 A Discourse Analysis of Knowledge Creation in International Business Research: JIBS 1970–2005Minna Söderqvist and Brian Toyne Chapter 1 in Thought Leadership in Advancing International Business Research, 2008, pp 9-40 from Palgrave Macmillan Abstract: Abstract Many of the fields of inquiry from which international business (IB) inquiry can trace its origins have histories of exploring different paradigms and methodologies, and their value in increasing our understanding of the phenomena studied. For example, the literatures of economics, sociology, management, and marketing are replete with conversations regarding the conceptualizations, paradigms, and methodologies they have used and are currently using (e.g., Hunt, 1983, 2003; Donaldson, 1985; Swedberg, 1990; Grant et al., 1998). These disciplines also hold annual meetings that include presentations and discussions on the merits of newly developed conceptualizations and research methodologies, all with the purpose of enriching their understanding of the phenomena and relationships explored by their scholars and how these scholars use and value different methods of knowledge creation. That is, the scholars are made aware of what was, what is, and how it might evolve.
