Abstract
The main objective of the paper is to identify and explore patterns and dynamics of transatlantic scientific collaboration in the field of strategic management between the United States (US) and European countries (EUC) during the last quarter century. Scholarly connections between countries, cities and institutions on the basis of co-author affiliations were analysed to determine the knowledge flow from a geographical perspective. This is the first time international scientific collaboration between researchers in the field of strategic management has been studied to such an extent. We employed all sources of relevant data from the Web of Science and Scopus databases and explored 453 results. Utilizing a bibliometric analysis, our study offers a comprehensive and up-todate identification and assessment of the current situation and dynamics of transatlantic scientific collaboration. The obtained results confirm the dominant role of the US in this type of collaboration. Also, the dominant role of several clusters in terms of collaboration, both on country and institution levels can also be observed. The study confirms the weaker position of Eastern and Central Europe countries in this collaboration and provides some recommendations to increase this type of knowledge exchange in the future.
Highlights
Strategic management, as a relatively young field rooted in management sciences, has been constantly developing and growing since its inception during the twentieth century
It contributes to the observation that the European countries (EUC) either choose European collaboration or collaboration with the United States (US)
The strong position of UK may be the result of the language, and the Anglo-American bipolar model (Gui et al, 2019). It is worth noting the low level of collaboration between the US and Central and Eastern Europe. This is in line with the observation of traditional Russian-Central and Eastern European (CEE) links in social sciences (Marshakova-Shaikevich, 2010, p. 62) that are rooted in the 20th century
Summary
As a relatively young field rooted in management sciences, has been constantly developing and growing since its inception during the twentieth century. Some evidence collected from the first essential publications from the US show that as an academic discipline it originated in the beginning of the 1960s and commenced with the pioneering works of Chandler (1962), Ansoff (1965) and Andrews (1971) while others have argued that its formal birth is dated to the late 1970s after being suddenly relabelled and reconceptualised.
