Trending and Emerging
- Digital Transformation and Technology Adoption:

There is an increasing emphasis on behavioral insights, including emotional intelligence and decision-making processes, particularly in leadership roles and their effects on organizational outcomes. - Sustainable Practices and Green Management:
The integration of sustainability into business strategy is gaining attention, with research exploring how organizations can implement green practices and CSR initiatives effectively in international contexts. - Cross-Cultural Leadership Dynamics:
Studies examining the complexities of leadership in multicultural teams and the influence of cultural intelligence on team performance are becoming more prominent, reflecting the global nature of contemporary business environments. - Resilience and Adaptability in International Business:
The focus on organizational resilience and adaptability, especially in the context of crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic, is trending, with researchers exploring how businesses can effectively navigate uncertainty.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Models of Internationalisation:
Research that relies on traditional models of internationalisation, such as the Uppsala model, has become less prevalent as new frameworks that emphasize dynamic capabilities and rapid internationalization of startups gain traction. - Static Cultural Comparisons:
Studies that conduct static comparisons of cultural dimensions without considering the evolving nature of culture in business contexts are becoming less common, replaced by more nuanced analyses that incorporate cultural dynamics. - Focus on Single-Nation Studies:
There has been a noticeable decrease in studies focusing solely on single-nation contexts, with researchers increasingly opting for comparative studies that examine cross-national dynamics and the impact of globalization. - Sector-Specific Analyses:
Research that remains narrowly focused on specific sectors without a broader international perspective is declining, as there is a growing preference for interdisciplinary approaches that integrate various sectors and contexts. - Historical Analyses of International Business:
The popularity of historical analyses concerning international business practices has waned, giving way to more forward-looking studies that address current challenges and future trends.
