The field is entering a fresh phase of evolution. In the new era, success will emanate from studies based on questions native to the discipline. The methodological bar will go higher to ensure rigor; and progressiveness will be the central driver for scholars. Growth can be expected in the area of knowledge refinement as well as discovery and develop- ment of integrative frameworks. On the refinement side, knowledge will be reformed and fine tuned. Research will focus on: (1) divergent findings in empirical investigations indigenous to IB; (2) paradoxes arising because of what is known in sister fields, such as marketing, sociology, anthropology, and eco- nomics; for example, standardization across international markets dampens operational costs at the expense of strategic flexibility; and (3) skepticism about empirical findings and patterns of managerial practices, such as the fact that seemingly minor innovations can undermine the usefulness of embedded knowledge in the system because core capabilities simultaneously enhance and inhibit development. As for discovery, rather then extend studies borrowed from elsewhere, scholars will be creative along three research avenues: (1) paradoxes embedded in the field, such as increased centralization improves control, but increased control stimulates opportunistic behavior; (2) contrasting conclusions between empirical findings and theoretical frameworks, such as the empirical challenge to the popular belief that intrafirm

  • Statement by Lorraine Eden (Associate Professor Of
    Lorraine Eden Lorraine Eden is Professor of Management and University Faculty Fellow at Texas A&M University where she teaches courses on multinational enterprises and international business. Her research focuses on the political economy of multinational enterprises, specializing in transfer pricing and international taxation. Her current research interests include: strategic transfer pricing; empirical estimates of transfer price manipulation; tax havens and corruption; regional integration and NAFTA, and global corporate strategy. Born in St. Stephen, NB, Canada, Lorraine received her Ph.D. with Distinction in Economics from Dalhousie University in 1976. Before joining Texas A&M’s Management Department in 1995, she was Professor of International Affairs at Carleton University, where she continues to hold an appointment as Adjunct Research Professor. She has also held full-time appointments in Economics at Mount St. Vincent and Brock universities, and a visiting appointment at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government. The key words that describe Lorraine Eden’s research and scholarship are international and interdisciplinary. Trained as an economist, she has had three professional homes: Economics, International Affairs and Management. Her research area – the political economy of multinational enterprises (MNEs) – encompasses and draws from all three. Lorraine’s core focus within the political economy of MNEs is transfer pricing (the pricing of products traded within MNEs), where she is internationally known as an academic authority. Perhaps her most significant publication is the book, Taxing Multinationals (University of Toronto Press, 1998). She has over 90 publications in print or forthcoming, including six edited or single-authored scholarly books and 30 journal articles. She is currently editing The Economics of Transfer Pricing in Edward Elgar’s book series, The International Library of Critical Writings in Economics.
