The Domain of International Business and the AIB

Abstract

This article discusses research, teaching, and engagement in international business. The article aims to capture some kind of consensus, identify where new challenges might prompt a revision of the IB domain, and outline any implications for the scope and activities of the AIB. To do so, it focuses on the distinctive characteristics and features, boundaries and benchmarks of IB, a legitimate curriculum for the teaching of IB globally, accreditation of any IB teaching programme, and the main stakeholders and interest groups that we are (or should be) connected to.
