Letter from the Program ChairDear Colleagues,Welcome to Indianapolis and the 2007 Annual Meeting of the Academy of InternationalBusiness!We have designed a program that I am sure you will find intellectually challenging, andprofessionally rewarding, centered on the theme of “Bringing the Country Back In: TheImportance of Local Knowledge in a Global Economy”. The program is comprised of 29panels, 85 competitive paper sessions, and 3 interactive poster presentation sessions.As this program goes to press we have some 700 registrations, and more than one thousandpeople from 40 countries will make a contribution as authors, panelists, presenters, session chairs,faculty consortium organizers and track chairs.Indianapolis is a cosmopolitan city in the heartland of the United States that is experiencing adynamic renaissance and offers a venue that is very symbolically suited for this year’s theme ofThe Importance of Local Knowledge in a Global Economy. Many of our sessions will explorethe many different angles of how to transcend the tensions between globalization and localcommunities.Among the highlights of the program for the coming several days:Monday, June 25 th – A full day of professional activities with:• The Doctoral Consortium chaired by Lena Zander (Stockholm School of Economics).• The Junior Faculty Consortium, chaired by Srilata Zaheer (University of Minnesota), is beingstructured to provide many opportunities for interaction between junior faculty and seniorscholars on the faculty panel.• Building on the great success of the 2004 inaugural workshop in Stockholm, the AIB-JIBSPaper Development Workshop has become a staple of the AIB conferences. As always, ArieLewin (Duke University) will co-chair the session with Tatiana Kostova (University of SouthCarolina) and the session will be structured in nine parallel tracks representing the nineeditorial areas of JIBS.• The formal program begins on Monday with the Welcome Remarks and AIB Fellows’Opening Plenary Honoring Douglass C. North who was the co-recipient of the 1993Nobel Prize in Economics and concentrated his lifelong research to further the conceptsof institutional change and economic climates. This will be followed by the PresidentialReception in the Grand 1-2-3 Ballrooms at the Westin Hotel.Tuesday, June 26 th• We will start the day on an exuberant note with a Fellow’s Panel on “The Value of LocalKnowledge in International Business” to be chaired by Oded Shenkar with panelists: Mary AnnVon Glinow, Rosalie L. Tung, Alan M. Rugman, John Cantwell and Masaaki Kotabe.• Competitive paper sessions and panels start at 9:50am and among the many attractivesessions are a WAIB Special Session on “Gender, Geography, and Leadership in InternationalBusiness” and an AJBS Special Session on “”Perspectives on Japanese Business” Best PaperFinalists”.• Interactive poster sessions and light lunch will come together from 12:30-13:45.• The female gender again takes the spotlight in another WAIB Special Session titled “FourDeans Tell It Like It Is” which is certainly going to bring a special perspective to that theme.• The Keynote Address is scheduled for Tuesday from 15:30 to 17:00 and will be given byJames T. Morris, Executive Director, United Nations World Food Programme which willaddress the many concerns of the world community.AIB 2007 Annual Conference Indianapolis, USA June 25-28

Wednesday, June 27 th• The day begins with its usual provocative panels and competitive sessions at 8:10am leading into the Interactivesessions at 12:30pm.• One session of note to consider is “Emerging Scholars in Australia and New Zealand” a panel organized by ANZIBAthat usually showcases the talent found in this part of the world.• Another highlight of Wednesday is a panel convened by our sponsors from Deloitte in a special session titled“Priming for M&A Success in a Foreign Market—China” which will be addressed from a pragmatic perspectiveby those who work and function in that environment/country.• One of the most anticipated and exciting events of any conference is the gala event. This year’s Gala Event at theEiteljorg Museum from 19:00-22:00 will showcase the art of the American Indians and you will immerse yourselfin the history and cultures of the American West and Native Americans while enjoying the company of your fellowparticipants.Thursday, June 28 th• Thursday sessions begin at 8:10am.• One special session will excitedly bring together the finalists for the 2007 Richard N. Farmer Dissertation AwardPresentations from 8:10-9:25am.• Another special session scheduled for 9:50-11:05am that should undoubtedly attract some attention is TheUNCTAD World Investment Report (WIR) whose theme “Emergent Trends in International Business andDevelopment” is always a critical focus for so many.• Two Plenary award presentations are saved for the last and generate much interest. Those are The JIBS DecadeAward Presentation which will be presented from 13:45-15:00pm and will recognize the most influentialpaper published in the 1997 volume of the Journal of International Business Studies followed by The AIB AwardsCeremony and Business Meeting from 15:30-17:00pm at which time several recognitions will be announced.