Multinational enterprise (MNE) location decisions are central to international business (IB) scholarship and research shows that global cities are key MNE investment locations. Despite growing awareness of their importance to MNEs, most literature on global cities resides outside the IB domain. To provide IB scholars with a foundation to advance global city research, we conduct a multi-disciplinary review of top journal articles organized into three themes: the nature of global cities, MNE strategic decisions in global cities, and outcomes of MNE investment in global cities. We use this framework to synthesize findings, discuss theoretical implications, and provide future research directions.

跨国企业（MNE）的选址决策是国际商业（IB）奖学金的核心，研究表明，全球城市是重要的MNE投资地点。尽管人们越来越意识到它们对跨国公司的重要性，但有关全球城市的大多数文献都位于IB领域之外。为了为IB学者们提供基础，以推动全球城市研究，我们对顶级期刊文章进行了多学科综述，分为三个主题：全球城市的本质，跨国公司在全球城市中的战略决策以及跨国公司在全球城市中的投资成果。我们使用此框架来综合发现，讨论理论含义并提供未来的研究方向。
