Global Business Clusters, Networks and Global Supply Chains (2014-2015)

With the sponsorship from the University Global Partnership Network (UGPN) and the support from the Pro-Vice Chancellor International’s Office, scholars from the Research Centre for ‘Business Clusters, Networks and Economic Development’ (BCNED), University of Surrey and ‘Stakeholders & Networks’ group, University of Sao Paolo in Brazil formed a new collaborative network. The grant was awarded to support the project on ‘Global Business Clusters, Networks and Global Supply Chains’ and the collaboration between the Faculty of Economics and Administration (FEA) at the University of Sao Paolo in Brazil, and Surrey Business School at the University of Surrey in the UK.

During the two research visits in Brazil and in the UK the team engaged in a large number of collaborative meetings and workshops and prepared the ground for two forthcoming publications and fostering future collaborative research.
