Call for Editor-in-Chief: IBRTP The Academy of International Business Southeast (AIB-SE) USA is looking for a new editor for its journal, International Business: Research, Teaching and Practice. AIB-SE is among the two biggest and most active regional chapters of the Academy of International Business (among AIB’s 16 regional chapters around the world) and holds annual conferences with a doctoral student consortium, journal paper development workshop, competitive and interactive papers session, panels and a variety of social networking events. Last year’s conference, which was held on the campus of Rollins College in Orlando, Florida, was attended by scholars from 25 countries representing 6 continents. Since 2007, the journal has published “best papers” of the AIB-SE annual conferences as well as externally submitted articles. It is listed in Google Scholar and Cabell’s directory and has an acceptance rate between 17-22% (around 19% in 2011) The journal has traditionally published one volume per year. However, in the last two years, it has increased it to two per year partly through commissioned Special Issues.

IBRTP articles contribute not only to theory development and testing, but also to the practice and pedagogy of the field. IBRTP has made progress under its previous and current editors, associate editors, and editorial board, and the incoming editor is expected to build on their experiences and talents, and collaborate with those who want to add value. The Board of AIB-SE would welcome nominations as well as applications for the editorship of the journal.
