Awards: Haynes Prize for the Most Promising Scholar(s)
The Academy of International Business Foundation and the Eldridge Haynes Memorial Trust award the Haynes Prize for the Most Promising Scholar. The winning paper must have been accepted for presentation at the AIB conference through a double-blind-review process, and have been written by an author or authors under 40 years of age. The winner is selected by the AIB Best Paper Selection Committee. The author receives a plaque and a cash award (amount is announced in the call for submissions annually) at the awards ceremony at the AIB annual meeting.
Originally, the Eldridge Haynes Prize was for the best original essay on some aspect of international business, preferably with an interdisciplinary perspective. The competition was open to authors under 40 years of age and a prize of $5000 was awarded every other year from 1992-1998. In 1999, the AIB Executive Board changed the award to the Haynes Prize for Best Paper at the AIB annual meeting to coincide with current trends in academic research. In 2002, the AIB Best Paper Award sponsored by Temple University's Fox School of Business was inaugurated to reward research excellence for all ages of presenters at the AIB meeting.

Eldridge Haynes
1904 - 1976
The founder of Business International, Eldridge Haynes was a pioneer in the postwar development of International Business. Following an initial career in journalism and business publishing, becoming Vice-President at McGraw-Hill in the early 1940s, Mr. Haynes founded a monthly magazine, Modern Industry. His international experience began during World War II, when he made several visits to the United Kingdom to examine how British industry was coping with wartime conditions. After the war, he headed an American Management Associate program under which European industrialists were brought to the United States for management training; he also headed an AMA mission that advised the West German government on the introduction of worker participation in the coal and steel industry.
Foreseeing early that international business would be the wave of the future, in 1953 Mr. Haynes founded Business International, a publishing and advisory firm dedicated to assisting American companies which at that time were making their first direct investments abroad. Starting with a weekly newsletter and a group of major corporate clients, BI grew over the years into the premier information source on global business, with a wide range of specialized publications, a diversified international client base, major offices in New York, Geneva, London, Vienna, Hong Kong and Tokyo, and correspondents throughout the world. In 1986, Business International was acquired by the Economist Group of London.
For over two decades, until his death in 1976, Eldridge Haynes was a valued advisor to executives of multinational corporations based in the U.S., Europe, and Japan; a forceful spokesman for the international business community in its relations with governments around the world; and an inspirational advocate of free trade and international investment as the keys to worldwide economic development and peace.
