Although traditional literature often portrays these logics as inherently conflicting, emphasizing the trade‐offs ASOs must manage, recent empirical findings challenge this view, suggesting that integrating academic and business logics can be beneficial. This paper presents a systematic review of the ASO literature, leveraging the concept of duality to explore the dynamic interplay between academic and business logics. The duality perspective underscores the importance of considering both complementarities and oppositions between seemingly incompatible logics. By synthesizing existing empirical findings, we propose a framework that clarifies how the oppositions and complementarities between academic and business logics influence ASOs’ academic and business outcomes. Our framework highlights the need for more nuanced, dynamic and multilevel approaches in studying ASOs, offering future research directions that embrace the duality perspective. This integrative view aims to inspire further investigation into hybrid ventures, illustrating how economic and non‐economic logics can jointly foster both non‐economic and economic outcomes.","PeriodicalId":48326,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management Reviews","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143905816","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on a review of 40 articles, we inductively developed an analytical framework comprising four key elements: international knowledge, international knowledge agents, IKT processes and outcomes. Our review identifies three dominant types of international knowledge agents in IE: returnee entrepreneurs, transnational entrepreneurs and international corporate entrepreneurs who actively engage in IKT. Three distinctive IKT processes emerge: one‐way knowledge transfer, two‐way knowledge transfer and interactive knowledge transfer, which result in outcomes at individual, organisational, regional and national levels, as well as at their intersections. Guided by this framework, we identify and analyse key research themes, highlighting main methodological and theoretical approaches, and revealing significant gaps and inconsistencies. Our paper advances knowledge on IKT via IE by developing an integrated framework that provides conceptual clarity and a cohesive understanding of this intentional, systematic, outcome‐oriented process. Our analytical framework facilitates the identification of future research directions along the dimensions of 5Cs: complementarity of knowledge, (re‐)contextualisation of knowledge, connectivity of knowledge, community capitalism and cross‐disciplinary research.","PeriodicalId":48326,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management Reviews","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143875696","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, insights and evidence are dispersed across levels of analysis and disciplinary perspectives, making it difficult to determine how exactly MNEs respond to geopolitics. Leveraging a sample of 97 papers from journals in strategy, international business and management, we clarify the impact of geopolitics on home and host country relations and the interplay with MNE strategic decision‐making. In advancing existing knowledge boundaries, we make sense of MNE responses to geopolitically induced uncertainty by accounting for MNEs’ heterogeneous political capabilities and investment real options. We show that when MNEs have strong political capabilities, they often opt for a shaping engagement response to influence home–host country relations. However, weak political capabilities limit investments with flexible real options and restrict investments with committed real options, leading to adaptive engagement, non‐engagement and exit responses. Finally, we outline an agenda for future studies on the topic.","PeriodicalId":48326,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management Reviews","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143847072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While digital transformation has garnered substantial attention in the context of startups, large established organisations face unique challenges in balancing existing capabilities with adopting new digital capacities. This research sheds light on how large established organisations navigate the interplay between change and stability during digital transformation by employing a dynamic capabilities framework. Through a systematic literature review of 123 articles from leading journals, the research categorises large established organisations dynamic capabilities into four domains: performance, leadership, governance and structure. The findings reveal that for each domain, large established organisations encounter a range of dilemmas during digital transformation. The study highlights the need for large established organisations to address these dilemmas and operationalise digital transformation effectively. By offering a comprehensive perspective on these challenges, the study provides valuable guidance for researchers and managers seeking to navigate the complexities of digital transformation in established organisations. The paper concludes by outlining potential directions for future research in this evolving field.","PeriodicalId":48326,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management Reviews","volume":"72 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143744983","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, previous literature has offered multiple, often divergent interpretations of the role of design in entrepreneurship. For example, studies have highlighted the benefits of adopting design thinking practises in entrepreneurial endeavours, using design science as a research method for studying entrepreneurship and treating entrepreneurial opportunities as design artefacts that entrepreneurs can shape. Although this multitude of perspectives reflects the conceptual richness of design, it simultaneously complicates the accumulation of scholarly understanding. To address this issue, we have conducted a systematic literature review, uncovering the philosophical assumptions underpinning different interpretations of design in entrepreneurship: (i) design as ontology (entrepreneurship as design), (ii) design as epistemology (entrepreneurship research as design research), (iii) design as phenomenology (entrepreneurship as a means to design), (iv) design as logic (entrepreneurship by design) and (v) design as methodology (entrepreneurship through design). Further, we have identified five modes of enquiry that can guide future studies of design in entrepreneurship. The resulting interpretive framework contributes to entrepreneurship theory and practise by providing a foundation for more conscious and systematic research on design in entrepreneurship.","PeriodicalId":48326,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management Reviews","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143736625","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These dynamic and loosely coupled ecosystems facilitate collaboration and innovation among firms, customers, suppliers, and partners. While research on digital transformation (DT) has often focused on internal firm changes, the influence of DEs on the set of capabilities at the ecosystem, partner, and focal firm levels remains underexplored. This paper addresses this gap by adopting a dynamic capabilities (DCs) framework