In recent years, we have seen increasing interest in deglobalization in the global economy, accompanying major disruptions such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the U.S.-China trade conflict. Yet much less scholarly effort has been spent on understanding this grand shift from globalization toward de-globalization. In particular, what factors triggered governments and companies to switch from benefiting from international expansion toward being concerned about the drawback and potential cost of international expansion? This symposium fosters the development of an important research agenda that helps us understand the incentives behind the shift from globalization toward deglobalization. It also reminds us of whether we are missing opportunities forgoing globalization. We believe the theoretical insights and empirical findings of this set of coherent research studies by leading scholars will not only have broader implications for firms’ strategic responses, management, and adaptation to both the globalization and deglobalization process in the future but also open up new exciting avenues of research.
