Calls for Papers

MULTILEVEL EMPIRICAL RESEARCH IN INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS

Submissions are requested for a Special Issue of Journal of International Business Studies.

This special issue seeks to promote and shape the future direction for multilevel quantitative research in the field of international business. Multilevel research investigates phenomena at several levels of analysis - such as individuals, groups or subsidiaries, firms, networks or business groups, industries or organization sets, and countries and regions - to illuminate the multiple causes or consequences of behaviors at and across these levels. This allows us to better analyze international business actions within a comprehensive and integrative framework.
