Despite research on the role of network (over)embeddedness in the international business context is gaining momentum, a lack of consistency in the underpinnings of its conceptualization characterizes the field. Prior research has indeed investigated embeddedness under an array of different perspectives, contributing to the fragmentation of both its theoretical and empirical investigation. This paper objective is to provide a complete overview of the conceptualization and investigation of embeddedness in IB scholarship. We conduct a systematic literature review of 111 conceptual and empirical articles published over the past two decades. Ultimately, the study advances an integrative framework summarizing the bright and dark sides of
embeddedness at four level of analysis, as well as future research avenues for international business scholars.
