How much does trust really matter? Some reflections on the significance and implications of Madhok's trust-based approachJournal of International Business Studies - - 2005
Silviya Svejenova
Madhok's 1995 article defined and developed a trust-based perspective on the stability of international joint ventures (IJVs). Proposing a shift in focus from ownership to relationship, and from governance form to process, the article emphasised the role of trust in holding IJVs together and the importance of considering the dynamics of inter-organisational collaboration.

The Uppsala model: Networks and micro-foundationsJournal of International Business Studies - Tập 51 - Trang 4-10 - 2019
Jan-Erik Vahlne, Jan Johanson
In our award-winning 2009 article, we further developed the model that we originally presented in 1977.

Those relationships have far-reaching consequences, especially in terms of opportunity recognition and d...... hiện toàn bộ
The Relationship Between Firm Size and Export Behavior RevisitedJournal of International Business Studies - Tập 25 - Trang 367-387 - 1994

In “Probing Theoretically into Central and Eastern Europe: Transactions, Resources, and Institutions,” we outlined the contributions of research in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) to theoretical debates in business research.

Methodological challenges and insights for future international business researchJournal of International Business Studies - Tập 54 Số 2 - Trang 219-232 - 2023
Herman Aguinis, Donald D. Bergh, José F. Molina‐Azorín
AbstractGiven the diverse, interdisciplinary, and multilevel nature of international business (IB) research, it is critical to address methodological challenges prior to data collection. Thus, we suggest that an ounce of methodological prevention is worth a pound of cure. We describe the following challenges: (1) researching an important ...... hiện toàn bộ
