Produktbeschreibung

To what extent is it a useful tool from the perspective of, for instance, trade theory, finance, evolutionary economics, resource based theory or strategic management? Can it be utilised to explain new developments in international business and economics? Do these require new ideas and concepts to be integrated within the eclectic paradigm? What are the new challenges to which international business theorising must respond? This volume includes contributions by leading scholars from a variety of perspectives, disciplines and subject areas in international business, and represents the state-of-the-art in international business theory.

The eclectic paradigm has arguably become the dominant theoretical basis in the study of FDI, multinational corporations and internationalisation over the last two decades. The contributions to this volume evaluate the eclectic paradigm in the global economy and its validity as a theoretical basis to understand developments such as economic globalization and the subsequent growth of global and alliance capitalism.
