Abstract: Strategy research occupies a central position in business studies, but despite its global reach mainly has been considered as geographically homogenous. This paper aims to contribute to a better and more nuanced understanding of the strategy field by assessing Nordic contributions to the international strategy field. Using a bibliometric approach it shows that the Nordics holds an increasingly strong position in international strategy research but also identifies differences. Denmark is the single most successful Nordic nation across all measures, and even matches the international forefront in citation per publication. The success appears related the degree of co-authorship with international strategy scholars. Together, findings establish that Nordic strategy research contributes strongly to the core of international strategy research. Implications for several stakeholder groups are provided.
