The Academy of International Business will offer a consortium for doctoral students on Friday, November 17 at the 2000 AIB Annual Meeting in Phoenix, Arizona. Ravi Ramamurti of Northeastern University is organizing the consortium. A number of leading international business researchers will serve as speakers for the event.
These faculty will also present their interpretation of important and emerging research areas in international business and lead discussions on several topics. The emphasis will be placed on issue-oriented research which may transcend traditional functional boundaries.
Selection of students should be made carefully by the nominating school. The candidates must be nominated by a faculty member who should write a letter stating the student's interests and abilities.
Preference is given to doctoral candidates who have finished the equivalent of doctoral examinations but who have not yet completed the bulk of their dissertation work. Since the number of participants will be capped at 20, selection criteria will be focused on quality, as well as on achieving diversity in disciplinary and interdisciplinary orientations. The Academy of International Business will provide $500 travel stipends to those students that are unable to find funding elsewhere and apply for a stipend. Stipends will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
Please send two copies of the letter (including the contact person's e-mail address) and supporting material (which includes a 300 word- maximum abstract of the student's current research topic) by June 25, 2000 to:
