Dear AIB colleagues and friends,

 

Ever consider making your time more worthwhile by changing stakeholder decisions and actions?

Have good ideas of defining and solving a significant problem that affects business, society, or environment?

Love to create more values from your day-to-day IB research and class-room activities?

 

If you do, please join the Mainstreaming Impact in International Business (MIIB) Initiative. Launched in August 2021, MIIB has conducted a successful pilot. We are now running the Mainstreaming Impact in International Business Virtual Lecture Series (MIIB VLS) in 2022.

 

The MIIB VLS will

• enable you to make more out of your existing workload,
• build your scholarly reputation as impact champion,
• help your institution embed Sustainable Development into curriculums and raise its ranking, and
• cause demonstrable change in stakeholders!

 

To know more about MIIB virtual lectures, see “How do International Business scholars generate impact? The pioneering Mainstreaming Impact in International Business Virtual Lecture Series”.

 

Please email to subscribe to MIIB Lectures in March, April, May, June, and July 2022.

 

The MIIB VLS is only the first set of the events of MIIB. More on IB’s impact will follow. Stay tuned!

 

Make IB impactful. Lead a positive change.

 

 

 

Kind regards,

Elizabeth

Dear AIB colleagues and friends,

 

Are you concerned with a significant problem that affects business, society, or environment?

 

Do you have insights into its potential solutions and how IB knowledge and research offers answers?

 

Would you like to bring the problem, solutions, and evidence to wider international audience?

 

If your answer is yes, join our AIB’s initiative, Mainstreaming Impact in International Business (MIIB)! The link contains its description.

 

An MIIB pilot is underway, with the support of several brilliant scholars in developing MIIB lectures this year. More will follow in 2022. Watch out for our updates.

 

If you would like to bring in your student audience, give an MIIB lecture yourself, or to learn more, please get in touch (email Dr Elizabeth Yi Wang at [log in to unmask]). All participants shall be recognized for their contribution, for making an impact!

 

Join us. Make IB impactful. Lead a positive change.
