Dear colleagues
We would like to invite Strategy, Innovation Management, Entrepreneurship and International Business scholars interested in Singapore to join us for this reception.
Singapore presents an interesting case for scholarly analyses. It has many institutional arrangements and regulatory frameworks common to the developed economies of the Western, but also has decidedly Oriental cultural norms. It straddles many dichotomies and seeming contradictions - a cosmopolitan city with conservative values; an Asian financial hub which maintains a vibrant and substantial manufacturing industry; and a government that deliberately sets out to grow and socially engineer entrepreneurship, innovation, and a creative industry.
This reception will provide connections and tools to further your research on case studies in Singapore. If you hope to interview business leaders in Singapore-based companies, visit infrastructural projects which are key to the development of Singapore's industries, or seek funding for research projects focusing on Singapore, this will be an opportunity to take your interest forward.
Please RSVP for the event so that we can get a headcount for the food. Do also feel free to circulate this invitation with your peers who have a similar interest in Singapore.
Best,
Jay Chok
