Centre for International Business Studies

Welcome to CIBS

The Centre for International Business Studies (CIBS) was established in 1992 in order to foster excellence in research, teaching and consultancy in the field of International Business. It is based within the Faculty of Business, Computing & Information Management at London South Bank University, which has a highly international character in terms of the profile and philosophy of its courses, the recruitment of students and the background of staff. CIBS work builds on an already established research base. The research is multidisciplinary and involves work in Accountancy and Finance, Economics, Business Strategy, Marketing, Human Resource Management, Employment Relations and Organisational Behaviour, all considered in their international context. Comparative Studies of both countries and areas are also the subject of much of the research. CIBS co-directors are Prof Grazia Ietto-Gillies (pictured) and Mike Rigby.
