OPENING CEREMONY

大會開幕式

吳曉波教授首先向與會來賓表示熱烈歡迎與誠摯感謝。他指出，在各類挑戰不斷涌現、全球連接無處不在的時代背景下，傳統意義上的國際商務（International Business）正加速向全球商務（Global Business）轉型。浙江大學自身的發展積極印證這一轉型方向。學校在QS世界大學排名中連續穩居全球前50位，論文數量與質量持續提升，國際合作伙伴關系不斷拓展，來華國際學生數量穩步擴大，浙江大學青山商學高等研究院實現跨越式發展并成為全球化研究與實踐的重要平臺。最后，他呼吁建立真正意義上的共贏合作（Win-Win Cooperation），將遍布全球各個角落的連接，轉化為可持續的創新動力與共同繁榮。

Professor Xiaobo WU delivered the opening address. Professor Wu first extended a warm welcome and sincere gratitude to all attendees. He pointed out that, in an era marked by the emergence of various challenges and ubiquitous global connections, traditional International Business is accelerating its transformation toward Global Business. The development of Zhejiang University actively testifies to this transformation. The university has consistently ranked among the global top 50 in the QS World University Rankings, achieved continuous improvements in both the quantity and quality of its publications, continuously expanded its international partnerships, steadily increased the number of inbound international students, and witnessed the TIABS achieve leapfrog development, becoming an important platform for globalization research and practice. Finally, he called for the establishment of genuine win-win cooperation, transforming connections scattered across every corner of the world into sustainable innovation drivers and shared prosperity.

Simon COLLINSON教授主持大會開幕式并對國際嘉賓和全體參會者表示了熱烈歡迎。他指出，本次會議旨在促進討論與合作，推動建立新的國際伙伴關系，并在逆全球化思潮抬頭的背景下增進跨文化理解。會議的兩大核心目標：一是認可并扶持中國學者在國際商務（IB）領域日益增長的貢獻，特別是博士及青年研究者群體；二是呼吁與會者運用IB的理論、分析框架與方法，為企業、政府和利益相關者提供應對當前高度不確定性挑戰的實用洞見。他進一步強調，盡管中國經濟面臨挑戰，但依然保持約5%的增速，其持續增長得益于不斷演進的國家創新體系以及高質量的制度和治理結構。浙江大學所在的浙江省是重要的創新中心，其創業精神和與區域龍頭企業的緊密聯系使其成為本次會議的理想舉辦地。

Professor Simon COLLINSON hosted the opening ceremony of the conference and extended a warm welcome to the international guests and all participants. He pointed out that the conference aims to facilitate discussion and collaboration, foster new international partnerships, and enhance cross-cultural understanding in the context of rising anti-globalization sentiments. The two core objectives of the conference are: first, to recognize, celebrate, and help nurture the growing contribution of Chinese scholars to the field of international business (IB), particularly doctoral students and early-career researchers; and second, to call on participants to apply IB theories, analytical frameworks, and methods to generate practical insights for businesses, governments, and stakeholders in addressing the challenges of the current highly uncertain environment. He further emphasized that, despite facing challenges, the Chinese economy continues to grow at around 5 percent, sustained by its evolving national innovation system as well as its high-quality institutions and governance structures. Zhejiang Province, where Zhejiang University is located, is an important innovation hub, and its entrepreneurial spirit and close ties with leading regional companies make it an ideal venue for this conference.

