- To encourage the exploration
of emerging research ideas in an innovative environment, free from the
constraints of traditional conference formats
- To facilitate open discourse
- To legitimize the exploration
of new research domains
- To redirect or shut down
outmoded themes
- To build a community of
international research scholars across both the social sciences and the
functional areas of international business
The invited conference participants represent a broad cross-section of international
scholarship; they range from advanced doctoral students to senior faculty and
also include leading thinkers from the world of practice. At least half of the
participants each year will be new to the conference, counteracting lock-in and
ensuring the exploration of fresh ideas. The JIBS editorial team shall attend
each conference; the aim is to maximize their sensitivity and appreciation of
emerging research themes. The opening session at the 2003 conference will feature
a keynote address by Professor Robert Keohane of Duke
University, on the theme of Democracy of Capital and Globalization.
