摘要:We investigate determinants of global knowledge sourcing of overseas R&D subsidiaries, shedding light on vertical cross-border embeddedness within firms. Drawing on the paradox of embeddedness perspective, which assumes that embeddedness may facilitate or hinder knowledge transfer, we examine the extent to which different types of internal vertical embeddedness administrative versus knowledge - facilitate global knowledge sourcing. We find that vertical administrative embeddedness inhibits glo...

摘要:This study uses a large sample of Korean firms to examine institutional blockholders' influence on corporate earnings management. The Korean market is an interesting setting to study institutional monitoring because it is dominated by chaebols, which are characterized by ineffective internal governance mechanisms. We find evidence that institutional blockholders deter opportunistic financial reporting, and such activities are the most evident among domestic institutional blockholders. Foreign ...

摘要:Focusing on the initial stage of foreign market selection (i.e., narrowing a set of potential countries from which to make a final choice), we theorize that manager's country familiarity influences both the decision-making process and outcome. We hypothesize that with increasing country familiarity, (a) manager investment of cognitive effort (process) first increases and then decreases, and (b) the likelihood of a country being included for further consideration (outcome) also increases and th...

摘要:We aim to build a greater understanding of how young entrepreneurial firms internationalize fast through foreign subsidiaries to become a multinational enterprise (MNE). Despite the prevalence of fast-paced international expansion, theory development on how it is achieved through high-commitment entry modes has been scarce. Our work substantially addresses this gap by conceptualizing how rapid multinationalization occurs. Using qualitative case studies, we explore eight young entrepreneurial f...

摘要:The 30-year anniversary of Kogut and Singh's (1988) groundbreaking study that introduced the concept of cultural distance and its accompanying measure provides the opportunity to take stock of what makes for a good construct. We organize our discussion around the issues of concept, algorithm, and data to clarify and gauge their contribution, before highlighting the impact of their work more generally. Many of the challenges raised by critical observers focus on one of these three dimensions. A...

摘要:We adopt a Penrosean perspective to study the effect of rapid international expansion on the subsequent divestment of international operations. We draw on regional strategy theory and differentiate Penrosean managerial resources by their geographical fungibility to argue that the effect of rapid international expansion on the divestment of international operations varies with the regional patterns of firms' international expansion and international experience. We test our hypotheses using two-...

摘要:Team personal-life inclusion (Team PLI) refers to socialization with fellow team members in the private domain. While PLI is an expected behavior in the socially oriented Chinese work context, it is generally seen as unfavorable in task-oriented contexts like Germany. We investigate the relative impact of Team PLI on the performance of Chinese and German teams. Based on data from 130 Chinese and 124 German teams, we show that Team PLI has opposing consequences in China and Germany. While it in...

摘要:While extant theory suggests that the pervasiveness of host market government corruption should influence the equity ownership decisions of foreign-investing multinational enterprises (MNEs), empirical research has produced inconclusive results. We leverage insights from transaction cost economics to advance an uncertainty-oriented framework which can be used to explain the impact of host market government corruption on the equity-based entry strategies of MNEs. We disaggregate government corr...

摘要:IB scholars have long studied the multinational enterprise (MNE) and now recognize that its ability to capture value stems from its control of bottleneck assets. In contrast, economic geographers and regional scientists have largely focused their attention on the locations within which economic and business systems operate. In this article, we draw on both these literatures. We emphasize that the MNE's integration of upstream and downstream strategic considerations to maximize its control of b...
