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

“…the inclusion of these three established journals would enable better representation of IB research publications and thereby assist in generalizing various findings. Since the publication of study by Kumar and Kundu (2004), several studies have considered these three journals together when conducting ranking-based research of publications appearing in leading IB journals (Griffith et al 2008;Lahiri 2011;Quer et al 2007;Xu et al 2008). We acknowledge that iB research has permeated many other journals in addition to MiR, JiBs, and JWB and recent studies (e.g., trevino et al 2010) have adopted the approach of focusing on iB articles published in a range of premier business and management journals in their ranking of institutions and scholars.…”

“…in addition to total, raw or absolute counts, most recent ranking-based studies employ adjusted measures or counts that take into account over-crediting contributions by institutions and authors (coudounaris et al 2009;Lahiri 2011;Quer et al 2007;Xu et al 2008). For example, if two faculty members from the same institution contribute to a particular article, then the procedure for attaining total count would credit two points to the same institution.…”

“…The ranking is ordered first by the number of adjusted appearances, followed by the number of total appearances, as has been done in prior research (coudounaris et al 2009;Lahiri 2011;Xu et al 2008). …”

Relevant knowledge and recipient ownership: Chinese MNCS’ knowledge transfer in Africa

“…Many EMNCs, especially Chinese MNCs (CMNCs) are investing heavily in low-income emerging countries including those in Africa -targeting sectors most in need of development, including infrastructure, in ways that promote South-South investment flows (UNCTAD, 2015). Until now, the knowledge management of MNCs' moving into and out of emerging markets has been neglected in both KT and international business (IB) research (Lahiri, 2011;Peng et al, 2010). MNC engagement in Africa, in particular, remains "under-researched in the fields of management, organization studies, human resources and international business" (Kamoche, 2011, p. 1).…”

On the types of papers the Asia Pacific Journal of Management generally publishes

“…Recent review articles in APJM include Sun, Zhao, and Yang (2010) on executive compensation in Asia and Nakamura (2011) on governance in Japan. Also, some interesting reviews have been written on research in a focused research area such as foreign businesses in China (Yang, Tipton, & Li, 2011) and on a relatively new research site, such as India (Lahiri, 2011). Also for another firm performance-related review paper, see the forthcoming article in APJM on corporate boards and performance (van Essen, van Oosterhout, & Carney, 2012).…”