• Culminating the entire program event will be the JIBS Decade Award Reception and Farewell Party where theonly expectation is to celebrate and bid your fond farewells to your fellow participants.As you can see by this very full agenda we are hoping to make this year’s program one of the most exciting.Among the giant team of volunteers I would like to thank particularly: nine of the most dedicated and hardestworking Track Chairs in many years whose unfailing contribution of their time will contribute to the overall successof the program: Karl J. Moore, Timothy M. Devinney, Raj Aggarwal, Hemant Merchant, Stephen B. Tallman, Shaker A.Zahra, Rabi S. Bhagat, Ahmet H. Kirca and Mona Makhij; the pre-conference organizers Lena Zander, Srilata Zaheer,Arie Lewin and Tatiana Kostova, and over one thousand plus reviewers and session chairs. My fellow Executive Boardmembers who met in Indianapolis in March despite cold and blizzard conditions to check out the venue: Tomas Hult,John Cantwell, Susan Feinberg, Stefanie Ann Lenway, and Alan Rugman. The local organizing committee guided byMarjorie Lyles and Florence May who so carefully prepared conference events and invited local speakers in additionto worrying about sponsorship. The AIB Fellows for organizing the various panels. This conference would never havetaken place without the full dedication and unparalled support of Tunga Kiyak and his team at the AIB Secretariat,and of my assistant, Steve Stenner, who helped us put the program together. All worked very long hours, showingunflagging commitment.I hope you will agree that, besides a being fun and practical venue for AIB 2007, Indianapolis is ideally situated andstructured to further study the notion of The Importance of Local Knowledge in a Global Economy. Enjoy theconference!Oded Shenkar2007 AIB Program Chair AIB 2007 Annual Conference Indianapolis, USA June 25-28

Keynote SpeakerSession 1.6, June 26, 15:30-17:00, Capitol II-IIIJames T. MorrisExecutive Director, United National World Food ProgrammeJames T. Morris became the tenth Executive Director of the United Nations WorldFood Programme at the beginning of April 2002 and retired from that position inApril 2007.As leader of WFP, Mr. Morris oversaw the world’s largest food aid organization,which in 2005 fed 97 million people in 82 countries with contributions totalingUS$2.8 billion. WFP reaches out to hungry people who cannot help themselves -victims of war and natural disasters, families affected by HIV/AIDS and orphans whohave lost their parents to the pandemic, and school children in poor communities.As Executive Director, he visited all WFP’s major operations around the world—the tsunami region, the Pakistan earthquake region, Niger, Darfur, southern Africaand DPRK. Traveling to most of the 80 countries where WFP is operational, he metstaff and beneficiaries as well as government and NGO partners. At the same time Mr.Morris met with presidents and prime ministers in both the developing and developed world todiscuss ways of reducing hunger. Besides his role as the UN Secretary General’s Special Envoyto southern Africa, he addressed numerous international meetings, including the UN SecurityCouncil, while continuing his tireless campaign on behalf of the hungry poor.The World Food Programme is the largest program of the United Nations and the largesthumanitarian agency in the world. It has more than 10,000 staff members, 90 percent of whomwork in the developing world. Every day, WFP has 20 aircraft in the sky, 40 ships on the seas andhundreds of trucks bringing food to those in need. In Iraq, WFP mounted the biggest operationever undertaken — to provide food aid to the entire population — some 27 million people. WFPestablished a food pipeline of over 1,000 tons per hour, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Theagency continued to surpass previous achievements — for example in the Pakistan earthquakeoperation, WFP conducted, jointly with UN Humanitarian Air Services and the UN Joint LogisticsCentre, the biggest helicopter operation in its history, deploying a fleet comprising 14 MI-8, twoMI-26 and two KA30 helicopters. Under his leadership, WFP successfully cut levels of malnutritionin half among North Korean children and brought much-needed aid to victims of violence inDarfur, Angola, northern Uganda and Lebanon.For over 36 years, Mr. Morris has combined a distinguished career with a personal life ofpublic service. His leadership in business, humanitarian, and philanthropic activities has alwaysreflected a commitment to giving something back to his city, his country, and the internationalcommunity by improving the lives of others, with a special interest in young people at risk.After serving six years in city government in Indianapolis, Indiana, primarily as chief of stafffor Mayor Richard Lugar, Mr. Morris moved to the Lilly Endowment, Inc., one of the world’s largestcharitable foundations. Mr. Morris ultimately was named president, and served in that role for sixyears.Mr. Morris then became chairman and chief executive officer of IWC Resources Corporationand Indianapolis Water Company. Under his leadership, IWC grew to a multi-million dollar holdingcompany. He focused on employee development through recognition programs, diversification,human relations and educational opportunities. The company experienced substantial growth inboth regulated and unregulated areas.While serving in these leadership roles and on several corporate boards, Mr. Morris wasaffiliated with the United States Olympic Committee both as treasurer and chairman of the auditand ethics committee. He was also chairman of the NCAA Foundation, a member of the Board ofGovernors of the American Red Cross, and chairman of the Board of Trustees of Indiana University.Mr. Morris earned his BA in Political Science from Indiana University and an MBA from ButlerUniversity.

