Abstract

Process research develops our understanding of the emergence, flow, and evolution of phenomena over time through ongoing activities and events. The field of international business has long been concerned with developing an understanding of various kinds of processes over time. Yet, several international business scholars have called for more studies that recognize the process-based nature of international business phenomena. This paper therefore discusses the challenges of process research in international business and offers insight into how they may be addressed. We draw on the broader methodological literature and on exemplar process studies in international business to explore and illustrate a repertoire of methodological tools that may be useful in assembling the three critical ingredients of high-quality process research: rich process data, insightful process theory, and credible but creative coupling between the two.

在国际商务中开展流程研究
随着时间的推移,我们通过持续的活动和事件,对现象的出现、流动和演变有了更深入的了解。长期以来,国际商务领域一直致力于加深对各种过程的理解。然而,一些国际商务学者呼吁开展更多研究,以认识国际商务现象基于过程的本质。因此,本文讨论了国际商务过程研究面临的挑战,并就如何应对这些挑战提出了见解。我们借鉴了更广泛的方法论文献和国际商务中的流程研究范例,探索并说明了一套方法论工具,这些工具可能有助于汇集高质量流程研究的三个关键要素:丰富的流程数据、有洞察力的流程理论以及两者之间可信但有创意的结合。
