• Global value chain governance: A relational perspective AI翻译
  作者：Kano, Liena

  摘要：Global value chain (GVC) governance is an established field within international business research, yet the relational aspects of GVCs have, to date, garnered less scholarly attention than have efficiency considerations. This conceptual study's objective is to explore the relational dynamics of GVC governance using an internalization theory perspective, and by linking GVC research with insights from the business network literature. GVCs are argued to be a distinct form of asymmetrical networks...
• Diplomatic and corporate networks: Bridges to foreign locations AI翻译

  摘要：Firms and governments operate in broad networks in which the home government and its diplomatic service are a critical node - or a referral point'' - between firms and potential partners in foreign locations. Thus diplomatic relations between countries matter for the choice of foreign investment location. Using a network perspective, we argue that the extent to which good diplomatic relations induce firms to invest in friendly host countries depends on their political connections to home gover...

  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：Recent research suggests that subnational regions can explain the variation in foreign subsidiary performance. However, most studies either treat subnational regions as a whole or focus on formal institutions at the subnational level. This study examines how general social trust, an important dimension of informal institutions at the subnational level, affects foreign subsidiary performance. In a sample of 17,886 foreign investments in China in 2012, we find that the level of social trust in s...
• Alliances in international governmental organizations, regional trade agreement formation, and multinational enterprise regionalization strategy AI翻译

  摘要：Drawing from political science alliance theories, we explain why countries are likely to enter regional trade agreements. We argue that the probability that this will happen is higher if the countries are allies in the same international governmental organizations (IGOs), as such alliances can help build trust and reduce political risk. Our results show that IGO scope and also partner reliability and influence in the IGO network play important roles. Our findings provide guidance to multinatio...
• Internationalization through exaptation: The role of domestic geographical dispersion in the internationalization process AI翻译
  作者：Santangelo, Grazia D.; Stucchi, Tamara
  作者单位：University of Catania
  摘要：We introduce the notion of exaptation to internationalization theory, a process in which a capability is re-used for a purpose and in a context different than its historical purpose and context. Specifically, we examine which domestic capabilities may be redeployed when organizations engage in cross-border M&As for the first time. We suggest that organizations exapt (re-use) coordination and control capabilities, initially developed to manage domestic geographical dispersion, to acquire and in...
• Global connectedness and local innovation in industrial clusters AI翻译

  摘要：In today's knowledge economy, clusters are a key driver of a country's competitiveness. Yet a cluster's technological base is now more than ever influenced by constituent firms' actions to tap into distant knowledge sources. Drawing on a social network perspective, and distinguishing between horizontal versus vertical organization-based linkages, we explore the effects of a cluster's connectedness to foreign locations on its innovation performance. We show that improvements in horizontal and v...
