2011logo-header.pngAIB 2011 Annual Meeting Junior Faculty Consortium June 25, 2011 - Nagoya, Japan Sponsored by Boeing Institute of International Business, Saint Louis University Application Deadline: February 28, 2011 (extended) The Academy of International Business is organizing a Junior Faculty Consortium, which will be held on Saturday, June 25, 2011 from 8:00 am to 4 pm. All junior faculty active in research and teaching in international business are invited to participate, although preference will be given to those who have been involved in international business teaching and/or research for no more than three years. The 2011 consortium is being organized by Srilata Zaheer (Carlson School of Management, University of Minnesota). The consortium is being structured to provide lots of opportunities for interaction between junior faculty and senior scholars on the faculty panel, and among junior faculty present in a round table format. There will also be an opportunity for junior faculty to discuss their research programs or specific research projects, with other junior and senior faculty members in small groups. We are also fortunate to have James Mirrlees, 1996 Nobel Laureate in Economics, presenting on "What I thought when I was a doctoral student/junior faculty member," "How I developed my path-breaking ideas," and "What I did when I was stuck," which will be a great learning experience for all participants. The faculty panel for the Junior Faculty Consortium includes several distinguished scholars from around the world (in alphabetical order): Srilata Zaheer, University of Minnesota, USA (Chair) Christian Asmussen, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark Jay Barney, Ohio State University, USA Susan Freeman, University of Adelaide, Australia Klaus Meyer, University of Bath, UK Tom Murtha, Michigan State University, USA Cheryl Nakata, University of Illinois at Chicago, USA Alan Rugman, University of Reading, UK Jane Salk, University of Texas-Dallas, USA Sushil Vachani, Boston University, USA Tentative Program (subject to change) Saturday, June 25, 2011 8:00-8:15 Welcome and Introductions 8:15-9:00 Round tables/Q&A on Teaching 9:00-9:45 Round tables/Q&A on Career Issues 9:45-10:00 Coffee Break 10:00-11:30 Round tables discuss junior faculty members’ research 11:30-12:30 Open forum/Q&A on Research and Publishing 12:30-13:30 Lunch 13:30-14:40 Meet with a Nobel Laureate (jointly with Doctoral Consortium) 14:40-15:00 Coffee Break 15:00-16:00 : Meet the Editors (jointly with Doctoral Consortium) Submission Requirements: Please note that space in the program is limited to guarantee the desired level of interaction and learning.
