The Academy of International Business is organizing a Junior Faculty Consortium, which will be held on Monday, June 27, 2016 from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm, at the AIB Annual Meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana.
All junior faculty active in research and teaching in international business and strategy are invited to participate, although preference will be given to those who have been involved in teaching and/or research in international business and strategy for no more than three years.
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 roundtable 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.
The faculty panel for the Junior Faculty Consortium includes distinguished international business scholars with extensive publication records and experience (the list will be finalized and posted here soon).
