Research Summary: This paper argues for, and contributes
to, a stronger integration of research on finance and
international business/global strategy. We perform bibliometric
analysis of journal publications between 2010 and
2016 and show that papers published in the two domains
relate to very different underlying literatures which, so far,
have had a limited overlap. We further argue based on a
qualitative review of the literature that both fields offer substantial
novel perspectives, models, and theories to each
other that have the potential to enrich our theoretical understanding
of relevant research questions in both domains. We
map various pathways for further integration of international
business/global strategy and finance fields and discuss different
ways how to better connect the two fields and their
different research perspectives and research methodologies.
Managerial Summary: In this paper we, first, find that
publications from the field of finance and from the area of
international business/global strategy relate to very different
literatures. Second, we show that both fields would
indeed offer substantial and relevant novel perspectives to
each other. Third, we develop various pathways for a more
intense integration of both literatures. Given the relevance
of both international business/global strategy and finance
perspectives for business practice, we strongly believe that
a more intense integration also bears substantial implications
for managers. This is as much of the knowledge
developed in international business/global strategy and
finance did not fully transfer into the respective other field.
