Letter from the Program Chair

It is a distinct pleasure for me to welcome you to Beijing for the 2006 Annual Meeting of AIB. This is the first time AIB has ever met in China, and the timing could not have been better. China is now the world’s fourth-largest economy and it simply is not possible to open a business publication today and not see reflections on the impact of China’s emergence as a major economic powerhouse. In addition, with the 2008 Summer Olympics just around the corner, AIB members will get a first-hand look at how Beijing is getting prepared.

As I write this letter, the number of registrations for this conference is over 900 and could reach 1000 by the time the conference is around. This is yet another record number for AIB and reflects the attractiveness of Beijing, China as a destination. We are fortunate that the Guanghua School of Management at Peking University is acting as such great local hosts and sponsors, and we are particularly grateful to Professor Changqi Wu and his hard-working local arrangements committee in making this conference possible.

We are also very pleased to thank the other sponsors of the AIB 2006 Annual Meeting:

• Society for the Advancement of Management Studies (SAMS) for sponsoring the Doctoral Consortium and the Doctoral Dissertation Proposal Award

• Fox School, Temple University for Temple/AIB Best Paper Award• CIBER at Indiana for the Farmer Dissertation Award• Palgrave Macmillan for the JIBS Decade Award• Boeing Institute of International Business, Saint Louis University for

sponsoring the Junior Faculty Consortium• CIBER at University of South Carolina for sponsoring the JIBS/AIB Paper

Development Workshop• Sheth Foundation for providing us with a grant for Doctoral Travel Stipends• China Ocean Shipping Corporation (COSCO) • Samsung Group • INSEAD A special thanks also go to Mary Ann Von Glinow and her team for pulling together

such a great program. Please read her letter on the next page for the unique features of this year’s program. We are grateful to Florida International University for its support of Mary Ann’s work on this program. Finally, our thanks also go to AIB Secretariat, and especially Tunga Kiyak, for his hard work in the program and the conference.

AIB 2006 Annual Conference Beijing, China June 23-26, 2006 3

Dear Colleagues,

Huan Ying and Welcome to Beijing and the 2006 Annual Meeting of the Academy of International Business! Not only are we in the most populous country in the world—China—but one filled with great allure: from the “Silk Road,” a massive trading route in ancient times to today’s latest developments in global networks, today the pace of change is measured in nanoseconds, and human capital is at an all time high. The Academy addresses these important topics with cutting-edge research and important contributions in 10 specific tracks. Our program ‘From the Silk Road to Global Networks: Harnessing the Power of People in International Business,’ is formidable. The largest program in the history of the Academy, AIB 2006 had over 935 submissions from 55 countries requiring 1121 reviewers. The program offers you a staggering number of intellectually stimulating events: 116 competitive paper sessions (462 papers), 16 panel sessions, 41 clusters of similarly-themed interactive papers spread over 3 days (194 papers) and 27 special, showcase and/or pre-conference sessions including 4 special Plenaries. This year 4 track chairs have “Showcase” panels, which highlights state-of-the-art research. Here are some highlights of your program for the next 4 days:

Friday June 23—A Full Day of Professional Development Activities:• The Past Presidents’ Roundtable Discussion, chaired by Sonja Sackmann and Julia

Gluesing. This is a novel pre-conference workshop which involves 13 former Presidents of some major professional associations including AIB, who have agreed to convene a roundtable discussion on a topic of their choosing.

• The Doctoral Consortium chaired by Kannan Ramaswamy (Thunderbird) • The Junior Faculty Consortium chaired by Sumit Kundu (Florida International U)• The AIB-JIBS Paper Development Workshop organized by Tatiana Kostova (U of South

Carolina) and Arie Lewin (Duke U).Please note that all of the above events require pre-registration.• The formal program begins 4:30-5:30 on Friday afternoon with a series of welcome

remarks, followed by an Opening Keynote by Weying Zhang, Executive Dean of Guanghua School of Management, on “Competitiveness of Chinese Enterprises in the Global Era”. This session will conclude with the announcement of a Presidential Award by AIB President Alan Rugman (Indiana U).

