The Campbell University Business School’s Master of Business Administration program is sponsoring a seminar on globalization and development of the world economy. Titled “Commanding Heights: The Battle for the World Economy,” the seminar is scheduled for Saturday, November 20, from 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. in Lynch Auditorium of the Lundy-Fetterman School of Business. Admission is free and the public is invited.

Tony Moyer, director of the North Carolina Japan Center, will be the featured speaker at the event. Moyer frequently advises agencies and employees of state government on dealings with the Japanese. He also served as a financial analyst with W.I. Carr, Sons, and Company in Tokyo. Through his experience, Moyer has gained intimate knowledge of the Japanese auto, machine tool, steel and shipbuilding industries. He also served as deputy general manager of the research department of SBCI Securities Ltd., the Asian commercial banking subsidiary of Swiss Bank Corporation.

Moyer holds a Bachelor of Arts in history from Loyola College in Baltimore and a Master of Arts and Master of Philosophy in East Asian Studies from Columbia University. He attended Stanford University’s Inter-University Center for Japanese Studies (then in Tokyo) and conducted history research at Tokyo University. In addition, Moyer has taught Japanese history at Manhattanville College in Purchase, NY, and Asian history and Japanese politics at North Carolina State University. He joined the North Carolina Japan Center in 1989.

A panel of economic scholars, including Moyer; Dr. Robert Subrick, research associate at the Iris Center, an internationally recognized source of research and advisory expertise at the University of Maryland; and Dr. Derek Yonai, assistant professor of business at Campbell, will discuss globalization and development of the world economy, whether free trade has a net advantage or disadvantage for the United States.

“This is another fine example of community outreach events available free of charge to the Campbell community and the public at large,” said Dr. Shahriar Mostashari, associate dean and director of the MBA program at Campbell. “We are delighted to present this excellent program.”

Developed from Campbell’s first Department of Business established in 1893, the Lundy-Fetterman School of Business was formally established in 1983. It offers undergraduate degrees in business administration, accounting, trust management, computer information systems, economics, international business, and golf management, as well as a Master of Business Administration and a Master of Trust and Investment Management. Reporting an enrollment of over 1,000 students, the Lundy-Fetterman School of Business is one of only 14 schools in the nation to have a golf management program approved by the PGA and the only school in the nation to offer Trust and Investment Management degree programs.
