Digital internationalization : A bibliometric review

• The field of international business research is in a constant debate on how, and if, adapting its concepts to the digital developments of recent times is necessary. The aim of this literature review is to contribute to the discussion by examining research that investigates internationalization of firms and where digitalization plays a major role in the article's research context. The review uses bibliometric analysis which is a systematic review method that creates a representation of a research area’s structure by ranking publications, journal or authors based on analysis of citations, co-citations, and bibliographic coupling. The bibliometric analysis reveals interesting insights – including which outlets publish the most and who are the most central authors in that subfield. Thus, this review serves as a basis for the debate in IB on whether the traditional theories still serve its purpose – by looking at articles that apply these theories in a digital context.