Saturday June 24• Concurrent sessions are 75 minutes long and commence at 8:10, with an emphasis on

harnessing people power in China and throughout our global networks. Epitomizing this is a Showcase panel(8:10-9:25) Advances in Learning, Knowledge and Innovation featuring Yves Doz, Marjorie Lyles, Sully Taylor, Haiyang Li, and John Hagedoorn who will address current advances and future directions.

• Look for a few special sessions: 9:35-10:50 Buyer-Supplier Relationships addresses important relationships such as establishing and nurturing trust, quanxi and culture.

Pre-, during, and post AIB, customized tours are available, so if you have brought your family they can enjoy the Middle Kingdom as well! We are grateful that IACMR coordinated their program with ours, and expect to see some familiar faces at both programs and on sightseeing excursions.

I would like to personally thank the following, for helping to make this enormous feat possible:• My 10 fantastic Track Chairs, 9 of whom journeyed to Miami in March (Yeah, I know it was

tough!) for 3 days to build this program. That was the least of it because they spent many, many hours on this. They include John Mezias (U Miami), Tamir Agmon (The College of Management, Israel), Peter Dowling (Victoria U of Wellington, New Zealand), Simon Collinson (U of Warwick), Klaus Meyer, (U of Reading), Chris White (Michigan State U), Marjorie Lyles (Indiana), Subhash Jain (U Conn), Rob Grosse (Thunderbird) and Michael Enright (U of Hong Kong).

• I also want to single out the pre-conference organizers, including Kannan Ramaswamy (Thunderbird), Sumit Kundu (Florida International U), Sonja Sackman (U Munich), Julia Gluesing (Wayne State U), Tatiana Kostova (U South Carolina), Arie Lewin (Duke), and Beth Rose (Victoria U of Wellington).

• I want to thank Tunga Kiyak, and the AIB Secretariat for their unparalleled support. Tunga, Irem and Tomas are a joy to work with. Unbelievably competent and seemingly tireless (except at the end of that 3 day marathon of the Track Chairs Meeting) this may be the hardest working group in the Academy. Tunga, in particular—thanks for everything!

• Silvia Salas, Ph. D student at FIU (and her predecessor Rheem Hammouda), my program assistant, for the expert IT whiz kid that she is!

• At FIU my CIBER family for lessening the load—Tita Kourany, Sonia Verdu, Juan Fernandez, Elsa Villar and KK Atmakur and Deans Jose de la Torre and Joyce Elam.

• Changqi Wu and Weiying Zhang at Guanghua. We really couldn’t have done this without all your hard work, and the endless hours you have spent not only with us, but on behalf of AIB. Many thanks to your staff as well for all their help and energy!

• Yves Doz for all the hand holding and brilliant insights as my Predecessor, Muriel Lavaron, who gave AIB its first handbook on ‘running the program,’ and former Program Chairs Nakiye Boyacigiller, and Udo Zander.

• My fellow AIB Board members for their unfailing support--Alan Rugman, Peter Buckley, Yves Doz and Keith Brouthers. I thank you all for a great 2 years!

• AIB Fellows, in particular Jean Boddewyn, Rosalie Tung, George Yip, Marjorie Lyles and Oded Shenkar for all their efforts.

• Our cute webmaster—Kasper Svendsen for an increasingly complex job!• Anne Tsui and colleagues at IACMR for coordinating their program with ours.• My friends and Former Presidents of the many different professional associations who agreed

to come to AIB, some for the first time!—Jean Bartunek, Peter Buckley, John Daniels, Peter Dowling, Jose de la Torre, Sid Gray, Duane Kujawa, Chung Ming Lau, Peter Monge, Lyman Porter, Anne Tsui, Rosalie Tung and Bill Werther. As well, dear friends who have come to support me--Letty Daniels, Karen Echols, Janet Fulk, Mary Teagarden, Kaye Schoonhoven, Jeff, Carolyn & Jonathan Kerr, and Sharon Kujawa.

