摘要:We study how global connectedness can help MNEs become more environmentally sustainable. Based on the idea that environmental sustainability requires dynamic capabilities, we define dynamic green capability as the ability to build complementary green competences and reconfigure organizationally embedded resources to pursue competitive advantage in a rapidly changing stakeholder environment. We argue that MNEs with greater global connectedness in terms of international diversification or intern...

摘要:We agree with Aguinis and Gabriel that, contrary to Eden and Nielsen, international business (IB) is not uniquely complex, but argue that it faces two unique challenges. First, because it deals with cross-country phenomena, IB data are less plentiful and reliable. Second, because IB uses many imported theories, and they tend to be influenced by the national environment of their authors, they often have, taken as is, limited applicability in many of the contexts IB studies. We illustrate our tw...

摘要:This study investigates how the institutional complexity of a multinational corporation (MNC) impacts its accounting quality. Toward that end, we employ a unique sample of MNCs registering subsidiaries in offshore financial centers (OFCs). Our focus is the tension between external governance mechanisms (i.e., US cross-listing, home-country institutional context) and internal governance mechanisms (OFC subsidiaries). Consistent with the corporate governance bonding hypothesis, we show that cros...

摘要:The event study or event study method (ESM) is an empirical technique for capturing investors' reaction to an event affecting one or more publicly traded firms. The ESM has been little employed in international business (IB) research despite its frequency in accounting, economics, and finance; for example, only two percent of the empirical articles in JIBS over 1970-2019 include an event study. While this scarcity could indicate a lack of demand, we argue that the field of IB studies offers ma...

摘要:Understanding government institutions in a host country is crucial for MNC subsidiaries. This is challenging, as host-country institutions not only relate to formal institutions, such as laws and regulations, but also to informal institutions, like traditions and beliefs. We study the hiring of employees with government work experience as a channel through which foreign MNC subsidiaries can better understand host-country institutions. Government work represents a context in which employees hav...

摘要:We study MNEs that tie their long-lasting competitiveness and internationalization to the deployment of their heritage assets, administrative heritage, and signature processes built in their home markets. When faced with changes, these authentic firms scan for and buffer against threats to their signature processes, use their heritage endowment to focus on their capacity to maintain and defend their niches, and preserve their capacity for stability. We complement the traditional dynamic capabi...

摘要:Lindner et al. (J Int Bus Stud 51:283-298, 2020; hereafter LPV) and Kalnins (Strateg Manag J 39(8):2362-2385, 2018) have published recent original analyses on multicollinearity, but the conclusions appear contradictory. LPV argue that multicollinearity does not affect the validity of regression coefficients, but only their reliability. In other words, multicollinearity does not bias coefficients, but only inflates standard errors. In Kalnins (2018), I conclude that multicollinearity may bias c...
