Faculty Programs
Research and Conference Travel Awards for Faculty
One of CIBER’s objectives is to
encourage research and conference
presentations by Smith faculty on
“international” topics related to their
own disciplines that will further the
international competitiveness of United
States business. This has become
increasingly important given the
globalization of business and our own
growing international presence. An
“international” research project can be
a comparative study (e.g., competition
policy in the U.S. vs. E.U.) or a
cross-national study (e.g., a company’s
international joint ventures, global
business teams, etc.). Projects which
are merely “foreign” (e.g., human
resource management practices in Mexico)
are ineligible for an award.
During 2007-08, CIBER issued awards
jointly with the Business in
International Education (BIE) project.
The Awards Committee consisted of:
Wilbur Chung, Vinod Jain, and P.K.
Kannan. The CIBER/BIE Research Awards
Committee made the following awards this
