The Academy of International Business is organizing a Junior Faculty Consortium to be held on Friday, November 16. All faculty active in research and teaching in international business are invited to participate, although preference will be given to scholars who have been teaching international business for less than four years.

We will engage in a discussion about scholarship and careers in international business. In addition, this venue will provide an excellent opportunity for participants to meet and interact with colleagues at similar stages in their careers.

The consortium will be led by a group of senior and junior faculty members including:

Preet S. Aulakh - Temple University
Jay Barney - Ohio State University
Robert E. Hoskisson - University of Oklahoma
Chuck Kwok - University of South Carolina
Stefanie Lenway - University of Minnesota
Matt Myers - University of Tennessee

The speakers 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 issues-oriented research beyond functional boundaries, although the faculty have training in a broad range of functional areas and expertise.

To apply, please send a letter stating your interest in attending by September 1, 2001 (please include an e-mail address in your correspondence). In addition to your letter, please include the following information on one page:

1) A one-paragraph biography to provide others with a description of your academic background.
