About IIB

The Institute for International Business (IIB) is one of the strongest and most performance-oriented groups in terms of IB research in Europe. IIB’s research focus covers a wide range of facets and topics relevant in the field of international business, as for example the role of regional headquarters, internationalization processes in Central and Eastern Europe, international finance in foreign trade activities or people-related research within and across cultures. On the one hand, publications in international top-tier journals and numerous awards certify the high research quality the institute is constantly striving for. On the other hand, a multitude of projects and co-operations with companies proof the trust and support IIB enjoys from practitioners and managers.

IIB’s faculty and staff are all internationally experienced and well connected to multinational companies and SMEs as well as within the global scientific community. Its international network not only boosts IIB’s position in the global arena but also attracts highly recognized guests and researchers from all over the world, particularly in the case of the IIB Speaker Series.

From a student perspective, IIB is among WU’s most attractive internationally oriented institutes with teaching on Bachelor, Master, and PhD level. Besides its own Bachelor programs in international business, IIB is contributing to the continuing success of the CEMS Master in International Management. IIB’s students benefit considerably from its connectedness to companies and researchers worldwide as well as from its international orientation and expertise.
