This is the 1st year of the Institute for Global Business Research, whose mission is to support and encourage the global exchange of ideas in business research. The IGBR maintains a website that has developed into a communication medium for our membership and for scholars around the world. Journal issues are available on the IGBR website. You can also view conference proceedings and IGBR information on the website. As an interdisciplinary organization, this conference features research that represents a wide range of ideas, from research contributions to pedagogic and educational applications. The IGBR is a nonprofit organization sponsored completely by its members. We believe the IGBR conferences are an important part of your scholarly career. We encourage collegiality and invite you to submit your research to the conferences and journals. We are thankful to the IGBR for providing a venue in which colleagues can share their scholarly work. Ask your colleagues to co-author with you and invite them to future IGBR meetings. Finally, I would like to extend my appreciation to each of you. It is the authors and the conference participants who make the IGBR successful. Have a great conference and enjoy New Orleans.
