The circular business model (CBM) transition—shifting from linear to CBMs—is complex, and our initial analysis of the literature indicated that organizations do not know how to implement circular principles alongside existing business models. In practice, the parallel management of two business models creates tensions between exploring new circular initiatives and exploiting established linear practices. By systematically reviewing research on organizational learning and business model innovation, this review proposes a theoretical model that frames the CBM transition as a dynamic, iterative and experiential process, turning tensions into synergies through continuous learning and adaptation. Our review reveals learning‐based strategies for organizations to address these inherent tensions at multiple levels, including employees’ cognitions, organizational operations and network legitimization. Furthermore, we set a future research agenda for the CBM transition.","PeriodicalId":48326,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management Reviews","volume":"93 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.1,"publicationDate":"2026-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147744066","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}

MNEs perform diverse roles by either shaping or complying with these rules. In this study, we adopt an international business‐centric perspective to systematically review 257 articles and develop a conceptual framework to advance the understanding of MNEs’ sustainability governance in GSCs. Beyond displaying governance rules and MNE roles within a unified framework, this study makes three key contributions. First, we propose a novel conceptualization of the paths through which rules‐in‐use shape MNE roles and how these roles reinforce the original rules. Second, we discuss how MNEs can enhance and hinder the social and environmental sustainability of GSCs. Consequently, we offer insights into the inconsistent literature on how MNEs bridge the gap between sustainability discourse and concrete actions in GSCs. Third, we theorize that social acceptance, local integration and institutional adaptation enable MNEs’ roles to interact across governance sectors.","PeriodicalId":48326,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management Reviews","volume":"114 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.1,"publicationDate":"2026-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147597860","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}

Previous research brought attention to the subjective and perceptual dimension of sustainable tourism, suggesting the importance of stakeholders’ perceptions in destination development. Place branding can interact with such perceptions, yet its role in advancing the sustainable destination remains unexplored. This article addresses this gap by integrating research from sustainable destinations and place branding and theorising the mechanisms that connect them. An integrative and generative literature review guides this explorative and combining effort. Six thematic clusters framing the sustainable destination and seven thematic clusters framing place branding reveal their frail connections and evidence of the need for integration. By integrating, synthesizing and comparing these results and coupling them with the concept of situational meaning, this study develops a theoretical framework that explains how place branding can be harnessed to foster a more sustainable future for tourism destinations and their communities. Six research streams are proposed that substantiate the potential of place branding in enhancing sustainability meaning-making and, in turn, support the development of sustainable destinations, highlighting future research avenues for sustainability-driven place branding.","PeriodicalId":48326,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management Reviews","volume":"28 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.8,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ijmr.70009","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145583007","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}

Scholars have used the concept to explain IB phenomena through the lens of business actors’ network relationships and positions in their networks. Yet, network embeddedness has been conceptualized and operationalized quite differently across IB. To bring clarity to the field, we conducted a systematic literature review of 182 conceptual and empirical articles published between 1996 and 2025. Our review unpacks the various theoretical perspectives, definitions and operationalizations used in network embeddedness research in IB. Moreover, our findings highlight the limited attention paid to space and time in the conceptualizations and operationalizations of network embeddedness in IB. To improve upon these aspects, we advance a spatio-temporal view of network embeddedness that combines dimensions of geographical space beyond the country level, accounts for social and digital space and incorporates the notion of subjective time. Our proposed view opens new directions for future research in IB, moving and expanding current scholarship in the interface of network embeddedness and internationalization.","PeriodicalId":48326,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management Reviews","volume":"28 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.8,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ijmr.70004","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145254567","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}

