摘要：With multinational corporations (MNCs) increasingly taking public stances on sociopolitical issues such as immigration, LGBTQ+ rights, and racism, it is imperative that international business (IB) research keeps pace with normative societal debates. In this paper, we introduce the concept of corporate sociopolitical activism (SPA) to the IB literature and develop a theory on why MNCs consistently or inconsistently engage in SPA in response to the same issue in their home country and a host cou...

摘要：Allen et al. (J Int Bus Stud, 2024) present a compelling argument that MNEs can play a role in mitigating climate change by utilizing their vast resources, technological advancements, and global reach. They provide a broad set of suggestions of what MNEs can do to advance sustainability across borders but leave the critical question of why MNEs would engage in this effort less explored. In reflecting on their work, I suggest that sustainable MNE initiatives require an interplay of both extrins...

摘要：We propose and empirically test a product market motive for cross-listing, positing that intensified competition in domestic markets incentivizes firms to cross-list their securities as a strategic response to mitigate the adverse impact of heightened competition at home. Utilizing a hand-collected comprehensive cross-listing dataset covering 56 home countries and 45 cross-listing host countries, along with a novel measure of competition law reforms that intensify product market competition in...

摘要：Industrial policy, the use of state power to influence the development of industries, has become increasingly influential in international business, yet its firm-level dynamics remain understudied. Through a history-to-theory approach and microhistorical analysis, we investigate how the Finnish shipbuilding industry employed nonmarket strategies (NMS) to influence outward-oriented industrial policies that supported its international expansion. Grounded in New Institutional Economics, we identi...

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：The global mobility of people has transformed how multinational enterprises (MNEs) manage and benefit from multiple locations. We examine the changing locational boundedness of human capital with globalization and how this has impacted the competitiveness of MNEs. The growing use of quasi-internalization through the active reliance on global value chains and outsourcing has altered the way MNEs spatially organize their activities to optimize their access to human capital, a key source of owner...

摘要：The Nachum et al. (J Int Bus Stud 54(5):938-955, 2023) Point article and the Kamoche and Wood (J Int Bus Stud 54(5):956-967, 2023) Counterpoint article each use interesting theory to argue that people-centric mechanisms and indigenous theories of Africa, respectively, offer opportunities for international business (IB) research. Although interesting theory is centered on academic impact, there are other impacts-societal, practical, policy, and educational-that matter to IB scholars of Africa. ...

摘要：The recent growth of the digital economy and technological advances has created new patterns of FDI and international involvement. We contribute to the debate on nontraditional (NT) entry modes in a changing digital world-virtual presence, digital platforms, and innovation outposts. We provide fresh insights into real option theory (ROT) and MNE theory, explaining new forms of international involvement within a dynamic ROT portfolio perspective. We discuss uncertainty and correlation among mar...

摘要：Recent years have seen a rise in global trade of green products-those designed to minimize environmental harm compared to traditional alternatives. In this study, we examine the relevance of pollution haven effects-i.e., shifts of production toward countries with less stringent environmental standards-in firms' global sourcing strategies for green products. Given the importance of credible and sustainable manufacturing practices in firms' global value chains for green products, we expect that ...
