DEVELOPMENTS IN INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MANAGEMENT. A BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS.
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper presents a bibliometric analysis of international business management, developed to know the new trends in the study area and its current situation. The work investigates the evolution of international business management and its contributions to the new global industrial and economic trends. This study focuses on making significant contributions that will provide an appropriate path for opening new research. A meta-analysis is carried out with bibliometrix (software) and the R-Studio statistical package to monitor the most recent trends in this field of study in the scientific articles of the SCOPUS database. Finally, the top results point to a new perspective in international business management. It is possible to highlight four new realities that require greater attention: the growth of populism and economic nationalism, sustainable development and climate change, new digital technologies, and changes in power relations.
