Dear friends and colleagues,
We are delighted to announce the publication of the December 2021 issue (volume 30, issue 6) of
International Business Review. The issue leads with two papers on the determinants of trade and investment agreements, and on the effects of trust and policy measures on inward FDI. There are then five papers with different perspectives on global value
chains (including the impacts of new digital technologies and motives for reshoring) and four papers on international marketing (focusing on the effects of competitive intensity, brand identity, and multi-level trust). The issue concludes with papers on resources
in new venture internationalization; international diversification and credit scores; reverse knowledge transfer; and foreign ownership and foreign directors. This is an excellent collection to conclude volume 30 of the journal, and we hope you enjoy reading
them.
Best wishes
Roger Strange & Fang Lee Cooke (IBR Editors-in-Chief)
