Journal of World Business A Special Issue on “Time Matters: Rethinking the Role of Time in International Business Research” Submissions open August 15, 2020; Submissions due August 30, 2020 Guest Editors: Emmanuella Plakoyiannaki, University of Vienna, Austria Eriikka Paavilainen-Mäntymäki, University of Turku, Finland Melanie E. Hassett, University of Sheffield, UK Elizabeth L. Rose, University of Leeds, UK Peter W. Liesch, The University of Queensland, Australia Supervising Editor: Ulf Anderson, Mälardalen University, Sweden Special Issue Overview This special issue intends to stimulate thinking on the role and impact of time in International Business (IB) theory and practice. We seek conceptual, theoretical and empirical – both qualitative and quantitative – papers that advance our understanding of temporal issues as they pertain to IB phenomena. Please see the attached call for more detail. Objectives of this Special Issue * To understand how assumptions about time shape theorizing in IB * To incorporate the role of time in the conceptualization of IB phenomena * To account for time more explicitly in IB research * To develop more effective ways to include time empirically in qualitative and quantitative IB research Illustrative Topics We encourage conceptual, methodological and empirical contributions that address, but are not limited to, the following topics: Philosophical domain: Theorizing about time in IB · How do different conceptions of time (e.g., subjective; organic; cyclical) advance knowledge of IB phenomena? · How do different philosophical traditions (e.g., interpretivism, phenomenology, critical realism, positivism) define the study of time in IB scholarship? Conceptual domain: The role of time in the conceptualization of IB phenomena · How can we define time in IB research? · What is the role of time in theorizing in IB? · How can process and variance-oriented research complement one another in providing IB with stronger theoretical bases? · How is time conceptualized in IB research? · How can time-related concepts be defined in IB research? · How do IB researchers take advantage of dynamic theories? Methodological domain: Accounting for time in research design * How do we define and distinguish between dynamic and static theories in IB? · How can we incorporate time into the assembly of qualitative and quantitative data in IB research? · How can we analyse longitudinal or process data – qualitatively and quantitatively? · How can we incorporate practices and methods from business history research into IB? * How can we make strong theoretical contributions using temporal, processual and longitudinal research? We look forward to your submissions that address the important issue of advancing our understanding of time in the context of IB.