曼徹斯特大學Peter BUCKLEY教授發表了題為“時代變遷：中國對外直接投資的發展與國際商務理論演進（2007-2027）”的演講。他以其2007年關于中國對外直接投資決定因素的經典研究為起點，系統回顧了近20年來中國對外直接投資的發展歷程，指出在地緣政治沖擊、技術變革與經濟波動交織的背景下，跨國企業韌性與適應能力正面臨全新考驗。他表示，中國已從對外投資的“謹慎起步者”成長為全球領先的對外直接投資大國，并逐步發展為全球創新強國。與此同時，國際商務理論也在持續演進，研究視角逐漸從傳統以企業管理層為中心的“董事會視角”（Boardroom View），轉向更宏觀、更系統性的“鳥瞰式”（Bird’s Eye View）全球商業動態視角。

Professor Peter BUCKLEY from the University of Manchester delivered a speech titled “Times Change: The Development of COFDI and International Business Theory: 2007-2027”. Taking his 2007 classic study on the determinants of China’s outward FDI as a starting point, he systematically reviewed the development trajectory of China’s outward FDI over the past two decades, pointing out that, in the context of intertwining geopolitical shocks, technological changes, and economic fluctuations, the resilience and adaptive capabilities of multinational enterprises are facing entirely new challenges. He noted that China has grown from a “cautious starter” in outward investment into a leading global player in outward FDI, and has gradually emerged as a global innovation powerhouse. At the same time, international business theory continues to evolve, with research perspectives shifting from the traditional “boardroom view” toward a more macro and systemic “bird’s eye view”.

邁阿密大學Yadong LUO教授發表了題為“國際商務的地緣戰略”的演講。他圍繞全球秩序加速重構背景下國際商務的地緣戰略問題展開分析，指出全球體系正從“基于規則的開放”轉向“基于權力的保護主義”，跨國企業需從以效率為導向的全球化邏輯轉向更加重視韌性、務實性與多極布局的戰略模式。他提出“有限相互依賴”、“多元理性”、“普遍護欄”等關鍵命題，并以3R框架（Recalibration, Resilience, Regionalism）指導企業戰略調整。他強調企業既要增強對外部沖擊的防護能力，也要把握動蕩環境中的新機遇，并提出圍繞元智能、區域化和適應性全球戰略的未來研究議程。

Professor Yadong LUO from the University of Miami delivered a speech titled “Geo-strategies for International Business.” Focusing on the issue of geostrategy in international business against the backdrop of an accelerating restructuring of the global order, he pointed out that the global system is shifting from “rule-based openness” to “power-based protectionism”, and that multinational enterprises need to move from an efficiency-driven logic of globalization toward a strategic model that places greater emphasis on resilience, pragmatism, and multipolar positioning. He proposed key propositions such as “limited interdependence”, “multiple rationalities”, and “universal guardrails”, and introduced the 3R framework (recalibration, resilience, regionalism) to guide corporate strategic adjustments. He emphasized that firms should not only enhance their ability to shield themselves from external shocks but also seize new opportunities in a turbulent environment, and outlined a future research agenda centered on meta-intelligence, regionalization, and adaptive global strategies.

Keynote Roundtable

主旨圓桌論壇

圓桌討論環節由安特衛普大學Wim VANHAVERBEKE教授主持，聚焦顛覆性變局下國家創新能力建設、地緣政治影響與跨國企業戰略調整。Torben PEDERSEN教授、Grazia SANTANGELO教授、Jiatao (JT) LI教授和胡志堅博士，圍繞科技強國建設、企業合法性、跨國本地化戰略以及企業韌性與風險應對等議題展開深入交流。討論涵蓋地緣政治對創新體系和開放合作的深刻影響、高校與科研機構對產業與國家發展的支撐作用、跨國企業在政治張力中的多地本土化布局，以及企業如何將全球性擾動轉化為發展機會。與會專家一致認為，在不確定性持續上升的國際環境中，創新能力、開放合作與戰略韌性正成為國家競爭力和企業可持續發展的關鍵支撐。

