摘要：Different theories offer different predictions of the impact of competition on corporate social responsibility (CSR). The stakeholder value and product differentiation theories hold that intensifying competition spurs firms to increase corporate social responsibility (CSR) to strengthen relationships with non-shareholder stakeholders (e.g., workers, suppliers, customers, and local communities) and differentiate their products to gain pricing power. However, textbook theories of the firm imply ...

摘要：Ten years ago, Welch, Piekkari, Plakoyiannaki, and Paavilainen-Mantymaki (2011) constructed a typology of theorizing from case studies based on the trade-off between causal explanation and contextualization. The typology consists of four methods of theorizing - interpretive sensemaking, contextualized explanation, inductive theory-building, and natural experiment. While Welch et al.'s work to enrich case study theorizing is commendable, the alleged trade-off between causal explanation and cont...

摘要：The notion that multinational companies (MNCs) are comprised of multiple subsidiaries in different countries is one that underpins voluminous research in international management. This body of research was recently the subject of an authoritative and comprehensive review in this journal (Meyer et al. in J Int Bus Stud 51(4):538-576, 2020). However, we share the concerns about the prevalence of the term 'subsidiary' within academic writing expressed by some others (Mees-Buss et al. in J Int Bus...

摘要：Informal institutions such as Guanxi play a critical role in compensating for insufficient formal institutions in emerging markets. Arising from the institutional evolution, Chinese entrepreneurs' participation in political systems induces the emergence of new types of Guanxi that the entrepreneurs can draw on in internationalizing their new ventures. Drawing from institutional and cognitive decision-making theories, we theorize that the entrepreneurs' political participation enhances their se...

摘要：This paper adopts an organizational identity work perspective to examine how MNE subsidiaries manage dual embeddedness to strategically position themselves in both their local context and in the global MNE. Prior research suggests that although dual embeddedness provides benefits, it also brings challenges, as subsidiaries must effectively balance external pressures and expectations with internal ones. Through a qualitative case study of organizational identity work in the subsidiaries of a No...

摘要：We systematically review the literature on customer satisfaction, partitioning the literature into three generations of thought and focus, with the most recent, third generation, heavily emphasizing international business phenomena. Following a brief, stage-setting review of the first two generations - which address, respectively, the psychological underpinnings of the satisfaction concept, its antecedents, and consequences (first-generation), and the relationship between customer satisfaction...

摘要：Intellectual property rights (IPRs) are of critical importance in international business. The implications for firm strategy and for policymakers are rarely aligned because the optimal level of IPR protection can be quite different from the country- and the firm-level perspectives. There is considerable heterogeneity in firm strategies, the spatial distribution of their innovation activities, and their IPR portfolios. There is still greater variation between countries, their IPR legislation an...
