“…Bibliometric analysis is a rigorous quantitative technique to scrutinize large volumes of scientific data to uncover underlying patterns, relationships and intellectual structures of a given research domain (Donthu et al , 2021b). Scholars have identified bibliometric analysis as a legitimate method of scientific enquiry in various fields of study (Ellegaard and Wallin, 2015; Mukherjee et al , 2021a) including management and international business (Fan et al , 2021; Hota et al , 2020). Following, we describe the variety of analytical tools utilized in this study.…”

PurposeCross Cultural and Strategic Management (CCSM) began publication in 1994 and completed its 27th year in 2020. The purpose of this study is to provide a bibliometric analysis of CCSM during the period between 1994 and 2020.Design/methodology/approachThe study uses a variety of bibliometric tools including performance analysis, authorship analysis, bibliographic coupling, keyword co-occurrence and regression analysis to present the retrospect of CCSM.FindingsCCSM's publication and citations continue to enjoy consistent growth throughout the years. While most contributions originate in the United States, the diversity of both research and the researchers themselves continues to grow. Over the period, the emphasis has been on quantitative research design. Archival data have been the most preferred data source, and content analysis the most used data analysis method, although its use has somewhat declined over the years. Major recurring themes in the journal include cultural barriers, concept of culture, national culture, culture and organizational practices, and expatriate employees. Important drivers of citations are also identified.Research limitations/implicationsThe study’s contributions are twofold. First, the authors’ comprehensive bibliometric analysis of published research in CCSM helps uncover its underlying intellectual structure and the evolution of its research themes over time. Awareness of these patterns and major themes should help future CCSM scholars to better situate their studies within the extant body of knowledge. Second, the authors’ analysis should also aid in shaping future editorial strategies for CCSM as it continues to compete with other similar journals in the fields of international business, international management and strategy.Originality/valueCCSM earned its reputation for quality, and as a result is currently one of the leading journals in its field. Therefore, by closely examining its underlying knowledge structure, the authors provide a more complete understanding of the intellectual progress made to date in CCSM, while also shedding light on its future.

The formation of global norms that affect work is a crucial element to how multinational companies (MNCs) achieve a degree of HR integration internationally. We establish a ‘strategic action fields’ framework to guide research into global norm‐making in MNCs in general and for analysing the work of those that we term ‘globalising actors’—those who are active in globalising a firm's management of its human resources—in particular. We position our framework with relation to existing research in international human resource management, and show how the field can benefit from achieving an approach to global norm‐making that is contextualised, personalised and contested.

“…Assessment of its challenges and readiness towards digital transformations, both disruptive and innovative, presents potential competitive advantage over the competition, economic and environmental benefits and strategic vision. Future growth and economic capacity rely on human resource capacity, international competitiveness and incorporating sustainable standards (Fan et al , 2021). This comes with significant risks while disruptive technology, such as 3D printing technology, continues to impact the global supply chain and logistics industry (Beltagui et al , 2020).…”
