This PhD investigates how multinational enterprises (MNEs) choose between middle power locations for productive investment, and under what conditions the resulting FDI delivers durable productivity gains.

The project places FDI as the mediating mechanism between a country's structural positioning and its productivity outcomes. Rather

Dear colleagues,
We are entering a markedly different global landscape, one defined less by integration and more by fragmentation. Geopolitical tensions, sanctions, trade realignments, and the erosion of multilateral norms are no longer background conditions; they are actively reshaping how firms compete, organize, and survive.
This raises a fundamental question for our field: Are our existing theories of international business still adequate for explaining firm behavior under sustained geopolitical uncertainty?
A new Special Issue at the Journal of International Management seeks to engage this question: “How Multinational Enterprises and Traders in Emerging Markets Cope with Geopolitical Uncertainty.”

After more than three decades of economic liberalisation and deep engagement with multinational enterprises and global value chains, Latin America has seen uneven development outcomes, limited industrial upgrading, and continued reliance on primary sectors. As the global economy undergoes profound change – driven by geopolitical tensions, technological shifts, and a more fragmented, multipolar order – the region once again faces critical strategic choices.

I would like to share a call for chapters for an upcoming edited volume, Geopolitics, Industrial Policy, and Fragmented Interdependence in the Global Economy, to be published by IGI Global. The volume addresses the ongoing transformation of the global economic order, focusing on the interplay between geopolitical competition, industrial policy resurgence, and the reconfiguration of global value chains under conditions of “fragmented interdependence.”The project invites theoretical and empirical contributions from scholars in international business, international political economy, and related fields, covering topics such as geo-economic competition, FDI screening, supply chain restructuring,

Global competition is increasingly defined by rivalry for technological leadership, where firm performance and institutional strength are closely intertwined. Across sectors such as healthcare, AI, and electric vehicles, firms navigate fast-changing environments shaped by active state involvement. Thus, the coordination and competition among public and private actors across nations will shape the future trajectories of the global markets.

During the pandemic, I offered online workshops that aimed to enable deep understanding of measurement error and how it translates to the measurement of one thing and the measurement (or manipulation) of many things (i.e., the method).

Dear friends and colleagues,

We are delighted to announce the publication of the June 2026 issue (volume 35, issue 3) of International Business Review. Due to the production scheduling imperatives of our publisher (Elsevier), this issue only contains five articles.

The first article (by Maria Luiza Carvalho de Aguillar Pinho, Celso Roberto de Aguillar Pinho, Attila Yaprak, Leigh Anne Liu & S. Tamer Cavusgil) introduces Responsible Global Business, an MNE-focused perspective on global business-society tensions. The authors argue that tensions are ongoing and interconnected contradictions, intensified by the institutional and cultural diversity encountered in the MNE’s global environment.

Global competition is increasingly defined by rivalry for technological leadership, where firm performance and institutional strength are closely intertwined. Across sectors such as healthcare, AI, and electric vehicles, firms navigate fast-changing environments shaped by active state involvement.

Dear AIB community,

The so-called blue economy, an economy connected to our oceans, represents the 7th largest economy in the world. Despite the critical role played by the world’s oceans, management scholarship (and IB in particular) has engaged with oceanic contexts in a relatively limited and uneven way. The aim of this Business & Society Special Issue is to encourage cross-disciplinary research that examines oceans as a business–society nexus. It focuses on how blue economy activities interact with governance arrangements and social justice considerations, and how such interactions shape the economic, social, and ecological dimensions of

Two emerging developments motivate this Special Issue. First, digital technologies offer new potential to enhance firm-level capabilities for coordinating and adapting cross-border networks, while reshaping competitive dynamics between incumbents, startups, and scale-ups. Second, China’s ascendancy as both innovator and regulator—particularly in new energy technologies—and its growing geopolitical influence demand renewed scholarly attention.