• Our generous Sponsors• Finally, all my family/friends/coauthors/colleagues for their patience and understanding

during this past year in particular.

Xie Xie, and thank you all! Enjoy the Conference, and Beijing with all its World Heritage sites—Forbidden City, The Great Wall, Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace and Tiananmen Square with its Great Hall of the People. I am confident AIB 2006 will live up to all your expectations!

Letter from the Dean

Dear members of the Academy of International Business:

It gives me great pleasure that the Guanghua School of Management of Peking University is hosting the 2006 Conference of the Academy of International Business.

The mission of the Guanghua School of Management as one of the best business schools in China is to provide business students and corporate executives with world-class management training. Our strategic goals are to nurture business leaders in China’s emerging private sector, to help transform the country’s large state-owned enterprises, and to provide management training for leading multinational companies operating in China.

Our MBA, EMBA and EDP programs are designed to meet the challenges of the information age. We are fully ready to educate a new generation of corporate executives and enable them both to utilize advanced western management experience in order to serve China and to develop Chinese management solutions which will serve the world business community at large.

Our School devotes itself also to training scholars and academic leaders through well-recognized undergraduate, masters, and doctoral programs. Guanghua is well known for its cutting-edge academic research, extensive involvement in government policy formulation, and close ties with the business community. Our faculty members’ writings are published in prestigious international and Chinese academic journals and are recognized for their signifi cant contributions to international economics and management.

The School has assumed a leading role in the development of Chinese business schools, in the formation of China’s economic legislation, and in the promotion of China’s economic reforms. Furthermore, we are determined to build Guanghua into a world-class business school for the twenty-fi rst century. The AIB 2006 Conference with the main theme of “From the Silk Road to Global Networks: Harnessing the Power of People in International Business”, focused on critical issues encountered by all enterprises competing in the international market, will bring Guanghua a new vision and new opportunity of international exposure. I hope all of you as well as the School can benefi t from this unique gathering.

I welcome you all to Beijing to enjoy its traditional culture and wish you all a wonderful experience in China.

WU ZhipanDean Guanghua School of ManagementPeking University


Letter from the Local Arrangements Chair

Dear 2006 AIB Conference Participants:

As the Local Arrangements Chair for the AIB 2006 Conference, I would like to express my sincere welcome to you all. For the past two years, my colleagues and I have been very excited and hard working for the preparation of the conference. We hope to make it an international academic conference with Chinese style and of historical importance both to the Guanghua School of Management, and to the Academy of International Business.

I would like to take this opportunity to express thanks to all the people who have helped us in the past two years, especially Zhipan Wu, Dean of the Guanghua School, Weiying Zhang, Deputy Dean of the Guanghua School, Yu Chen from the Beijing International Conference Center, Grace Gao from the Crowne Plaza Park View Wuzhou Beijing, and Yuan Chun from China Youth Travel Service. I would also like to acknowledge the two sponsoring companies, China Ocean Shipping Corporation and Samsung Group, for their generous fi nancial support to the conference. I greatly appreciate the effi cient collaboration from the AIB Secretariat, especially Tunga Kiyak and Tomas Hult. And last, I would like to say thanks to all the doctoral students involved in the local organization committee for their hard work to make the conference possible and successful.

Beijing is a beautiful city, with an attractive combination of Chinese tradition and modernization. I hope you can enjoy the beauty of the city and encounter China’s historical culture during your stay.

Finally, I hope you enjoy all the activities and events, such as the Gala Dinner at the Great Hall of People, the acrobatic performances, and the Beijing hutong tour, which have been specially selected and arranged for you, and I hope the conference will provide wonderful experiences for you all.

AIB Fellows’ Executive of the Year AwardAward Presentation: Session 2.3, June 25, 11:15-12:30, Room No. 17

Chuanzhi LiuPresident and CEO of Legend Holdings Ltd.

