“…The main journals that publish research on family business topics were selected following previous literature reviews in the field (Kontinen & Ojala, 2010a; Siebels & zu Knyphausen-Aufseß, 2011; Zahra & Sharma, 2004). 5 For the selection of leading international business and international entrepreneurship journals, also recent literature reviews were checked (Jones, Coviello, & Tang, 2011; Prasad, Pisani, & Prasad, 2008). 6 This step was performed to ensure that no relevant article was missed.…”

This article systematically reviews and critically examines 72 journal articles published (from 1980 to 2012) on the internationalization of family firms. Stemming from existing literature, core aspects and main gaps are identified. We aim to overcome the inconclusiveness of findings of previous research by offering an integrative theoretical model integrating the concept of socioemotional wealth with the revised Uppsala model. Our framework helps understand behaviors of internationalizing family firms by focusing on when and how they internationalize, especially related to risk attitudes, the role of knowledge and networks. Ultimately, we provide future research themes flowing from our suggested model.

“…As organisations internationalise, international business and management will continue to try to assess their key practices and processes, although they have proved somewhat elusive; and hard-edged wisdom or clear bodies of evidence have been slow to materialise (Acedo & Casillas, 2005). The field even attracts some criticism, mainly for downplaying cultural clashes and preferring to adopt a Westernised economic perspective (Prasad, Pisani & Prasad, 2008).…”

“…A fundamental source of criticism is that mainstream IB research builds on the philosophical principles and methodological tools of functionalist positivism. This is understandable as many of the field's founding fathers in the 1960s and 1970s were economists (Prasad et al, 2008). However, IB research of this kind continues to be stubbornly resistant to meta-theoretical reflexivity about the knowledge it produces ( Jack et al, 2008).…”

Critical Perspectives on International Business

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Purpose – This paper aims to outline different views on international business (IB) as an academic discipline and looks into how IB scholars can cope with challenges to their disciplinary identity when stand-alone IB departments are merged with other departments such as management, marketing or strategy in business schools and universities. Design/methodology/approach – The article offers a critical reflection on the development and future of IB as a discipline. The two authors are an IB and a Management scholar, both of whom were engaged in recent departmental mergers at their respective business schools. While the authors do not analyze these particular mergers, their experiences are inevitably interwoven in the views they express. Findings – Mergers of stand-alone IB departments with other departments bring to light the nature of the IB discipline as a contested terrain. The article discusses how these structural changes challenge the disciplinary identity of IB scholars. It contributes, first, to discussions on the development of IB as a discipline and, second, to understanding identities and identification during major organizational change events in academia. Research limitations/implications – The authors suggest that the threat of marginalization of IB in the context of business schools and universities necessitates a move beyond the “big questions” debate to a critical self-examination and reflection on IB as a discipline and as a global scholarly community. Originality/value – The article offers a critical view on current processes and challenges related to IB as a discipline and an academic community.
