A perspective on the state of the field: International business publications in the elite journals as a measure of institutional and faculty productivity

Ranking International Business Institutions and Faculty Members Using Research Publication as the Measure

“…One of the limitations of this study is the non-inclusion of other leading iB or iM journals such as Journal of International Management, International Business Review, Journal of International Marketing, and the like. also, more recently there has been an increase in iB or iM-related articles in general business, management and strategy journals such as Organization Science, Strategic Management Journal, and Academy of Management Review, among others (Pisani 2009;Trevino et al 2010), which we do not include in our analyses. however, such exclusion was deliberate, as we wanted to focus on three core iB journals so as to extend previous research and enable comparison of findings across different time periods in a focused manner.…”

“…such studies, among others, include the ranking of (a) authors and universities publishing iB articles (Morrison and inkpen 1991;trevino et al 2010); (b) authors, institutions and discipline content of published articles in the Journal of International Business Studies (JiBs) between 1970(inkpen and Beamish 1994; (c) authors and disciplines of articles published in JIBS between 1984and 1993(chandy and Williams 1994; (d) international business schools based on the measure of faculty publication (Kumar and Kundu 2004); and (e) schools based on publication data between 1995 and 2004 for four leading international business journals (chan et al 2006). the role and importance of ranking studies is well documented in literature spanning a variety of disciplinary areas, from sociology (espeland and sauder 2007; Sauder and espeland 2009), logistics (carter et al 2009), Strategy (Baden-Fuller et al 2000), Finance (Zivney and Bertin 1992), economics (Grove and Wu 2007), Management (Devinney et al 2008;Pisani 2009;Wedlin 2007;Werner 2002), Marketing (caruana et al 2009;Linton 2004;Mitra and Golder 2008), information systems (Willcocks et al 2008), Education (Sweitzer and Volkwein 2009), Research Methods (Mills et al 2006), to International Business (Macharzina et al 2004;Macharzina et al 1993).…”

“…this has led to some ranking studies focusing on single journals [e.g., coudounaris et al (2009) on Management International Review, inkpen andBeamish (1994) on Journal of International Business Studies], and others to include a broad range of business and management journals that international business/management research has permeated (e.g., lu 2003;Pisani 2009;Trevino et al 2010;Werner 2002;Werner and Brouthers 2002).…”

“…The adjusted contribution takes into account the number of different co-authors in an article; therefore, it is adjusted according to that portion of the article attributable to the scholar/institution alone. Following prior research (e.g., Knight, Hult, & Bashaw, 2000;Kumar & Kundu, 2004;, Treviño, Mixon, Funk, & Inkpen, 2010, if an article was co-authored by more than one author from the same institution, then the institution was credited with one appearance (total or adjusted) per author, and if an author listed multiple institutional affiliations, full credit (total or adjusted) was given to each institution; and finally, no distinction was made regarding the order of appearance of scholars.…”
