Sponsored by:
| Call for Proposals and Papers Research Symposium on Corporate Governance in China and India: Sponsored by Wiley-Blackwell Publishers and Old Dominion University October 24-25, 2008 Virginia Beach, Virginia |
China and India are rapidly ascending as economic powers and are playing important
roles in international trade and investment. Increasingly, international investors are
entering these markets, and Chinese and India firms are raising capital globally. As
these countries’ interactions with the global economy increase, knowledge of corporate
governance in China and India is becoming more critical for business executives, policy
makers, and academic researchers.
Wiley-Blackwell and Old Dominion University are organizing this symposium to encourage
research on corporate governance issues relating to China and India. We invite authors
to submit papers about corporate governance for firms operating in China and India,
comparative governance studies of the two countries, or governance for firms based in
one or both of these two countries that focus on various aspects of the following
suggested topics:
The Symposium will feature keynote speeches by Anil Gupta on Indian Corporate
governance (www.anilkgupta.com) and Minxin Pei (www.carnegieendowment.org/experts)
on Chinese corporate governance, research paper presentations from scholars all over
the world, and round-table discussions with business practitioners. All papers submitted
to the symposium will be double-blind reviewed for acceptance. The best papers from
the symposium will be considered for publication in a special issue of Corporate
Governance: An International Review (CGIR) located at www.blackwellpublishing.

We especially welcome manuscripts that are (1) theoretically and methodologically
rigorous and innovative, and (2) provide insights that are useful to executives, directors,
and/or public policy makers engaged in corporate governance matters.
Please read the author guidelines before submitting your paper. Papers that do not
adhere to the house style guidelines will be returned to authors for changes. Please

Manuscript Central system http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/corg. The deadline for full
papers accepted for presentation is JULY 14, 2008 (new deadline), and the best
papers will be eligible for publication in our forthcoming issue on corporate governance
in China and India. Symposium details may be found at http://www.cgirconf.com. If your
paper or proposal is accepted, at least one contributing author must attend the
symposium to present the research. In addition, we will not send your paper
out for review until one contributing author has registered for the
conference.
For those authors who wish to present working papers to the conference (and not be
