International Marketing and Management Research presents innovative ideas and new
research on understanding the challenges confronting global business. Covering the breadth
of international business, articles discuss human management, marketing, leadership, crea-
tivity, and entrepreneurship. The economic, political, legal, sociocultural, and technological
issues related to international business are also discussed. The series provides a forum for
academics and professionals to share the latest developments and advances in knowledge and
practice of global business and international management. It aims to foster the exchange of
ideas on a range of important international subjects and to provide stimulus for research and
the further development of international perspectives. The principal aim is to push back the
boundaries of the thinking, theory, and practice in international business, global marketing,
and management, and to provide a forum to explore these developments. The series publishes
research based on theoretical explanations, methodological developments, and modeling.
