Journal of International Management, 2005, vol. 11, issue 2, 187-200

Abstract: This study proposes that multinational business issues are enriched by analysis from multiple perspectives. This is illustrated through two cases: knowledge transfer and offshore work outsourcing where each show value from the combination of both international business and management information systems perspectives. This paper also discusses some of the social realities that may present barriers to synthesizing knowledge from these two disciplines.
