Dear Colleagues,
Please find below the link to a Call for Papers for a special issue of Transnational Corporations on international knowledge sourcing by transnational companies in services. Editors are Tamar Almor, Marina Papanastassiou,
Ana Teresa Tavares-Lehmann, and myself.
Empirical evidence suggests that service industries gained a prominent role in international knowledge sourcing in recent years. Digital MNEs – e.g. Alphabet, Microsoft and Facebook – today are among the largest R&D performers
globally but also firms in traditional service industries have increased innovation and R&D activities abroad in recent years. The shift towards services, however, is hardly reflected in the academic literature which still focusses on international knowledge
sourcing in manufacturing firms.

I look forward to your papers!
Kind regards,
