    Sponsored by CMS/IM

    Teaching Through Images Of The Multinational Firm:

    Hilton Atlanta, Directors Room,
    Sunday August 13th 10.30am-12.00pm


    Chair/ Presenter: Glenn Morgan; U. of Warwick
    Coordinator: Diana Sharpe; Monmouth U.;
    Presenter: Simon Collinson; U. Of Warwick
    Presenter: Ray Loveridge; Said Business School, Oxford University
    Presenter: Paul Edwards, U. of Warwick


    In this workshop, we will examine a number of different perspectives or
    representations of the multinational firm.

    The workshop will present current debates and diverse perspectives on 1.
    the evolution of the multinational 2. the organization of the
    multinational 3. the impact and effects of the multinational

    By looking at the multinational using different images or perspectives
    the workshop will seek to deconstruct some of the simplistic stereotypes
    of the multinational, and present insights into the multiple metaphors
    and plurality of images that can be used to understand the multinational
    and inform the practice of stakeholders.

    This PDW highlights the plurality of perspectives and images of the
    multinational that have emerged in recent years and their contributions
    to raising awareness of the role and impact of the multinational in
    society and amongst communities.

    The value of such an approach in a teaching context for International
    Management classes will be discussed.

    Key words: multinationals, teaching, research
