The Discipline of International Business comprises a diverse team whose world-standard research addresses the challenges of globalisation providing solutions for business.

About us

With researchers from Bulgaria, China, Denmark, Germany, India, Mexico, the Philippines, Poland, and the United States as well as Australia, we are a diverse discipline with an international focus. We publish frequently in leading international refereed journals such as the Journal of International Business Studies, the Journal of World Business and Harvard Business Review.

The scope of our work reflects the inextricable link between the dynamics of international business and the economic, regulatory, political and cultural frameworks within which business operates.
