"Crossroads: The Interplay of Business, Government, and the Global Economy"

The George Washington University School of Business presents "Crossroads: The Interplay of Business, Government, and the Global Economy"

March 31 and April 1, 2011, Jack Morton Auditorium, 805 21st Street NW

The symposium will explore the delicate balance of business growth and the public’s well-being within the context of an international economy that is defined by widely varying markets, cultures, and people. Panels will investigate what shared responsibilities, if any, exist between governments and the global business community and whether markets exist in a vacuum or within a larger social context.
