Decoupling in international business: Evidence, drivers, impact, and implications for IB research
论证中美之间脱钩（即两国或国家集团间相互依赖减弱的过程）正在发生且可能加速，分析了其驱动因素、对跨国公司的战略影响，并提出了基于产业特征的脱钩差异框架，为国际商务研究提出新问题。
We argue that decoupling, defined as the process of weakening interdependence between two nations or blocs of nations, has been ongoing between China and the United States and is likely to accelerate, with major implications for IB and MNE strategies and management. We present data that the world has experienced deglobalization and China-US decoupling and discuss the dynamics underlying decoupling and their implications for IB. We propose an initial framework of variations in decoupling by industry characteristics, and we outline novel and important questions for IB research growing out of our analysis. We conclude with a brief exposition of possible alternative scenarios.
