Organised as a structured bricolage of three interrelated viewpoints, it analyses how rule-of-law backsliding, sustainability rollback and business-and-human-rights reconfiguration challenge responsible business and sustainable development frameworks. Design/methodology/approach T…
A perspective on using partial least squares structural equation modelling in data articles
This perspective article on using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) is intended as a guide for authors who wish to publish datasets that can be analysed with this method as stand-alone data articles. Stand-alone data articles are different from supporting data articles in that they are not linked to a full research article published in another journal. Nevertheless, authors of stand-alone data articles will be required…
International relationships and resilience of New Zealand SME exporters during Covid-19
Purpose This paper aims to empirically investigate how small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have engaged with international network partners during COVID-19 and how the crisis has changed network relationships and resilience depending on pre-COVID relationship strength and, secondarily, on opportunity outlook in a market. Design/methodology/approach This paper draws on 14 qualitative interviews with managers of New Zealand SMEs from diverse…
The Covid-19 pandemic

Design/methodology/approach The paper is organized as a viewpoint. First, it provides an overview of Covid-19 research in business and management and IB in particular. Second, it introduces a societally engaged IB perspective, around poverty and human rights as well as trade. Findings The paper o…
A critical look at the use of SEM in international business research
Purpose – Structural equation modeling (SEM) has been widely used to examine complex research models in international business and marketing research. While the covariance-based SEM (CB-SEM) approach is dominant, the authors argue that the field’s dynamic nature and the sometimes early stage of theory development more often require a partial least squares SEM (PLS-SEM) approach. The purpose of this paper is to critically review the application of…
International Marketing Organization
International marketing organization refers to the decision on a suitable organization structure for the effective orchestration of international marketing activities. The four basic principles entail different forms of divisionalization: the international division, the product division, geographic division, and the functional structure.
International Marketing Culture
International marketing culture refers to the diversity of cultural dimensions across countries and the impact of these differences on company strategy, planning and performance. Cultural aspects of marketing are widely discussed around dimensions of the international marketing environment and in relation to the international marketing mix. A key issue is the perennial debate about standardization versus adaptation.
International Channel Management
International channel management refers to both the physical movement of goods from the place of manufacture to a location in or close to points of purchase and the specific strategic approach in relating and managing channel partners.
International Pricing Policy
International pricing strategies refer to three different options in how to set prices for foreign markets, the rigid cost‐plus pricing approach; the approach of flexible cost‐plus pricing; and dynamic incremental pricing.
Licensing
Licensing is a contractual arrangement whereby the licensor (selling firm) allows some elements to be used for a fee by the licensee (buying firm). Licensing can involve product technology, patents, trademarks, product designs, manufacturing/distribution process, know‐how, intellectual property, or anything that is deemed appropriate to generate positional advantages in the market.
Measurement and Scaling
This article discusses the issues of measurement and scaling for marketing research.
Equivalence
Equivalence refers to the comparability of data at the measurement level. If cross‐national or cross‐cultural data that have been collected from various international market contexts are considered equivalent, no biases are challenging the comparability of their scores.
International Market Entry (Modes) and Development Operation Strategies
The term entry mode has often been used to describe the different methods a firm can use in entering a foreign market.
The mirage of upgrading local automotive parts suppliers through the creation of vertical linkages with MNEs in developing economies
Purpose – This paper aims to explore inter-organizational linkages and the extent of technology transfer and develop propositions related to the linkages, technology transfer and upgrading of local suppliers in developing economies. Design/methodology/approach – The authors conduct a literature review and 50 exploratory interviews with senior managers and policymakers in the automotive parts industry of Pakistan. Findings – The data revealed that…
Rising power firms – the developmental promises and challenges
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to introduce the notion of "rising power firms” and how these firms offer developmental promises and challenges to the face of international business (IB). We suggest that rising power firms offer novel capabilities, connect IB to global value chains (GVCs) and then introduce the papers in the special issue. Design/methodology/approach – The papers in the special issue are grouped under two distinct themes, …
A reconceptualisation of social value creation as social constraint alleviation
Purpose - The purpose of this paper includes two interconnected objectives. The first is to provide a reconceptualisation of social value creation as social constraint alleviation. The second is to respond to the call put forward by Giuliani and Macchi (2014) to produce synergies between bodies of literature exploring the development impact of businesses. The paper focuses on ideas from the global value chain/global production networks (GVC/GPN),…
Progressive Focusing and Trustworthiness in Qualitative Research
ICT deployment and resource-based power in multinational enterprise futures
A Very Short, Fairly Interesting and Reasonably Cheap Book about International Business
Ignorant and impatient internationalization
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine to what extent classical models of firms' internationalization process can explain behavior among totally new types of firms. More specifically, we confront the traditional so‐called Uppsala model of internationalization with data and experiences from such firms in order to analyze and discuss some basic elements in the model. Design/methodology/approach Case studies of newly established and fast gr…
ICT and MNE reorganisation
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to highlight the ICT‐enabled enhancement of control capability in MNEs. The literature on MNE structures acknowledges the role of ICT as a support system, but the specific changes facilitated by ICT have remained significantly underdeveloped. The paper seeks to address this issue conceptually and link contemporary ICT advancement with changes in MNE strategy or structure. The paper further posits that certain …
