📢 Call for Papers – Special Issue Global Strategy Journal: GLOBAL INNOVATION IN AN ERA OF DISRUPTIVE CHANGES
DEADLINE: September 30, 2025
Aims and Scope: The purpose of this special issue is to shed light on disruptive technological and geopolitical changes that require MNEs to reassess the organization of innovation in the global context and its interaction with their strategies (Casson, 2022; Friedmann & Pedersen, 2024; Santangelo et al., 2016). We seek papers that examine the role of the context and contextual characteristics on the behavior of MNEs engaging in R&D, technological, and business model innovation in order to manage new dynamics and stay competitive in the face of disruptive changes (Roulet & Bothello, 2023). In providing a re-evaluation of existing theories and a closer empirical examination of related topics, the special issue aims to advance our understanding of the factors that shape MNEs' global management of innovation, strategies and structures. By examining the new dynamics of MNE innovation in the global context and their strategies and strategic management, the Special Issue also intends to offer pragmatic recommendations for managers and policymakers to help navigate global disruptions.
