Digital technologies are changing how businesses strategize and organize internationally. They not only enable cost reduction in businesses crossing national boundaries but also enable novel types of products and business models. Yet, barriers to cross-border businesses persist or even re-emerge, such that the study of international business remains important in the digital age, but may have to shift focus. We argue that businesses operating internationally develop digital business strategies that are interdependent with their internationalization strategies. In doing so, they have to account for differences across national contexts including informal institutions, formal institutions, and resource endowments. We offer a conceptual framework linking external and internal antecedents to digital business and internationalization strategies. We focus in particular on three digital strategies: owning digital platforms, participating in digital platforms, and transforming traditional businesses for the digital world. On this basis, we discuss the contributions of the papers in this special issue and conclude by outlining an agenda for future research.

“…First, some argue that foreign governments and MNCs could use FDI to gain a foothold in strategically important industries (Feng, 2009), posing potential threats to national economies if these firms monopolize the industries, denying or manipulating domestic firm access to outputs (Hasnat, 2015). Second, some fear that FDI could result in the transfer of technology/expertise to a foreign entity or government, which could deploy it against the host country's national interests (Esplugues, 2018).…”

From Germany's chipmaker Infineon's proposed takeover of US-based Wolfspeed being blocked in 2017 to China's Huawei being banned in the USA and other countries in 2020; from the UK's new National Security and Investment Bill being announced in the Queen's Speech on 19 December 2019, to the EU's FDI Screening Regulation fully entering into force on 11 October 2020, inward foreign direct investments are increasingly scrutinized by host-country governments on the grounds of national security concerns. While FDI policy and screening regimes work differently in different countries, they share something in common, that is, ambiguity and obscurity have become the key features of FDI policies for most countries when concerned with national security. Drawing on securitization and balance-of-power theories, I contend that the ambiguity in FDI policy is intentionally constructed to leave room for power struggles. I argue that ambiguity is an important prerequisite for politicians and other political and corporate actors to engage in the securitization of FDI to support their political and commercial agendas. This commentary contributes to a better understanding of the prevailing trend of ambiguity in relation to inward FDI policy, a reality that is different from what Cuervo-Cazurra (2018) advocates.https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jibp

“…These different types of terrorism all are planned and designed to instill fear and have a high social impact (Prieto‐Rodríguez, Rodríguez, Salas, & Suarez‐Pandiello, ). Terrorism counts as one of the main security threats to countries (Hasnat, ), perhaps the most severe one today. Different types of terrorism also pose different risks for businesses and are very hard to predict and manage.…”

Global terrorism incidents and business-related threats have intensified in scale and scope over the past 17 years. Multinational corporations are thus exposed to direct and indirect negative impacts on their international activities. Previous research lacks thorough theoretical frameworks to analyze these impacts. The global value chain (GVC) framework offers a perspective that is both comprehensive and quantifiable for the evaluation and expansion of this prior research. The GVC enables us to assess terrorism impacts on international business overall and at each stage of the value chain. On this basis, we develop a "terrorism resilience theory") that can be used in future theoretical and managerial analyses of the response to terrorism risk.