Gender equality (GE) is one of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG5) that multinational enterprises (MNEs) can contribute most to. This is because SDG5 integrates directly into MNEs’ human resource practices, supply chain management and corporate social responsibility initiatives, making it more actionable for MNEs. Despite their potential contribution, knowledge about how MNEs can impact SDG5 remains fragmented, inconsistent and scattered across disciplines such as management, economics and gender studies. Therefore, a comprehensive analysis of the literature is urgently needed. We address this gap through a systematic literature review relying on a taxonomy of the mechanisms through which MNEs can impact SDG5: human resource management strategy, partnership, philanthropy, advocacy, and indirect mechanisms. Drawing on the findings from 158 empirical articles, we developed an integrative framework to help understand the potential contribution MNEs can make towards GE. The framework underscores the need to simultaneously consider contextual factors at multiple levels (individual, organizational, meso and macro) to discover why intended GE policies may fail to achieve their desired outcomes. Furthermore, in order to truly contribute to SDG5, MNEs must not only engage with the various mechanisms they can activate to promote GE but should also remain aware of the indirect mechanisms triggered by their investments and business activities, which may produce either positive or negative effects for women in the countries where they operate.","PeriodicalId":48326,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management Reviews","volume":"28 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.8,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ijmr.70015","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145920187","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}

While various firms have sought to embrace industry platforms, many have struggled with their management. Although prior research has provided valuable insights into how platform owners manage their industry platforms, the literature remains fragmented across disciplines, narrowly focused on specific topics, and underexplores diverse aspects of platform management. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of industry platform management remains lacking despite substantial research efforts. In response, we conducted a systematic literature review of 359 articles spanning a range of disciplines that focus on industry platforms. This research contributes to the platform literature by conceptualizing industry platform management as the dynamic interplay of interrelated, iterative, and simultaneous processes—creation, integration, orchestration, navigation, and evolution—that collectively shape the emergence, configuration, and advancement of industry platforms. This conceptualization is embodied in an integrative framework that captures the five processes, their underlying approaches, and their inter- and intra-process dynamics. Building on the framework, this research proposes a future research agenda that addresses the key gaps in the platform literature through research directions at the process, intra-process, and inter-process levels.","PeriodicalId":48326,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management Reviews","volume":"28 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.8,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ijmr.70016","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147380791","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}

To disentangle the confounding results, the present study delves into the concepts of stakeholder and resource-based view theory, presenting quantitative findings from the existing literature through a meta-analysis to establish the CSP–CFP relationship. The analysis incorporates 82 studies with 152 effect sizes, revealing a positive and significant nexus between CSP and CFP, with no evidence of publication bias. Additionally, the study explores the direction of causality in this association, demonstrating that prior CSP is associated with improved subsequent CFP, though the reverse is not validated. The study also examines contextual and method moderators responsible for between-study variance. Notably, the study makes a distinctive and unparalleled contribution by advancing methodological rigor, integrating subgroup analysis with meta-regression to examine the CSP–CFP nexus. The results provide theoretical contributions, offering valuable insights and suggestions for future research on the CSP–CFP association, thereby paving the way for further scholarly work.","PeriodicalId":48326,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management Reviews","volume":"28 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.8,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145246718","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}

Given the fragmented conceptual approaches to understanding the relationships between MNEs and these communities, the complex mechanisms underpinning these interactions remain underexplored. This study seeks to uncover existing knowledge in the management literature and supplement it with work from closely related fields—including economics, area studies and development studies—to consolidate current knowledge and gain a broader understanding of how MNEs interact with these communities. We explore the actions, mechanisms and strategies MNEs use to interact with these communities in emerging markets and how they may contribute to integrating disadvantaged communities into the socio-economic ecosystem. Understanding how MNEs and communities interact is important since MNEs can help address several SDG-related issues pertinent to these communities, such as poverty and inequality. To achieve our research objective, we conduct a semi-systematic literature review of 119 carefully identified papers. Our findings reveal the array of actions employed by MNEs to facilitate interactions with communities. Such actions, which often involve multi-stakeholder partnerships, are shown to promote MNEs’ accountability and social legitimacy in the local environment, leading to various relational benefits. Our study advances theoretical knowledge by synthesising current findings in the management and closely related literature on the interactions between MNEs and disadvantaged communities, offering a novel integrative conceptual model of MNE–community interactions and advancing recommendations for future research.","PeriodicalId":48326,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management Reviews","volume":"28 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.8,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ijmr.70018","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146777293","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}
