NEW DIRECTIONS IN INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS

Rather than focusing on a distinct piece of international business research, this chapter tries to capture the views put forward by Peter Buckley, John Dunning and George Yip, three leading figures in the field, during a panel session at the 32nd Annual Conference of the Academy of International Business (UK Chapter) held at the University of Bath. This panel session was designed to focus on continuity and change in the themes and methods of research in international business and, in particular, to look forward at the emerging issues in the field.
