摘要:Classic business literature asserts the central role of marketing as foundational to the existence of organizations, and further notes that marketing must permeate all areas of a business enterprise. Leveraging this premise, we examine marketing scholars' contributions to the international business (IB) literature - specifically notable works in exporting and market entry. Despite the overarching role of marketing in business, our systematic examination of published works in JIBS identified on...

摘要:The emerging digital context for international business along with rising deglobalization forces have accentuated multinational enterprises' organizing challenges, particularly with regard to managing relationships with global platform and ecosystem partners. We propose that the loose coupling perspective, which suggests the coexistence of coupling (linkages) to maintain responsiveness and looseness (separateness) to retain distinctiveness, can provide valuable insights on addressing such exte...

摘要:In this article, we address several limitations of prior international business studies that investigate how and why intellectual property rights (IPR) institutions evolve in ways of consequence to multinationals. To do this, we develop a dynamic stakeholder-based view (SBV) of micro- and macro-processes shaping the evolution of formal institutions. The SBV micro-processes include (1) establishment of endogenous and exogenous stakeholders, (2) formation of stakeholders' interests, (3) evaluati...

摘要:When entering international markets, manufacturers of consumer products are expected to adapt their products in order to meet local consumption practices. Doing so is particularly challenging for producers of culturally-specific products-that is, products that are little known, understood, or valued outside their original cultural milieu-whose operations are often deeply embedded in local conventions and traditions. To examine how SMEs navigate tensions between the cultural specificity of prod...

摘要:We examine the relative merits of state (SOE) and private (POE) ownership on firm invention output in emerging as well as developed economies. Firm SOE affords a vehicle by which governments throughout the world encourage risky investment in new technological paths. Yet, from a traditional agency-theoretical standpoint, SOEs are plagued by low-powered incentives and dysfunctional involvement (e.g., wasteful budgets and political meddling), which reduces SOE performance, relative to POEs. To ex...

摘要:Using a comprehensive dataset of firms from 34 countries, we study the effect of institutional investors' investment horizons on firm valuation around the world. We find a positive relation between institutional ownership and firm value that is driven by short-horizon institutional investors. Accounting for the interaction between investors' investment horizon and nationality, we show that foreign short-horizon institutions, which are more likely to discipline managers through the threat of ex...

摘要:Can state governance spur firm innovation in an emerging economy and transform state-owned enterprises (SOEs) from dying dinosaurs to dynamic dynamos? We seek an answer to this question by investigating the innovative performance of restructured SOEs in China's high-speed train sector. We expect that SOE restructuration will improve firm innovation, but that the degree of improvement will depend on how the state conducts firm governance. Building on institutional theory, we distinguish state g...

摘要:Ten years ago, Stahl et al. (J Int Bus Stud 41:690-709, 2010) performed a meta-analysis of the literature on cultural diversity and team performance, aiming to improve our understanding of the mechanisms and contextual conditions under which cultural diversity affects team processes (p. 691). State-of-the-art studies still echo the article's conclusion about the 'double-edged sword' of cultural diversity, referring to the trade-off between process losses and gains. In this commentary, we asses...

摘要:The role of key individuals, such as the chief marketing officer (CMO), in the internationalization process has largely been ignored in the international business literature. Given the importance of the CMO in internationalization and to address this gap in the literature, this study focuses on the role of the CMO - a key individual in organizations who, with adequate levels of discretion, can act as a conduit of knowledge in international markets, facilitating the internationalization of the ...
