An Assessment of the Role of Latin America in the Core International Business Literature (2001–2010)

Abstract

This article contributes to the international business literature by exploring the role of Latin America within the core international business scholarship. As to the role of Latin America in international business scholarship, we find that Latin America is generally represented as a geographic study area; additionally, we find that Latin America-based authors are disproportionately absent from the core international business journals. We offer several recommendations to better position research on Latin America as well as research by Latin Americans and Latin America-based authors. © 2012 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.
