In 1998, the Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien (WU-Wien) will celebrate its 100th anniversary, andthe AIB conference is planned as one of thehighlights of the university’s activities in thisyear. With some 22,000 students, the WU-Wien is Western Europe’s largest Universityspecializing in Business and Economics. Itoffers a full range of undergraduate, graduateand Ph.D. programs. Together with theworld’s leading business universities, such asUC-Berkeley, Chicago, HEC, Bocconi, Cologneand Melbourne, the WU-Wien is a member ofPIM (Program of International Management)and CEMS (Community of European Manage-ment Schools). Altogether, the WU-Wien hassome 90 partner universities located all overthe world. Approximately 40% of all WU-graduates take the opportunity to studyabroad. In exchange, the same number offoreign students spend one or two semestersat the WU-Wien.

Vienna, with its 1.8 million metro area inhabit-ants, is the Austrian capital. It is situated inthe east of the country, about forty miles fromthe borders with Hungary and Slovakia. Overthe centuries, Vienna has gained the reputa-tion as a melting pot of Central Europeannations and as a bridge between East andWest. Once the center of the former Habsburgempire, Vienna of today combines the culturalheritage of the past and the business orientedlife-style of a growing industrial and commer-cial city located in the heart of Europe. Sincethe fall of the “Iron Curtain” in 1989, manyinternational companies have chosen Viennaas starting point for their ventures into EastCentral Europe, including IBM, Philips, Si-emens, General Motors and Siemens. One ofthe three United Nations’ world headquartersand OPEC are also located in Vienna.
