Abstract: Abstract In Chapter 12 , Goodnow offered a collection of vignettes on the historical development of international business (IB) institutions with a focus on US business schools. This chapter supplements this account by offering a description of the development of international business by business schools outside the US. The chapter begins by discussing the changing geography of IB's development throughout its history in which the early beginnings of IB teaching in US business schools were matched, and by some dimensions surpassed, by growth outside the US. Though many business schools outside the US became hubs of IB scholarship and teaching, this chapter focuses on three schools that made notable contributions to IB's development as a field of study, especially during the earlier phases of its development. These are the Ivey Business School in Canada, the Economics Department at Reading University in the UK, and the Uppsala School of Business in Sweden. The discussions highlight the decisive role of entrepreneurial scholars in leading these developments and demonstrate the distinctive character and contribution made by these schools to IB's development. It concludes by suggesting that it might be that the remoteness from the consensus thinking that dominated IB thought in the US that freed these schools to explore less traveled paths for their contributions to IB's development as a field of study.
