JIBS Decade Award

The "JIBS Decade Award" was established in 1996 [5] to recognize the most influential paper published in the volume a decade prior. The award is sponsored by Palgrave Macmillan. A selection committee evaluates the five most cited papers of the year and decides on the most influential paper. A special session is held at the Academy of International Business annual conference including a presentation from the award winner and additional commentary. In 2009, the Decade Award was extended to include the 1970-1985 volumes of the journal, .[6]
