Abstract
Migration is increasingly viewed as a high-priority policy issue among politicians, intergovernmental organizations, NGOs and civil society throughout the world. Its implications for the private sector, for economic prosperity and for the cross-border activities of firms are undeniable and will remain a top priority for the foreseeable future. Yet despite its relevance to International Business (IB), migration has been subject to only limited discussion in the mainstream IB literature. In this contribution, we examine key aspects of migration germane to IB. In particular, we suggest that recent migratory shifts are transforming important elements of the context within which multinational enterprises (MNEs) operate with significant implications for the international human resource management practices of MNEs, for the way cross-border activities of firms are managed, and for the manner in which international strategies are formulated and implemented. We offer a research agenda to motivate IB scholars to study global migration in more depth and reevaluate the generalizability of aspects of their theories in light of developments in global migration.
