Dear Colleagues,

 

I would like to bring to your attention the TOC for the latest issue (54(4) of the Journal of World Business. This issue includes articles for the special issue on “National corporate governance and the multinational enterprise”. The articles in the special issue examine the factors of convergence and divergence in corporate governance of emerging and developed market economies, with a focus on firm internationalization. There are several other interesting articles in the regular issue that examine important, phenomenon based issues such as those pertaining to the belt and road initiative and a different way to look at the intellectual property regime in China. Hope you like the collection of article in this issue.

 

Best,

Ajai
