The EIBA Fellows initiative was started at the 27th EIBA Annual Conference in Paris, December 2001. EIBA Fellowships recognize outstanding achievements in research and education in the field of International Business; the number of Fellows is restricted to 20 worldwide. The Founding Fellows elected at the Paris meeting were Professors John Cantwell, John H. Dunning, Seev Hirsch and Reijo Luostarinen. The Fellows elected John Dunning as their first Dean, and John Cantwell was appointed as Secretary/Treasurer. The Fellows themselves elect new Fellows annually.
The following is the complete list of the current EIBA Fellows:
The objectives of the EIBA Fellows are: (i) to recognize outstanding contributions to the scholarship and practice of international business; (ii) to exercise a leadership role in education and scholarship in the field, particularly among European-based teachers and researchers; (iii) to support and encourage the development of EIBA; and (iv) to provide a forum for interaction among the Fellows as well as for the dissemination of knowledge in the field of International Business. Between them, the EIBA Fellows represent a distinctively European contribution to the field of International Business Studies.
The EIBA Fellows meet at least annually, and undertake to arrange one plenary or semi-plenary session at each EIBA Annual Conference, with the agreement of the Conference Organiser. The intention of the Fellows is that the topic of the Fellows' Session will be broad, have a visionary purpose, and be open to multidisciplinary viewpoints. It is intended to deal with thematic perspectives rather than empirical details, reflecting the wider picture of scholarship and the global economy, but with some appeal to practitioners as well as to academics. The Fellows are also engaged in a number of other initiatives in support of EIBA.
