Thank you in advance, Keith. Keith Kelley Instructor/Doctoral Candidate Dept. Management and Int'l Business Florida International University [log in to unmask] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear AIB Members, Due to multiple inquiries, and small technical issue with the submission process server, we have extended the deadline for submission of abstracts to the AIB-LAT Conference until December 15, 2011. Please see the call for papers below for more details and submission guidelines. **Deadline for Submission of Abstracts Extended until December 15, 2011** AIB-LAT Conference 2012 Internationalization, Innovation and Sustainability of MNCs in Latin America Miami, Florida - April 20-21, 2012 AIB Members, We would like to invite you to submit your work to our next AIB Latin America (AIB-LAT) Conference, to take place in Miami, Florida on April 20-21, 2012. As global and regional integration move forward, it has become imperative for firms to be simultaneously innovative and sustainable when setting up operations in new countries and markets. Innovation and sustainability have become imperative to success: MNCs need to constantly innovate with better processes, technologies, products, and ideas and also match, in a long-term perspective, the markets, institutions, economies, stakeholders and societies that they reach. In this line, the Latin American Chapter of the Academy of International Business is pleased to announce that the conference "Internationalization, Innovation and Sustainability of MNCs in Latin America" will be held in Miami at Florida International University on April 20-21, 2012. This year's AIB-LAT conference aims to promote the best and latest research findings and theoretical developments in the field of Internationalization, Innovation and Sustainability of MNCs in the region. We expect to answer some critical questions that IB academics and practitioners are dealing with today: What is the relation between IB, innovation, and sustainability? What are the main forces shaping these perspectives? How can MNCs be innovative and sustainable at the same time, and operate successfully in the varying contexts that they reach? How can MNCs respond to the growing needs of the regional markets through innovative processes, products and services?... We cordially invite you to share your experience in this field of research, by submitting empirical and conceptual papers explicitly or implicitly related to the theme of the conference. While the theme focuses on Latin America, we welcome papers from other emerging markets to allow for a comparative perspective. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Abstract Submission: We invite abstracts describing papers or panels that you intend to present at the AIB-LAT Annual Meeting in 2012. Paper presentation abstracts should be between 500 and 800 words. For paper abstracts, please do not include personal identifying information in the abstract. This information (e.g., name of author(s), email address, institution, mailing address, etc.) will be entered separately in the paper review system. All paper abstracts will be subject to a double blind peer review process. The abstract submissions for panel presentations should include the following: title of the panel, names of panelists, institutions, a 500-800 word abstract describing the overall panel objective(s), and a 500-800 word abstract for each paper or presentation included in the symposium. Panel proposals will be subject to a single blind peer review process since a portion of the decision process will relate to the qualifications of the panelists.
