Motivation for the Special Issue
Grand Challenges are complex problems with no easy solutions, which transcend national borders and affect future generations. These Grand Challenges, such as climate change, global health, forced migration, food security, financial underdevelopment and infrastructure gaps, capital flight and illicit flows, have usually been discussed as the purview of governments. This special issue aims to contribute to and guide this ongoing conversation by bringing attention to multinationals’ solutions to Grand Challenges. We are interested in submissions that focus on particular actions or initiatives taken by multinationals to solve specific Grand Challenges. We also solicit studies that investigate the behavior of diverse groups of actors participating and collaborating with multinationals, including governments, transnational, hybrid, and not-for-profit organizations to provide solutions. They can even take the form of local initiatives that are scaled and adopted by multinationals and international organizations in other geographies and jurisdictions as solutions to Grand Challenges.
Overview of the Special Issue
The focus of this Special Issue is to provide a deep understanding of how MNEs contribute solutions to Grand Challenges. Grand Challenges are, by definition, complex, and by extension, solutions reflect this complexity. One approach to simplify this complexity is to group them under three main categories – environmental, societal, and economic Grand Challenges – which mirror the concepts of commons, wellbeing, and externalities that underpin each of these challenges. Studies submitted to the special issue can address one or several questions within each of these.
Deadline and Submission Instructions
Authors should submit their manuscripts between October 1 and 30, 2023, via the Journal of International Business Studies submission system. Questions about the Special Issue may be directed to the guest editors (please select copy all editors in your communication) and the JIBS Managing Editor ([log in to unmask]).
