Short description:

The information and digital age is shaped by a small number of multinational enterprises from a limited number of countries. This volume covers the latest insight from the International Business discipline on prevailing trends in business model evolution. It also discusses critical issues of regulation in the new information and digital space.

Long description:

This volume is dedicated to Lorraine Eden for her
lifetime contributions to IB scholarship. Her research, spanning several
decades, has addressed many interdisciplinary and societal themes at the heart
of the IB field. The story of her intellectual journey -- strongly influenced by
the coming of age of the fourth industrial revolution -- is shared in the opening chapter
of this volume.

This thirteenth volume in the PIBR series covers an increasingly important
area of research for International Business (IB) scholars: the role of
multinational enterprises (MNEs) in the digital and information age. A limited
number of MNEs now dominate the landscape of the digital age, but almost all
internationally operating firms are being affected by prevailing trends. How to
take stock of these trends? How to develop resilient international business
models? How to regulate? The digital age presents new opportunities but also
major challenges for established and emerging MNEs alike.

This volume brings together papers from leading IB scholars and from academics in adjacent disciplines such as economic geography,
international relations and political science, strategic management, and
technology studies.

Four dimensions of the information and digital age are analyzed using an IB angle:

Trends and theories in the information age

Entrepreneurial strategies in the information
age

Functional strategies in the information age

Industry 4.0

This volume compiles 16 chapters on the interaction between multinational enterprises and the information and digital age and new opportunities and challenges that the information and digital age have created for multinational enterprises. Researchers from Brazil, Europe, the US, and China address trends, conceptualizations, and theoretical developments related to international production, information and communication technologies, and the effects of global connectivity on knowledge complexity; entrepreneurial strategies like blockchain ventures, e-commerce usage, internationalization strategies of Chinese digital platform firms, and business-to-business social media; aspects related to employees, services, and value chains, including smart services and additive manufacturing; and the regulatory context and its impact on the internationalization strategies of companies, clusters, and networks, such as Amazon and Alibaba, Italian companies, and science parks.
