International Business in the Information and Digital Age (13th Volume) – eBook

Description

This 13th Volume of International Business in the Information and Digital Age (ePub/PDF) pays tribute to Lorraine Eden, whose lifetime achievements have profoundly shaped the field of International Business (IB). Over the years, her extensive research has engaged with interdisciplinary and societal issues central to the evolution of IB scholarship. The opening chapter of this thirteenth volume chronicles her intellectual journey, intricately tied to the emergence of the 4th Industrial Revolution.

In this pivotal volume of the PIBR series, we delve into a critical domain of research that is redefining how scholars perceive the role of multinational enterprises (MNEs) in the dynamic digital and information age. While a select few MNEs currently hold a dominant position within this landscape, virtually every business operating internationally is influenced by ongoing digital trends. How can firms develop robust international business models? What mechanisms can they employ to navigate and adapt to these trends? How should regulations evolve in response? The digital age presents unparalleled opportunities along with significant challenges for both established and emerging MNEs.

This volume features a curated collection of papers authored by eminent IB scholars, as well as contributions from experts in related fields such as economic geography, international relations, political science, strategic management, and technology studies. Together, they provide a comprehensive examination of the contemporary issues and innovations shaping the international business environment.

Four critical dimensions of the information and digital age are rigorously explored through the lens of International Business:

• • Industry 4.0: Understanding technological advancements and their implications
  • Trends and Theories in the Information Age: Analyzing how digital transformation is reshaping business models and strategies
  • Functional Strategies in the Information Age: Exploring operational adjustments in a rapidly evolving marketplace
  • Entrepreneurial Strategies in the Information Age: Crafting innovative approaches for new ventures and startups