The roundtable discussion session was hosted by Professor Wim VANHAVERBEKE from the University of Antwerp, focusing on national capacity building for innovation, geopolitical implications, and strategic adjustments of multinational enterprises in the context of disruptive changes. Prof. Torben PEDERSEN, Prof. Grazia SANTANGELO, Prof. Jiatao (JT) LI, and Dr. Zhijian HU engaged in in-depth discussions on topics such as building a science and technology powerhouse, corporate legitimacy, multi-localization strategies, and firm resilience and risk responses. The discussion covered the profound impact of geopolitics on innovation systems and open collaboration, the role of universities and research institutions in supporting industrial and national development, multi-localization strategies of MNEs amid political tensions, and how firms can transform global disruptions into development opportunities. The participating experts agreed that, in an international environment characterized by rising uncertainty, innovation capacity, open cooperation, and strategic resilience are becoming critical pillars of national competitiveness and the sustainable development of enterprises.

哥本哈根商學院Torben PEDERSEN教授發表了題為“全球性擾動與企業韌性”的演講。他指出，當代企業正處于一個由地緣政治不穩定、技術轉型、氣候風險與監管不確定性交織而成的復雜全球環境之中。圍繞全球性擾動如何重塑企業經營環境，他系統分析了組織在面對系統性沖擊時所需具備的預判、吸收、適應與恢復能力。他強調，企業韌性是一個多維概念，不僅意味著風險管理，還涵蓋敏捷領導力、業務多元化、數字化準備、財務靈活性以及利益相關方信任等關鍵能力。通過結合戰略分析與實踐案例，他指出，真正具備韌性的企業不僅能更好抵御不確定性，也更有可能在動蕩中識別并把握新的發展機會。

Professor Torben PEDERSEN from Copenhagen Business School delivered a speech titled “Global Disruptions and Corporate Resilience”. He pointed out that contemporary firms operate in a complex global environment shaped by the interplay of geopolitical instability, technological transformation, climate risks, and regulatory uncertainty. Focusing on how global disruptions reshape the business environment for firms, he systematically analyzed the organizational capabilities required to anticipate, absorb, adapt to, and recover from systemic shocks. He emphasized that firm resilience is a multidimensional concept, encompassing not only risk management but also key capabilities such as agile leadership, business diversification, digital readiness, financial flexibility, and stakeholder trust. By integrating strategic analysis with practical cases, he argued that truly resilient firms are not only better equipped to withstand uncertainty but also more likely to identify and seize new development opportunities amid turbulence.

哥本哈根商學院Grazia SANTANGELO教授發表了題為“同一場風暴，不同的羅盤：跨國企業如何應對地緣政治壓力”的演講。她聚焦地緣政治壓力上升背景下跨國企業的全球經營調整，指出同樣面對地緣政治風暴，不同企業的應對方式并不一致，不同政府的政策反應方向也存在顯著差異。她強調，當前企業戰略與政策軌跡正在東西方之間加速分化，這一現象促使學界進一步思考：當下究竟是各國和企業對同一地緣壓力作出的不同回應，還是全球化邏輯本身正在發生更深層次的分化與重構。

Professor Grazia SANTANGELO from Copenhagen Business School delivered a speech titled “Same Storm, Different Compasses: How MNEs Navigate Geopolitical Pressures”. She focused on the global operational adjustments of multinational enterprises against the backdrop of rising geopolitical pressures, pointing out that, even when facing the same geopolitical storm, different firms adopt divergent coping strategies, and the policy responses of different governments also vary significantly. She emphasized that corporate strategies and policy trajectories are currently accelerating their divergence between the East and the West. This phenomenon, she noted, prompts the academic community to further reflect on whether what we are witnessing is merely a set of different responses by countries and firms to the same geopolitical pressures, or whether the very logic of globalization itself is undergoing a deeper fragmentation and restructuring.

