    Academy of International Business NewsletterVol. 23, No. 3 LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Exciting Times Ahead! Dear AIB Colleagues: Today has been a much awaited day for everyone in the United States. Along with many others, my husband and I watched the solar eclipse this morning. We were in the 60% band so saw only a partial eclipse; still, it was magical. A day to remember! I will remember today because of this letter also. As the 30th president of AIB, I join a highly distinguished group of former AIB presidents, going back all the way to John Fayerweather who served as AIB’s first president 57 years ago in 1960-1961. Reading Jean Boddewyn’s eulogy for John Fayerweather (https://aib.msu.edu/Fellow/22/John-Fayerweather) is a humbling experience. I have no such “crowning achievements” as Fayerweather’s 1969 monograph nor do I have a legacy Lorraine Eden as “broad and deep” as Fayerweather’s. Still, what I hope to do during my term as AIB president is to follow in Fayerweather’s footsteps by contributing in some small ways to AIB, “which he loved so much and to which he gave of himself repeatedly, in many guises and so fruitfully.” AIB Executive Board I do this, of course, not alone but with a group of committed colleagues. On behalf of the 2017-2018 members of AIB Executive Board, I want to say how honored I and the other members of the board are to be serving as your execu- tive committee this coming year.

  • Academic Life at the University of Fribourg
    AMERICAN COLLEGE PROGRAM Université de Fribourg - Universität Freiburg Academic Life at the University of Fribourg Georges Python founded the Université de Fribourg / Universität Freiburg (Alma Mater Friburgensis) in the year 1889. It is a public cantonal university and is financed by the Canton of Fribourg, the Swiss Confederation and other non-university cantons. The Rector and the Vice-Rectors run the University. The current rector is Professor Astrid Epiney from the Faculty of Law. Other administrative organs of the University include the Senate, the University Assembly and the Commission de recours. The University is divided into 5 Faculties (Theology, Law, Economics and Social Sciences, Letters, Science) as well as 7 interdisciplinary institutes. The various Faculties are spread among the different campuses and buildings. The Science Faculty is located at the Pérolles-Plateau. Theology, Law, Arts and Economics are mostly at the main campus entitled Miséricorde, although a significant part of the Law Faculty resides at the Portes de Fribourg in a modern complex on the outskirts of town and at Beauregard. A sizeable part of the Economics and Social Sciences Faculty can also be found in the Regina Mundi building and on Pérolles. There are currently about 10,000 students in the various Faculties of the University. The demographic make-up of the student body is quite remarkable, in that it brings students from all over Switzerland and around the world (approximately 110 nationalities represented). Traditionally, according to the American system of education, the University of Fribourg was structured more like a graduate school. This means that most students were working toward the Licence - Lizentiat (similar to a Master's degree) or the Doctorat - Doktorat (Ph.D.) However, since the mid-2000s the University of Fribourg has been on the forefront of the implementation of the Bologna reforms.

  • India – Jordan Relations
    India – Jordan Relations India’s relationship with Jordan has always been characterized by warmth and goodwill based on mutual respect. The two countries signed their first bilateral agreement for cooperation and friendly relations in 1947, which was formalised in 1950 when the two countries established full-fledged diplomatic ties. This year the 65th Anniversary of diplomatic relations is being celebrated with large scale cultural activities to enhance people to people exchanges. To promote and facilitate tourism, another “India Road Show” is proposed for October, 2015 along with the 1st Meeting of the JWG on Tourism Cooperation. In November, 2014, Government of India decided to extend e-TV facility to Jordanians. Apart from Media interactions, the GoITO also organized one information and interaction seminar for local tour operators in Amman. To help Jordan in its capacity building efforts 30 ITEC slots have been made available apart from other scholarships under ICCR. During the recently held 9th Session of the India-Jordan Joint Trade and Economic Committee meeting in Amman on 29-30 March, it was, inter alia, agreed to a bilateral trade target of US $ 5 bn by 2020 and holding of annual Indo-Jordan Business Forum. Cooperation in Multilateral Fora Our interaction with Jordan in multilateral fora, particularly under UN’s framework has fostered better understanding on mutual concerns and priorities. Jordan had extended its support for India’s candidature for a non-permanent seat in the UN Security Council for the term 2011-12 and India had extended its valuable support to Jordan’s candidature for the seat for the term 2014- 16.

The meeting offered a platform for deliberating and consensus building on the follow-up to the Rio+20 outcomes, identifying and discussing priorities for implementation of Rio+20 outcomes in the Arab region, and providing collective input into CSD-20 and key international processes and fora such as the high-level political forum (HLPF) for sustainable development and the process for the development of sustainable development goals (SDGs). In particular, discussions focused on the implications of the main outcomes from Rio+20 for the region, the SDGs, the green economy, the HLPF and regional and national institutions for sustainable development, as well as regional and national sustainable development initiatives. The meeting adopted a set of recommendations in the form of the “Dubai Document”, which will be presented to the Joint Committee on Environment and Development in the Arab Region (JCEDAR) and the Council of Arab Ministers Responsible for the Environment (CAMRE) and forwarded to the League of Arab States to distribute to the Permanent Representatives of Arab countries in New York to guide Arab negotiators in meetings related to CSD-20, the HLPF and the Open Working Group (OWG) on the SDGs.
