As the organisers of the JOINT 44th Academy of International Business (UK&Ireland Chapter) Conference and 6th Reading International Business Conference, we are pleased to invite you to join us on 6-8 April 2017 at Henley Business School, University of Reading. The theme for the conference is - Contemporary Issues in International Business: Are we seeing the tail-end of globalization?
The merged conference will combine the best elements of both conferences. We will maintain the tradition of the AIB-UKI conferences by offering a doctoral consortium. We also seek to encourage a broader variety of papers to the parallel sessions. At the same time, we intend to maintain the Reading tradition of open-ended debates and interactive plenary sessions.
Unlike the
previous AIB-UK&I meetings, this conference hosted by the John H. Dunning Centre for
International Business will begin in the
afternoon of the 6th April 2017 with the Doctoral Colloquium,
the Conference Welcome and Opening Plenary at 5.30 pm. It will
close by 5pm on the 8th April 2017.
Conference registration and
submission of papers opens 1 November 2016
Submission for Main Conference deadline 9 December 2016
Submission for Doctoral Colloquium and panel proposals
deadline 24 January
2017
Confirmation of paper acceptances 15 February 2017
Early-bird registration ends 1 March 2017
Publication of the conference programme 8 March 2017
Conference registration closing date 24 March 2017
The Main Conference will host both competitive
papers and posters. The poster session is reserved to papers that
are at an early stage of development. During the submission
process, authors will be asked to choose whether their paper is to
be considered for a competitive or for a poster session. Accepted
papers will ultimately be allocated to either types of sessions
after considering suggestions of referees.
In order to maximize participation to the Conference, we may have
to restrict the number of papers from the same authors to a
maximum of three.
Papers submitted to the Main Conference cannot be submitted also to the
Doctoral Colloquium.
Proposals for special tracks and panel sessions are welcome and
should be sent to [log in to unmask],
