摘要:Ioannou and Serafeim's (J Int Bus Stud 43:1-31, 2012) JIBS Decade Award-winning article outlines the impact of national institutional differences on firm corporate social performance (CSP). We build on their contribution by proposing that to identify how national institutions shape CSP, we need to consider various levels that have an impact on this relationship, i.e., the micro, firm, subnational, and supranational levels. We elaborate on each of these levels to argue that scholars should cons...

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:We review and bridge the literature on the internationalization of state-owned firms and sovereign wealth funds to provide a novel understanding of how government ownership affects foreign investments in three ways. First, we explain how state-owned firms and funds behave differently from private ones because they need to balance governments' nonbusiness objectives and firms' business goals. This results in competing predictions on whether government ownership helps or hinders internationaliza...

摘要:We replicate and extend Mohr et al.'s work (Journal of International Business Studies 47: 408-426, 2016), which hypothesized that increased state participation in the equity of international joint ventures (IJVs) decreased dissolution likelihoods, as tested with a sample of 623 Sino-foreign IJVs in the 1985-2009 period. Given the rapid developments in China's economy and its institutional environment, we ask the question of whether the effects in Mohr et al. (2016) can be observed over a long ...

摘要:Concerns have been raised as to the potentially deleterious effects of advertising on society. We examine this issue given the recent calls to explore the societal effects of international business activities, the substantive nature of advertising spending globally, and the movement by governments to hold businesses accountable for societal harms. We build upon the general theory of competitive rationality, suggesting a positive relationship between advertising spending and happiness at the co...

摘要:In our Decade Award-winning article from 2012, we theorized and provided evidence consistent with nation-level institutions having a significant impact on corporate social performance (CSP) variation across companies. By establishing a link between the macro (i.e., country level) and micro (i.e., firm level) levels of analysis and by synthesizing across multiple disciplines including institutional economics, political science, cultural research, and institutional theory, we were able to demons...

摘要:Despite the surge of interest in digital globalization, its social dimensions have received far less attention than deserved. The lack of conversation between the two prominent areas of IB research, digitalization, and corporate social responsibility, presents a valuable opportunity for extending the agenda Ioannou and Serafeim (J Int Bus Stud 43(9):834-864, 2012) pioneered a decade earlier. We briefly depict the organizational differences between multinational enterprises (MNEs) and multinati...

摘要:International diversification is a fundamental pillar of multinational corporations' (MNCs) growth strategies. Consequently, there is a considerable body of research on the performance implications of MNCs' international diversification strategies. We extend this literature by adopting a relational view where we compare the diversification profiles of firms in an inter-organizational context. We argue that the relative characteristics of firms' and their partners' diversification profiles is a...
