For this 26th volume of the ＂Advances in International Management＂ series, Devinney (U. of Technology, Sydney, Australia), Pedersen (Copenhagen Business School, Denmark), and Tihanyi (Texas
A&M U., US) have guided their selection of the various empirical and theoretical studies in international management according to the theme of application of the philosophy of science to
the field, with the issue of meta-knowledge in research being a key element of that overarching theme. Opening papers address the career contributions of Jean Francois Hennart to the theory of
the multinational enterprise (including a self-review by Hennart himself). The remaining papers address such topics as: the advantages of baseline modeling of null-hypothesis testing in
international business research, meta-analytic research in international business and international management, sources and modes of theorizing on the international strategy-performance
relationship, and international technology transfer and its implications to dominant design theory. Distributed in North America by Turpin Distribution. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc.,
