  摘要：Based on a relational view of international business, we investigate the role of migrant inventors in cross-border mergers and acquisitions undertaken by R&D-active firms. We hypothesize that the migrant inventors' international social networks can be leveraged by their employers in order to identify and/or integrate relevant knowledge bases of acquisition targets in the inventors' home country. We nuance our hypothesis by means of several conditional logistic regressions on a large matched sa...

  摘要：Insights from social network research have generated significant advancements in disciplines such as sociology, economics, and psychology. In comparison, the incorporation of social network ideas into international business (IB) research remains more limited. The purpose of this special issue is to foster further research on social networks in IB. In our introductory essay, we provide a brief overview of network research in the IB domain to give a sense of some of the major ongoing themes and ...

  摘要：We show the relevance of extant international business (IB) research, and more specifically work on international human resources management (IHRM), to address COVID-19 pandemic challenges. Decision-makers in multinational enterprises have undertaken various types of actions to alleviate the impacts of the pandemic. In most cases these actions relate in some way to managing distance and to rethinking boundaries, whether at the macro- or firm-levels. Managing distance and rethinking boundaries ...
• Change in domestic network centrality, uncertainty, and the foreign divestment decisions of firms AI翻译
  作者：Iurkov, Viacheslav; Benito, Gabriel R. G.

  摘要：We investigate the role of domestic interfirm networks for the foreign divestment decisions of firms. We argue that firms' foreign operations risk being divested when a firm becomes more central in its domestic network. Positive changes in firm centrality at home facilitate access to information about new business opportunities, but they may also lead firms to consider reconfiguring their value chain activities and resources across locations. The resulting opportunity costs of maintaining fore...
• Network centrality and organizational aspirations: A behavioral interaction in the context of international strategic alliances AI翻译

  摘要：Whereas social network analysis has been associated with organizational aspirations, little is known on how firm's structural positioning, and particularly network centrality, affects organizational aspirations to engage in international strategic alliances (ISA). This study examines the impact of network centrality on firm's internationalization behavior within the ISA domain in response to the performance-aspiration gap. We build on social and behavioral perspectives to predict that network ...
• Social influence and MNE strategic response to political risk: A global network approach AI翻译
  作者：Cannizzaro, Anthony P.
  作者单位：Catholic University of America
  摘要：According to the conventional view of MNE-host country relations, MNEs faced with political risk condition their strategic responses on each party's relative power positions - or bargaining influence. Drawing insight from network theory, institutional theory, and international relations research, I argue that firm sensitivity to political risk is contingent upon a complementary concept: social influence. Social influence arises through the mutual embeddedness of MNE and host government in a co...
• Blending talents for innovation: Team composition for cross-border R&D collaboration within multinational corporations AI翻译

  摘要：Despite the upsurge in cross-border R&D collaboration within multinational corporations (MNCs), firms often fail to realize the full potential of cross-border R&D teams. We examine under what conditions geographic diversity might lead to higher or lower innovation performance by focusing on the moderating roles of team composition. We first demonstrate that the geographic diversity of an MNC's research team has a curvilinear (inverted U-shaped) relationship with the team's innovation performan...
• Who appropriates centrality rents? The role of institutions in regulating social networks in the global Islamic finance industry AI翻译
  作者：Gozubuyuk, Remzi; Kock, Carl Joachim; Uenal, Murat
  作者单位：Sabanci University; IE University
  摘要：This study explains and tests the effects of country-level institutions on the distribution of centrality rents between two sets of actors in an interorganizational network. Building on the literature on corporate elites, we propose that a cohesive elite following organizational logics other than profit-maximization diverts centrality rents and induces costs on firms, and that macro institutions act as external governance mechanisms to shape this relationship. We develop our theory in the emer...
