Abstract

We introduce this Journal of World Business special issue on methodological advances in international business (IB) research. Due to technological advances and the availability of bigger, deeper, and multi-level data, there is a need to reconsider, refashion, and reconceptualize IB research methodology. To do so, we discuss ethnography, multilevel modeling, textual analysis and multimodal data, visual methods, machine learning, accommodating multiplicity in qualitative research, and crowdsourcing. The future is bright for the field of IB because there are almost unlimited contributions that it can make to organizations and societies. But, to continue to do so, we must adapt and rethink our “research business model:” The way we think, conduct research, and report results to make meaningful contributions and impact both IB theory and practice.

国际商务研究方法论的重新思考、重塑和概念化

我们介绍本期《世界商业杂志》关于国际商业(IB)研究方法论进展的特刊。由于技术的进步和更大、更深、多层次数据的可用性，有必要重新考虑、重塑和重新概念化IB研究方法。为此，我们讨论了民族志、多层次建模、文本分析和多模态数据、视觉方法、机器学习、适应定性研究中的多样性以及众包。IB领域的未来是光明的，因为它可以为组织和社会做出几乎无限的贡献。但是，为了继续这样做，我们必须调整和重新思考我们的“研究商业模式”:我们思考、进行研究和报告结果的方式，以做出有意义的贡献并影响IB理论和实践。

期刊介绍： The Journal of World Business holds a distinguished position as a leading publication within the realm of International Business. Rooted in a legacy dating back to 1965, when it was established as the Columbia Journal of World Business, JWB is committed to disseminating cutting-edge research that reflects significant advancements in the field. The journal actively seeks submissions that propel new theoretical frameworks and innovative perspectives on International Business phenomena. Aligned with its domain statement, submissions are expected to possess a clear multinational, cross-border, or international comparative focus, while remaining pertinent to the study of management and organizations. JWB particularly encourages submissions that challenge established theories or assumptions, presenting pioneering or counterintuitive findings. With an inclusive approach, the journal welcomes contributions from diverse conceptual and theoretical traditions, encompassing allied social sciences and behavioral sciences. Submissions should either develop new theories or rigorously test existing ones, employing a variety of qualitative, quantitative, or other methodological approaches. While JWB primarily caters to scholars and researchers, it values contributions that explore implications for Multinational Enterprises and their management, as well as ramifications for public policy and the broader societal role of business.
