AN EVOLVING PARADIGM OF THE ECONOMIC DETERMINANTS OF INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS ACTIVITY

Abstract

One of my major research thrusts over the past 40 years – and particularly since the mid-1970s – has been to construct, and regularly update and refine, an eclectic paradigm (EP) which seeks to identify and evaluate the determinants of international business (IB) activity. Within this activity, a range of operationally testable and specific economic and business theories might be accommodated.
