Abstract

Replication studies help establish cumulative knowledge by verifying or falsifying previous empirical findings, but this methodological approach receives scant attention in the international management (IM) domain. The objective of this special issue is to promote replication efforts in IM. In this editorial, we present the evolution of replication studies and their specific meaning to IM, and synthesize insights from the seven articles included in this special issue to identify future research directions. In particular, we recommend novel methodological trials and a collective scholarly commitment to replication studies.
