The Historical Evolution of International Business: Growth Trajectory of an Academic Field of Study
暫譯: 國際商業的歷史演變：學術領域的成長軌跡

這本書是國際商務（International Business, IB）作為一個研究領域的歷史的第一部且最全面的記錄。這本書在統一的框架下記錄了IB思想、教學和機構的演變，旨在觀察這些組成部分之間的相互依賴性，並展示它們如何共同塑造IB作為一個研究領域。該書基於大量的原始資料，透過領先的IB學者的討論和詮釋，創造了歷史觀點與當代發展之間的對話，並顯示歷史在理解IB作為一個研究領域的當前狀態和論述中的關鍵角色。這本書將IB的歷史置於更廣泛的商業、政治和社會發展的背景中，並檢視外部和內部力量之間的互動，這些力量塑造了該領域的成長軌跡，無論是獨立發展還是與其他研究領域的比較。
