ABOUT THE APSCHE

The Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE) came into existence on 20th

May, 1988 through an Act (No. 16 of 1988) of the State Legislature to advise the Government in

matters relating to Higher Education in the State and to oversee its development with

perspective planning and for matters connected therewith.

The Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education, the first of its kind in the Country, set up

as per the recommendations of the National Education Policy 1986, is primarily a coordinating

and liaisoning body between the University Grants Commission, the State Government and the

Universities. It is the general duty of the Council to coordinate and determine standards in

institutions of Higher Education or Research and Scientific and Technical Institutions in

accordance with the guidelines issued by the University Grants Commission from time to time.

ABOUT THE OSMANIA UNIVERSITY

ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

THEME OF THE CONFERENCE

The world today is more closely knit, using different means of organization, communication and

production, and is more subject to rapid change than ever before. Patterns of international

trade, capital and competition have been changing dramatically in recent decades, with serious

consequences for business strategy. With change becoming increasing complex, international

players today find themselves dealing with new issues ranging from cross border alliances to

responding to competitors backed by powerful governments. At the same time, there has been

striking and growing differences among countries in their ability to compete and grow. Global

markets offer people greater opportunity to tap into more and larger markets around the world,

giving them access to more capital flows, technology, cheaper imports, and larger export

markets. But markets cannot ensure that everyone shares equally in the benefits of increased

efficiency. Countries must be prepared to adopt the policies that will enable them to benefit from

globalization. The poorest countries may need the support of the international community.

Although globalization offers extensive opportunities for worldwide development, it is not

progressing evenly. Some countries are becoming integrated into the global economy more

quickly than others and are seeing faster growth and reduced poverty.

It is a disturbing matter that the income gap between high and low income countries has

widened and the so many of the world’s citizens live in abject poverty. But it is wrong to assume

that nothing can be done to improve this situation. Low income countries have not been able to

integrate with the global economy as quickly as other countries partly because of their chosen

policies and partly because of circumstances beyond their control. No country can afford to

remain isolated from the world economy, and the international community should work to help

the poorest countries become better integrated and grow more rapidly.

The global environment has changed dramatically with the rise of rapid economic

development, digital trade, and global competition. The global financial system remains in flux.

The uncertainty landscape poses both opportunities and risk for international financial

institutions and there is a pre & post partnership crises between public, private, foreign and

government participation in global business. The economic power is cartelizing in few giant

organization/ institutions and evolving into disruptive competition in the international business.

To address these issues the International conference is organised.

The Conference aims at providing interaction with cross-section of experts involving

academicians, practitioners, administrators and policy makers. It also provides a platform to

discuss the ongoing issues pertaining to WTO, IMF and Globalization and its impact on global

business. The objective of the conference is to foster close relationship of teaching institutions,

Government and Industry.