香港科技大學Jiatao (JT) LI教授發表了題為“跨國企業應對地緣政治緊張的戰略響應：一個雙重合法性視角”的演講。他圍繞雙邊政治緊張關系下跨國企業的戰略響應展開分析，指出地緣政治緊張正在日益深刻地改變跨國企業在母國與東道國環境中的評價機制，使原本常規的商業決策轉變為帶有政治含義的立場信號。在此基礎上，他提出“雙邊合法性”視角，并引入“雙重合法性困境”概念，即當高地緣政治緊張與高東道國依賴并存時，企業所面臨的合法性要求會變得尖銳而相互沖突，同時東道國市場的損失又難以輕易承受。該研究為理解跨國企業在復雜政治環境中的戰略平衡提供了新的分析框架。

Professor Jiatao (JT) LI from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) delivered a speech titled “MNEs’ Strategic Responses to Geopolitical Tensions: A Dual Legitimacy Perspective.” He analyzed the strategic responses of MNEs under bilateral political tensions, pointing out that geopolitical tensions are increasingly reshaping how MNEs are evaluated in both home and host environments, turning ordinary business decisions into politically charged signals of alignment. On this basis, he proposed a “bilateral legitimacy” perspective and introduced the concept of the “dual legitimacy dilemma”, which arises when high geopolitical tension coincides with high host country dependence, making legitimacy demands sharply contradictory while rendering losses in the host country market difficult to absorb. This study offers a new analytical framework for understanding the strategic balancing of MNEs in complex political environments.

中國科學學與科技政策研究會理事長胡志堅博士發表了題為“中國當前所處的發展階段及建設科技強國的前景”的演講。他系統介紹了中國建設科技強國的階段性進展與未來方向，指出從一級指標和基礎指標總體表現來看，中國在“創新資源”“知識創造”和“企業創新”三方面表現較為突出。他還提出建設科技強國的“五個方面任務”，包括充分發揮新型舉國體制優勢，加快實現高水平科技自立自強；推動科技創新與產業創新深度融合，助力發展新質生產力；深化科技體制機制改革，激發創新創造活力；統籌推進教育、科技、人才事業發展，構筑人才競爭優勢；踐行人類命運共同體理念，推動科技開放合作。

Dr Zhijian HU, President of the Chinese Association for Science of Science and S&T Policy Research, delivered a speech titled “China’s Current Stage and the Its Prospects of Building Itself into a Leader in Science and Technology”. He systematically presented the phased progress and future directions of China’s drive to become a leader in science and technology, pointing out that, based on the overall performance of primary and fundamental indicators, China excels particularly in three areas: “innovation resources”, “knowledge creation”, and “corporate innovation”. He further proposed five tasks for building a science and technology powerhouse, including: fully leveraging the advantages of the new type of nationwide system to accelerate the realization of high-level self-reliance and strength in science and technology; promoting the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation with industrial innovation to help develop new productive forces; deepening the reform of the science and technology management system to unleash innovation and creativity; coordinating the development of education, technology, and talent to build a competitive edge in human resources; and acting on the vision of a community with a shared future for mankind to advance open international cooperation in science and technology.

本次圓桌論壇不僅回應了全球地緣政治與經濟格局重構中的現實挑戰，也進一步凸顯了創新驅動、開放協同與韌性治理的重要意義。從胡志堅博士關于科技強國建設與高水平開放的思考，到Jiatao (JT) LI教授關于企業合法性與多地本土化戰略的分析，再到Grazia SANTANGELO教授對不同全球化邏輯的辨析，以及Torben PEDERSEN教授對企業把握擾動機會與提升風險管理能力的闡釋，都為理解顛覆性時代下國家與企業如何實現穩健發展提供了重要啟示。與會者一致認為，面對復雜多變的全球環境，唯有持續提升創新能力、優化治理機制、深化開放合作，才能更好應對沖擊、把握機遇，推動國家發展與國際商務實踐邁向更高質量階段。

