.

Papers in this special issue should advance our theoretical understanding of the interaction between the local and global dimensions of the strategies and operations of MNEs, and the impact of local context on the variation of local strategies.

All submissions will be expected to develop strong theoretical foundations and implement rigorous methodologies. The special issue welcomes a broad range of including quantitative studies, qualitative and case studies, multi-country comparative studies, replication studies and studies of specific MNEs operating in multiple contexts.

A paper writing workshop is scheduled for April 2009 at the University of Reading, where prospective authors may present their work and receive comments and feedback. Note that invitation to the workshop does not imply acceptance for the special issue. Conversely, attendance is not prerequisite for publication in the special issue.

All acceptances to the special issue are subject to verification from the General Editors of the Journal of Management Studies.
