The cross-border transfer of practices lies at the heart of how multinational enterprises (MNEs) coordinate their international business activities. Research on transfer has increased substantially over the last three decades and now constitutes a well-established literature. For a systematic analysis, we review a sample of 167 articles published in 18 top journals. We structure these past contributions in a ‘Practice Transfer Framework.’ Our mapping reveals some limitations and blind spots in existing theoretical and methodological approaches. Beyond more conventional extensions, we offer several ideas that could qualitatively elevate research on transfer, commensurate with the paradigms of 21^st century global business.

实践的跨境转移是跨国企业 (MNE) 如何协调其国际业务活动的核心。在过去的三十年里，关于转移的研究有了长足的发展，现在已成为一份成熟的文献。为了进行系统分析，我们回顾了 18 种顶级期刊上发表的 167 篇文章作为样本。我们在“实践转移框架”中构建这些过去的贡献。我们的映射揭示了现有理论和方法论方法中的一些局限性和盲点。^{除了更传统的扩展之外，我们还提供了一些可以定性提升迁移研究的想法，与 21世纪}全球商业的范式相称。
