*AIB-LAT Doctoral Student Consortium*

*January 22, 2015*

Chair: *Santiago Mingo, Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez*



On January 22, 2015, the Academy of International Business, Latin American
Chapter, will host a Doctoral Student Consortium as part of the AIB-LAT
Annual Meeting in Santiago, Chile (for more information about the
conference go to www.aiblat2015.com). The Consortium is intended for
doctoral students interested in Latin American affairs who wish to develop
and expand their research skills, enhance their particular research agenda,
and network with like-minded students and academics in their field of
study. The Consortium will facilitate constructive and supportive
discussions between and among doctoral students and faculty members on a
wide array of topics including but not limited to: conducting research in
international business and Latin America, writing and completing successful
dissertations, and transitioning into an academic career. The Consortium
will also provide feedback and commentary to those students whose research
and dissertations are in progress.



The Consortium’s Committee is seeking candidates who are Ph.D. students in
international business (or a related field dealing with Latin American
issues). While candidates in the dissertation phase of their Ph.D. programs
are preferred, all candidates will be considered. In order to stimulate the
exchange of ideas and provide the greatest level of commentary and guidance
to students, the committee will restrict the number of participants.



The 2015 Doctoral Student Consortium faculty panel will feature a diverse
group of distinguished and rising international business scholars who
together boast a strong record of publications in top academic journals.
The panel members have received numerous research awards, supervised
doctoral students, and worked as editors or are members of editorial boards
for top academic journals. (Note: addendums and changes are possible).
