本文提出了认识的反身性作为一种方法论的过程中处理知识偏见的国际商务研究。本文借鉴布迪厄（Sociological Theory，7：26-63，1989）的反身社会学理论，提出了一种认识论形式的反身性，它超越了对研究者的社会背景和与被研究者的人际关系的限制性关注，走向了包含在研究者的主观角色以及智力偏见和定位中的知识生产条件。这种方法通过系统地探索社会科学主张，提高了所有研究过程（定性、定量、混合和多方法）的可信度和可信度。这可以通过IB研究人员审查自己的自我，文化习俗，偏见和“未经思考的思想类别”来实现，如果没有问题化，可能会限制我们对其他人的“社会现实”和我们调查的IB现象的理解。本文有助于IB的研究方法文献的发展认识论的理论基础，反身性，除了设计一个方法论的过程，研究人员智力参与，包括六个反身性，自我质疑的“思考任务”。
The paper advances epistemic reflexivity as a methodological process for dealing with knowledge biases in International Business research. By drawing upon Bourdieu's (Sociological Theory, 7:26-63, 1989) reflexive sociology, the paper develops an epistemic form of reflexivity that moves beyond the limiting focus on the researcher's social background and interpersonal relations with the researched, towards the conditions of knowledge production contained in the researcher's subjective role as well as intellectual bias and positioning. Such an approach enhances trustworthiness and credibility in all research processes (qualitative, quantitative, mixed and multimethod), through a systematic exploration of social scientific claims. This can be achieved by the IB researcher scrutinising their own Self, cultural practices, biases and 'unthought categories of thought', which, if not problematised, may limit our understanding of other peoples' 'social reality' and the IB phenomena that we investigate. The paper contributes to IB research methods literature by developing an epistemic theoretical foundation for reflexivity in addition to devising a methodological process for researchers to intellectually engage with, comprising of six reflexive, self-interrogating 'thinking tasks'.
