metadata.value: The field of international business is constantly evolving, and there is much debate about what
  exactly constitutes international business and how its definition influences theorizing. Traditionally
  international business has focused on cross-border activities of multinational enterprises,
  including foreign direct investment, multinational enterprises’ strategies, and organization, along
  with the understanding of the process of internationalization. Changes in the global environment
  have necessitated a broader, multidisciplinary approach to international business theorizing.
  This paper explores how international business emerged as a field of inquiry and how the
  interrelated fields such as international management, international entrepreneurship, and international
  strategy can inform international business theorizing. A more complementary approach
  would be beneficial rather than treating these fields as distinct ones. Moreover, this paper recognizes
  the complex nature of the global environment and highlights the myriad of challenges and
  opportunities it presents for businesses operating internationally. It proposes a future research
  agenda that considers this intricate global context, and challenges international business scholars
  to adopt a holistic and multidisciplinary approach to develop comprehensive theories that capture
  the dynamic and interconnected nature of the complex global business environment.
