Introduction: Challenges for European Management in a Global Context — Introduction, Approaches and Directions of Future Research

Mike Geppert, Dirk Matten and Karen Williams

A chapter in Challenges for European Management in a Global Context — Experiences from Britain and Germany, 2002, pp 1-16 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Research into multinational organizations has been heavily characterized — if not flawed — by two major and mutually determining elements. Firstly, for a long time there has been a dominant bias on evolutionary concepts (Westney and Zaheer, 2001) and secondly, the North American perspective has been an overwhelming influence on the field. An example of this is the Oxford Handbook of International Business, in which nearly all the authors of this state-of-the-art work are based at, or completed the major part of their work in, American business faculties.
