Dear friends and colleagues,
We just published the fourth issue of Global Strategy Journal for 2022; it is available at
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/20425805/2022/12/4. This is the second of two special issues in which we celebrate the first decade of the journal! In them you will find articles by some of the thought leaders in global strategy and related fields discussing
emerging global strategy topics.
In this second Decade Celebration issue we have another set of insightful papers explaining strategy in context. We open with two articles that explain how digital technologies influence global strategy. Furr, Ozcan, and Eisenhardt elucidate three key tensions
in digital transformation: Products versus platforms, firms versus ecosystems, and people versus tools. Birkinshaw explains how the digital revolution has supported the emergence of born-digital firms and challenged traditional arguments.
These are followed by a set of studies discussing strategies within multinationals. Casson analyzes how to combine analyses of corporate strategy and market entry with analysis of internal organization. Teodorescu, Choudhury, and Khanna explain how subsidiaries
of multinationals build contextual intelligence in the countries in which they operate. Buckley points to the increasing pressures on multinational companies from states, markets, and society at large.
We conclude with three studies that discuss new global strategy topics. Beamish and Hasse highlight the importance of rare events as a phenomenon to study and help advance global strategy research. Leiblein, Reuer, Larsen, and Pedersen provide a thoughtful
discussion about the domain of global strategy. Verbeke and Yuan discuss how intrapreneurship unfolds in multinationals.
At the end of the special issue, we thank the referees of the special issue for their help providing useful suggestions for improvement.
These articles complement the ones published in the first Celebration issue, which are available at
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/20425805/2022/12/3.
Please continue sending your best work for consideration for publication.
Best wishes,
