Transport and travel

Travelling to Reading from London Heathrow If flying to London Heathrow (the nearest airport to Reading), the most economical way to travel

between Reading and Heathrow is to catch the RailAir bus. A return ticket by the RailAir bus is £25.

For details please see: www.heathrow.com/transport-and-directions/buses-and-coaches/rail_air-

bus-links. The bus arrives and departs from Reading train station. Delegates preferring to travel by

taxi are advised to pre-book it. We recommend Loddon Cars: +44 (0) 118 932 1321 or Yellow Cars:

+44 (0) 118 966 0660. Travelling by taxi is more expensive than using the RailAir bus. The cost of a

taxi booked in advance is approximately £40–50, while a black cab from the taxi rank at Heathrow

will be closer to £100.

It is also possible to take the Heathrow express to Paddington in Central London, and then take the

train to Reading. However, this will take more than an hour, and will cost about £50.

Travelling to Reading from Gatwick Visitors flying in to London Gatwick (LGW) can take a direct train to Reading, which takes

approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes. There is one train every hour.

Travel from Stansted to Reading We strongly discourage you from travelling to Reading via Stansted. The journey time is

approximately 3 hours.

Travel by train between Reading and Central London Trains from London Paddington to Reading run approximately every 15–20 minutes throughout the

day and average journey times are around 30 minutes. To check the train times please see the

National Rail website: www.nationalrail.co.uk

There are less frequent trains from London Waterloo. In general, round trip tickets are cheaper than

two, one-way tickets. Also note that travel by train during rush hours (between 07:00–09:30 and

16:00-18:00) from London to Reading costs approximately twice non-rush-hour fares.

A return ticket during rush hour (peak times) costs about £35, after 09:30, a return ticket costs less

than £20 (off-peak tickets).

Travel by Eurostar If you travel by Eurostar, you will arrive at St Pancras International. We recommend you take a taxi to

Paddington Station (approximately £10), but the two are also connected by the Tube (you will need

to buy a ticket or Oyster card).

Travelling from Reading Town to the University and back There will be limited complementary bus transportation between Reading town centre and the Henley

Business School. These are privately hired Reading Buses, and they are marked with the conference logo.

You do not have to pay to use these buses, but they have limited frequency. Details are overleaf:


12

Note that the pick-up point at Reading Station is next to the RailAir Bus stand (the bus stop is

labelled ‘EJ’). There are also regularly scheduled buses from this spot, which travel to and from the

University (details below), so do not get on the wrong bus!

Thursday 6 April

16:20: Pick-up from the Penta Hotel

16:25: Pick-up from Reading Station (stop EJ) and drop-off at Henley Business School

20:45: Departure from Henley Business School and drop off at Reading Station and the Penta Hotel.

19:30: Departure from the Henley Business School and drop-off at Reading Town Hall.

Saturday 8 April


07:50: Pick-up from Reading Station (stop EJ) and drop-off at Henley Business School.

We have not arranged for buses at the end of the conference. Free bus vouchers will be available from the

reception desk on Saturday. These will enable you to take the ‘regular’ Reading Town buses from the bus

stop on Chancellors Way towards the town centre. Simply present the voucher to the bus driver in lieu of

payment. You can also make your own taxi booking from the Henley Business School Reception.

Travel by bus to and from the University (regular Reading

Town bus services) Delegates wishing to travel to Whiteknights Campus are advised to take bus number 21. The buses

run every 7–8 minutes between the town and the University (and back) during peak hours. The

timetable can be found here www.reading-buses.co.uk/files/timetables/current/claret%20times.pdf.

The bus stop can be found outside the station, near the RailAir bus stand and it is marked with an ‘EJ’

symbol. Please see the map below.

Bus numbers 9 and 3 also connect the University with Reading Station, but these buses drop you

outside the main gate of the University, and do not come onto the campus.

Delegates travelling by the 21 bus are advised to alight at the Whiteknights House bus stop and

then follow directional signs to Henley Business School. Tickets bought on the bus are £2.00 for a

single journey, and £4.00 for an all-day ticket. Exact change will be needed as the drivers do not give

change.

PLUSBUS is available in Reading. PLUSBUS is a cheap bus pass (similar to a Travel card) that you buy

with your train ticket at any National Rail station booking office, by phone or online. It gives

unlimited bus travel around the whole urban area of the origin and/or destination town of your train

journey, including to and from the rail station. Visit www.plusbus.info for further information.

Where to get on and off:

Travelling to the Whiteknights campus by car All visitors to our campuses on Monday to Friday between 08:00 and 17:00 should be aware that

parking needs to be pre-arranged and a parking permit must be displayed in the car. Delegates should

provide their car registration number to the Administrative team in advance of the conference. The

parking permits will be ready for collection from the registration desk. We can also post them if

requested. Please let us know.

The Whiteknights Campus of Reading University is approximately 1.5 miles from the M4. Delegates

coming by car should follow the signs for the University of Reading from the M4 (J11), and if coming

from central Reading should follow the signs for the A327 to Aldershot. The main entrance to the

University is on A327, Shinfield Road. Please drive ahead and then take the first turning on the left.

Continue towards car park number 2 (for a detailed map of the Campus see

www.henley.ac.uk/files/pdf/schools/ibs/University_of_Reading_Whiteknights_Campus_Map.pdf),

which has been designated for conference delegates. The postcode for your Sat Nav is RG6 6UR.


