摘要

Nachum 等人 (J Int Bus Stud 54(5):938-955, 2023) 的观点文章以及 Kamoche 和 Wood (J Int Bus Stud 54(5):956-967, 2023) 的反观点文章分别使用有趣的理论来论证以人为本的机制和非洲本土理论为国际商务(IB)研究提供了机遇。虽然趣味理论以学术影响为中心,但还有其他影响--社会、实践、政策和教育--对非洲的国际商务学者也很重要。我以这些影响为重点,运用移动理论,将积极性、历史和影响 "转向 "整合到一个功能性框架中,展示了对非洲感兴趣的国际文凭学者如何开展研究,以满足非洲社会、组织和个人对包容发展、能力和维护的迫切要求。这一扩展性框架吸引了国际文凭同领域的学者来开展研究,以促进变革和认可,具有恢复性和改革性,并调整和重塑个人、组织和社会的实践、知识体系和行为。这些功能对于产生吸引领导者、从业人员、决策者和教育工作者的影响至关重要。因此,该框架符合 JIBS 的战略目标,即促进有助于建设更美好世界的研究。

International business research that moves Africa

International business research that moves Africa

The Nachum et al. (J Int Bus Stud 54(5):938–955, 2023) Point article and the Kamoche and Wood (J Int Bus Stud 54(5):956–967, 2023) Counterpoint article each use interesting theory to argue that people-centric mechanisms and indigenous theories of Africa, respectively, offer opportunities for international business (IB) research. Although interesting theory is centered on academic impact, there are other impacts—societal, practical, policy, and educational—that matter to IB scholars of Africa. Focusing on those impacts, and using moving theory, I integrate positivity, history, and impact “turns” into a functional framework that shows how IB scholars interested in Africa can conduct research that addresses the immediate pressing requirements of being—inclusive development, capabilities, and maintenance—that matter to African societies, organizations, and individuals. The expansive framework draws in scholars of the cognate fields of IB to conduct research that prompts change and recognition, is restorative and reformative, and realigns and remodels the practices, knowledge systems, and behaviors of individuals, organizations, and societies. These functions are essential for creating impacts that appeal to leaders, practitioners, policymakers, and educators. As such, the framework aligns with the strategic aim of JIBS to foster research that helps build a better world.
