Ongoing Special Section: "The State of the Art in International Management"
The aim of this special section is to describe the state of the art in international management. Emphasis will be
placed on the theories that support research in this area. To improve research quality, the focus is usually on
method and empirical practices, although some methodological problems derive from the characteristics of the
area itself and the theory that supports experiments.
This special section is devoted to analysing, classifying and studying developments in the predominant
theoretical frameworks in international management. The focus is on addressing the main issues of international
management (why and how companies internationalise). Are these perspectives linked to special methods
(quantitative vs. qualitative)? Do discrepancies in the main issues in this area depend on methodology and
theory?
This special section targets international management scholars.
Subject Coverage
Suitable topics include, but are not limited, to the following:
• Review of status and advances in international management theories
• Literature classification and trend analysis
• Review of emerging complementary theoretical frameworks in international management

• New criticisms of international management; values, principles and prejudices underlying international
management theories
• The role of theory in the development of the research agenda
• Meta-analyses of the most relevant problems addressed by researchers
