Each panelist will speak for approximately 15 minutes on the target audience of their journal, topics of particularinterest in the upcoming year, the review process, acceptance rates, and guidelines. The remaining time would be left forquestions and answers from the audience.Attendee Benefits: This type of panel is particularly valuable for newer colleagues, and an important component inrecruiting efforts. This panel will increase awareness of the many international business focused journals that are nottypically promoted at marketing, finance, management and other function-focused conferences. Discussing issues related totarget audience and guidelines will also improve acceptance rates among those already submitting articles. The “Meet theEditors” session will also promote collegiality and provide a networking opportunity among all members.Panelist Benefits: The editors work hard in developing and maintaining the reputation of their periodicals. This panel canbe used as one form of recognition. Interaction serves to increase respect for the editors’ work, and for those submittingarticles. Through clarification of publication ideals, the editors can reduce the incidence of receiving papers that are illsuitedto their journal, and perhaps emphasize the importance of proper format. They may get ideas for a new special issue,or some direction that they may wish to pursue on a regular basis.Academy Benefits: This panel will serve to strengthen the ties among members, both new and established. Strong ties leadto an active group, one committed to expanding AIB activities. If the organization is to grow, we must encourageparticipation. This is one method of encouragement for attendees and panelists alike.AIB 2003 - Monterey, California, USA July 5-8, 2003 13
