• Effect of exporter's incentives on foreign distributor's role performance AI翻译

  摘要：A foreign distributor's motivation to perform local marketing tasks for an exporter is often poor due to agency conflicts and transaction cost constraints characterizing the export channel. While exporters may engage in actions such as offering incentives and overseeing partner activities to improve foreign marketing, such intrusions into partner operations often fail to enhance the distributor's role performance. Drawing on motivation theory, the authors develop a model explaining the efficie...
• Political bargaining and multinational bank bailouts AI翻译
  作者：King, Michael R.

  摘要：This article examines the role of political bargaining and state institutions in explaining variation in state support to multinational banks (MNBs). International business theory predicts that multinational enterprises will engage in political activities to gain a competitive advantage over rivals. I hypothesize that MNBs with greater bargaining power and favorable institutions received state capital injections on more attractive terms than foreign rivals. I test this hypothesis by studying t...
• Consumer ethnocentrism: Reconceptualization and cross-cultural validation AI翻译
  作者：Sharma, Piyush

  摘要：Consumer ethnocentrism (CE) is a popular construct in international marketing research and is generally measured using the CETSCALE, a reliable scale with proven predictive validity but with limited evidence about its construct validity, dimensionality and cross-cultural measurement invariance. This note addresses these gaps by reconceptualizing CE as an attitude construct consisting of three dimensions: (1) affective reaction, (2) cognitive bias and (3) behavioral preference. A revised CE sca...
• Barriers to knowledge seeking within MNC teams: Which differences matter most? AI翻译
  作者：Haas, Martine R.; Cummings, Jonathon N.
  作者单位：University of Pennsylvania; Duke University
  摘要：Do international or non-international differences between members matter most for multinational corporation (MNC) teams? We consider two types of international differences, arising from geographic locations and national origins, and two types of non-international differences, arising from structural affiliations and demographic attributes. Examining the barriers to knowledge seeking between MNC team members, we argue that whether international or non-international differences create greater ba...
• Labor market regulations and cross-border mergers and acquisitions AI翻译
  作者：Alimov, Azizjon

  摘要：This article exploits changes in country-level employment protection regulations as a source of plausibly exogenous variation in labor laws and finds that these regulations play an important role in cross-border merger activity. Over the 1991-2009 period, countries that tighten employment regulations attract more foreign acquirers, especially those from countries with relatively more flexible labor regulations. The results appear to be robust to alternative specifications. Importantly these pa...
• Perceived senior leadership opportunities in MNCs: The effect of social hierarchy and capital AI翻译

  摘要：Drawing on the structural perspective in organizational theory, this study develops a conceptual framework of the social hierarchy within the multinational corporation (MNC). We suggest that parent country nationals (PCNs), host country nationals (HCNs), and third country nationals (TCNs) occupy distinctively different positions in the social hierarchy, which are anchored in their differential control or access to various forms of capital or strategically valuable organizational resources. We ...
• Does stronger patent protection increase export variety? Evidence from US product-level data AI翻译
  作者：Ivus, Olena
  作者单位：Queens University - Canada
  摘要：Proponents of global intellectual property rights (IPRs) reforms have argued that developing countries' weak IPRs limit their access to foreign innovative products and technologies. Central to our understanding of the effects of IPRs on product access is the influence of national differences in patent protection on corporate behavior and business strategy of multinational firms. Using detailed product data on US exports from 1990 to 2000, this research note assesses the impact of strengthening...
• Values, schemas, and norms in the culture- behavior nexus: A situated dynamics framework AI翻译
  作者：Leung, Kwok; Morris, Michael W.
  作者单位：Chinese University of Hong Kong; Columbia University
  摘要：International business (IB) research has predominantly relied on value constructs to account for the influence of societal culture, notably Hofstede's cultural dimensions. While parsimonious, the value approach's assumptions about the consensus of values within nations, and the generality and stability of cultural patterns of behavior are increasingly challenged. We review two promising alternatives the constructivist approach centering on schemas and the intersubjectivist approach centering o...
• When do international human capital enhancing practices benefit the bottom line? An ability, motivation, and opportunity perspective AI翻译
  作者：Kim, Kyoung Yong; Pathak, Seemantini; Werner, Steve
  作者单位：University of Houston System; University of Houston; University of Missouri System; University of Missouri Saint Louis
  摘要：We study the conditions under which firms can capitalize on their international human capital (IHC). Using the ability-motivation-opportunity (AMO) perspective we conceptualize IHC as ability, collaborative climate as motivation, and the firm's level of internationalization as opportunity. We test three alternative AMO models - the additive model (main effect), the combinative model (two-way interactions), and the multiplicative model (a three-way interaction). Using a cross-industry sample of...
• Dual values-based organizational identification in MNC subsidiaries: A multilevel study AI翻译

  作者单位：University of Vaasa; Aalto University; Aalto University; Hanken School of Economics
  摘要：Dual organizational identification - with both the whole corporation and the local subsidiary - is considered valuable for subsidiary employees, international assignees, and multinational corporations (MNCs). While extant research has examined antecedents of separate targets of identification, it has not fully addressed the challenge of identifying factors capable of supporting both simultaneously. This study examines the influence of individual- and organizational-level factors on the dual va...
