This is the main showcase for those working in international business and international management to present and discuss their latest work within the United Kingdom and Ireland. Conceptual, qualitative and quantitative contributions addressing issues of, for example, international management and organization, and the newer internationalising firm are new foci reflected in our theme this year, but the themes and streams are driven by the contributions which can come from the entire range of international business and international management interest. The developmental philosophy is reflected in the highly successful doctoral workshop (http://www.business-school.ed.ac.uk/aib2011/doctoral-colloquium) and training activities appended to and integrated within the conference. Doctoral students are able to have their work considered by a panel of top scholars. The training sessions now represent a valuable training event for our doctoral students and a great assistance for their supervisors.
