It is evident that many academic fields and their ideas are currently being challenged. Ask yourself the following two fundamental questions. Ask them first now before you have read about the main theories, models and frameworks, and then ask yourself again at the end of the chapter:
• Do you think we will we see the same sorts of structures, behaviours, and strategies associated with international business as we did before, but merely at lower levels of geographic scale and scope?
• Do you think that significant aspects of international business will be qualitatively different, requiring new theorising and much more empirical exploration than we currently have?
