In collaboration with the Academy of International Business Research Methodologies Special Interest Group (RM-SIG), the Department of Strategy and International
Business at The Birmingham Business School (BBS) is hosting an Annual Strategy and International Business Symposium (ASIBS) on

The aim of the event is to advance the understanding of various emerging topics within the international business and strategy as well as the quality and
diversity of research methodologies applied within those areas. By doing so, it is hoped that the event will help and guide both PhD students and junior academics with their process of planning and undertaking innovative and rigorous research in order to advance
knowledge as well as enhance professional standards in those fields.
