This fourteenth volume in the PIBR series is dedicated to Professor Peter Buckley, OBE, whose creative contributions to IB theory and practice over many decades are unmatched. His scientific oeuvre has continued to grow, both in depth and breadth, and reflects an evolving level of scholarly resilience that has kept pace with the increasing Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity (VUCA) characteristics of the modern environment of international business.The VUCA dimensions of the business environment that face both managers and policy makers are amplified by a wide variety of unpredictable social, economic, political and technological forces, such as: inter alia, the (post-great-recession) rise of populism; growing anti-European sentiment in the European Union; increasing protectionism; a slowdown in growth of emerging markets; the rise of the digital economy, and many more. These trends affect the competitive position of nations and firms.The present volume focuses on the threats and opportunities created by the VUCA-trends for multinational enterprises (MNEs), small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), and international new ventures (INVs), along the following five headings:IB scholarship in a VUCA world.New Perspectives on the Interplay between Firms and the Non-Market.New Governance Challenges in International Business.New Contexts for Newly Internationalizing Firms.Contemporary Management Perspectives in IB Research. 410 0$aProgress in international business research ;$vv. 14.$x1745-8862 606 $aInternational business enterprises 606 $aBusiness$xMathematical models 606 $aBusiness & Economics$xInternational$xGeneral$2bisacsh 606 $aInternational business$2bicssc 615 0$aInternational business enterprises. 615 0$aBusiness$xMathematical models. 615 7$aBusiness & Economics$xInternational$xGeneral. 615 7$aInternational business. 676 $a338.88 702 $avan Tulder$b Rob 702 $aVerbeke$b Alain 702 $aJankowska$b Barbara 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793854203321 996 $aInternational business in a VUCA world$93825937 997 $aUNINA
