IBEC is a non-profit organization registered in the USA, State of Tennessee. Members and participants are scholars from around the world interested in genuine scholarship in business disciplines related to international business and economies. The organization is directed by a conference chair who serves a three-year term, an assistant chair, a program committee composed of former chairs, and an editorial board composed of established scholars. We encourage new participants and interested scholars to work together with us and each other, learn from each other and define new ways for achieving true scholarship by utilizing new technologies and exchanging best practices.
In addition to seminar sessions on presented research during the annual conference, IBEC strives to add value by offering technical or special topic sessions, providing meetings for members to exchange ideas on research, teaching and potential cooperation, and features events related to the culture and economies of the host countries. We encourage reviewers and participants to assist authors in developing publishable papers and establishing lines of research.
