Furthering the internationalization of business education. <\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWe hold a bedrock belief in the importance of the internationalization of business education,\u201d said FIU Business Dean Joanne Li, who addressed the Bangalore conference via video. \u201cWe strive to build strategic relationships to advance the work of top scholars in the global business community. Our focus on India and on Asia-Pacific is central and critical to this work.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe face a common question: How can we be better, more effective, more inclusive leaders?\u201d Li said. \u201cHow can we create, incent and support structures that reinforce our goals?\u201d<\/p>\n

Five faculty members and one PhD student received financial support from Dean Li\u2019s Ryder Eminent Scholar Chair endowment to travel to Bangalore and were hosted by IIM Bangalore: Qiang Kang, Arun Upadhyay, Ravi Gajendran, Danielle Combs, Suchi Mishra and finance doctoral student Dung Nguyen.<\/p>\n
