Digital Globalisation

Information and communication technologies have significantly transformed the business environment and processes. Digital technologies present both challenges and opportunities for businesses, particularly in their global value chains. Traditional international business (IB) practices and theories, developed prior to the digital era, now require adaptation to address the shifts brought about by digitalisation. Key questions that arise include how digitalisation influences firms' decisions, behaviours, and outcomes in internationalisation - affecting areas such as sourcing, production, market selection, entry mode, international ventures, learning, and marketing, among others.
