Abstract: Abstract International management is the study of managing the multiple, diverging, and heterogeneous cross-border activities of international business firms. It is concerned with the challenge of organizing the multiple business operations of firms that are driven by the need to exploit and explore firm-specific advantages within and across national boundaries. The central question in international management is built around the multiple challenges, efforts, and objectives to organizing cross-border business activities. It is directed at designing an effective firm-wide structure that enables the exploitation and exploration of intra-firm knowledge generated by multiple affiliates operating abroad. The management of a firm’s international activities is motivated by the need to coordinate and integrate cross-border value-adding stages.
