摘要：

This paper presents an agenda for extending the theory of international business in order to explain a wider range of phenomena. This, however, has to be done with due attention to the requirements of good social science theory. Relevant criteria are set out, together with a list of issues that new theory must address. Theory needs to focus on industries as well as firms, and make greater use of formal multi-actor models. 'Generalizing from the particular' should be avoided; theory needs to be derived from general social science principles that have proved successful in cognate disciplines.
