Abstract

  • The evolution of MIR during the last fifty years shows remarkable similarity with the quantitative and qualitative development of IB/IM research in general. This is not only because the field of IB/IM started about fifty years ago but also because MIR, like the field itself, has been international in its orientation right from the beginning and has played in some aspects a pioneering and influential role in sharpening the profile of IB/IM research.
  • Following its influential role during the past half-century, MIR will help develop future avenues promising further improvements in both the quality and scope of IB/IM research.
  • To promote this process, we critically analyze the current state of the field in terms of its dominating research style and generate suggestions how identified weaknesses can be overcome.
