摘要：This paper studies the effect of the United States (US) Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) on US multinational firms' foreign direct investment (FDI). Unlike prior studies that focused on the passage of the FCPA, our study examines how the actual enforcement of the FCPA affects firms' foreign investment decisions. We show that initial FCPA enforcement in a host country triggers MNEs to reassess their likelihood of being targeted, which in turn has a strong deterrence effect on subsequent US ...

摘要：This study examines the interactive effects of host-country societal trust and formal institutions on foreign subsidiary staffing strategies. Based on the conceptualization of institutions in new institutional economics, we demonstrate that high societal trust and strong formal institutions that support market-based exchange jointly reduce the incidence of expatriate staffing in foreign subsidiaries. We identify two contingency factors - subsidiary interdependence and host-country experience -...

摘要：Foreignness has long been a central construct in international business research, with research streams examining its conceptualizations, manifestations, and consequences. Researchers started by taking foreignness to be a liability, then later considered the possibility of its being an asset. A still more recent view is that foreignness is an organizational identity that a firm can purposefully manage. Broadly conceived, foreignness is an umbrella construct that directly or tangentially covers...

摘要：Competing in an era of de-globalization presents new challenges for multinationals, particularly for those from large emerging economies. Emerging market MNEs (EMNEs) in the past benefited from an open, globalizing context that facilitates springboard and compositional strategies. De-globalization makes it significantly harder for them to continue this journey. This study tackles the question of what it takes for EMNEs to execute compositional springboard strategies in the new era, making five...

摘要：Family-controlled firms (FCFs)' prevalence, strategies, and performance differ across countries. We explain these differences through the lens of informal institutions, suggesting that different countries have different levels of appreciation for family business. To capture this effect, we introduce the construct of family business legitimacy (FBL) and an associated index (FBLI). We empirically measure FBLI scores for 83 countries spanning both developed and emerging economies. By combining me...

摘要：We examine the relationship between women directors and corporate social performance (CSP) by considering the contingency effects of home-country culture. Drawing on upper echelons and social role theories, we hypothesize that greater women representation on boards positively affects CSP due to their distinctive expertise, perspectives, and knowledge in this area, which strengthen their firms' attention and resources devoted to it. We then draw on the cultural perspective to explain how nation...

摘要：Multiculturals - individuals with notable cultural knowledge, skills, abilities, and other characteristics (KSAOs) - are widely assumed to contribute to MNE performance leading, ultimately, to global competitive advantages. We nuance this general belief by arguing that what matters for an MNE's competitive advantage is not the employment of multiculturals per se, but rather the MNE's ability to transform multiculturals' KSAOs into strategic human capital resources by creating complementarities...

摘要：This study examines firm internal network structures as a defense of intellectual property rights (IPR) in high-risk environments with inadequate IPR protection. Specifically, we investigate firm social and knowledge-based network structures individually. A foreign subsidiary can intensify social complexity by strengthening the small-worldness in its collaboration networks and attenuate knowledge-relatedness by decreasing the small-worldness in its knowledge networks. In a subsidiary, the effe...

摘要：This editorial introduces the literature on informal institutions and international business (IB) as well as the Special Issue. Informal institutions serve as the invisible threads that connect the fabric of social groupings, making them a critical element in the study of IB, but also especially challenging to capture both theoretically and empirically. As a result, there has been limited work on the topic, a lack of clarity on how to conceptualize and measure informal institutions, and a limi...
