Abstract
In its early years after splitting off from the business policy discipline and becoming its own discipline about 50 years ago, international business started to take off by conducting phenomenon-based research in an interdisciplinary and engaging way. Yet, some scholars have recently noted that IB research, while grown in quantity ever since, has become characterized by debatable quality and fading impact and relevance. With the launch of AIB Insights around the turn of the century, the Academy of International Business has developed a new breed of IB journals that may contribute to making our field of IB more relevant again.
