Dear Colleagues,

                                                

In case of interest, I would like to share a recently published article in Management International Review (ABS/AJG 3*, impact factor: 4.3), titled ‘Thinking About How We Think’: Using Bourdieu’s Epistemic Reflexivity to Reduce Bias in International Business Research’, which I had the pleasure of co-authoring with Professor Fiona Moore (Royal Holloway, University of London, United Kingdom).

The article devises a practical and non-prescriptive methodological “how-to” process regarding how to conduct reflexive research in IB and cognate fields. We place a particular emphasis on interrogating the ways in which intellectual and disciplinary biases (in addition to personal and social ones) potentially might influence the credibility of the knowledge we produce about IB phenomena. In this regard, we draw theoretical inspiration from Bourdieu’s (1989) reflexive sociology, and we link our discussion also to quantitative IB research.

 

I would be pleased to get in touch with colleagues who might want to try out the proposed methodological process. Future collaboration could perhaps result in new methodological articles that further enhance (or problematise) the said process and/or report about its value/utility (or lack thereof) and the outcomes of applying the process.

 

Finally, we would like to thank the journal and the three anonymous reviewers for an outstandingly valuable and developmental review process; the inquisitive, challenging, and rigorous commentary, indeed, substantially contributed to further improve the article and its contributions.

 

Thanks for your time.

 

Best wishes,

David S. A. Guttormsen
