to the production and diffusion of ICT and we develop the foundation of a methodology that would ultimately take into account the overall use and impact of embedded digital technology in the productive process.
Technological, economic and statistical arguments support our approach. Current technological development no longer accommodates clear borderlines between ICT and non-ICT goods or between general purpose computers and embedded digital devices.
