摘要:Bartlett and Ghoshal's transnational 'solution' for managing the MNC remains popular among scholars and practitioners alike. However, our in-depth qualitative study of Unilever, an exemplary case of a transnational, found that in the period 2000-2012 the company evolved into a very different organizational form with a distinct set of characteristics. We call this the neo-global corporation. In explaining how and why this transformation occurred, we turn to organizational evolutionary theory, a...

摘要:The emergence of digital platforms and ecosystems (DPE) as a venue for value creation and capture for multinational enterprises holds considerable implications for the theory and practice of international business. In this paper, we articulate these implications by considering the dual perspectives of cross-border platforms and ecosystems - as a venue for multifaceted innovation and as multisided marketplace - and focusing on three overarching themes at the intersection of DPEs and internation...

摘要:The rapid reshaping of the global economic order requires fundamental shifts in international business scholarship and management practice. New forms of protectionist policies, new types of internationalization motives, and new tools of techno-nationalism may lead to what we call bifurcated governance at the macro-level and value chain decoupling at the micro-level. As a result, innovation networks will require novel reconfigurations. We examine the emerging constraints on multinational enterp...

摘要:This study examines the relationship between corporate internationalization and the cost of equity capital. We find that international diversification reduces the cost of equity. The diversification benefits are particularly strong during the 2008 financial crisis and for financially constrained firms. We also find that market-specific factors serve as important channels through which the corporate internationalization effects amplify or attenuate. Overall, our study provides support for theor...

摘要:The international tax regime in relation to multinational enterprises (MNEs) is ineffective and a rethink is required. We illustrate that the tax avoidance motive of MNEs can incentivize managers to locate profits in low-tax jurisdictions without affecting the locations of their real operations. We also argue that proposals to tax shareholders and consumers rather than corporate profits face significant theoretical and practical obstacles. Finally, we extend a recently proposed model to tax MN...

摘要:The current Separate Accounting'' taxation of corporations gives governments the right to tax the national incomes of firms operating within their borders. However, multinational and increasingly digital business models beg the question: what is national taxable income? We argue that a radical rethink of the corporate taxation - moving away from a separate taxation of national corporate income to a taxation of global corporate income allocated via Formula Apportionment'' - is long overdue. Glo...

摘要:This paper investigates how foreign ownership shapes bank information environments. Using a sample of listed banks from 60 countries over 1997-2012, we show that foreign ownership is significantly associated with greater (lower) informativeness (synchronicity) in bank stock prices. We also find that stock returns of foreign-owned banks reflect more information about future earnings. In addition, the positive association between price informativeness and foreign ownership is stronger for foreig...

摘要:Microfoundations have become an important theme in recent macro-management research. However, the international management (IM) field is an exception to this. We document the lack of attention on microfoundations in IM research by focusing on knowledge sharing - a key IM research field - which we investigate by means of a keyword-based literature study of the leading IM and general management journals. We discuss possible reasons why microfoundations have so far met with less resonance in IM r...

摘要:The 2013 collapse of the Rana Plaza building in Dhaka, Bangladesh, led external stakeholders to insist on higher labor standards in apparel global value chains (GVCs). Stakeholders now expect MNEs to take 'full-chain' responsibility. However, the increased monitoring and enforcement costs of a large network of suppliers have been non-trivial. MNEs instead implement a 'cascading compliance' approach, coupled with a partial re-internalization. Elevated costs are further exacerbated in developing...
