Industry 4.0, Digitalisation, Globalisation influence deeply our every day’s life and our business. However, in the deepness of all these, there is a common phenomenon, there are the interrelated relationships, i.e. the networks.
Why are international networks important? What are the consequences on the business of the existence of international networks? These are two main research questions which federate the work and the sub-areas of the International Business Networks Research Area.

The most challenging research issues of the International Business Networks are:
- Problems of market entry in the emerging countries and particularly in the BRIC countries;
