Thunderbird International Business Review
Special Issue – Call for Papers:
The Great Recession of 2008 and its Impact on International Business.
Guest Editor: Amir Shoham, College of Management – Academic Studies,
Israel.
This special issue will include studies dealing with the current
economic crisis and the lessons that it can teach about the
international environment and management of international businesses.
The perspective on the development of the global economic crisis is
still short-term and provides a look straight from the eye of the storm.
Understanding the sources of the crisis and its impact can teach us much
about how to manage, what to do and not to do and, perhaps, how to avoid
similar complex events in the future. Since the crisis is global and
encompasses so many different sectors and countries, it is important to
present research on a broad variety of topics related to its
socio-political and economic antecedents and impact. Some topics
suitable for inclusion in the Special Issue include:
• Company, national, industry and regional factors associated with
global economic crises
• Impact of the global economic crisis on emerging markets
• Impact of the crisis on select local and global industries
• How companies have managed the great recession
• Strategies to deal with structural and cyclical fluctuations in
the global economy
• Do we need to change or adapt theories in light of new evidence?
The Editor of the Special Issue has intentionally kept the list of
suggested topics short so as to stimulate creativity and encourage
prospective authors to adopt a variety of perspectives when approaching
this subject. The Special Issue will include a state-of-the art
collection of papers relating what we can learn about impact of the
crisis and business management in an international environment.
DEADLINE: The Special Issue will be published in 2010. Submissions
should be sent no later than December 1, 2009.
All articles will be submitted to a process of peer evaluation, in
