<strong>AIB</strong> President’s Letter<br />
A warm welcome to the <strong>2009</strong> Annual Meeting <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Academy</strong> <strong>of</strong> International Business.<br />
As we prepare for the conference, the world is holding its breath, is the world economy<br />
moving away from the brink, toward recovery? Is globalization as an objective economic<br />
phenomenon, and as a social and political awareness, and acceptance, going to recover?<br />
World trade receded deeper and faster than at any time since the Great Depression.<br />
Unemployment increases faster than ever in the developed world. Developing countries<br />
will suffer deep and long lasting impacts from foreign investor deserting<br />
them. Once iconic global companies, GM the most visible, are going into<br />
bankruptcy, the future <strong>of</strong> their international operations much in doubt. A<br />
few countries go bankrupt, others will see their economic, financial, and<br />
monetary policies hobbled for decades.<br />
Disturbing as the current situation is, there is perhaps no better, nor<br />
more poignant time to address the theme <strong>of</strong> our conference: Is the world<br />
flat, or spiky? Of course, much <strong>of</strong> the research work we will share at the<br />
conference, and around which we will dialogue and debate, precedes the<br />
dramatic unfolding <strong>of</strong> the past year. Yet, more than ever what we witness<br />
is that “he who forgets the errors <strong>of</strong> the past is bound to repeat them”.<br />
The IB field can learn from the past, and anticipate the future: global<br />
challenges, obvious and perhaps less obvious areas: climate change,<br />
water and food shortages, new demographics, new global integration<br />
tools and communication technologies… and all their implications for<br />
multinational companies.<br />
The <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> Sheraton Hotel & Marina provides an attractive and<br />
convenient venue for our conference—and we are deeply grateful to<br />
our host, the College <strong>of</strong> Business Administration at <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> State<br />
University.<br />
This year we want, in particular to celebrate the 40 th anniversary <strong>of</strong><br />
the Journal for International Business Studies (JIBS), the journal <strong>of</strong> the<br />
<strong>Academy</strong> <strong>of</strong> International Business. Thanks to outstanding editors, Arie<br />
Lewin and Lorraine Eden in particular, JIBS has become one <strong>of</strong> the top<br />
tier academic journals in business studies and contributes to establish IB<br />
as a strong academic field. In particular we will give awards to the most<br />
significant contributors to JIBS, those who published seminal articles<br />
before the current “Decade Award” was established.<br />
A word <strong>of</strong> special gratitude and recognition goes to Torben Petersen and<br />
his track chairs, who have put together an outstanding program, and to<br />
the organizers <strong>of</strong> preconference consortia, workshops, and other events.<br />
We are also delighted to thank the sponsors <strong>of</strong> our <strong>2009</strong> Annual Meeting:<br />
• The President’s Leadership Fund at <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> State University<br />
• <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> State University CIBER<br />
• Copenhagen Business School<br />
• The Sheth Foundation<br />
• Palgrave Macmillan<br />
• Michigan State University CIBER<br />
• University <strong>of</strong> South Carolina CIBER<br />
• Indiana University CIBER<br />
• Texas A&M University CIBER<br />
• Boeing Institute <strong>of</strong> International Business, Saint Louis University<br />
• College <strong>of</strong> Business Administration at University <strong>of</strong> Missouri-Saint Louis<br />
• Schulich School <strong>of</strong> Business, York University<br />
We are looking forward to challenging and stimulating exchanges, and<br />
to insightful conversations, in these “interesting times”. There is no better<br />
time for IB researchers to consider what they can contribute to the world<br />
economy and policy.<br />
