John Harry Dunning (26 June 1927 – 29 January 2009) was a British economist and is widely recognised as the father of the field of international business.
He researched the economics of international direct investment and the multinational enterprise from the 1950s until his death.
In the 1980s, he published the eclectic paradigm or OLI-Model/Framework as further development on Internalization theory.
OLI remains the predominant theoretical perspective to study international business activities, notably foreign direct investment and multinational enterprises.
His first book, American Investment in British Manufacturing Industry (1958), is the first seminal work in the international business field.
