This entails three specific queries about the past and the present.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e(1) Have our theories advanced in terms of a combination of explanation and prediction?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e(2) Have our methods proven to be effective in providing rigorous, robust and consistent evidence with respect to the explanatory and predictive validity of our theories?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e(3) Have we studied the right phenomena in the right way?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition, if we expect the field to move forward two additional questions arise:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e(4) What are the 'rising' phenomena that will impact the process of globalization?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e(5) How is this related to the 'practice' of globalization (from the perspective of those involved at the managerial, social, and political coalface)?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addressing these 'rising' phenomena we need to ask whether or not our theories have the required explanatory and predictive powers and whether or not we have the tools to effectively dissect and deconstruct these 'rising' phenomena?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe volume focuses on seven themes: (1) The Emerging Themes in IB\/IM, (2) Managerial Behavior in the IB\/IM Context, (3) Culture, (4) People, Systems and Organizations, (5) Knowledge\/Innovation, (6) Internationalization, and (7) Emerging Markets.
