摘要：Host-country corruption discourages multinational firms' foreign investments. Nonetheless, multinationals may still want to invest to benefit from local business opportunities. To deal with the challenges of operating in a corrupt host country, they can use experience gained in other corrupt countries. We distinguish between clean hands and dirty hands learning about corruption - that is to say, learning how to avoid bribing, or learning how to pay bribes and avoid traceability. We disentangle...

摘要：Multinational enterprises (MNEs) can be agents of positive climate action by deploying their vast resources, technology, capital, and collaborative partnerships. They can also promote cross-border mobility of corporate governance and regulatory standards. Allen et al. (J Int Bus Stud, 2024) provide a systematic descriptive analysis to support such an MNE role. In my commentary, I provide a perspective from low-income countries, particularly Africa. Although they face disproportionate climate i...

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：Allen et al. (2024a) present an insightful and comprehensive analysis of the role multinationals (MNEs) can play in tackling worldwide climate change challenges. Acknowledging that this role is complex and multifaceted, they pay special attention to the financing of climate change initiatives and the unique advantages MNEs have in this regard. I reflect on Allen et al.'s key arguments and proposals and their underlying assumptions, which I found to be overly optimistic on multiple grounds. The...

摘要：Employing a prosocial perspective, this study examines how crowdfunders' prosocial motivation influences their lending decisions on international crowdfunding platforms, addressing the global challenge of poverty alleviation. We posit that prosocially motivated crowdfunders, concerned about economic inequality and others' well-being, are more likely to lend to poorer borrowers to minimize inequality and improve welfare. Analyzing a large dataset from Kiva.org with machine learning techniques, ...

摘要：Climate change and the associated issue of curbing carbon emissions have risen on the agenda of policymakers worldwide. However, global coordination on matters such as harmonized regulation has been subject to significant political frictions, and the large intergovernmental transfers needed to finance the transition of developing economies have proven hard to raise. Recently, there have been considerable responses to climate change from the private sector, with stakeholders placing more pressu...
