Purpose

The rise of the global economy has been an essential element in the international business (IB) agenda since the 1980s, and the topic of globalisation has not failed to captivate the attention of IB researchers and practitioners alike. Globalisation has impacted on such diverse issues as trade relations, geopolitical boundaries, social class, human rights, environmental commitments, religion, ethnicity, sovereignty and conservation of culture. The purpose of this paper is to provide an analysis of the current state of IB research on the topic of globalisation and to guide researchers who are new to IB research as to which journals and authors to consult when studying this phenomenon.

Design/methodology/approach

The paper presents a bibliometric analysis using the Web of Science database. A multiple correspondence analysis provides a map of keywords and authors, as well as a framework to track the globalisation literature over the 26-year period, 1993–2018.

Findings

The findings identify several fundamental themes and significant gaps in the extant literature; the most alarming gap centres around the effect of globalisation on social issues and, consequently, the rise of the anti-globalisation crusaders.

Research limitations/implications

The literature review produced 529 articles listed only in the Web of Science Core Collection in the period 1993–2018.

Practical implications

A distinctive contribution of this study is that it investigates the intersection between globalisation and IB. This paper seeks to expose the intellectual structure of globalisation research, identify existing and emerging themes of globalisation research and discuss future research streams.

Social implications

The findings show the rise of the globalisation sceptic and reveal the mounting concerns regarding the unequal benefits of globalisation.

Originality/value

There are two key benefits of this review. First, the theory extends by identifying a swing from an alignment with the transformationalist theory to sceptical theory. Second, the review has the potential to guide scholars on precisely what needs to be explored in IB globalisation research.

1993-2018 年国际商业研究中的全球化分析:怀疑论者的兴起

目的

自 1980 年代以来,全球经济的兴起一直是国际商务 (IB) 议程中的重要组成部分,全球化的话题也引起了 IB 研究人员和从业人员的注意。全球化对贸易关系、地缘政治边界、社会阶层、人权、环境承诺、宗教、种族、主权和文化保护等多种问题产生了影响。本文的目的是对 IB 全球化主题研究的现状进行分析,并指导刚接触 IB 研究的研究人员在研究这一现象时应咨询哪些期刊和作者。

设计/方法/方法

该论文使用 Web of Science 数据库进行了文献计量分析。多重对应分析提供了关键字和作者的地图,以及跟踪 1993 年至 2018 年 26 年间全球化文献的框架。

发现

调查结果确定了现有文献中的几个基本主题和重大差距;最令人震惊的差距集中在全球化对社会问题的影响以及由此产生的反全球化斗士的兴起。

研究限制/影响

文献综述产生了 1993-2018 年期间仅在 Web of Science 核心合集中列出的 529 篇文章。

实际影响

这项研究的一个显着贡献是它调查了全球化和国际文凭组织之间的交叉点。本文旨在揭示全球化研究的知识结构,确定全球化研究的现有和新兴主题,并讨论未来的研究流。

社会影响

调查结果显示了全球化怀疑论者的兴起,并揭示了对全球化不平等利益的日益增长的担忧。

原创性/价值

本次审查有两个主要好处。首先,该理论通过确定从与转型主义理论的一致到怀疑理论的转变来扩展。其次,该评论有可能指导学者准确地了解 IB 全球化研究中需要探索的内容。
