- You are choosing a design for a cross-border or multi-country question
JIBS is paradigmatically and methodologically pluralistic by policy — quantitative, qualitative, mixed, and pure-theory work are all in scope. There is no single mandated method. But its practical center of gravity is theory-driven, hypothesis-testing empirical work on cross-country or multilevel data, held to demanding standards. Pick the design that fits the phenomenon, then engineer in the three rigor demands JIBS reviewers apply most insistently.
| Phenomenon / claim | Design |
|---|---|
| Country/culture shapes a firm or individual outcome | Multilevel (firm/individual nested in country), with country-level predictors |
| Internationalization as a path-dependent process | Longitudinal/dynamic panel of firms over time (FDI, entry, commitment) |
| Cross-cultural attitudes/behavior | Multi-country survey with translated, back-translated instruments |
| Entry-mode / location / governance choice | Discrete-choice archival design on cross-border deals (SDC, fDi Markets) |
| Deep contextual MNE puzzle | Comparative / multi-country case study (qualitative) |
The AIB Research Methods SIG curates ~28 JIBS "From the Editors" methods editorials (2008–2022) on endogeneity, multilevel models, interaction effects, QCA, replication/reproducibility, CMV, and p-values. Reviewers treat these as de facto standards — align your design with the relevant editorial and cite it.

npx claudepluginhub brycewang-stanford/awesome-journal-skills --plugin jibs-skillsRuns empirical analysis for JIBS manuscripts: cross-national measurement equivalence, multilevel/dynamic-panel estimation, endogeneity, and robustness checks aligned to JIBS methods editorial canon.
Designs Journal of Management Studies manuscripts by matching research design (qualitative case/ethnography, process/longitudinal, survey, archival, experiment, multi-method) to theoretical questions, with first-class qualitative rigor.
Selects and defends JMIS-compatible research designs—IT-value econometrics, behavioral experiments, analytical models, or design-science artifacts—matching method to causal claim and page budget.
