摘要

本展望分析了区域跨国企业的研究现状，并提出了未来研究的方向。我们简要报告了聚类分析的结果，并确定了国际商业奖学金中RMNE研究的五个主要主题。然后，我们为新的RMNE研究提出了一个雄心勃勃的议程。这些研究应优先考虑所有大型跨国公司目前面临的四个重大挑战，即数字化转型、地缘政治不稳定、减缓气候变化影响和可持续性，以及对大规模中断的复原力的更广泛需求。我们针对这四个领域制定了十二个研究问题。我们认为，在跨国公司战略、结构和组织实践领域采用区域视角来应对上述四项挑战，对于大型国际运营公司的有效运作至关重要，需要在国际商业战略领域进行持续、专门的研究。

What is the future of regional multinational enterprises?

This Perspective examines current research on regional multinational enterprises (RMNEs) and proposes directions for future studies. We briefly report on the results of the cluster analysis and identify five main themes of RMNE research within international business scholarship. We then propose an ambitious agenda for new RMNE studies. These studies should prioritize four critical, grand challenges facing all large MNEs today, namely digital transformation, geopolitical instability, climate change impact mitigation and sustainability, and the broader need for resilience to large-scale disruptions. We formulate twelve research questions related to these four areas. We argue that adopting a regional perspective in the realm of MNE strategy, structure, and organizational practices to address the four challenges above is critical to the effective functioning of large, internationally operating companies and warrants continued, dedicated research within the field of international business strategy.
