China Week October 8 - 15, 2012 For program updates please go to the Confucius Institute website: www.uakron.edu/ci PH: 330-972-2013 Monday, October 8, 2012 5:00 – 6:40 pm Evening Keynote: There Be Dragons: China’s Rise – Risk and Opportunity Location: College of Business Administration Room 120 Presenter: Karl Schamotta Since Marco Polo's time, the West's perception of China has been composed of equal parts fantasy and reality. Nowhere is this dichotomy better captured than in the modern financial markets, where commodity prices, corporate valuations and exchange rates have been driven by the Chinese growth story for more than a decade. Join Karl Schamotta, Senior Market Strategist with Western Union Business Solutions as he discusses the often misunderstood aspects of China's impact on the global economy - and some of the long term implications. With a particular focus on the career opportunities that are being created for younger generations, he will provide insight into the fundamental realignments that are occurring within China - and in the West's understanding of it. Karl Schamotta, Senior Market Strategist for Western Union Business Solutions has designed and implemented risk management and trading strategies for hundreds of companies, ranging from small businesses to large corporations. As a member of the Business Solutions analytical team, Karl also provides market analysis and strategic guidance on a daily basis for thousands of international businesses. Karl is a regular contributor to a number of international treasury and finance magazines, and his market analyses and forecasts have appeared in publications as the Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg BusinessWeek, Reuters, CNN and CNBC.