to investigate which capabilities are required by a firm engaging in DEs. Through a systematic literature review, we identify 17 DCs essential for firms to adapt to ecosystem‐based interactions. Our findings reveal that success in DEs requires firms to co‐create and co‐deliver value through new capabilities that leverage data, foster coopetition, and align operations with the broader ecosystem. We propose a multi‐level framework that highlights the critical role of interfirm collaboration and offers actionable insights for firms navigating increasingly interconnected digital environments. Lastly, we present five future research directions that address gaps at different levels of ecosystem research.","PeriodicalId":48326,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management Reviews","volume":"97 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143678048","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Field governance determines the formal and informal rules of a field, defining membership boundaries and core practices. Prior research has mostly studied the establishment of top‐down regulations or the work of advocacy and social movement organisations to influence or overthrow existing regimes. We review 147 previously disconnected articles on field governance and institutional work and identify interactional governing activities (IGAs), the concept we advance and define as the strategic and interactional activities actors deploy to develop, disrupt and maintain field governance. Depending on field conditions, we propose that actors combine IGAs in various interaction modes to either oppose the existing order, lobby for change or collaborate to jointly develop field governance. We contribute to the scholarly understanding of field governance development by proposing a continuous process that extends beyond influencing regulatory decision‐making to include knowledge‐building and interactional infrastructure‐development activities. Our study provides novel insights on collaborative institutional work for field governance co‐development by heterogeneous actors. By defining and categorising IGAs, we contribute to both a more integrative theoretical understanding of field governance as well as a playbook for practitioners, collective interest organisations and regulators engaged in field‐building work.","PeriodicalId":48326,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management Reviews","volume":"53 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143071561","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To achieve these goals, they collaborate with various organizations, including universities, to extend their internal resources and capabilities, thereby scaling their efforts. However, inconsistent results and vague theoretical conclusions harbour ambiguity and a lack of paradigmatic analysis, hindering scholars’ ability to integrate and advance insights and harness the full potential of SME‐university collaboration for impactful outcomes. Our systematic literature review addresses these issues by providing a comprehensive and up‐to‐date understanding of the literature on SME‐university collaboration. Our review encompasses 145 peer‐reviewed publications from 1981 to 2023, showcasing the diversity of research regarding journal outlets, publication timelines, methodologies, empirical contexts, theoretical lenses, and themes. Our review reveals three paradigmatic collaboration logics: technology transfer, knowledge co‐development, and value co‐creation. We analyse and synthesize these insights to propose an overarching conceptual framework for theorizing SME‐university collaborations and supporting future research. We combine these to articulate theoretical and policy implications and present a future research agenda.","PeriodicalId":48326,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management Reviews","volume":"86 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142884379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Deceptive signalling is an everyday phenomenon that hurts investors, consumers and high-quality ventures alike, leading to resource misallocation and market inefficiencies. It is also a challenge for researchers interested in signalling theory, as deceptive signalling defies signalling theory's predictions, leading to ambiguity regarding if and how deceptive signals should be analysed from a signalling theory perspective. Research on deceptive signalling has accumulated, yet it is scattered across disciplines and discourses, which hampers our ability to understand the phenomenon and obstructs progress in signalling theory. To mitigate this state of affairs, this paper provides a cross-disciplinary integrative review, systematizing extant research on deceptive signalling, developing suggestions for the integration of deceptive signalling into signalling theory and outlining a research agenda on currently unresolved questions in signalling research pertaining to deceptive signalling. Developing a better understanding of deceptive signalling seems particularly pressing as recent advances in AI technologies, which reduce the detectability of deceptive signals as well as the costs for producing such signals, will presumably lead to an exacerbation of deceptive signalling problems.","PeriodicalId":48326,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management Reviews","volume":"27 2","pages":"283-305"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ijmr.12392","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142841987","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although researchers acknowledge the importance of stakeholders and networks as co-creators of SME brands, a comprehensive conceptualisation of SME brand co-creation remains lacking. The current study addresses this gap by combining systematic literature searches with a cumulative narrative review. By analysing 136 journal articles using brand co-creation and process theory lenses, the study identifies two SME brand co-creation eras—the initiation era and the advanced era—and categorises the research across these eras into three principal streams and eight sub-streams. Synthesising insights from across these eras and streams concludes in conceptualising SME brand co-creation in terms of concepts, developmental processes and causal processes, as well as introducing a framework called the SME brand co-creation research diamond. The framework visually illustrates the intertwined nature of authentic brand co-creation culture, co-creation types and outcomes from the viewpoints of concepts, developmental processes and causal processes, emphasising interactions with stakeholders and wider society. As the first to conceptualise SME brand co-creation, this study lays the groundwork for advancing the field into the expansion era. The study advises researchers to comprehend their work in a wider context, position their own research and further examine SME brand co-creation. It also assists SME owners, managers and entrepreneurs in recognising and developing aspects of brand co-creation culture and stakeholder and societal activities, along with their broader implications.","PeriodicalId":48326,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management Reviews","volume":"27 2","pages":"261-282"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ijmr.12391","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142815574","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
