Выпуск 3, 2023 годAmeyaw A.-K. Spanning the boundaries: International business theories in a complex global environment. The field of international business is constantly evolving, and there is much debate about what exactly constitutes international business and how its definition influences theorizing. Traditionally international business has focused on cross-border activities of multinational enterprises, including foreign direct investment, multinational enterprises’ strategies, and organization, along with the understanding of the process of internationalization. Changes in the global environment have necessitated a broader, multidisciplinary approach to international business theorizing. This paper explores how international business emerged as a field of inquiry and how the interrelated fields such as international management, international entrepreneurship, and international strategy can inform international business theorizing. A more complementary approach would be beneficial rather than treating these fields as distinct ones. Moreover, this paper recognizes the complex nature of the global environment and highlights the myriad of challenges and opportunities it presents for businesses operating internationally. It proposes a future research agenda that considers this intricate global context, and challenges international business scholars to adopt a holistic and multidisciplinary approach to develop comprehensive theories that capture the dynamic and interconnected nature of the complex global business environment. Keywords: international business theory, foreign direct investment, multinational enterprise, emerging markets. |
