DURHAM, N.H. -- Globalization can mean many things to many people, but from an economic
perspective, what does it mean for the New Hampshire economy and to UNH students? New
Hampshire Gov. John Lynch will join Ross Gittell, James R. Carter Professor and professor of
management at the University of New Hampshire, to discuss the opportunities and challenges
of globalization in the state Thursday, Feb. 16, 2006.
“Globalization and What it Means for the New Hampshire Economy” will be held from 11 a.m.
to 12:15 p.m. in the Squamscott Room of Holloway Commons.
“We live in a global economy, and we must make sure that New Hampshire workers and
businesses have the tools they need to compete across the world,” Lynch said.
The event is part of a year-long program about globalization, “University Dialogue: Where in
the World is UNH?” Representing the Whittemore School of Business and Economics, Gittell is
among several faculty members who contributed research papers on an aspect of
globalization. His paper is available at http://www.unh.edu/academic-
affairs/discovery/gittell.pdf.
“The well-being and future prospects of all NH citizens depend significantly on the state’s
positioning in the global economy. The state has done relatively well in the global economy.

possible and the flow of investment capital to nations that offer the greatest economic
