Tracing the Path of International Business Research

Abstract

Past studies have attempted to identify the domains of international business over specific periods of time. Most have used data sets for short time periods, providing a snapshot of the field for the period under review. This paper attempts to review the research in the area of international business for the past five decades, with the objective of understanding the path that research has taken over the last five decades in terms of research content, relevance, and methodology. This understanding supports proposal of a research agenda for the future, from the perspective of both content and methods in international business research.
