“…Nehrt states that business schools have fallen short of this goal. However, in a study of more than 1100 institutions, Kwok and Arpan (2002) ascertained that significant progress has been made on the internationalization of business curricula since 1992. They speculate that the globalization of businesses worldwide has increased faster than the internationalization of business schools' curriculum and faculty, creating a gap that has been difficult for business schools to close.…”

“…(5). Similarly, in a survey of business school internationalization sponsored by the AIB, Kwok and Arpan (2002) also noted that "globalization throughout the world (in terms of business) increased even faster than the internationalization of business schools' curricula and faculty" (579). Thus, research in international business is a critical factor in the continuing success of business education and places a clear focus on the need for strong IB dissertation research.…”

Based on fifteen years of data on the annual Academy of International Business (AIB) best dissertation Farmer Award finalists, we find that these dissertations were done at a range of North American universities. Interestingly, dissertation topics differed from the topics covered in the three top IB journals with five-sixths of the topics in management, organization, economics, or finance and two-thirds set in a single country or region (U.S., Japan, North America, and Western Europe). Survey research is the most common methodology but analysis of secondary data is growing. As expected, the finalists are on average an extraordinarily prolific group.

“…A close look at studies on an international level helps to understand the current profile in international business. When in business education throughout the world the internationalization process still primarily focuses on creating awareness rather than on developing a better understanding and expertise (Kwok and Arpan 2002), how about the publications and conferences as a means to create knowledge? Different studies published in journals on international business research and institutional productivity in the period 1995-2004 (Chan et al 2006), in marketing journals and conferences for the period 1987-2002 (Stremersch and Verhoef 2005) show the dominance of US institutions, although participation of scholars from regions other than the US has increased in percentage over the years.…”

Conference proceedings as a matter of bibliometric studies: the Academy of International Business 2006–2008

This study does a bibliometric analysis based on keywords of conference proceedings. Scientometric investigations of conference proceedings are a new and innovative, not very common approach. The studies and papers presented may be interpreted as early indicators of scientific development. The Academy of International Business (AIB) was chosen for being the leading organization for studies in international business with contributions covering a 3-year period (2006)(2007)(2008). The study presents the general structure of current scholarly interest in international business studies, clusters the keywords and reflects details on the focused research areas of the papers analyzed. The bibliometric analysis indicates three clusters: the core, the semi-periphery and the periphery. The five most occurring keywords were found to be multinational enterprise, emerging markets, foreign direct investment, internationalization and knowledge management in descending order. The analyses focus on concepts building the core (in total ten keywords), the semi-periphery which is coined by performance and related topics (60 keywords) and the periphery of the studies with governance and specific facets of it (199 keywords).
