Fails WP:ACADEMIC. Only thing marginally notable is his 2005 presidency of EIBA, but I intend to nominate that for deletion as well. Don't see it as a "prestigious scholarly ... association". Bbb23 (talk) 02:10, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete – Per above. Also, IMO this subject also falls short of both "extensively cited to" and "substantially cited to in significant numbers." A handful of unrelated authors seem to cite to this subject (for example Estonia, the new EU economy: building a Baltic miracle? and search "Benito"), but most that I've seen do not contain substantial citing to this subject.

 * Strong Keep co-editor of two books, and probably meets WP:AUTHOR as well as, WP:PROF. In particular, co-editor of Progress in international business research, a series co-published by OUP and Elsevier. Multinationals on the periphery was published by another major publisher, Palgrave/Macmillan/. (for WP:Author alone, reviews would be needed) But several dozen published papers, & a dozen working papers. The reason for keeping is  not the count of papers, but the citations, which show notability  the way it should be shown for academics, by the citing of his work by hundreds of other scholars which establishes him as an expert in his field. "The expansion of foreign direct investments: discrete rational location choices or a cultural learning process?" in  Journal of International Business Studies, 1992 had 319 citation in G Scholar. "Foreign market servicing: beyond choice of entry mode" in Journal of International Marketing, 1994, had 160. After that the counts are 145, 118, 113, 67.... Normally, anyone who manages to publish even one peer-reviewed paper with 100 citations is notable; he has published 5.   DGG ( talk ) 02:36, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep per DGG. Alessandra Napolitano (talk) 18:28, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Meets WP:PROF criterion #1 (significant impact in scholarly discipline, broadly construed). Has an h-index of 18 on GS, a clear keep. His most cited article, “The expansion of foreign direct investments: discrete rational location choices or a cultural learning process?”, has alone over 300 citation to it, as noted by DGG.--Eric Yurken (talk) 20:11, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
