Abstract: Abstract This research note suggests that the international business research agenda is running out of steam after a period of vibrancy. It suggests that ‘the big research question’ with which international business researchers are engaged is no longer clear cut and that, after three distinct periods where a definite research agenda was pursued, no distinctive topic has emerged to take the place of the issues previously, and largely successfully, tackled.
