The eclectic paradigm
"While originally the eclectic paradigm helped bring together and compare mainly economic theories of International Business (IB), today its greater value is as a framework that has the potential to enable us to relate to one another IB theories derived from ideas taken from different disciplines and constructed at different levels of analysis. To help to promote a greater conversation between those interested in the theoretical explanation of IB activities from various different backgrounds or starting points, this book offers a special Collection of JIBS articles which concern the foundations and the application of the eclectic paradigm.
