[cid:4D31EAC5-0B9B-4CFE-9290-85D88308CDC7] The Inaugural AIB Sustainability Shared Interest Group PhD and Early Career Researchers Symposium Aims of the symposium Sustainability has recently become a top priority for international business (IB) practitioners and researchers alike. In 2021 alone, the Journal of International Business Studies (JIBS), for example, has published articles on corporate social responsibility (e.g., Brandl et al., 2021), the sharing economy (e.g., Kozlenkova et al., 2021), the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (e.g., Montiel et al., 2021), renewable energy (e.g., Georgallis, Albino-Pimentel, & Kondratenko, 2021; Hartmann, Inkpen, & Ramaswamy, 2021), carbon pricing for MNEs (e.g., Nippa, Patnaik, & Taussig, 2021), and sustainability in emerging markets (e.g., Parente et al., 2021). In the same year, JIBS has called for paper submissions to a Special Issue on “The Global Scope of Corporate Social Responsibility”. This wide range of topics, the cross-disciplinary nature, and linkages to generic topics of IB research have finally found a home in the Sustainability Shared Interest Group (SIG) of the Academy of International Business (AIB). Since its official launch in 2020, the AIB Sustainability SIG has concentrated its efforts in providing a platform for IB researchers. While the sustainability topic is relevant and appealing to researchers of all academic standing, there is a particularly heightened interest among PhD and early career researchers. The Sustainability SIG would thus like to organize the first ever symposium for current PhD and early career (within 3 years) researchers to provide a platform for discussion, exchange, and feedback for the doctoral student community interested in sustainability and IB. We thus invite abstract submissions for the first AIB sustainability SIG doctoral symposium. The event includes (1) a panel discussion with Q&A, (2) a breakout room session for participants who are grouped based on topic relevance to share and discuss their research. The event will take place on 13 December, 8am-10am, Eastern Standard Time. The event will be online and free of charge to current AIB members. To take part in the AIB sustainability SIG symposium, please submit an extended Abstract (maximum 500 words, excluding references) of your current research project focused on sustainability, by 5 December 2021. Topics can fall into research fields such as the UN’s Sustainability Development Goals in IB, sustainability in emerging economics, circular and sharing economy, sustainability issues related to innovation, and the global value chain as well as other topics on sustainability in international business research. Abstracts should be submitted to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Notifications for participation will be sent out by 8 December, 2021. The symposium will take place virtually. Questions can be directed to Martin Heinberg ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>), Hai-Tao Yu ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>), and Shasha Zhao ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>).

His goal is to help business identify and adopt practices that meet its needs while mitigating negative externalities and increasing positive externalities to sustain the planet that sustains humans. Junghoon investigates mechanisms through which firms respond differently to grand challenges society faces—such as climate change and human health—and how they can better manage their social and environmental impacts. He also examines how corporate sustainability strategies can advance progress toward the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. His research has appeared in Journal of International Business Studies (JIBS) and leading global academic conferences. References Brandl, K., Moore, E., Meyer, C. et al.
