Global myopia: globalization theory in International Business

Terry Clark and Lynette L. Knowles

Journal of International Management, 2003, vol. 9, issue 4, 361-372

Abstract: This paper critically evaluates some shortcomings in the handling of the globalization concept in International Business (IB). In particular, the paper identifies disciplinary isolation (and its consequences) and lack of a general, theoretically satisfying, definition for the concept as key culprits driving the often myopic views of globalization in IB. Some remedies are proposed, and a general definition of globalization is offered in the hope of stimulating a wider discussion.
