“…Groundbreaking studies in the field of IB have emphatically called for methodological innovations to effectively capture the dynamic and intricate nature of IB phenomena. Notable contributions by IB scholars are Eden and Nielsen (2020), Nielsen et al (2020) and Buchnea and Elsahn (2022), among others, who have underscored the urgency of exploring unconventional methodological techniques originating from diverse disciplines, such as those derived from complexity science. Complexity science offers a profound understanding of non-linear stochastic shocks that significantly impact the performance and stability of dynamical systems (Ji et al , 2021).…”

“…Moreover, Buchnea and Elsahn (2022) advocate that theoretical progress in IB can be expedited through the diversification of contexts and sources, leading to the reconfiguration of theoretical frameworks or even the creation of novel ones. An innovative theoretical model based on catastrophe theory – the branch of complexity science that delves into the behavior of nonlinear dynamical systems subject to abrupt changes (Mostafa, 2022; Guastello, 2013) – offers a fresh perspective to incorporate the profound impact of black swan events on the realm of IB.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to propose a methodological approach for modeling catastrophic consequences caused by black swan events, based on complexity science, and framed on Feyerabend’s anarchistic theory of knowledge. An empirical application is presented to illustrate the proposed approach. Design/methodology/approach Thom’s nonlinear differential equations of morphogenesis are used to develop a theoretical model of the impact of catastrophes on international business (IB). The model is then estimated using real-world data on the performance of multinational airlines during the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic. Findings The catastrophe model exhibits a remarkable capability to simultaneously capture complex linear and nonlinear relationships. Through empirical estimations and simulations, this approach enables the analysis of IB phenomena under normal conditions, as well as during black swan events. Originality/value To the best of the author’s knowledge, this study is the first attempt to estimate the impact of black swan events in IB using a catastrophe model grounded in complexity theory. The proposed model successfully integrates the abrupt and profound effects of catastrophes on multinational corporations, offering a critical perspective on the theoretical and practical use of complexity science in IB.

“…An extensive network is crucial in business as it facilitates product introduction, placement, and promotion to consumers. (Assaad & El-adaway, 2020;Buchnea & Elsahn, 2022;Martia et al, 2021) Business networks seek to cultivate associations and affiliations with individuals in similar or interconnected industries. (Prabowo, 2021;Stergiopoulos et al, 2020) Through these associations, entrepreneurs of all scales can enhance their businesses in diverse domains, including augmenting sales, devising effective marketing strategies, broadening networks and connections, fostering personal growth, accessing an extensive professional network, creating opportunities for relationship building, and expanding access to information and resources.…”

In order to mitigate the elevated unemployment rate in Indonesia, the community must investigate other business prospects, such as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), exemplified by Gurilem Crackers. Gurilem Crackers, a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME), possesses a robust and established infrastructure encompassing business networks, production methods, marketing strategies, and financial resources. These elements contribute to the improvement of firm productivity and market competitiveness. The data gathering method employed is descriptive qualitative, including interviews and observations. This study examines the business network, production processes, marketing tactics, and finances of Gurilem Crackers SME, which Mang Teten owns in the Bongas hamlet. The research findings suggest that Mang Teten's company utilizes business networking by collaborating with Gurilem cracker suppliers, employs essential production tools, relies exclusively on word of mouth for Gurilem Cracker marketing, and achieves a monthly profit of Rp—1,236,000.00 with a profit margin of 8.9%.

Rethinking internationalization processes: toward a circular framework

Why should models and theories that have set images and boundaries of the internationalization process in the past remain constant over time within International Business research? Despite a recent emphasis on its nonlinear nature, many still view internationalization as a forward-moving process, overlooking its dynamic nature involving enter, re-enter, and exit decisions during the process. To discuss this issue, this paper rethinks the existing International Business literature to retain its explanatory power as an essential discipline by developing a circular framework to capture firms' non-linear internationalization process. The authors propose a circular framework with the decision-making process as the unit of analysis and four statuses: Enter, De-Internationalization, Re-Internationalization, and Operation Internationalized. The decision-making process guides firms through the statuses simultaneously or individually, in the same or a diverse temporal dimension. With this circular framework, the authors wish to contribute to future International Business research; research that can keep up with the “real” world.
