In Memory of Professor Alan Rugman
This book is dedicated to the memory of Alan Rugman,
who sadly died in July 2014. Alan, in addition to being one of the
most important contributors to the development of international
business theory, was a staunch supporter of the AIB UKI
Chapter. His support for the annual conference and the doctoral
symposium as well as his robust and humorous comments
on papers will be greatly missed. Alan’s substantial contribution to
international business theory will of course be an enduring legacy.
