Doctoral Stipends
Monies are issued by FIU CIBER to students who are engaged in advanced training, development of area studies, or the international aspects of professional studies. Included in these stipends are awards for travel and research study in the U.S. and abroad. In 1997-98, FIU-CIBER sponsored two doctoral students to support their completion of their advanced degree requirements, including pre-dissertation level studies, preparation for dissertation research, and other research projects.

Scholarships for Study Tours and Research
These scholarships are issued to members of the FIU community as an opportunity to develop intellectual capacities in international affairs. FIU-CIBER will continue to assist in the development of knowledge about international regions and to stimulate the attainment of international business understanding through scholarships. In 1997/98, scholarships for study tours and research supported several projects.

Case Studies of Developing Countries
As in the past, we continue to support the development of case studies focusing upon Latin America and the Caribbean region. We encourage regional studies and the publication of these studies for use in American classrooms and in American businesses. This year, for example, we published a case study entitled: "Cross Border Labor Organizing: Aguirre vs. American United Global, Inc."

Best International Human Resources Management Practices Consortium
This award-winning consortium will continue to collect data from many parts of the world. Significantly, Dr. Von Glinow was the Honoree of the Board of Directors of the American Society for Competitiveness in 1997. The award for Innovation in International Research Methodology recognized her work with this consortium and spotlighted ways to increase national competitiveness through human resource management. Data collected focused on the "how and under what conditions do human resource practices vary world-wide, and how can U.S. businesses take advantage of these differences?" Articles will continue to be produced and a presentation was given at the annual Academy of Management meetings in San Diego in 1998. Discussions will be held around dedicated publication streams and a series of high impact conferences and books will be published.

International Trade Data Analysis
Professors John Zdanowicz and Simon Pak, FIU College of Business Administration’s Department of Finance, are involved in conducting research and in preparing trade data reports from the U.S. Merchandise Trade Data Base. Their analysis of the U.S.'s top 100 trading partners will be funneled through CIBER to interested users via the internet, and these trade statistics reports will allow much more rigorous analysis of U.S. exports, thereby enhancing national competitiveness.
