Administrative history
The Asia Pacific Business Institute (APBI), formerly the Centre for Asia Pacific Business Studies (CAPBS), was founded in 1985 and administered jointly between UBC, SFU and UVIC with funding from the Federal Government. The organization's purpose was to coordinate, develop, and disseminate information to enable Canadian business people to deal effectively with the Asia-Pacific region's diverse business practices and cultures. In 1986 it was decided to close the CAPBS and reestablish it as a non-profit Society that would administer its finances. Thus, the CAPBS became the Asia Pacific Business Institute with Joe Weiler as its executive director. The APBI dissolved in 1990.
