4 WELCOME ABOARD! The Impact of Trade and Tourism GREETINGS! We welcome you to the 2016 Annual Meeting of the AIB US Southeast Chapter on the Royal Caribbean Cruise ship Brilliance of the Seas. Through the efforts of our authors and panelists we have an engaging series of sessions to spark conversation, critique and future research collaboration. The conference is rather intimate this year with a smaller number of attendees due to the time commitment of a cruise format, but we have certainly made up for it in excitement. The conference offers papers and panels from thirteen tracks, a junior faculty consortium, doctoral student consortium, student competition, and research methodology workshops. In order to make your conference and cruise experience an enjoyable one we have made a few arrangements for you. There are reserved tables for our meals in the Minstrel Dining room so that you can dine with the conference attendees and their guests, or you can choose to make your own arrangements and try out one of the specialty restaurants on the ship or simply grab a quick bite at the Windjammer buffet. We will provide all registered conference attendees a Voom wifi code so that you can fully participate in the survey methodology workshops hosted by Carol Haney of Qualtrics. This code will be good for the entire cruise and you will receive it in an message prior to the cruise so you can be up and running on Thursday. Each day of the conference we have scheduled an all-conference event, beginning Thursday with our Welcome Reception in the Colony Club. Our all conference plenary will take place on Friday immediately after lunch and features Jonathan Doh, AIB Fellow, as our speaker. And on Sunday we hold our Awards Ceremony and Gala Reception leading into a seated dinner in the Minstrel Dining Room. Our very sincere thanks to George Gehl and Ailene Sorice of Corporate Cruise Consultants, and to Jessica Mitchell of HelmsBriscoe, for helping us organize all the logistics of holding the conference on Brilliance of the Seas. We would not have been able to do it without all of their support. Throughout the conference, we will staff a table located outside the Adriatic, Baltic, and Caspian rooms where you can come for information or assistance. George and Jessica will be traveling with us to assist with any questions you may have regarding the cruise. Think of them as your hotel concierges. We would also like to thank all of our sponsors who through their support reduce the total cost of the conference for all attendees and provide travel stipends for students and low-income faculty so they can attend. This year we are pleased to welcome the University of Tampa as our platinum sponsor who has played an integral role in our partnership with X-Culture student competition. We would like to welcome Sykes as our corporate sponsor and thank them for all their time and effort working with the X-culture student competition. The competition will continue during the conference and culminate in team presentations on Sunday. 4 AIB-SE

5 This conference has taken more than a years worth of planning and I would like to note that without an entire team of dedicated AIB US Southeast Board members it would not have taken place. Our program chair Jeff Kappen has put together a strong program with the assistance of the track chairs. We thank the chairs for all their work on this year s conference and their stewardship of the tracks. Peter Magnusson has played a number of roles, chairing the doctoral consortium, coordinating X-culture with the executive board and the corporate sponsor, and in his spare time running the payment system for the conference. Irina Naoumova has once again served as our sponsor contact, and we have been happy to note a number of continuing sponsors as well as new institutions have joined us at this year s conference. Membership director Stan Westjohn kept our membership lists current and coordinated all communications regarding the chapter and the conference activities. Anshu Arora as Chapter Chair keeps us in good stead with AIB world and coordinated our activities during the AIB annual meeting in New Orleans this year. Mo Sepehri has coordinated and overseen our accounts. I personally would like to thank every one of them for a busy but highly productive year, and what I hope you find to be a memorable and productive conference. Most importantly however, is recognition of your work and effort in submitting quality papers, reviews, and encouraging colleagues and students to attend. We hope the time we will spend conferring over your work will provide you with both valuable feedback and exposure of your research as well as plentiful opportunity to meet and greet your colleagues. We wish you all the best, and hope you enjoy the 2016 AIB US Southeast Conference on the Brilliance of the Seas. Susan and Jeff SUSAN FORQUER GUPTA, PH.D.

Unfortunately, International Business research has been largely missing on the trend, even though this field, as no other, is uniquely suited to rely on international large-scale collaboration. However, a growing number of International Business researchers recognize the potential of open-source data and are eager to join the movement. The proposed panel will review experiences and best practices of data sharing and research crowdsourcing in various fields of discovery, discuss how this approach can be promoted in International Business research and what its growing popularity may mean with respect to data ownership, authorship, promotion and tenure.

Furthermore, the management and international business literature has been dominated by a Western view of the world, a Western epistemology and ontology. Through a conversation exploring the flaws of these views, and how these can hinder our understanding of culture, this panel hopes to move the cultural discussion and to showcase alternative views of looking at culture, as well as provide insights and suggestions for future research.

50 International Business: Research, Teaching and Practice CALL FOR PAPERS AIB US SOUTHEAST CONFERENCE ISSUE DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS FEBRUARY 1, 2017 Complete Information is available at Authors who have been nominated for best paper awards are strongly encouraged to submit their manuscripts to this issue and will be guaranteed the paper will be sent out for review. Authors with accepted papers at the conference are invited to submit their papers for consideration for review and acceptance in this issue where the best papers from the conference will be published. The goal of International Business: Research, Teaching and Practice is to publish insightful, innovative and impactful research on international business. IBRTP is multidisciplinary in scope, interdisciplinary in content and methodology, and has a developmental mission. IBRTP seeks to publish international business manuscripts that focus on three thematic areas: (1) Research, (2) Teaching and (3) Practice. IBRTP seeks to break new ground, rather than merely making an incremental contribution to international business studies. Manuscripts should address real-world phenomena, problems or puzzles; recognize that their contributions stand on the shoulders of prior researchers to highlight what is interesting and different; and include a clear statement of what it is they contribute to one or more of the three thematic areas. IBRTP is particularly interested in publishing innovative papers that start up or redirect a line of inquiry, integrate across disciplines rather than being single disciplinary. Theories whose central propositions are distinctively international are encouraged, as are theories where both dependent and independent variables are international. Manuscripts that provide different perspectives, often deliberately controversial or challenging to mainstream views, are welcome if they advance international business research, teaching, or practice. IBRTP does not publish manuscripts that merely criticize previous work without providing new insights into how the limitations of previous work can be resolved. IBRTP is interested in papers that are constructive in nature, and so which suggest how our established theories or received understandings of issues in international business can be positively adapted or revised, or extended to offer new perspectives and insights on newly emerging international phenomena. IBRTP welcomes submissions in any of the six sub-domains of international business studies: (1) the activities, strategies, structures and decision-making processes of multinational enterprises; (2) interactions between multinational enterprises and other actors, organizations, institutions, and markets; (3) the cross-border activities of firms (e.g., intrafirm trade, finance, investment, technology transfers, offshore services); (4) how the international environment (e.g., cultural, economic, legal, political) affects the activities, strategies, structures and decision-making processes of firms); (5) the international dimensions of organizational forms (e.g., strategic alliances, mergers and acquisitions) and activities (e.g., entrepreneurship, knowledge-based competition, corporate governance); and (6) cross-country comparative studies of businesses, business processes and organizational behavior in different countries and environments. 50 AIB-SE
