AIB INSIGHTS
Special Issue Call for Papers
Building International Business and Societal Resilience in an Uncertain Global Environment
**Deadline extended to January 15, 2023**
Special Issue Co-Editors
AIB Insights is
a peer-reviewed journal publishing Actionable International Business Insights. Short, topical, thought-provoking articles should be akin to written ¡°TED Talks¡± with an applied/actionable focus that is heavy on insights, but light on references, jargon, and
methods. These insights must be relevant to the international business (IB) community of researchers, practitioners, policy makers, and educators. With this call, we invite submissions that offer novel and applied insights for addressing the topic of building
IB and societal resilience in an uncertain global environment that is facing multiple disruptions.
Resilience ¨C the capability to anticipate, cope, recover from, and adapt to both periodic shocks and major disruptions ¨C is called for
at various levels (e.g., global, national, firm, individual) in order to cultivate preparedness as global crises, both man-made and natural, continue to proliferate (Flynn, 2007; Linkov, Eisenberg, Bates, Chang, Convertino, Allen, Flynn, & Seager, 2013; Sutcliffe
& Vogus, 2003). Man-made crises, such as terrorism, continue to make communities vulnerable and to pressure firms to build resilience (Abrahms, Dau, & Moore, 2019; Branzei & Abdelnour, 2010; Czinkota, Knight, Leisch & Steen, 2010), while non man-made crises
like natural disasters and health epidemics may mandate a different set of strategic choices (Oh & Oetzel, 2022). Given the rise in both type and volume of uncertainty in the global business environment characterized by disruptions, disturbances, and an unprecedented
level of uncertainty, possessing the tools and skills needed to be resilient is critical for the survival of multinational corporations (MNCs) and the communities and societies in which they operate (Ciravegna & Michailova, 2022; Dau & Moore, 2020a; b).
Considering these increasingly visible IB challenges, this Special Issue of AIB Insights seeks
novel and actionable insights that provide guidance to MNCs, government policy makers, and other IB stakeholders as they consider how best to foster resilience in the current global environment.
