Research Symposium and Paper Development Workshop – Call for Papers
The annual meeting of AIB-Oceania is renowned for its informal and collegial character. Join us online on 4 November 2021, for the Annual Research Symposium and Paper Development Workshop. The event will be hosted by School of Marketing and International Business, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand.
The symposium will kick off at 10am, New Zealand time (GMT+12 hours). The programme will include insights from keynote speakers, interactive panel sessions, and research paper presentations. It will also be a great opportunity for online interaction and networking.
We now make the first call for papers. It is time to book the event in your calendar. This year’s theme is “Grand challenges, sustainability and international business”. There will be a panel discussion on the topic of “Enhancing IB research and teaching effectiveness” in addition to parallel paper presentation sessions. These sessions will be accompanied by networking sessions and the AGM for AIB Oceania members, and an asynchronous PDW.
Victoria University of Wellington will kindly sponsor some awards for: 1. The most interesting and innovative research ideas in submissions to the symposium; 2. Ideas that have the potential to benefit wider society and 3. Outstanding individual contributions to the symposium.
