Letter from the editors.
Ruane, Maria Claret M. ; Taylor, James J. ; Wiens-Tuers, Barbara A. 等
It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to this Special Issue
of the Journal of International Business Research, a journal published
by the Allied Academies to support the exchange of ideas and insights in
International Business.
This issue features the best papers from those presented at the
Hanoi 2008 International Conference on Business, Economics and
Information Technology on the theme of "Doing Business in the
Global Economy: Economic, Political, Social and Cultural Environments
Facing Business." Founded on a very simple idea, that there is so
much we can learn from each other, the conference provided an
opportunity for academicians, researchers, students, and representatives
from industry and government to get together and exchange ideas in the
spirit of scholarship and professional growth.
We thank the University of Guam's School of Business and
Public Administration, Penn State Altoona's Division of Business
and Engineering, Alfred University's College of Business, and the
Vietnam National University's Hanoi School of Business for their
support of this Conference and the publication of this journal issue. We
are also grateful to the Academy for providing us with the outlet by
which we can share our scholarly efforts with those interested in the
study of International Business.
Consistent with the editorial practice of the Academy on all of the
journals it publishes, each paper in this issue has undergone a
double-blind, peer-review process. This issue includes papers by authors
from nine different countries and thus reflects the international reach
of Allied Academies.
Information about the Allied Academies, the JIBR, and the other
journals published by the Academy, as well as calls for conferences, are
published on its website. In addition, the website displays the latest
activities of the organization. Please visit the site and know that the
Academy welcomes hearing from you at any time, as do we.
