  摘要：Cross national distance is a key concept in the field of management Previous research has conceptualized and measured cross national differences mostly in terms of dyadic cultural distance, and has used the Euclidean approach to measuring it In contrast, our goal is to disaggregate the construct of distance by proposing a set of multidimensional measures, including economic, financial, political, administrative, cultural, demographic, knowledge, and global connectedness as well as geographic d...

  摘要：This study examines the pace with which multinational enterprises undertake sequential entries in a foreign market We focus on learning effects from cumulative entry experience of different modes within a host market Moreover, we investigate the dynamic process of entry mode switch, and how cumulative entry experience reduces the expansion constraint Using a dataset of sequential entries by US firms in China during 1979-2002, we find that the impact of cumulative entry experience on the pace o...

  摘要：Many international business (IB) studies have used foreign direct investment (FDI) stocks to measure the aggregate value adding activity of multinational enterprises (MNE) affiliates in host countries We argue that FDI stocks are a biased measure of that activity, because the degree to which they overestimate or underestimate affiliate activity varies systematically with host-country characteristics First, most FDI into countries that serve as tax havens generate no actual productive activity,...
• Quo vadis? The entry into new technologies in advanced foreign subsidiaries of the multinational enterprise AI翻译
  作者：Blomkvist, Katarina; Kappen, Philip; Zander, Ivo

  摘要：The international business literature has identified the overall emergence of technologically advanced foreign subsidiaries of the multinational enterprise (MNE), but little is known about the extent to which individual subsidiaries are able to sustain their contribution to the technological and strategic renewal of the multinational group This paper takes on this neglected question by empirically investigating longitudinal patterns in advanced foreign subsidiaries' entry into technologies tha...

  摘要：The international business (IB) literature has widely recognized political forces as major factors that complicate the strategic decisions of multinational enterprises (MNEs) Analyses by financial intermediaries can help to reduce the risk of information asymmetry caused by such factors Using firm-level data from 17 jurisdictions between 1997 and 2001, this study investigates the association between a firm's high level political connections and earnings forecasts made by financial analysts, an...
• Flexibility versus commitment: MNEs' ownership strategy in China AI翻译
  作者：Li, Jing; Li, Yong
  作者单位：Simon Fraser University; State University of New York (SUNY) System; University at Buffalo, SUNY
  摘要：We investigate the following important questions in international business How do multinational enterprises (MNEs) choose ownership strategies when facing strong uncertainty in foreign market entries? How are the choices affected by industry contingencies? Following the key tenets of real options theory, we propose that, under a high level of market uncertainty, MNEs choose more flexible (rather than more committed) ownership strategies that allow adjustment of investment decisions in future W...

  作者：Ellis, Paul D.
  作者单位：Hong Kong Polytechnic University
  摘要：Journal editors and academy presidents are increasingly calling on researchers to evaluate the substantive, as opposed to the statistical, significance of their results To measure the extent to which these calls have been heeded, I aggregated the meta-analytically derived effect size estimates obtained from 965 individual samples I then surveyed 204 studies published in the Journal of International Business Studies I found that the average effect size in International business research is smal...
