摘要：This essay revisits my 2014 JIBS article about the potential for integrating international business internalization theory with a strategic management capabilities perspective. It recaps the capabilities framework with an emphasis on the learning required of emerging market multinationals and illustrates this with the case of Hyundai Motor Company's internationalization and growth. It also discusses two aspects of the global economy that have become more prominent since 2014 in shaping interna...

摘要：Globalization of cultural goods has grown substantively over the past decade. Rooted in the home-country social context, cultural goods are inherently foreign when traded in a host country. However, how foreignness is manifested in cultural goods, and how the associated liability and asset of foreignness jointly affect their host-country market performance remain unclear. We address these questions by examining 304 Hollywood movies in China from 2011 to 2018, focusing on semiotic foreignness -...

摘要：Emerging extended reality (XR) technologies, such as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), enable global businesses to deliver immersive experiences to customers beyond geographical borders. Despite the opportunities, leveraging XR innovations in foreign markets can present significant challenges. This study investigates whether and under what conditions global businesses experience liability of foreignness (LOF) when leveraging XR innovations. We argue that LOF in XR innovations ar...

摘要：Dictionary-based methods are widely used to assess the information content of corporate disclosures, yet they are primarily developed within the U.S. context. This study applies a popular U.S.-based dictionary approach to analyze the disclosure sentiment of 200,960 earnings call transcripts across 85 countries. While disclosure sentiment is positively associated with short-window stock returns globally, the relationship is approximately 30% weaker for non-U.S. firms. Drawing on cultural accoun...

摘要：With increasing public attention to corporate sustainability, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) controversies emerging in global supply chains present a growing problem for multinational enterprises (MNEs). This paper investigates whether MNEs with geographically dispersed suppliers are more likely to be exposed to supplier-related ESG controversies. It also explores structural characteristics of global supply chains that can mitigate MNEs' exposure to such controversies. Building on...

摘要：A substantial body of research highlights how stringent regulations disrupt innovators' incentives and increase transaction costs, yet their information processing implication remains understudied. Building on information processing theory, we study how the interplay between formal and informal institutions shapes inventors' information processing in developing artificial intelligence (AI) innovation. We examine the effect of stringent privacy regulations on AI innovation by exploiting the Eur...

摘要：As a disciplinary field, international business (IB) is characterized by language diversity. Too often, however, international business (IB) research regards language diversity as a challenge to be overcome rather than an opportunity to generate new scientific knowledge. Consequently, previous research has primarily focused on the pragmatic, logistical, and methodological hurdles of translating multilingual datasets. In contrast, this conceptual paper takes language diversity as an opportunity...

摘要：Global social media (GSM) is reshaping cultural industries by enabling digital content creators to share their content with global audiences. The resulting surge in content heralds a new era of experience-based consumption, where multicultural audiences continually seek novel experiences and rapidly shift to content that aligns with their evolving interests. The dynamic landscape of GSM indicates a substantial gap in digital internationalization research that largely focuses on overcoming the ...

摘要：A growing body of literature highlights that large-scale investments in sensitive contexts can undermine both firm financial performance and peace-positive development. We investigate whether and under what conditions foreign direct investment (FDI) proximate to Indigenous land claims increases or decreases conflict. Drawing on social movement theory's identification of powerful frames and political opportunity structures as drivers of mobilization, we predict that FDI proximate to Indigenous ...

摘要：How should a multinational enterprise (MNE) shape its own agility in response to the environments in which it operates? In this paper we argue that proactive investments in switching-flexibility, e.g., to facilitate future relocations of production assets, can be a powerful tool for handling international business (IB) volatility. If options to invest in future flexibility are exercised strategically, international relocation may become a more frequent phenomenon in high than in low volatility...
