Abstract

Purpose This paper aims to evaluate the past contributions of Multinational Business Review (MBR), identify research gaps and opportunities and provide a research agenda that addresses several sustainability-related and other contemporary challenges. Design/methodology/approach This study analyzes 400 papers published between 2003 and 2021 to map the MBR’s intellectual and conceptual structure using advanced bibliometric techniques. Findings The bibliographic coupling technique identifies core clusters in MBR papers, and subsequent content analysis of these clusters reveals the following five research fronts: internalization theory and the future of international business (IB) research; internationalization and firm performance; regionalization versus globalization debate; internationalization by emerging market firms; and global dynamic capabilities and firm internationalization. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first comprehensive analysis of past contributions of MBR to research on IB and suggests a way for MBR to play a seminal role in addressing contemporary challenges in IB.

《跨国商业评论》的文献计量分析及未来研究机会

本文旨在评估《跨国商业评论》(MBR)过去的贡献，确定研究差距和机会，并提供一个研究议程，以解决几个与可持续性相关的和其他当代挑战。本研究分析了2003年至2021年间发表的400篇论文，利用先进的文献计量学技术绘制了MBR的知识和概念结构。文献耦合技术确定了MBR论文的核心集群，随后对这些集群的内容分析揭示了以下五个研究前沿:内部化理论与国际商务(IB)研究的未来;国际化与企业绩效;区域化与全球化之争;新兴市场企业国际化;以及全球动态能力和公司国际化。原创性/价值据作者所知，这是对MBR过去对IB研究的贡献的第一次全面分析，并为MBR在解决IB当代挑战方面发挥开创性作用提出了一种方法。

期刊介绍： Multinational Business Review publishes high quality and innovative peer-review research on the strategy, organization and performance of multinational enterprise (MNE), international business history, geography of international business, and the impact of international business on economic growth and development. The journal encourages papers that are cross-disciplinary in nature, and that address new and important issues in international business. Multinational Business Review also promotes research on under-represented regions such as Africa, Central and Eastern Europe, Latin America, and South East Asia and their MNEs, as well as under-studied topics such as the role of trade, investment and other public policies. Specific topics of interest include innovation and entrepreneurship in an international context; corporate governance and ownership; social, environmental and political risk; the role of multilateral institutions; and the nature of emerging market multinationals. The title seeks strong conceptual studies, contributing to the advancement of theories and frameworks, and sound empirical work, whether qualitative or quantitative, suggesting managerial, economic or government policy recommendations. The journal encourages replication studies that contribute to our understanding of the reliability and validity of current knowledge. Finally, Multinational Business Review welcomes proposals for perspectives pieces that offer critical and challenging viewpoints; surveys of the literature particularly those that use new and innovative bibliometric methods; and special issues on topics of relevance to Multinational Business Review.
