Foreign Location Choice: Review and Extensions (2016, unknown): “…as it tends to focus more on applying different mechanisms derived from multiple disciplines to analyze a specific phenomenon, rather than actually fusing ‘different assumptions, causal mechanisms and levels of analysis to form a new internally consistent whole’ (Cheng et al. 2009, p. 1071).”
From the Editors: Explaining interaction effects within and across levels of analysis (2014, methodology): “This editorial complements other editorials that have discussed how to develop theory in IB (Bello & Kostova, 2012; Cheng et al., 2009; Cuervo-Cazurra, Caligiuri, Andersson, & Brannen, 2013; Thomas, Cuervo-Cazurra, & Brannen, 2011) and how to incorporate advanced statistical techniques (Chang, van W”
Moving Forward: Developing Theoretical Contributions in Management Studies (2014, background): “The result is a high degree of specialization, which hampers creativity and can, as such, obstruct the development of progressive theory within and across fields (e.g., Cheng et al., 2009; Hillman, 2009).”
Incorporating the macro view in global talent management (2015, background): “It allows us to “escape from externally defined silos of narrow theoretical and empirical legitimacy”, and helps us implement a research agenda that avoids creating new silos (Cheng et al., 2009, p. 1072).”

Research on international business: The new realities (2021, methodology): “…have often been self-critical about the topics studied, the methods used, and the relevance of much published research for the practical challenges facing managers.5 Early influential contributions include Buckley (2002), Peng (2004), Shenkar (2004), Griffith et al. (2008) and Cheng et al. (2009).”
