Greetings: I am pleased to share the contents of Journal of World Business, Volume 53, Issue 1. The issue presents a special issue on Multinational Enterprises and Sustainable Development in the Extractive and Natural Resource Sectors. This topic, which reflects JWB's commitment to phenomenon-based research, has obviously emerged as an important one but has received relatively scant treatment in the management and IB area. The Special Issue contains six articles that emerged after a rigorous review process, a commentary, and a superb introductory article by the SI editors. I know you will find this SI to be stimulating reading. Best regards, Jonathan Jonathan P.