Call for PapersAIB Annual MeetingMilan, ItalyJune 30 th -July 3 rd , 2008Conference Theme: Knowledge Development andExchange in International Business NetworksProgram Chair: John Cantwell, Rutgers UniversitySubmission deadline: January 15 th , 2008Until quite recently, research on internationalbusiness was mainly about the multinationalcorporation (MNC), as a firm. An early focus in theinternational business field was on why previouslypurely national firms established subsidiaries abroad,and thus became MNCs. Subsequently, this ledinternational business researchers to concentrateon the theoretical question ‘why does the MNCexist?’. To answer this question more readily, aclear and sharp distinction was drawn betweenthe apparently purely hierarchical coordinationof economic activity within the firm (by the MNC,across national boundaries), and the apparentlypurely non-hierarchical coordination of activitybetween firms or between firms and other actors,at arm’s length through market relationships. Morerecently, attention shifted to the role of the MNC asa continuous creator of knowledge, both at homeand in its foreign operations. Partly as a result ofthis work on international networks for knowledgecreation or innovation, it has become apparent thatsuch international business networks frequentlyneed to be comprised and to connect both internalMNC networks (usually, across national borders) andvarious kinds of inter-firm networks (often withinsome local or regional geographical area).A key theme of the conference is to shed furtherlight on both intra-firm and inter-firm networks forknowledge development and exchange, and thesometimes complex and potentially conflictualrelationships between such intra-MNC and inter-firmknowledge networks. This theme relates to quite awide variety of issues. One issue is the emergenceand gradual spread of a wider range of local internalsubsidiary creativity, and how this affects therelative roles of knowledge exchange within theMNC’s own international network, and exchangewith other actors in the subsidiary’s local network.In the case of the MNC’s own international networkthis may include managing the challenges posedby the cross-country coordination of knowledgecreation and exchange, as well as those raised by anincreased potential for inter-subsidiary competitionfor mandates. Another issue is the rise of socalledvertical specialization in some industries,with its implied shift towards inter-firm networkrelationships, and whether this has been associatedwith a decline in the unitary pyramid-like structureof organizational hierarchy in the coordination ofactivity in the MNC. A further related issue is therole of entrepreneurial flagship firms in initiatingand crafting market-based inter-firm networks (ofsubcontractors, suppliers and distributors), and notjust in planning and coordinating economic activitywithin the auspices of the firm itself considered inisolation.A further set of issues refer to the changingnature of knowledge creation and exchange assuch. These include the increasing complexity andinterdisciplinarity (cross-field character) of systemsfor knowledge creation, and the implications forthe more intensive business-to-business crosslicensingof knowledge as a necessary complementof internal knowledge creation within the MNC.With respect to the MNC’s own activity there is aninterest in the increasing role of knowledge-seekingand competence-creating knowledge search orexploration activities as a goal in internationalizationprocesses. These issues are surely not confined toMNCs in manufacturing industry, but include (amongothers) those in knowledge-intensive services suchas banking. Contributions that address these issuesare especially encouraged as submissions for theconference.84 AIB 2007 Annual Conference Indianapolis, USA June 25-28

Our city’sprominence in education and researchcreates the perfect context for theevent. There are 7 universities in Milan,with 180,000 students, and no lessthan seventy university researchcenters. Add to that 40 public researchcenters and many private corporateresearch structures, and it’s easy tosee why Milan leads Italy in thedevelopment of innovation. The town’space is dynamic, the atmosphereexciting, the opportunities countless.You’ll also find that Italy’s innumerablecultural riches are well represented inMilan, which is a three-star attraction inevery guidebook. It offers everythingfrom ancient ruins dating back to Milan’stwo centuries as imperial capital right upto the latest fashion trends.And from the campus of theconference’s host, Università Bocconi,you can reach the historical downtownquickly by car, tram or foot. ■DowntownThe urban layout of concentriccircles pivots on Piazza Duomo,one of Europe’s grand squaresand home to the Italy’s secondlargestcathedral –the magnificentDuomo di Milano. The afternoon sunmakes its delicate Candoglia whitemarble light up with veins of pink andochre, and hundreds of statues adornthe building’s spires and corniches.On a clear day, a visit to the Duomo’sspectacular marble roof provides abreathtaking view of the Alps and acloser look at its expert carving andstatuary.The square itself is bordered byhistorical buildings, including thePalazzo Reale, home to first-rateinternational art exhibitions. Acrossfrom it is the Galleria VittorioEmmauele II, a stunning glass-roofedarcade full of shops and fine cafesand restaurants. Stroll along car-freepedestrian shopping zones thatstretch from here to Piazza SanBabila in one direction and to PiazzaCastello in another. The imposingmedieval Castello Sforzesco, nowhome to a rich civic museum and abeautiful park, represented forcenturies the power of the Viscontiand Sforza dynasties. Come back inthe evening to see the castle and itsever-changing fountain in theirilluminated splendor.■

Art and CultureMusic lovers are of course familiarwith La Scala, the world-famousopera house where many of themost beloved Italian masterpieces hadtheir debut. An evening at La Scala,recently renovated and expanded, is aremarkable experience.The city abounds in lovely churches thatspan the history of Christendom, amongthem San Lorenzo, Sant’ Eustorgio andSan Babila. One of the oldest Christiansites is the excellent Sant’Ambrogio,named for Milan’s patron, Saint Ambrose.Milan’s standing as a fashion centerneeds no explaining: many of the world’smost stylish names make their homesright here. Enthusiasts of La Modaabsolutely cannot miss a turn through the“Fashion Square” that includes therenowned via Montenapoleone and viadella Spiga - one top boutique afteranother. You won’t be able to visit all 60 ofMilan’s museums on one trip, but artlovers can choose their preference from aselection that includes the PinacotecaAmbrosiana in via Brera, Lombardy’sfinest collection, along with the Museumof Contemporary Art, the Poldi Pezzolicollection and the Bagatti Valsecchi house.Of course, the greatest single masterpiecein town is Leaonardo da Vinci’s LastSupper, visible in its restored brilliance atthe church of Santa Maria delle Grazie. ■Out and AboutThere are great restaurants, clubsand discos in abundance, especiallyalong the Navigli, Milan’spicturesque canals. In summer you can sitoutside, along the bustling sidewalks or onboats converted into floating restaurants.Enjoy a drink and a meal – we know thatLeonardo da Vinci, who designed thecanals’ system of locks, would approve.No city is worse for a change of pace,and Milan offers wonderful opportunitiesfor day trips. Depending on your mood,you can head for the lakes, themountains, the sea or a charmingmedieval town. To take but one example,a boat outing on lovely Lake Como isless than an hour away by car or train.From its origins as a pre-roman Celticsettlement in 400 BC, Milan has come along way. And it’s worth coming a longway to visit Milan.■Università Bocconi was founded in 1902, with anendowment from merchant Ferdinando Bocconi,becoming the first Italian institution of highereducation to grant a degree in economics. In additionto its continued standing as Italy’s foremost economicsand business university, Bocconi is committed to stronginternational outreach, with programs at theundergraduate, graduate and post-graduate leveloffered in English to students from around the world.For further informations visit: www.unibocconi.it
