The primary objective of this special issue is to showcase high-quality interdisciplinary research in the international business (IB) field, with a view to inspire
and educate others on how such research should be conducted. Five articles are presented, each with its own distinctive interdisciplinary contribution to expanding our knowledge
about an important IB phenomenon.
In editing the special issue, the editors developed a new understanding of the opportunities and challenges in conducting interdisciplinary research.
These insights are discussed in the special issue’s editorial essay.
The editors advise that interdisciplinarity is not an end in itself, but rather an approach to research that is appropriate for tackling certain types of research problems,
typically those spanning multiple levels of analysis, or those that are seeking to get to grips with poorly or partially understood phenomena. But when conducted appropriately and with skill, it is an approach to research that can generate great insights and
be highly influential.
