Journal of International Business Studies First Quarter 1995 [antikvár]

ACADEMY OF INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS The Academy of International Business (AIB) is a worldwide organization with more than 2,400 individual members in more than fifty countries. The AIB was founded as the Association for Education in International Business (AEIB) in 1959 by a small group of professors in traditionally separate fields (such as finance and marketing) who shared a common interest in international business. The objectives of the Academy are: • to foster the exchange of information and ideas among professionals in academic, business, and government organizations who are concerned with international business education; • to encourage research that advances knowledge pertinent to international business; • to augment the available body of research and teaching materials. The Academy provides opportunities for the presentation of scholarly papers and the exchange of scholarly ideas by holding a general Annual Meeting and Regional Meetings at various worldwide locations selected by the Executive Board. Other AIB forums include the Journal of International Business Studies (JIBS), published jointly with the Western Business School - University of Western Ontario, and the AIB Newsletter. The Journal disseminates current and relevant findings from research in international busi- ness, and the Newsletter informs the members about ongoing research projects, employ- ment opportunities, curriculum developments, new publications, and other developments in the field. From time to time, the Academy publishes special surveys of developments in international business curricula and research. In addition, the Academy distributes information to other professional associations and agencies that are interested in interna- tional business. Membership in the Academy is open to persons in all countries who are interested in fos- tering education in international business and advancing professional standards in the field. The membership consists of teachers and researchers, as well as government offi- cials, business executives and consultants who are actively concerned with research and education in international business. Doctoral students are welcome as members. Annual dues are US $48; $35 for students. A subscription to the Journal of International Business Studies is included as an AIB membership benefit. The Journal goes to all of the individ- ual members plus 1300 institutional members - in total to about 150 countries. Address individual membership applications to: James R.
