History of iBEACON
International Business, Economics and Accounting Collaborative Network was founded in October 2006, when Dr. Victoria Krivogorsky, SDSU, USA initiated a research project on IFRS adoption with five international scholars from prominent European Universities. Initial international members of the project included Drs. Pascal Dumontier, Francois Aubert, Jose Luis Ucieda, Leandro Canibano, and Axel Haller. In July 2007 with the financial support from CIBER SDSU four international members of the project visited SDSU to discuss a plan for the future collaboration. Dr. Gary Grudnitski , SDSU, USA joined the project at that time. The idea to name the project iBEACON should be credited to Drs. Grudnitski and Aubert.
iBEACON was created as a center to focus on the research of broad international topics not just related to the field of accounting as an accounting is an integral part of all business transactions. We also recognize the importance of focusing on teaching of international topics by facilitating learning experiences for students and professionals in all aspects of the international scholarship
Dr. Victoria Krivogorsky became a first director of iBEACON.
