摘要：This study examined whether early movers and technology leaders attained superior performance in emerging economic regions. We assessed the determinants and performance consequences of two key aspects of entry strategy, resource commitment to technology transfer and timing of entry, using survey data from over 220 Sino-Japanese joint ventures (JVs) in China. Both high commitment and early entry had positive impacts on the perceived economic performance of the JVs. Yet these relationships were ...

摘要：This study examined the economic performance of the firms associated with Korean business groups by explicitly addressing groupwide resource sharing and internal business transactions. The results show that group-affiliated firms benefit from group membership through sharing intangible and financial resources with other member firms. Further, this study shows that various forms of internal business transactions, such as debt guarantee, equity investment, and internal trade, are extensively use...

摘要：Combining an agency perspective and downsizing research, in this study we examined two influences on employment-downsizing strategies in privatized firms in Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine: corporate governance and institutional change initiated by business crisis, in turn attributable to industry and country factors. In line with theoretical predictions, the study shows that downsizing is strongly influenced by industry-specific factors, and it is positively associated with outside, noninstituti...

摘要：This study of the international partner selection of firms from emerging (Mexico, Poland, and Romania) and developed (Canada, France, and the United States) markets supports resource-based and organizational learning explanations of such partner selection, a critical factor for success with international strategic alliances. Emerging market firms emphasized financial assets, technical capabilities, intangible assets, and willingness to share expertise in selection of partners more than develop...

摘要：This study jointly examines the effects of organizational capabilities and public and private expropriation hazards on the level of equity ownership chosen for foreign subsidiaries in emerging markets. Specifically, we explore the mechanisms by which 680 Japanese multinational corporations drew upon capabilities developed via industry-specific, country-specific, and total international experience to mitigate these hazards for their 2,827 subsidiaries in 18 emerging markets. Results strongly su...

摘要：This study of entry into Central and Eastern Europe via acquisition of privatized firms combines a traditional merger approach with consideration of host governments as critical stakeholders and the country-specific risks of foreign direct investment in formerly Communist countries. We analyzed survey data on 170 privatization acquisitions by Western firms. The results provide insights into critical managerial issues for acquisitions in transitional economies, especially the importance attache...

摘要：This study develops a framework for examining the export strategies of firms from emerging economies and their performance in foreign markets, Hypotheses derived from this framework were tested on a sample of firms from Brazil, Chile, and Mexico. Findings suggest that cost-based strategies enhance export performance in developed country markets and differentiation strategies enhance performance in other developing countries. Adapting marketing mix variables to the specific needs of developed c...

摘要：We demonstrate variation in the extent to which firms benefited from their affiliation with Chilean business groups in the 1988-96 period. The net benefits of unrelated diversification were positive if group diversification exceeded a threshold level, though this threshold increased with time. Sizable group benefits unrelated to diversification also existed, but they atrophied over time. We conjecture that the evolution of institutional context alters the value-creating potential of business g...

摘要：We examined the effects of perceived strategic uncertainty in seven environmental sectors on the scanning behavior of Russian executives. Strategic uncertainty was highest in sectors influenced by transition and was moderated by perceptions of accessibility in determining scanning frequency, a relationship that held in predicting sources of information scanned. The perceived importance of environmental conditions was central to the relationships, suggesting that decomposition of the strategic ...

摘要：Business groups in emerging economies result when entrepreneurs and firms accumulate the capability for repeated industry entry. Such a capability, however, can be maintained as a valuable, rare, and inimitable skill only as long as asymmetric foreign trade and investment conditions prevail. Cross-sectional and longitudinal data on a variety of emerging economies were used to test this hypothesis and three other competing explanations. The importance of business groups grew with foreign trade ...
