Studies centered around static models of market entry strategies, such as simple export or licensing arrangements, are less prevalent, as the focus has shifted to dynamic and multifaceted approaches. - Conventional Risk Management Frameworks:
Research that relied heavily on conventional risk management frameworks without considering the complexities of political and social contexts appears to be waning in favor of more integrated approaches. - Diminished Focus on Non-MNCs:
There is a decreasing emphasis on the strategies and behaviors of non-multinational firms in global contexts, as the journal increasingly concentrates on MNCs and their unique challenges. - Limited Exploration of Non-Western Perspectives:
