摘要：In this commentary, we engage with the study by Carney, El Ghoul, Guedhami, Lu and Wang, titled Political corporate social responsibility: The role of deliberative capacity.'' Their study provides empirical support for earlier claims that deliberative capacity - the capacity of political institutions to enable diverse stakeholders to collectively assemble and voice their opinions - is an important building block to understanding the prominence or lack thereof of corporate social responsibility...

摘要：A primary research area within the field of international business (IB) is to establish the extent to which concepts, theories, and findings identified in one country are applicable to other contexts and which are unique and cannot be found in other contexts. Researchers in IB acknowledge the importance of the context in their studies, but the practice of assessing equivalence (or invariance) is not widely diffused within the community. We first discuss the components of equivalence (construct...

In particular, we discuss disparities in vaccine distribution, government policy responses, and impacts in low-income versus high-income countries, as well as lessons learned from the pandemic. ...

摘要：Although many of the benefits of cross-listing have been examined in prior research, potential improvements in price efficiency have received less attention. We examine the differences in price efficiencies between American depositary receipts (ADRs) of foreign firms and the shares listed in their home markets. Based on multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis (MF-DFA) of the daily price of 200 ADRs and their domestically listed shares for the period from January 2010 to June 2019, we find ...

摘要：International joint ventures (IJVs) have become an important source of critical knowledge for multinational enterprises, but little is known about how knowledge can be effectively transferred to parent firms when the potential for interpartner opportunism still exists. Drawing on attachment theory, we study how boundary-spanning commitments to IJVs may help mitigate interpartner opportunism and facilitate effective knowledge transfer to parents. Specifically, we argue that knowledge transfer f...

摘要：Employees with relevant knowledge and skills for digitalization have become increasingly important for the competitiveness of MNCs. However, the shortage of such digital human capital in many host countries is putting pressure on MNC subsidiaries to prevent these employees from leaving. We theorize that the retention of digital human capital in MNC subsidiaries does not merely depend on salaries but crucially on the learning opportunities that subsidiaries offer. By integrating mechanisms from...

摘要：Digital technologies are changing how businesses strategize and organize internationally. They not only enable cost reduction in businesses crossing national boundaries but also enable novel types of products and business models. Yet, barriers to cross-border businesses persist or even re-emerge, such that the study of international business remains important in the digital age, but may have to shift focus. We argue that businesses operating internationally develop digital business strategies ...

摘要：The advent of Industry 4.0 promises to transform the global business landscape, the nature of markets and industries, and the way multinationals organize their operations as well as how and where they compete. These changes will have important - indeed profound - implications for IB scholarship. In this article, we explain Industry 4.0 and its distinguishing characteristics; discuss its organizational and strategic implications for multinationals; and outline the fundamental questions it raise...

摘要：The purpose of this JIBS editorial is to outline the vision and mission of the new JIBS Societal Impact Advisory Committee (SIAC). We define societal impact as research that has potential effects outside academia, for example, on communities, economies, environments, and other actors. We propose that societal impact is especially important for international business (IB) research but also particularly challenging, given the cross-national dimensions of IB and the differing social, economic, a...
