摘要:Language affects almost every aspect of management in multinational enterprises (MNEs) but little is known about the impact of language on environmental performance. Our study investigates how language diversity affects the environmental performance of MNEs worldwide. We show that the grammatical structure of a language - specifically the first pronoun drop - is an important factor explaining the environmental performance of firms. Our analysis of 4454 company-year observations suggests that M...

摘要:The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are changing the way multinational enterprises (MNEs) engage with host governments. The SDGs offer MNEs a unique opportunity to build political influence by assisting governments in attaining a host country's social needs. However, international business scholars have largely remained silent on how MNEs strategize to repurpose 'doing good' into political influence. Based on a multiple case study of four Western European MNE subsidiaries i...

摘要:Subsidiary general manager (GM) succession selection is a critical process in multinational enterprises (MNEs). Previous research, grounded in organizational learning and routines, has suggested that GM succession dynamics typically follow either an acceleration or a deceleration momentum. However, as we investigated succession decision-making heuristics through interviews with MNE managers, we observed neither acceleration nor deceleration. Instead, we found some consistent succession dynamic...

摘要:Nation-states are designing their industrial policies increasingly to not only enhance national competitiveness, but also to simultaneously address Green Challenges, concerns about the natural environment that require concerted action among different actors in society, including domestic and foreign multinational enterprises (MNEs). This blending of global and national policy objectives is leading to a new wave of industrial policies in advanced economies that are informed by scholarly discour...

摘要:A substantial body of literature has shown that political connections have benefited firms domestically, but their cross-border value for multinational enterprises (MNEs) remains understudied. This paper provides novel evidence on the strategic advantages MNEs gain through political ties in host countries and the consequences for domestic firms. Examining foreign companies' contributions to US political campaigns through political action committees (PACs) sponsored by their US subsidiaries, we...

摘要:We study the U.S.-China rivalry in the context of geopolitical techno-nationalism, the use of technology policies to develop or maintain geopolitical advantage. We follow the international relations literature to argue that an incumbent hegemon, when threatened, seeks to maintain the balance of power through a combination of domestic policies and external alliances. We examine the effects of two policies on Chinese firms' technology acquisitions: China's Made in China 2025 (MIC2025), initiated...

摘要:We show that shared and improved auditing standards, as induced by the audit oversight arising from the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB)'s inspections on non-U.S. auditors, help global exporting firms upgrade themselves and tap into global value chains (GVCs). Using a dataset of U.S. waterway imports from global suppliers of 36 countries, we find that PCAOB international inspections not only lead to significantly more exports to U.S. buyers, particularly for intermediate and c...
