Dear AIB Colleagues, I am currently co-editing a book with Drs. Alka Maurya, Loveleen Gaur and Gurinder Singh titled “Disruptive Technologies and International Business: Challenges and Opportunities for Emerging Markets” (DeGruyter, 2022). Might you be interested in contributing a chapter? This book project is very relevant to the AIB community for the following reasons: 1) it has an international business theme, 2) it underscores the importance of disruptive technologies in today’s global business environment, 3) it promotes collaboration of scholarship across countries, 4) it provides an opportunity for scholars and researchers to showcase their work to a global audience, and 5) it helps advance the understanding of the challenges and opportunities relating to disruptive technologies in emerging markets. Various disruptive technologies are reshaping organizations and impacting economies worldwide. Drawing from international contributors from different countries, the book aims to be a key resource on disruptive technologies and international business. The intended audience will be academics, corporate leaders, entrepreneurs, government leaders, consultants and policy makers worldwide. In this book project, we are gathering academics, scholars and thought leaders from around the world to provide their perspective of disruptive technologies: Potential chapter topics are shown below: Chapter Title Word Count 1 New age technologies and disruption of globalization 7,000 – 10,000 2 Smart contracts and international business 7,000 – 10,000 3 Technologies, factories of the future and innovation districts: The socio-spatial reorganization of international business 7,000 – 10,000 4 IoT, smart cities and international business 7,000 – 10,000 5 3D printing and international business 7,000 – 10,000 6 Block chain and payment in international business 7,000 – 10,000 7 Block chain and global value chains 7,000 – 10,000 8 Block chain and documentation in international business 7,000 – 10,000 9 New divisions of labor under Industry 4.0 7,000 – 10,000 10 E-business and international trade 7,000 – 10,000 11 Digital marketing and globalization 7,000 – 10,000 12 Managing business in the era of digital disruption; Unleashing the next wave of innovation 7,000 – 10,000 Proposals for topics outside of the above list may be accepted, provided that there is a compelling rationale behind it.
