The Academy of International Business (AIB) began with a meeting of 15 like-minded scholars looking to build a strong foundation for the field of International Business. Sixty years on, we’ve grown into a global community of over 3,000 academics, producing some of today’s most impactful research.
The story of our association is closely connected to the historical development of International Business as a field of academic study. To help preserve this legacy for the next generation of scholars, we have compiled an extensive online archive of historical documents, media, and data. In doing so, our mission is to promote a shared understanding of both the International Business field as a whole and AIB’s unique role as a driving force in its continued evolution.
