“…3 had been named so, and the documents with the highest burst in Figure 10 had also reflected on this issue. From the analyses and the cases mentioned, it was concluded that the existence of a flexible strategy (as a model or roadmap) along with innovation resources to facilitate and accelerate the process of internationalization had received much attention in recent years as a necessity, this importance has been precisely emphasized byDu et al (2022) and Evers et al (2023), and they have also stated that international trade literature has seen a rapid growth of studies and despite this increase in research, the collection Knowledge about BMI and internationalization remains largely fragmented, thus putting theoretical and empirical advances in this field at risk. Although past studies on BMI have multiplied in the mainstream business literature, none have been conducted in the context of international business.…”

Purpose The varying nature of the competitive environment of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), contributing significantly to gross domestic product in most countries, has made their moving toward internationalization and global competition unavoidable in such a way that the life cycle of research in this area is experiencing a period of rapid growth. This study aims to evaluate the status of research on SME internationalization based on bibliographic records retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection and Scopus. Design/methodology/approach Using a scientometric analysis, reviewing the important points and the boundaries of research on SME internationalization as well as practicing co-occurrence and burst detection analysis. Findings Through a rigorous examination of the crucial points and boundaries within the realm of SMEs internationalization research, coupled with an analysis of co-occurrence and burst detection techniques to detect contemporary hotbed topics, this study has uncovered that the predominant focus of current discourse centers around the areas of networks and networking, as well as internationalization models and entry into the global arena. Moreover, it gives insight that future investigations will shift toward enhancing SME internationalization performance, while simultaneously prioritizing the expeditiousness of their entrance into international markets. The insights garnered from this inquiry are expected to facilitate salient contributions to future literature in this area, thereby advancing our understanding of these complex phenomena. Practical implications The trend of the research in this field can be useful for enthusiasts. In this context, the life cycle of research on SME internationalization has been drawn that shows the period of research growth of publications is almost between 2005 and 2023, and the saturation will be approximately from 2023 to 2035. The top researching SME internationalization in the world have been occurred in the USA, England, Canada, Sweden countries and in Department of Management, Department of Marketing, School of Management, Faculty of Management Studies institutions. Also, most of the research has been published in Journal of International Business Studies, International Business Review and Strategic Management Journal. Originality/value This study accordingly provided a valuable perspective for future research in this line.

“…Instead of the systematic literature review method, which seems to embody qualitative positivism (see Evers et al, 2023, for an example), we employed a qualitative content analysis method. Our methodological approach aligns with our critical realism philosophical position and may be described as a directed qualitative content analysis method.…”

The collaboration between artificial intelligence (AI) and humans is reshaping international business (IB) management dynamics, aiming to achieve global sustainable development. Recent IB literature indicates that managing AI brings benefits such as better resource reconfiguration, reduced transaction costs, and global sustainable development. However, existing IB literature provides only meager knowledge about the characteristics of AI and how these characteristics can be employed for international expansion at the intersection of sustainable development. In response, our aim is to construct these characteristics by employing directed qualitative content analysis of empirical AI research. Based on our three constructed characteristics of AI, we contribute to current IB literature by providing a framework to balance economic and social goals and utilizing AI for global sustainable development. Further, we provide future IB research themes to guide IB and AI research toward achieving a sustainable production and consumption agenda.

“…Following best practices (e.g., Tranfield et al 2003;Parida et al 2019;Evers et al 2023), the current state of knowledge was assessed using a two-step procedure. In gathering and reporting the key aspects of each article, the following categories, A descriptive analysis was performed from these tables to "compare and assess the overall strength of the selected literature for review" (Evers et al 2023, p. 4).…”

“…Following previous research (e.g., Schilke et al 2018;Evers et al 2023), the selected studies are analyzed by assessing the current state of knowledge along five lines of inquiry: (1) How are DMCs defined, and which theories/concepts are integrated (theoretical/conceptual background)? (2) At which level and hierarchical echelon are DMCs investigated (level of analysis)?…”

Looking back to look forward: a systematic review of and research agenda for dynamic managerial capabilities

Given the complexities of today’s hypercompetitive economy and challenges imposed by recent crises, managerial capabilities have become critical for realizing strategic change. Dynamic managerial capability (DMC) theory offers a useful theoretical lens for analyzing how managers make strategic decisions to build and sustain competitive advantages in dynamic environments. Despite receiving less attention than the broader field of dynamic capabilities, the existing body of research has reached a point where a comprehensive synthesis of the current state of knowledge is warranted. Past reviews of DMCs are either outdated or do not comprehensively examine this multifaceted construct, making a review of research highly necessary and timely. This review systematically synthesizes 54 empirical studies on DMCs. It contributes to the literature by systematically synthesizing DMC research and summarizing these findings into a multi-level framework. This review demonstrates that research on DMCs has significantly progressed over the years, for example, through conceptual expansions, new levels of analysis, or methodological advancements. The developed framework provides an overview of the nomological network surrounding DMCs. A systematic historical analysis of research limitations and recommendations offers a rich research agenda for DMCs. These findings guide scholars and managers by overviewing the foundations of DMCs, demonstrating why strong DMCs are critical for achieving sustainable competitive advantage, and how this theory applies to management practice. Altogether, this review presents an up-to-date review of DMC literature by systematically synthesizing its developments—looking back—and pointing to central research opportunities—looking forward.
