Thematic Literature Reviews, Bibliographic, and Meta-Analyses in Marketing

One of the important purposes of this special review issue is to provide
ideas and directions for budding research to undertake novel research,
instead of doing replete and recycled types of research. Challenges emerge
when research does not link systematically to the underlying body of
knowledge. Thus, it is important in the design of new research for the
researcher to have a state-of-the-art understanding of research findings
(e.g., empirical generalizations) from the topical domain. High quality,
thematic review papers, bibliographic, and meta-analyses can provide this
state-of-the-art understanding to scholars and thus play an important role
in a discipline’s progress (Frank & Hatak, 2004; Jones & Gatrell, 2014;
Palmatier, Houston & Hullund, 2018).  We encourage scholars to review and
synthesize widely used theories, contexts and methods in their articles.
The objective of such reviews should be to identify research gaps and
develop agendas for future research.

It was noted that there is a paucity of thematic review articles and
bibliographic studies in the area of Marketing and International Business
(Palmatier et.al, 2018; Paul, 2017; Keupp & Gassmann, 2009). Therefore, it
was decided to focus on these two areas for this special issue. We will
publish three types of papers in this special issue.

Type 1:  Thematic literature reviews

Examples:

Rosado-Serrano, A., Paul, J. & Dikova, D (2018). International franchising:
A literature review and research agenda. Journal of Business Research, 85,
238-257.

Zahra, S. A., & George, G. (2002). Absorptive capacity: A review,
reconceptualization, and extension. Academy of Management Review, 27(2),
185-203.

Type 2: Bibliographic analyses

Examples:

Ford, J. B., & Merchant, A. (2008). A ten-year retrospective of advertising
research productivity, 1997-2006. Journal of Advertising, 37(3), 69-94.

Luo, Y., & Zhang, H. (2016). Emerging market MNEs: Qualitative review and
theoretical directions. Journal of International Management, 22(4), 333-350.

Paul, J., & Singh, G. (2017). The 45 years of foreign direct investment
research: Approaches, advances and analytical areas. The World Economy, 40(11),
2512-2527.

Type 3:  Meta-analyses

Examples:

Leonidou, L. C., Katsikeas, C. S., & Samiee, S. (2002). Marketing strategy
determinants of export performance: A meta-analysis. Journal of Business
Research, 55(1), 51-67.

Dwivedi, Y. K., Rana, N. P., Jeyaraj, A., Clement, M., & Williams, M. D.
(2017). Re-examining the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology
(UTAUT): Towards a revised theoretical model. Information Systems Frontiers,
1-16.

Knoll, J., & Matthes, J. (2017). The effectiveness of celebrity
endorsements: A meta-analysis. Journal of the Academy of Marketing
Science, 45(1),
55-75.

We have broad domain of Marketing and International Business to be
reviewed. Areas of investigation might include (but are not limited to):

Marketing Domain

Services marketing, including retailing

Brand management

Consumer behavior

Digital and social media marketing

Industrial marketing, including B 2 B marketing

International marketing

Product and promotion management

Luxury marketing

Advertising

Digital and interactive marketing

Theories in marketing

Methods of research in marketing

International Business domain

Global strategy

International entrepreneurship

Export-Import management

Foreign market entry strategies such licensing , joint ventures and
subsidiaries

Internationalization models

Cross-cultural management

Qualitative research in international business

Empirical research in international business

Scale development and measurement issues

We seek reviews using any applicable methodologies, ranging from
qualitative synthesis of research findings to quantitative meta-analysis.
Qualitative reviews should focus on review of widely used methods, review
of theories used in a specified field of research/ theme, review of
contexts studied in the past etc. instead of focusing on the bibliometric
aspects of authors and their affiliations.
