Better, Faster, Stronger: The Evolution of Co-authorship in International Management Research Between 1990 and 2016

As a border-transcending discipline, the advancement of international management research depends on collaboration between scholars, universities, and nations to account for the diversity and complexity of management phenomena. Yet, relatively little is known about how international management has e...
