Abstract

This study presents an overview of emerging themes in the international business research. We analyze the special issues in two leading IB journals between 2015 and 2021—Journal of International Business Studies and Journal of World Business—to identify the themes that journal editors and thought leaders consider as important areas for future scholarship. Based on the content analysis of the special issue calls, we identify the research questions posed by the SI editors, the main theoretical frameworks used, and the thematic and geographic focus in these special issues. Our analysis identifies new topics such as sustainability, global value chains, migration, digitization, and innovation while also suggesting revival of topics such as globalization and regionalization in the light of a surge in anti-globalization trends.
