We aim to initiate a dialogue about the important role of time in international business (IB) scholarship. While time is inherent in IB phenomena, it has, to date, received limited attention in IB research and theorizing. When IB scholars do account for time, they generally adhere to assumptions that represent time as linear and objective. We discuss the nature and importance of time in three domains of IB: philosophical, conceptual, and methodological. After defining each of these three interconnected domains, we problematize the dominant assumptions about time in each, and suggest potential avenues for rethinking time in IB research.
