The top-ranked journal in the field of international business, Journal of International Business Studies (JIBS) is multidisciplinary in scope and interdisciplinary in content and methodology, publishing content from across the eight sub-domains of international business studies:
(1) the activities, strategies, structures and decision-making processes of multinational enterprises; (2) interactions between multinational enterprises and other actors, organizations, institutions, and markets; (3) the cross-border activities of firms (e.g., intrafirm trade, finance, investment, technology transfers, offshore services); (4) how the international environment (e.g., cultural, economic, legal, political) affects the activities, strategies, structures and decision-making processes of firms; (5) the international dimensions of organizational forms (e.g., strategic alliances, mergers and acquisitions) and activities (e.g., entrepreneurship, knowledge-based competition, corporate governance); (6) cross-country comparative studies of businesses, business processes and organizational behavior in different countries and environments; (7) industry 4.0 in IB (e.g., the profound effects that 4.0 technologies have on the governance, the strategies, the structures and the organizational functioning of internationally operating firms); and (8) global sustainability (e.g., how ESGD performance indicators, environmental and climate change impact mitigation, and a variety of dimensions of distributional justice – the equity, diversity and inclusion movements throughout the world – affect the functioning of internationally operating firms).
