CALL FOR PAPERS (extended 6 October) AND REVIEWERS

17-19 February 2016 – SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA

The Discipline of International Business at University of Sydney Business School (USBS) is pleased to invite IB scholars worldwide to present their research at the Annual Conference of the Australia and New Zealand International Business Academy (ANZIBA). The theme of the conference is ‘Contextualising Theory in IB’. While the importance of context has been recognized widely in international business research, incorporating it explicitly for theory building is in its infancy. This conference encourages scholars to share their novel ideas pertaining to theory building through incorporating context in research.

The conference features a one-day Doctoral Colloquium on Wednesday, 17 February hosted by UNSW. Followed that same evening by a welcoming reception for all conference attendees, and then two days of concurrent presentation sessions on the 18-19 February, hosted at the USBS CBD Campus.

ANZIBA welcomes:

· Competitive Papers: for work at an advanced stage of development, between 5000 – 10,000 words in length, including references, figures and tables.

· Workshop Papers: for work-in-progress, these are shorter conference papers not more than 5000 words long, including, references, figures and tables.

· Panel Proposals: suitable for themed panel-lead discussions held during the concurrent sessions at the conference. Proposed panel themes should be accommodated by the track topics listed below.

· Research summaries: from doctoral students for participation in the Doctoral Colloquium
