Military as International Business

📣 Our new paper is out - "Corporate Military Activities and Key Frontiers in International Business Research", with my co-authors (Tazeeb S. Rajwani Christopher Hartwell Tao Chen) - it has just been published in the Journal of World Business by Elsevier. 

🙏 Thank you to the amazing editors Ajai Gaur and Daniel Andrews and our anonymous reviewers. As with most papers, it is a journey that began with a chance meeting in Academy of International Business (AIB) in hashtag#Poland in 2023, continued at hashtag#SouthKorea in 2024, and evolved into a paper across borders with some very amazing people with expert knowledge! But this is what collaborative research looks like! It is a timely paper considering the geopolitics and current cultural turns taking place!

Key takeaways 

🎖️ We define corporate military activities (CMA)

🗺️ Trace its historical origins

🏭 (PS. You would be surprised how many companies listed on the stock market are in this new (old) business and we also highlight the growing role of private military security companies)

🎖️ Present a framework for CMA - looking at modalities, targets and benefits

✴️ Offer future academic research areas for international business scholars
