AIB Regional Chapters: A Review of Best Practices and Future Possibilities

Academy of International Business (AIB) members are potentially privileged to both benefit from and contribute to the increasing internationalization of business school curricula. For this to be true, AIB must itself be fully internationalized. Currently, this is not the case, as is indicated by wide variation in participation and viability across the AIB’s 16 regional chapters. In this exploratory study, chapter-specific data from the regions are collected to identify active chapter locations, to explore variation across these chapters, to promote a best practices mindset and to foster communication across regions to strengthen the impact of the AIB as a whole.
