Overview of the main issues addressed by the panel
Innovation underpins firms’ competitiveness and sustainable performance. For multinational enterprises (MNEs) which compete in global markets, innovation has long been recognized (see, for example, Vernon 1966) as essential not just to growth and success but fundamentally to survival (Papanastassiou et al., 2020). Innovations may be developed in-house and/or acquired externally through different forms of knowledge sourcing such as acquisitions, strategic...

Panel 3: The Present and Future of International Entrepreneurship Location: Susan Cadbury Lecture Theatre Chair: Dr Vahid Jafari-Sadeghi, Aston University, United Kingdom; International entrepreneurship represents a very lively research field and community of scholars. It is positioned at the crossroads between international business and entrepreneurship and contributes to the former providing a complementary perspective on the internationalization phenomenon. The year 2024 marks an important anniversary for this relatively young topic: 30 years since the publication of Oviatt & McDugall (1994) and 20 years since the publication of Knight & Cavusgil (2004), both on JIBS and both receiving the JIBS decade article award. In this panel, we ask what is the present and the future of a field which attracts many young scholars and is quite popular at international business conferences and journals? What is the state of this discipline today, disciplines which received so much attention from scholars and contributions as well as criticism? And what is its future? In many works, International Entrepreneurship is depicted as an outcome of globalization processes:...

Panel 4: Geopolitics, Globalisation and Economic Growth Location: Susan Cadbury Lecture Theatre Chair: Prof Suma Athreye, University of Essex, United Kingdom; Geopolitics has been a crucial driver of globalization and growth throughout history, a fact that has often been overlooked by international business scholars who have traditionally viewed globalization as an open opportunity for all capable firms and supportive governments. However, historical patterns show that modern globalization has thrived under unequal power regimes, with the dominance of Britain and later the United States, which facilitated global economic integration through initiatives like the Marshall Plan and support for countries like South Korea to counterbalance influences from Russia and China. This historical context highlights that opportunities for globalization and growth have been unevenly distributed, often favoring geopolitical allies of dominant powers. Recent empirical studies suggest that sustained growth is less about liberal trade policies and more about how states align their policies with the interests of multinational enterprises (MNEs), with the...
