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:
Henley Business School

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!

Saturday 8 April
07:45: Pick-up from the Penta Hotel
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.

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.

Pavida Pananond, Thammasat Business School, Thammasat University, Thailand

4.7: Panel – Meet the Editors Time: 08:30–10:30 Room: G15, HBS
Session chair: Desislava Dikova
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.

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.
