general comments & questions
Summary:The floor is now open for questions from anywhere... including anybody reading this blog!!! please post your questions as comments below...
Shanghai: Dr. Wang HuiYao.
Today in flat world. High time for this discussion. If no people movement, no other movement. Multinationals in China for past 28 years. Foreign companies employ 45 million people in China. contribute to 59% total foreign trade in China. It's a 2-way street. Would like to raise question: what are policies we could generate to increase in study of global talent .... UN or World Bank doesn't have project for policy studies on global talent.
Delhi: Mark Dutz.
Topic [...]Discussants
Mark Dutz from New Delhi.
Question is what should be role of public policy to help people build and maintain networks. Have been putting together report on helping environment. Given heterogeneous economy of India, but 90% of workforce in informal sector... diffusion and aborption of knowledge... flow of people and talent.
Davesh gave good examples of diaspora as catalyst for policy change and as direct source of returning talent. Government can help catalyze the ways in which diaspora can help. [...]commentary from David Good, Tata Group
will comment primarily on Kapur paper. In many past conferences, everyone claims specialty in either China or India but can't speak about the other. So familiarity with both countries would be a valuable commodity. Recommend to students a broader approach.
Kapur paper close to own experience in travelling to india past 35 years. also with personal experience (wife is Gujarati Jain with diamond family). She came to US to study. when married in 1973, she didn't want to leave India.
