European J. of International Management (EJIM), Vol. 18, No. 1, 2022

Abstract: European Journal of International Management (EJIM) is one of the leading journals in the field of international business. Despite its leading status, the journal, to date, has not been retrospectively reviewed. Therefore, the aim of this article is to commemorate EJIM' 15th anniversary with an in-depth and comprehensive review of the journal's knowledge output. Using bibliometric analysis, we find that EJIM has grown immensely in terms of its impact, with consistent growth in its citations. In line with its European slant, most articles published in EJIM originate from Europe. In terms of methodology, the journal has moved from empirical qualitative to empirical quantitative research. The bibliometric findings show six prominent themes that include internationalisation in entrepreneurial ventures and small and medium enterprises, competencies of multinational firms, strategic management in international business, international human resource management, national culture and organisational culture. Though the major focus of the EJIM' initial years was on international human resource management, it has more recently shifted its focus to internationalisation strategies involving entrepreneurial ventures and Small- and Medium-Enterprises (SMEs). The insights from this retrospective review should be useful to the editors and editorial board members in appreciating the achievements of EJIM and shape its future.
