Conference: Global Manufacturing and Service Networks; Hyderabad, India; August 2-4, 2006

我们计划于2006年8月2日至4日在印度商学院（ISB）校园举行为期两天的全球制造和服务网络会议。它是由普渡大学（Purdue University）、纽约大学（New York University）、印度商学院（Indian School of Business）和德勤研究（Deloitte Research）的研究人员联合策划的。在8月4日的学术会议上，我们将向美国国家科学基金会（NSF）寻求与旅行相关的资助，我们计划邀请美国和亚洲的学者介绍他们关于新兴经济体供应链如何建立全球竞争能力的研究。来自新产品开发、研发、物流和客户服务等领域的不同背景的研究人员将为会议带来他们的观点。会议将为在这一领域工作的美国研究人员提供一个分享数据、经验、研究方法和接触公司的途径。其影响将是更深入地了解新兴经济体的供应链能力是如何建立的，以及如何在这一领域进行进一步的研究。在前一天（8月3日），我们计划邀请产业界和政府的代表，根据个人的决策或政策分析经验，阐述企业和产业的竞争力。我们的目标是在众多研究人员之间分享信息、想法、数据和问题，这些研究人员可以在他们的研究中进一步使用这些输入。

We plan to hold a two-day conference focused on Global Manufacturing and Service Networks in the campus of the Indian School of Business (ISB) on August 2-4, 2006. It is jointly planned by researchers at Purdue University, New York University, Indian School of Business and Deloitte Research. For the academic sessions on August 4, the day we seek travel related funding for US researchers from NSF, we plan to invite academics from the US and Asia to describe their research on how supply chains in emerging economies have built the ability to compete globally. Different researchers with different backgrounds, such as in new product development, R&D, logistics and customer care will bring their perspectives to the conference. The conference will provide an avenue to share data, experience, research methods and access to firms amongst researchers in the US working in this area. The impact of this will be a deeper understanding of how capability is getting built in supply chains in emerging economies and how to conduct further research in this area. On the previous day, August 3, we plan to invite speakers from the industry and government to describe the competitiveness of firms and industries based on personal experience either with decision making or policy analysis. Our aim is to share information, ideas, data and questions amongst a number of researchers who can further use this input in their studies.
