Abstract

The purpose of this editorial, and the special issue, is to initiate a dialogue about the role of time in international business (IB) scholarship. While time is inherent in IB phenomena, it has, to date, received limited attention in IB research and theorizing. When IB scholars do account for time, they generally adhere to assumptions representing time as linear and objective. We discuss the importance of time in the philosophical, conceptual, and methodological domains of IB, defining each of these three interconnected domains, problematizing their dominant assumptions about time, and suggesting potential avenues for rethinking time in IB.

时间很重要：重新思考时间在国际商务的哲学、概念和方法论领域中的作用

这篇社论和这期特刊的目的是就时间在国际商务（IB）学术研究中的作用展开对话。虽然时间是国际商务现象所固有的，但迄今为止，它在国际商务研究和理论研究中受到的关注却很有限。当国际商务学者对时间进行论述时，他们通常会坚持将时间视为线性和客观的假设。我们讨论了时间在国际基础结构的哲学、概念和方法论领域中的重要性，定义了这三个相互关联的领域中的每一个，质疑了它们关于时间的主导假设，并提出了在国际基础结构中重新思考时间的潜在途径。

期刊介绍： The Journal of World Business holds a distinguished position as a leading publication within the realm of International Business. Rooted in a legacy dating back to 1965, when it was established as the Columbia Journal of World Business, JWB is committed to disseminating cutting-edge research that reflects significant advancements in the field. The journal actively seeks submissions that propel new theoretical frameworks and innovative perspectives on International Business phenomena. Aligned with its domain statement, submissions are expected to possess a clear multinational, cross-border, or international comparative focus, while remaining pertinent to the study of management and organizations. JWB particularly encourages submissions that challenge established theories or assumptions, presenting pioneering or counterintuitive findings. With an inclusive approach, the journal welcomes contributions from diverse conceptual and theoretical traditions, encompassing allied social sciences and behavioral sciences. Submissions should either develop new theories or rigorously test existing ones, employing a variety of qualitative, quantitative, or other methodological approaches. While JWB primarily caters to scholars and researchers, it values contributions that explore implications for Multinational Enterprises and their management, as well as ramifications for public policy and the broader societal role of business.