14

if safe to do so, close the door of the room

raise the alarm using the nearest fire alarm call point

phone the emergency services using the nearest telephone (0–999 on an internal University

phone, or 999 on a mobile phone) OR

phone Security Services Emergency Control on extension 6300 (0118 378 6300 on a

mobile)

evacuate the building using the nearest fire exit; report to the assembly point in Car Park 2

Only attempt to put out the fire if it is safe to do so. If you call the emergency services on 0–999, you must

inform Security Services Control of this so that Security can help to direct the emergency services.

On hearing a continuous alarm you must:

evacuate the building as quickly as possible, using the nearest safe exit. Lifts must not be

used (unless they are clearly marked as suitable for the evacuation of disabled people; they

should then only be used for the evacuation of disabled people)

ensure that staff/students/visitors who need assistance are escorted to a Refuge Area or out

of the building

close all doors and windows in the area before leaving but not if this will endanger yourself

Services or Evacuation Officer that you can do so.

For minor medical assistance, please contact Valerie Woodley on 0118 378 7667

For medical emergencies To call an ambulance: dial 999 (from an internal phone, add the prefix 0 or 9 to obtain an

external line)

accident/injury; the condition of the casualty; your exact location (including building name

(Henley Business School), floor, room number etc.)

Phone University Security on 0118 378 6300 to alert them to the fact that an ambulance has

1.7: Panel – A U-Turn of Globalisation Time: 8:30–10:30 Room: G15, HBS

Session chair: Pavida Pananond

The decades since the end of World War II have been characterised by a rapid increase of global

integration in flows of trade, investment, information, and people. A myriad of investment

incentives have been concocted as part of this mechanism that facilitates such global connections.

In the aftermath of Brexit and Donald Trump’s election, globalisation appears to face more risks of a

U-turn. These new trends cast dark shadows and raise questions over what countries and firms need

to do in their policies and strategies under this new normal. Through an informed discussion on

changes and continuities of globalisation, this panel takes stock of our understanding on what

investment incentives mean and how they can be used under different phases of globalisation.

Panellists:

Pavida Pananond, Thammasat Business School, Thammasat University, Thailand

Ana Teresa Lehmann, Porto Business School, University of Porto, Portugal

Hafiz Mirza, UNCTAD, Henley Business School and Bradford University School of

4.7: Panel – Meet the Editors Time: 08:30–10:30 Room: G15, HBS

The purpose of the panel session is to assist in improving the quality of IB and strategy research in

the UK and Ireland, and bringing new scholars into the IB field. The session will be beneficial to

junior scholars who have not previously published in the presented journals, to scholars who are

located in universities that offer limited support for international business research, to scholars who

are trained in disciplines less commonly associated with the field (e.g. geography, political science,

ethnography or economic history) but are interested in conducting international business research.

The following journals will be presented by the editors:

Alain Verbeke, Journal of International Business Studies

Daniel Shapiro, Multinational Business Review

Desislava Dikova, Journal of East–West Business and International Journal of Emerging Markets

Geoffrey Wood, British Journal of Management and Annals to Corporate Governance

5.7: Panel – Micromultinationals: What Can International

Business Theories and Concepts Explain About Their

Activities? Time: 14:00–16:00 Room: G15, HBS

Session chair: Pavlos Dimitratos

Micromultinationationals (mMNEs) are those small firms that engage in advanced foreign forms (i.e.

beyond exporting) to expand. mMNEs have flexible governance structures that may be conducive to

attainment of a competitive advantage abroad, following a different route than those of established

MNEs or fast internationalising firms. Viewed in this light, mMNEs could offer diversity and pluralism

to international business and international entrepreneurship research; and, potentially suggest

intriguing questions on extending thinking through the examination of the activities of those small,

flexible and agile MNEs.

Panellists:

Pavlos Dimitratos, University of Glasgow, UK

Ulf Andersson, Mälardalen University, Sweden and BI Norwegian Business School, Norway

Luciano Ciravegna, King’s College London, UK

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESSSeventh EditionSimon CollinsonRajneesh NarulaAlan M. Rugman

Business is becoming increasingly international, as the interaction, exchange and interdependence between nations, fi rms and people around the world keeps on growing. Our complex, fast-moving global economy continually throws up new management and leadership challenges, which require clear thinking.

This textbook connects tried-and-tested theory, analytical frameworks, data and case examples to deliver a comprehensive guide to the subject from authors who keep pace with the ongoing developments in both theory and practice.

New to this edition:

■ Professor Rajneesh Narula has joined the project as co-author.

■ There are three completely new chapters to open the book, placing a much greater emphasis on: (1) technology and innovation; (2) institutions as mediators and moderators of MNE activities; (3) small and medium-sized enterprises as important global players, and; (4) how MNEs can be responsible businesses.

■ 21 brand new cases, including: ‘Worrying Times for Singapore’s SME’s’, ‘Greece: Third (Bailout) Time Lucky’, ‘the 2015 China fi nancial crisis’, ‘Adidas: Promoting a Global Sports Brand’, the ‘Glass Ceiling’, ‘Nestle in Nigeria’, ‘Financial Transparency at Siemens’ and the ‘VW diesel dispute’. The majority of other cases have been signifi cantly updated or completely re-written.

■ Every Chapter has been thoroughly updated, with new data, trends and references. A revised bibliography appears at the end of each in the ‘Further Reading’ section.

AuthorsSimon Collinson is Professor of International Business and Innovation and Dean at Birmingham Business School, the University of Birmingham, UK.

Rajneesh Narula is John H. Dunning Chair of International Business Regulation at the Henley Business School, University of Reading, UK.
