The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Industrial organization, Multinational corporation, Internationalization, Economic geography and Digital economy are the subjects of interest in Global Strategy Journal. Some problems in Industrial organization that were presented in it overlapped with concepts under Orientation (mental), Empirical research and Product (category theory). The subject of Construct (philosophy), which is connected to the field of Service networks and Knowledge management, serves as the foundation of the Multinational corporation research featured in it.

The journal facilitates discussions on Internationalization that incorporate concepts from other fields like Development economics and Subsidiary. Studies in Start up and Emerging markets are the key highlights in the journal. It explores research in Patient capital and overlapping concepts in Agency (sociology) to expand the discourse in Emerging markets.

Publication chance based on affiliation

The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.

The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.

During the most recent 2021 edition, 2.44% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 30.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 15.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 20.00% of all publications and 35.00% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.

The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.

Returning Institution Index

The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.

The experience to innovation index

Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).

The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:

  • Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
  • Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
  • Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
  • Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
  • Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

Connections to Practical Business Applications

While the Global Strategy Journal aims to explore vast and intricate domains in the context of global strategy, practical business applications of these research subjects are equally important. Integrating academic research into practical business scenarios allows for the development of unique strategies that guide the actions of multinational corporations. For instance, concepts of industrial organization and international trade can inform the strategies employed by businesses in their global operations. These insights could directly influence their competitiveness in the market and their ability to expand into new markets. Emerging markets play a crucial role in this scenario. Many of the most renowned business schools in California teach students about innovative strategies derived from recent research, preparing them to effectively manage business activities in burgeoning economies. Thus, we believe that a consideration of the real-world business applications of the research discussed in this journal can provide essential insights that transcend the realm of academia. Future editions of the journal could focus on how these research topics have been deployed successfully in an operational or business context, further bridging the gap between academia and practice.