This roundtable forum not only responded to the real-world challenges arising from the ongoing restructuring of global geopolitics and the world economy, but also further highlighted the significance of innovation-driven development, open collaboration, and resilient governance. From Dr Zhijian HU’s reflections on building China’s strength in science and technology alongside high-level opening-up, to Professor Jiatao (JT) LI’s analysis of corporate legitimacy and multi-localization strategies, to Professor Grazia SANTANGELO’s examination of different logics of globalization, and Professor Torben PEDERSEN’s insights on how firms can seize disruptive opportunities while enhancing risk management capabilities—all these contributions provided important lessons for understanding how nations and enterprises can achieve robust development in a disruptive era. The participants agreed that in the face of a complex and volatile global environment, only by continuously strengthening innovation capacity, improving governance mechanisms, and deepening open cooperation can we better respond to shocks, seize opportunities, and advance both national development and international business practice toward higher-quality stages.

北京大學武常岐教授發表了題為“中國國際商務研究與教育的演進：過去、現在與未來”的演講。他指出，中國已成為國際商務發展的重要舞臺，既是全球商業活動的主要場所，也是人才培養的關鍵情境。中國不僅為國際商務研究提供了實證背景，更日益成為國際商務理論構建與教育創新的新興源泉，該領域的未來在于將中國商業經驗轉化為具有全球意義的理論與教育課程設計。

Professor Changqi WU from Peking University delivered a speech titled “Evolution of International Business Research and Education in China: The Past, Present and Future”. He pointed out that China has become an important arena for the development of international business, serving both as a major site of global business activity and as a key context for talent development. China is not only an empirical setting for international business research, but also an emerging source of IB theorizing and educational innovation. The future of the field lies in translating Chinese business experience into globally meaningful theories and educational curriculum designs.

香港中文大學Xufei MA教授發表了題為“描繪全球復雜性：國際商務研究中使用全球事件數據庫的議程”的演講。他指出，近期國際商務研究領域的一個顯著趨勢是全球事件數據庫的應用潛力日益增強，但一個值得關注的問題在于，當前IB研究仍高度依賴傳統數據來源，這在一定程度上限制了其解釋當下動蕩國際環境、并產生更具時效性與實踐價值的研究洞察的能力。相比之下，部分新興數據庫開始利用非結構化新聞文本，系統捕捉“誰在何時何地對誰采取了何種行動”等關鍵事件信息。通過對比傳統數據庫與新興數據庫，為未來IB研究中數據庫的使用探索了若干富有前景的方向。

Professor Jane Lu from City University of Hong Kong delivered a speech titled “When Geopolitics Fractures Global Innovation”. She pointed out that although global innovation networks enable multinational enterprises to access talent and resources worldwide, thereby enhancing innovation performance, this strategy also faces significant risks against the backdrop of rising techno-nationalism. Geopolitical tensions reduce MNEs’ innovation output, particularly for those that rely heavily on internal linkage strategies. Using inventor-level data and a difference-in-differences approach, she found that geopolitical risks disrupt internal linkages primarily by undermining cross-border research team collaboration and talent mobility. Moreover, such disruptions propagate through inventor networks, reducing the productivity of domestic inventors connected to affected international collaborators. The study reveals that, in an increasingly fragmented geopolitical landscape, global R&D networks can shift from valuable assets to systemic vulnerabilities.

香港城市大學Jane Lu教授發表了題為“地緣政治分裂下的全球創新”的演講。她指出，盡管全球創新網絡能夠幫助跨國企業獲取全球范圍內的人才與資源、提升創新績效，但在技術民族主義抬頭的背景下，這一戰略也面臨顯著風險。地緣政治緊張局勢會削弱跨國企業的創新產出，尤其是那些高度依賴內部聯系策略的企業。通過采用發明人層面數據與雙重差分方法，她發現地緣政治風險主要通過破壞跨境研究團隊協作與人才流動來影響內部聯系，并且這種沖擊會沿著發明人網絡進一步傳導，降低與受影響國際合作者相關聯的本土發明人的生產率。該研究揭示在地緣政治日益碎片化的環境下，全球研發網絡可能從寶貴資產轉變為系統性脆弱環節。
