The 2nd International Conference on Educational Economics (ICEE 2008)
Aug 27, 2008 - Aug 30, 2008,
National and Capodistrian University of Athens, Athens, Attica, Greece

The 2nd International Conference on Educational Economics is being organized by the Department of Economics, University of Athens, and will take place in Athens, Greece, on August 27– 30, 2008.

Economic theory and business practice traditionally highlights the importance of human capital as a key factor for economic growth and development. Education plays a crucial role in the formation of human capital. Thus the economic analysis of educational systems, or the economics of education, constitute an important research field.
Today, the economics of education has been firmly established as a distinct field of study while the importance of human capital to economic activity is recognised widely and in all fields of economics. For these reasons, a conference organised in the context of an international network for the study of the economics of education, with the participation of researchers from different fields, promises to create the academic environment necessary for progress in this important line of research.

Working language is English

Conference sub-topics:

· Education and labor market
· Educational market and public policy
· Financial management in the educational system
· Performance management and remuneration in institutions of education.
· Human Capital, Education, Social Mobility and Equity
· Economics of Knowledge, Research, Technology and Innovation in the information society

With the current economic resurgence of East Asia, more and more companies, financial institutions and governments are seeking securitisation as the answer to raising large amounts of funds for various purposes. This, in addition to the stringent rules of traditional bank lending, experts are optimistic that we can expect to see more securitisation deals being done, in these emerging markets, in the near future.

With structured finance facing challenges from all sides; from overcoming new accounting and regulatory requirements to seeking new markets for structured products, Securitisation Forum 2007 aims to address all these pressing issues by combining highly focussed topics with practical case studies to provide an in-depth study on how the experts in this field approach these challenges. This event is tailor made to provide you with strategic information on structured finance and innovative networking sessions to seize new opportunities arising in the Asian region.

Leading Global Projects and Virtual Teams
Aug 27, 2008 - Aug 27, 2008,
Continuing Education and Conference Center St. Paul, Minnesota United States

In today's global and fast moving economy, businesses are increasingly using resources located across geographies and time zones including distributed organizations and virtual teams. This means team members can be from more diverse geographies, cultures, demographics, and backgrounds than ever before. These virtual teams may be project-based, involving groups that may or may not be formally linked; or they may be formally linked groups located in different locations. Global and virtual teams depend on a variety of telecommunication technologies to exchange information, brainstorm, and make decisions. To lead a virtual team, managers need to learn how to operate across distance and in different time zones, be sensitive to language and cultural issues, be aware of interpersonal and communication style factors, cultivate a sharing and trusting environment, and keep the team focused. This course is designed to provide you with a frame work for leading virtual teams, offer guidelines on what works and what doesn't, discuss various communication tools for team effectiveness, and review tools and methods that facilitate leading global teams in a virtual setting.
