Description: This conference, developed by the Faculty at Oakland University's School of Business Administration, brings together prominent economists who through examples and debate, will help Michigan policy makers, academics and businesses to better understand and develop coping strategies in a turbulent global economy. The conference brings prominent speakers with extensive knowledge of globalization, the Midwest region, and the automotive industry. The North American auto market is both mature and in the midst of a substantial restructuring. While some only see continuing threats to Michigan's prosperity, globalization brings opportunities to those able to recognize and take advantage of them. The focus of this conference is to explore possible futures for our state and for our firms and illuminate paths that have the potential for both the state and the auto industry.
