“…Some of the more well-known diaspora members include Mila Kunis who is of Ukrainian heritage and raised a large amount of money for Ukraine as well as Russian oligarchs living in the United Kingdom. Thus, more research is required on how the conflict is affecting their business practices (Pattit & Pattit, 2022). The sentiment toward the Ukrainian diaspora might be more positive as they have linkages to the invaded country.…”

The Ukraine and Russian conflict is one of the most pressing current global business issues. It has become a political and social issue that is influencing business practices around the world. While the topic is popular in the mainstream business press, there has been relatively little academic work on the topic. To address this gap, this article discusses the impact of the conflict on international business in terms of the perception by society about Ukrainian or Russian business activities. This means highlighting how a conflict can involve direct military intervention but also social interaction. This article reveals that there are many effects on global business stemming from the Ukraine–Russian conflict many of which are currently known, but others will be known in the future. Managerial implications are stated in the article that highlights the cultural and social impact of the crisis as well as future research suggestions for international business researchers that stress the importance of the conflict.

“…An illustrative example of controversy is the topic of the New Deal – a myriad of social policies proposed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in the USA with hopes of bolstering the economy. Traditional scholars may range from skeptical to hostile over the results, ideology and purpose of the New Deal (Pattit and Pattit, 2022), while more critical scholars may have a perspective that ranges from praise to suspicion (Hartt et al , 2020). The controversial division in management history mirrors the division that occurred in professional history a few decades ago (Novick, 1988).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine what qualities contributed to the durability of The Evolution of Management Thought (EMT) as a classic that provided scholars a grand narrative of management history for half a century. Specifically, this paper aspires to reveal how the EMT has overcome the boundedness of time over the past 50 years by being both timeless (signaling continuity/permanence) and historical (signaling change/contingency). Design/methodology/approach The authors analyze both the metaphorical (i.e. universal) and the historical (i.e. particular) meanings that the EMT authors have communicated over eight editions of the classic. Findings The authors found that Wren and Bedeian have managed to balance temporality and referentiality in the EMT by writing it as the “practical past” of management. The authors also found that the authors ensured the ongoing renewal of their classic by innovating it as an everlasting contemporary text. Originality/value This paper provides an original analysis of the EMT explaining why it is a “classic” of management history. The analysis presented in this paper reveals why this timeless work has been a singular touchstone that exemplifies the history of management discipline.

“…Lastly, also examples of theme 5, two articles address historical and ethical perspectives of pandemics. In Responding to Crisis: WW2, COVID‐19, and the Business School , Pattit and Katherina Pattit ( 2022 ) provide lessons from business school responses to World War II to advocate for a “best case” response to Covid‐19. The authors use the history of the Harvard Business School to provide lessons for how business schools can better prepare students for crises, and redefine the purpose of business schools, in the wake of COVID‐19.…”