Mr. Chuanzhi Liu is President and CEO and co-founder of Legend Holdings Ltd. (Lenovo belongs to the Legend Holdings Group). Lenovo is China’s top producer of PCs and one of the five major producers of computer motherboards in the world.

Mr. Liu is the principal architect behind his company’s recent acquisition of IBM’s PC unit.

Mr. Liu graduated with an engineering degree from Xian Military Communication and Engineering College of China and began his career as a research scientist at the Computer Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Science. In 1984, he started a computer company with ten colleagues with a loan from a nearby commune for RMB200,000 (roughly $80,000 at the then prevailing exchange rate). In 2001, the sales of the Legend Holdings Group reached RMB32.8 billion (roughly USD 4 billion). In the same year, it was ranked as the best managed company in China, and the 8th “Global Best High-Tech Companies” by BUSINESS WEEK (June 2000). In June 2001, Legend entered into a joint venture with AOL Time Warner Inc. to provide internet services in China.

The ECONOMIST has characterized Mr. Liu as a leader of a “corporate cultural revolution” in China by demonstrating how he has successfully led his company to adapt to the unique Chinese political-economic environment in its transition from a planned to market economy. Mr. Liu created an ownership and incentive system to bring about sustained growth of his company by bringing into full play the initiatives of his employees. He advocated that the major responsibility of a business leader is to “build an effective team, formulate a visionary strategy, and develop promising successors”, which has now become the cornerstone of the Legend Holdings Group. Yuanqing Yang is one of the successors he has groomed.

Mr. Liu’s vision and contributions have won him many accolades, including the title “Star of Asia” by BUSINESS WEEK; “Asian Businessman of the Year”, by FORTUNE; and the chief protagonist in the 2001 Harvard Business School Case, “A technology Legend in China”. In November 2001, he was selected as one of the “25 Business Leaders with Global Influence” by TIME, the only executive from China to be thus honored.

AIB 2007 Indianapolis ConferenceTheme and Preliminary Call for Papers

Bringing the Country Back In: The Importance of Local Knowledge in a Global Economy

Program Chair: Oded Shenkar, Ohio State University

The international business literature characterizes the challenge faced by the multinational enterprise as one of mastering the vagaries of multiple markets while leveraging resources and capabilities on a global scale. The same holds true for international business scholarship which has traditionally covered both globalization and localization, but seems to have now tilted towards the global side of the matrix. Today, international business research often treats a country in terms of its membership in larger groupings such as “emerging economies”, or judges foreign markets in terms of their cultural or institutional “distance” from a focal country, most often the United States. This bias towards global issues has limited the scope of international business research and curtailed development of its unique capabilities in deciphering and interpreting local knowledge, making it less distinguishable from strategy and related areas. Thus, the theme of the Indianapolis conference is to bring the country back in, that is, to discuss the importance of indigenous variables, from culture through politics to social structure, in the context of a rapidly globalizing environment.

We seek submissions from all areas of international business that consider the value of utilizing local and comparative knowledge as a focus of research in international business, propose theories and methodologies that are compatible with this aim, or constitute empirical studies looking at localization issues. Some general guiding questions are listed below, but submissions are by no means limited to answering those.

1. What does “uniqueness” really mean in defining a country and is country the proper unit of analysis given internal variations?

2. What elements of the local environment beyond such “usual suspects” as culture and political risk should multinational companies and international business scholars consider?

3. Do current theories provide a sufficient base from which to appreciate and study local level phenomena? If not, should international business take the lead in developing new theoretical approaches?

4. What should be the theoretical positioning of international “differences”; for instance, should cultural differences be treated simply as uncertainty?

5. Are our research methods adequate for assessing local variables and the challenges they pose to firms? Should we give priority to case studies as a way to identify new variables and new relationships?

6. How should we measure differences between local environments? Can common measures such as “cultural distance” and “institutional distance” capture the key variations? What are the biases embedded in our current measures?

7. How useful are grouping such as ‘emerging economies” and do they come at the expense of attention to other key variables in a local environment?

8. What can we learn from other disciplines, including area studies, about the variables and phenomena we should research?
