International business

Chapter 5.9 in Elgar Encyclopedia of Strategy as Practice, 2025, pp 638-641 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: International Business (IB) and Strategy as Practice (SAP) research comprise distinct areas of study that over time have witnessed increasing cross-fertilization, some overlap and a range of opportunities on the horizon for jointly progressing research. The academic discipline of IB emerged during the late 1950s and 1960s in business schools, though IB activity has a longer history. It is concerned with all types of cross-border business activities and the involved flows of resources, people, services, goods, knowledge etc. From focusing on the multinational corporation (MNC), IB research has increasingly dedicated attention to a wider array of business actors operating across borders. IB and SAP research stand in different relationships of articulation, with some studies contributing SAP insights to IB scholarship and other research leveraging IB contexts and phenomena to advance SAP research.
