 nary Session I: Managing the New Global Economy\nGlobalization and technol
 ogy have brought closer the reality of borderless economies. But the exist
 ing global economic architecture is no longer adequate in smoothing the tr
 ansition toward greater global economic integration. Significant barriers 
 still exist particularly inside borders. On the other hand\, greater mobil
 ity of goods and resources across borders has led to unintended adverse co
 nsequences. The three panels in this plenary session discuss the parameter
 s in designing new governance mechanisms that would ensure the free flow o
 f goods\, services and capital while minimizing their potentially distrupt
 ive effects. \n\n\n\n\n1030 -1100\n\n\nManaging the New Global Economy Iss

  to the reality of borderless economies\, what new rules and disciplines a

  developing economies to benefit from this development? \nSession Chair:

 lding Blocs of the New Global Economy\nWhat is the link between the differ

 al market system? Current formal arrangements - APEC\, ASEM\, EU\, cross-A
 tlantic alliances\, and inter-American partnerships-which are based on geo
 graphic\, economic\, and political parameters\, must be supplemented by pa
 rtnerships across regions and continents. The search for a new global arch

 information revolution takes hold of the world\, it is important to begin

 ble.It has Action Programs\, which detail the steps to be taken in the for
 eseeable future\, leading up to 2010 and 2020. Both the vision and Action 
 Programs should now begin influencing the strategic management decisions o
 f corporations and institutions as they position themselves for the future
 . Schools of Management are expected to take the lead in helping corporati
 ons and institutions strategize in the more open\, liberalized environment
  of the Asia-Pacific region. They should be in the forefront of research t
 hat can guide businesses\, governments and social organizations in prepara
 tion for the inevitable changes of a more open\, interdependent future.\nC

 \, what new roles should regional organizations like APEC take on? What ma
 kes APEC unique among organizations of its kind is its avowed goal of full
 y engaging the business and private sector in its work program. How far ha
 s APEC gone in achieving this goal? As APEC gears itself to face the chall
 enge of the 21st century\, it becomes even more critical that this process
  of engagement be made more effective to ensure that it does not lose its 
 relevance.\n\n\n\n\n0830-0945\n\n\nSettling the New Regional Agenda As the
