Doctoral Tutorials
The 2013 EIBA Annual Conference will host three events specifically aimed at doctoral students. These events aim to provide the students with the opportunity to discuss their research with distinguished international faculty, and to enable the students to become acquainted with an international network of researchers in international business. Students participating in one of these events are also expected to register for the EIBA conference.
· The 27th John H. Dunning Doctoral Tutorial in International Business.
· The 2nd EIBA Doctoral Symposium.
· The 4th COST-EIBA Doctoral Think Tank, where the focus is on issues related to MNEs from emerging and transition economies.
All tutorials will take place before the conference starts. More information about all three events will be available on the conference website.
The submission deadline for proposals for these events is 2 September 2013.
