Bringing together studies from academic researchers, evaluators and program designers and policymakers from Africa, Asia, Latin and North America, Europe, and Australia, the book compiles the latest research and analysis on the policy, practice, and outcomes of international scholarship programs. Contributions examine the broad trends in sponsored overseas study, program design considerations, the dynamics of the immediate post-scholarship period and the impact of scholarships on international education and development. Particular attention is focused on assessment and evaluation, the complexities of selecting awardees, the dynamics of returning home and concerns about brain drain and the state of knowledge and research on long-term outcomes of international scholarships with social change aims.nt>
When business researchers want to add an international dimension to their work, they are faced with a unique set of challenges with which they may be unfamiliar. They would do well to turn for advice to experts who have been there before. Toyne, Mart^D'inez, and Menger offer ideas and recommendations that are as valuable to the seasoned business researcher as they are to the doctoral student. They address the four major issues faced by scholars of international business: intellectual preparation, institutional barriers, research design challenges relating to collaboration and multidisciplinary research, and using both quantitative and qualitative approaches in an international context. By learning which pitfalls to avoid and which avenues to pursue, readers will find many helpful suggestions for accelerating the pace of their international business research without sacrificing quality. In demonstrating how recognized management, marketing, and international business experts have successfully met the challenges associated with the conduct of international research, the contributors address several special cases: public research-oriented universities, a junior faculty's perspective, public teaching-oriented universities, private teaching-oriented universities, cross-disciplinary research, secondary vs. primary data, and verifification of cross-cultural theories. This work is ideal for business researchers in many fields, including behavioral accounting, finance, human resource management, marketing, and organizational behavior.

Crises and disruptions can lead to important changes in economic, social and institutional environments. This collection of influential JIBS articles and original commentaries highlights that MNEs are affected by, and respond to, crises and disruptions differently than domestic firms due to their geographically dispersed operations and wider range of experiences from being active in diverse environments. MNEs can exhibit greater flexibility to ‘avoid’ locations characterised by crises and disruptions, and when affected, they can deploy a more refined set of responses relative to domestic firms. Each article is accompanied by a brand new editorial piece, bringing the research right up to date and reflecting on the impact of the article today. In this way, the book offers an integrated perspective on the antecedents, outcomes and potential opportunities associated with a variety of crises and disruptions such as disease outbreaks, natural disasters, climate change and political unrest. An ideal resource for students and researchers, this book offers new perspectives, policy and practical recommendations as well as a discussion of future trends. The volume concludes with a novel analysis on how businesses can move forward in a post-Covid world.
