*MBR/IB Paper Development Workshop* *Sponsored by Multinational Business Review (MBR) and Academy of International Business (AIB), Asia Pacific Chapter* Academy of International Business (AIB) Special Theme Conference Sustainable Development and International Competitiveness of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises in the Post COVID-19 Era *Date: 10-11 June, 2023, China Time (UTC + 8)* *Location: University of Nottingham Ningbo China* https://www.nottingham.edu.cn/en/conferences/aib-special-theme-conference/home.aspx *Submission deadline:** 20 May 2023* The MBR/IB Paper Development Workshop (PDW) will be held as part of AIB Special Theme Conference 2023 at the University of Nottingham Ningbo China ( https://www.nottingham.edu.cn/en/business/). The PDW is organized by Prof. Liang Wang (University of San Francisco), Prof. Tazeeb Rajwani (MBR editor in chief, University of Surrey), Prof. JT Li (Hong Kong University of Science and Technology), Prof. Jeremy Clegg (University of Leeds), and Prof. Dongdong Huang (Naikai University). The purpose of the PDW is to provide scholars with developmental feedback on their current research projects in International Business, and publication opportunities with *Multinational Business Review* (5-year Impact Factor 2021, 3.469) that publishes high-quality research on the nature and impact of the multinational enterprise (MNE) and the evolution of international business strategies. Authors will be paired with senior IB scholars for discussions on their papers (in-person or online). The high-quality full papers participated in the PDW, if submitted to MBR, will receive a fast track review (albeit no guarantee of publication). We invite original IB papers from doctoral students or faculty members who are interested in receiving developmental feedback from senior IB scholars with significant editorial experiences. We particularly encourage papers from scholars (1) who are located at universities that offer limited support for international business research, or (2) who are trained in disciplines less commonly associated with the IB field (e.g., human geography, political science, or economic history) but interested in conducting IB research. We hope that many of these papers will be submitted to MBR or other mainstream IB journals.
