摘要：Multinational corporations (MNCs) are considered as dispersed structures of power, in which diverse headquarters (HQ)-subsidiary power relationships collectively influence performance and management. Yet, few studies have accounted for the subsidiary portfolio characteristics shaped by the entire set of differentiated HQ-subsidiary power relationships, and little is known about their effect on the performance and management decisions of MNCs. Drawing on agency and resource dependence theories,...

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：Using manually collected data on foreign owners from 39 international jurisdictions for the 2010-2018 period, we find that foreign ownership significantly reduces corporate excess perquisite consumption in Chinese-listed companies. We take the instrumental variable approach and confirm this causal relationship. Investors from jurisdictions with strong corporate governance and those committed to the principles of responsible investment have greater monitoring effects. Greater cultural distance ...

摘要：Drawing on institutional theory, we argue that the level of corruption in an alliance partner's country negatively affects the market reaction to a focal firm's international strategic alliance announcement, as corruption creates uncertainty regarding the behavior of the partner firm. We further propose that anti-bribery laws in the focal firm's home country strengthen the negative relation between corruption and market reactions, while the focal firm's experiences in challenging institutional...

摘要：The Welch et al. (J Int Bus Stud 42(5):740-762, 2011) JIBS Decade Award-winning article highlights the importance of the contextualization of international business research that is based on qualitative research methods. In this commentary, we build on their foundation and develop further the role of contextualization, in terms of the international business phenomena under study, contemporaneous conversations about qualitative research methods, and the situatedness of individual papers within ...

摘要：In our Decade Award-winning article from 2011 we argued that it is not possible to explain social phenomena without consideration of their contexts. However, a persistent assumption in international business (IB) is that theories should be context-free. This affects the methodological choices we make, favoring the inductive theory-building approach to theorizing from case studies. In 2011, we proposed an alternative - contextualized explanations - that in our view better utilizes the main stre...

摘要：We seek to complement and extend the article by Welch, Piekkari, Plakoyiannaki, and Paavilainen-Mantymaki (J Int Bus Stud 42:740-762, 2011), winner of the 2021 JIBS Decade Award, which advanced knowledge on case-based theory development in international business (IB). Similarly, we examine dimensions of scholarly inquiry across qualitative and quantitative research, using inductive and deductive approaches. Recent years have featured unprecedented growth in the volume and availability of data ...

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...
