Abstract
Emerging market firms have become an important topic of research in recent times. However, it is somewhat surprising that little has been published about Latin American firms in top management journals, neither by Latin American scholars nor by North American and European scholars for that matter (Pérez-Batres, Pisani, and Doh, 2010). In fact, Latin American scholars and PhD students have not only been virtually absent from publications (or else have published in their native languages and gotten only local readership), but they have also been underrepresented in the most important conferences and fora on management. A report by UNESCO (2010) indicates that total publications by Latin American researchers in 2008 were only 18.3% of that of US researchers. However, the good news is that growth in publications, from 2000 to 2008, was 109.0% in Latin America and 24.4% in the United States.
