	IN SEARCH OF RELEVANCE FOR INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS RESEARCH: IMPACT ON MANAGEMENT AND PUBLIC POLICY
	Theme: "In Search of Relevance for International Business Research: Impact on Management and Public Policy" is the overall theme for the 2000 Annual Meeting of the Academy of International Business. Scholarship in any discipline is ultimately judged by its impact on practice as well as public policy. While advancing the theoretical and conceptual foundations of the international business discipline, scholars must also be concerned about: (a) the relevance of their research for management action; (b) applicability of their research frameworks and objectives to business situations; and (c) usefulness of their research findings for enhancing business practice and public policy making. The 2000 meeting of the Academy of International Business provided an opportunity to critically examine the relevance and impact of international business scholarship for business practice and public policy. In addition, the meeting: (a) showcased the best international business research with managerial and public policy implications; and (b) shared industry, corporate, and public sector-sponsored research with participants. The meeting provided an occasion for meaningful, intellectual exchange with thoughtful members of the business (banking, consulting, and others) and public policy (international agencies, government agencies, etc.) communities. The meeting also served as a forum for various stakeholder groups in international business research to discuss present and future collaboration. The annual meeting took place 17-20 November 2000, at the Pointe Hilton Resort at Tapatio Cliffs in Phoenix, Arizona.
