Temple University,
University of California at Los Angeles (Finance),
University of Michigan (International Cultural Management/Organizational
Behavior), University of
Pennsylvania (Accounting),

The UT Austin CIBER hosts a biennial Doctoral Internationalization Consortium
in Marketing. The spring, 2006 event brought 25 doctoral students together
with prominent international faculty to discuss international topics related to
marketing and delivered a research agenda to address the questions formulated
during these discussions. UT will host another consortium in 2008.
PhD students should monitor the CIBERWeb Portal for meetings.
