The goal of the proposed panel is to discuss the present status and likely future of international business (IB) as an academic field. Fifty years after EIBA’s foundation, the time seems ripe for an appraisal of where we have been and are going. The panel will start with a short presentation by the organizer, Jean-Francois Hennart, on what the empirical evidence tells us is the present status of IB and its likely future. Hennart will then pose 5 specific questions to a panel of three senior IB scholars, Grazia Santangelo, Sjoerd Beugelsdijk and Alain Verbeke. Then the floor be open to the audience. The background data on IB’s status and prospects and the five specific questions are part of the panel submission and have been communicated to the panel members who have agreed to focus on them. I believe that this approach joined to the high quality of the panel members will attract a large audience.
