Purpose

Realising the sustainable development goals (SDGs) will require substantial efforts from both governments, businesses, civil society and academic researchers. This paper aims to discuss the contributions that the international business (IB) discipline can make to promoting the SDGs.

Design/methodology/approach

The paper is conceptual.

Findings

The authors argue that IB can contribute to promoting the SDGs, given IB’s expertise on the multinational enterprise (MNE) and knowledge that is relevant to the international dimensions that most SDGs have. However, paradigmatic features of IB such as a focus on firm-level financial performance and on the MNE as an organisation, and dominance of quantitative methods, may presently restrict the discipline’s contributions to the SDGs.

Originality/value

The authors present a set of recommendations for IB research on the SDGs, many of which imply an extension of the boundaries of the current IB paradigm.

国际商业研究如何为可持续发展目标做出贡献?

目的

实现可持续发展目标 (SDG) 需要政府、企业、民间社会和学术研究人员双方的巨大努力。本文旨在讨论国际商务 (IB) 学科可以为促进可持续发展目标做出的贡献。

设计/方法/方法

这篇论文是概念性的。

发现

作者认为,鉴于 IB 在跨国企业 (MNE) 方面的专业知识以及与大多数 SDGs 所拥有的国际层面相关的知识,IB 可以为促进 SDGs 做出贡献。然而,IB 的典型特征,例如关注公司层面的财务业绩和作为一个组织的跨国企业,以及定量方法的主导地位,目前可能会限制该学科对可持续发展目标的贡献。

原创性/价值

作者针对可持续发展目标的 IB 研究提出了一系列建议,其中许多建议扩展了当前 IB 范式的边界。
