  • 1.  International Strategy Defined

    Posted 03-09-2006 10:02

    Dear All, (apologies for cross-posting)

     

    I am in search of a source that CLEARLY DEFINES the domain of INTERNATIONAL STRATEGY. The domain statements of the Academy's BPS and IM divisions well articulate their respective focus, yet seem rather too broad in nature to answer the question of "What is international strategy". Whereas some articles clearly distinguish between what strategy is and what strategy is not (e.g. Hambrick and Fredrickson, 2001 AME; Porter, 1996 HBR), other articles set out to identify the big question in international business research (e.g. Peng, 2004; Buckley and Ghauri, 2004; Buckley, 2002, all in JIBS). However, I haven't come across a source that clearly defines international strategy.

     

    Thanks for your help!

    Daniel

    You might find the domain statement of the SMS Global Strategy Interest Group useful (http://www.smsweb.org/activities/interest_groups/index.html). Although it raises a new question (is global strategy equivalent to international strategy?) I find it more useful as a mindmap than the Academy's IM domain statement.

    Dear All, (apologies for cross-posting)



    I am in search of a source that CLEARLY DEFINES the domain of INTERNATIONAL STRATEGY. The domain statements of the Academy’s BPS and IM divisions well articulate their respective focus, yet seem rather too broad in nature to answer the question of “What is international strategy”. Whereas some articles clearly distinguish between what strategy is and what strategy is not (e.g. Hambrick and Fredrickson, 2001 AME; Porter, 1996 HBR), other articles set out to identify the big question in international business research (e.g. Peng, 2004; Buckley and Ghauri, 2004; Buckley, 2002, all in JIBS).
