Dear all,

We would like to celebrate Multinational Business Review’s 2019 achievements with this virtual issue, a collection of selected papers free to access for one month.

MBR is growing in both reach and quality, having seen a 22% increase in downloads in the last three years. Along with this, we have also seen recent increases in traditional journal rankings; MBR is now ranked a B in the Australian Business Deans Council (ABDC), with a 2018 Impact Factor of 1.436 and a 2018 CiteScore of 2.46.

These achievements would not have been possible without the efforts and dedication of our Editorial Board members and authors who we would like to thank for their dedication.

This virtual issue comprises of the following papers, all of which are available on Emerald Insight:
