Dear friends and colleagues, We are delighted to announce the publication of the October 2022 issue (volume 31, issue 5) of International Business Review. The lead paper – the second in our occasional series of Perspectives - is authored by Eleanor Westney, Rebecca Piekkari, Kaisa Koskinen & Susanne Tietze on the subject of “Crossing borders and boundaries: translation ecosystems in international business.” The authors argue persuasively that IB scholarship would benefit from moving beyond a focus on national boundaries to look also at organizational, knowledge domain and linguistic boundaries, and to consider how movement across boundaries changes what is being moved. This Perspective is followed by two papers on the use of historical social network analysis and on the transfer of corporate governance practices into emerging economies. Next we have eight papers offering various perspectives on market entry, branding, and country images. Then there are two papers on international entrepreneurship: one on second-generation immigrant entrepreneurs and the other on entrepreneurial SMEs in the Muslim world. Finally there are two papers on GVC linkages and on backshoring initiatives in the United States. This is another fine collection of papers offering perceptive insights on a range of important contemporary topics. We hope you enjoy reading them. Please also note the submission deadlines [https://www.journals.elsevier.com/international-business-review/call-for-papers] for papers for the forthcoming IBR Special Issues on “Dynamic capabilities and international entrepreneurship” (31 January 2023) and on “International entrepreneurship and the contemporary global firm” (1 July 2023).
