XIV Iberian International Business Conference 25 October 2018
We take great pleasure in introducing you to the XIV Iberian International Business Conference (IIBC 2018), the conference that connects international business (IB) researchers from Spain and Portugal. We invite all researches interested in it to exchange and share their experiences and research results in a friendly and warm atmosphere.
The conference will take place on 25–26 October 2018 in Cádiz, Spain, and the event will be hosted by Faculty of Economics and Business.
With the main theme of Ploughing through winds: risk, governance, entrepreneurship and internationalization, this time, we want to pay special attention to international entrepreneurship and collaborative networks, calling for join efforts to understand how governance mechanisms can be developed which enhance risk control and create competitive advantage in international partnerships between SMEs. We also welcome papers on traditional IIBC topics. While most papers will, as a general rule, focus on cases set in Portugal and Spain, other cases and/or countries are welcome.
In this edition we are going to share our meeting with the IV Workshop on International Business. This Workshop is a forum for researchers and professionals interested in advancing their knowledge and understanding of business internationalization through the contrast, discussion and criticism of the papers and experience presented.
We expect that this joint celebration will enhance both meetings, offering opportunities to strengthen cooperation among Iberian IB researchers and to build an increasingly active IB research community as well as open links and relation with other professional and researches.
The conference proceedings will be published. At this moment, we are trading with some international journals to publish selected papers.
We look forward to seeing you at Cádiz.
