Events overview

The meeting will be held at the WU (Vienna University of Economics and Business).

The WDLS–EU summit is designed to provide powerful information and trends on business, research, education, media etc., which relate directly to market trends, global competition, sales and marketing. This conference also provides a forum for face-to-face networking between diversity thought leaders, potential strategic partners, prospects and customers.

• How significant is the current crisis for economics?
• Must we abandon the equilibrium-based paradigm of economics?
• Should economics remain at the heart of the business curriculum given what many now regard as its unrealistic assumptions about human nature? 
• How should economics and management incorporate issues of global sustainability and global governance?
• What does all this mean for strategy and management?
