摘要：The current increasing volatility in international politics makes it more important to understand how multinational enterprises respond to political tension between host and home countries. This paper explains the impact of macro-level bilateral political tension on micro-level strategy of multinationals in the host country. We developed the idea that patenting may be used to signal a firm's commitment and contribution to the host country's economy and development. Data on 437 large multinatio...

摘要：Despite the volume of research and significant advancements in the country-of-origin (CO) area, the topic remains contentious in two key areas. One area is the presence of tensions and contradictions associated with origin-related research. The second relates to an over-reliance on relatively narrow theories that can neither address disparities nor capture a range of CO ecosystem considerations critical to the effective use of results in addressing firm-level planning and outcomes. Our examina...

摘要：We study how a multinational corporation may take advantage of geopolitical tensions to further its goals. We maintain that multinationals can influence the diplomatic relationship between the host and the home countries by acting as a diplomatic broker between the two. We advance the concept of corporate diplomatic activities to describe this strategy and to theorize its benefits and risks. To this end, we adopt a history-to-theory approach and examine the role the US multinational Standard O...

摘要：Status is an important intangible asset, yet when firms enter new countries, they lack standing in new social hierarchies as outsiders. Conventional wisdom suggests embeddedness in host-country networks can alleviate newcomers' liability of outsidership. We complement this with insights from status signaling theory: Newcomers in host countries can address their liability of outsidership through the visual display of social affiliations. We utilize a novel visual qualitative research approach t...

摘要：The crucial role and fragility of global supply chains highlight the need for deeper insights into the factors that can promote the establishment of global supply chain relations. We examine the impact of financial statement comparability on firms' establishment of global supply chain relations. Using a large sample of supply chain relations from 49 non-U.S. economies over the period 2003-2020, we find that non-U.S. firms are more likely to establish and maintain more supply chain relations wi...

摘要：We study how collectivism, religion-tradition, thriftiness, and status/materialist consumption values jointly shape consumption preferences in seven Asian markets. These markets are diverse but relatively small, so identifying similarities should help companies implement standardized marketing strategies. Using data from 3000+ consumers, we find the effects to be largely similar. Collectivistic values directly and indirectly increase both religious and thriftiness values, both of which negativ...

摘要：Foreign direct investment (FDI) remains a preferred mode for multinational enterprises to access international markets, resources, and technology. However, there are vigorous debates in the academic literature about the magnitude of inward FDI spillovers and their effect on the economic growth of host countries. In this paper, we argue that these empirical inconsistencies arise from the narrow home-host bilateral context in which inward FDI spillovers are analyzed. Further, we show that the in...
