“…This problem is likely even more pronounced in the social sciences, where some sample locations can be believed to deliver more relevant knowledge than others. This, in turn, may result in preferential treatment of studies based on samples collected in overrepresented nations (mainly US) over those collected in underrepresented nations (Avery et al, 2022;Umphress et al, 2022). Since the access of scholars to preferred geographical samples is unequal, so are their chances of producing studies based on samples that are considered relevant.…”

“…First, the already mentioned bias in selecting research questions may make most of the research in our discipline not particularly relevant to the scholars and practitioners in the underrepresented regions. Second, the preferential treatment received by studies based on samples collected in the US and in other developed nations (Avery et al, 2022;Umphress et al, 2022) suggests that scholars operating within these nations are more likely to study such samples than to reach for samples from other parts of the world. Therefore, the overrepresentation of scholars from a certain region is likely associated with the overrepresentation of samples from the same region.…”

Management and organization studies have been born over one hundred years ago as primarily a North American discipline. The current study, based on articles published in 88 quality journals between 1980 and 2020 aims at discovering whether the level of internalization of management scholarship changed over the last four decades. I find that the geographical concentration of authorships remains extremely high (Gini coefficient 0.89 for 1980 vs 0.87 for 2020), despite the number of participating countries increasing from 35 to 91. Most of the world (Asia, Africa, South America and Eastern Europe) inhabited by 6.8 billion people is still strongly underrepresented in the management literature, while the most productive nations increased their output. The growth of publications by non-North American authors was to a large extent driven by cooperation with North American scholars, especially in the case of Asia. The use of English as the native language explains most of the variance in national output, with use of a different language associated with 78% drop in the number of published papers, controlling for GDP per capita and population size. However, the analysis of citation rates for papers co-authored and not co-authored by North American scholars shows that the rates converge for all types of cooperation, controlling for authors count, affiliations count, and Journal Impact Factor. I conclude that management research becomes more internationalized, but it remains predominantly a North American enterprise, which brings about a number of challenges.

Embracing non‐Western Contexts in Management Scholarship

Management is a global phenomenon. Yet, the vast majority of empirical investigations and theoretical explanations of management, managers and those being managed that are published in leading management journals are based on research that predominantly originates from Western contexts, particularly the USA and the larger European countries. Non‐Western contexts, in turn, reside at the periphery of mainstream management scholarship. This is problematic for multiple reasons. It provides an inherently limited view on the contextual factors that may explain variation in management practices across the globe, and it leads to a reductionist view of non‐Western contexts to offer little more than a means for teasing out the boundary conditions of mainstream ‘Western’ theories. This exclusion of non‐Western contexts has resulted in a marginalization of non‐Western scholarly voices, who are often hesitant to submit their research to leading scholarly journals. To address these interrelated problems, we use this introduction to the Thematic Collection on ‘Embracing non‐Western contexts’ in the Journal of Management Studies to call on scholars to more fully embrace non‐Western contexts in their research, and in doing so, to unleash the explanatory potential of these contexts for our understanding of management.
