摘要：We argue that a multinational enterprise's (MNE's) location choice for its host-country headquarters (HCHQ) in the geographic space of the host country is determined by the interplay between the strategic roles of HCHQ in the organizational space of the MNE and the institutional space external and internal to the MNE. We focus on the location choice between Beijing and Shanghai. We test our arguments using data for a sample of Fortune Global 500 corporations in China (1979-2005). This study co...

摘要：Various studies have explored how headquarters (HQ)-subsidiary geographic distance affects HQ decisions about subsidiaries, arguing that such distance causes some strategic options to be selected over others to limit ex post communication costs. These studies have implicitly assumed that a multinational's HQ is spatially concentrated, even though multinationals have increasingly disaggregated their HQ internationally. We examine how such HQ disaggregation changes the role that HQ-subsidiary ge...

摘要：Studies examining the competitive implications of geographic scope have largely focused on creating competitive advantage. In an attempt to investigate a less-illuminated role of geographic scope - that of sustaining competitive advantage - this paper investigates the sources of and relationships among the causal factors leading to creation of isolating mechanisms or barriers to imitation. This paper first distinguishes two sources of causal factors linked to the creation of isolating mechanis...

摘要：This paper extends and builds on Ronen and Shenkar's synthesized cultural clustering of countries based on similarity and dissimilarity in work-related attitudes. The new map uses an updated dataset, and expands coverage to world areas that were non-accessible at the time. Cluster boundaries are drawn empirically rather than intuitively, and the plot obtained is triple nested, indicating three levels of similarity across given country pairs. Also delineated are cluster adjacency and cluster co...

摘要：Paternalistic leaders provide care, nurturance, and guidance to employees in their professional and personal lives in a parental manner, and, in exchange, expect loyalty and deference from employees. This study aims at investigating how the paternalistic leadership (PL) prototype converges and diverges with prototypes of transformational, authoritarian, participative, and nurturant-task leadership (NTL) in six countries representing high power distance and collectivism (China, Turkey, and Paki...

摘要：Although biculturals represent a growing demographic, the nascent literature on biculturals has not addressed their cross-cultural leadership capabilities or effectiveness. Attributional patterns and variations across cultures are crucial, and call for higher attributional complexity (AC) and attributional knowledge to reduce cultural distance. This study provides a systematic theoretical connection between biculturals and their higher levels of AC and attributional knowledge, which account fo...
