• Avoiding uncertainty in Hofstede and GLOBE AI翻译
  作者：Venaik, Sunil; Brewer, Paul
  作者单位：University of Queensland
  摘要：This paper compares the Uncertainty Avoidance (UA) dimension of national culture across the Hofstede and GLOBE models, looking at relationships in both data and analysis. Rather than mutual support, we detail major differences and anomalies across the studies. We show how these anomalies are resulting in contradictory explanations in research on national differences across a range of individual-, firm-and country-level phenomena. We clarify the UA measurement in both Hofstede and GLOBE, and fi...
• The GLOBE debate: Back to relevance AI翻译
  作者：Hofstede, Geert
  作者单位：Maastricht University
  摘要：This is a critical summary review of the debate about the Global Leadership and Organizational Behavior Effectiveness (GLOBE) study in JIBS and other journals between November 2006 and the present issue. Several contributors did not realize that GLOBE used three essential constructs taken from my publications in a sense entirely different from mine: values, practices, and organizational culture. Not recognizing the ensuing confusion, they had no answer for the question in my 2006 review: what ...
• Improving generalizations from multi-country comparisons in international business research AI翻译

  摘要：In this paper we address the problem of questionable generalizations from comparing small numbers of countries in international business (IB) research. We illustrate the misleading results that can arise from sparse samples, whether the relationship between national-level variables is strong (economic development and corruption) or weak (population density and trust). We show that 35% of recent international comparisons in leading IB journals examined just two or three countries, and present a...
• Performance-based vs socially supportive culture: A cross-national study of descriptive norms and entrepreneurship AI翻译

  摘要：This paper is a cross-national study testing a framework relating cultural descriptive norms to entrepreneurship in a sample of 40 nations. Based on data from the Global Leadership and Organizational Behavior Effectiveness project, we identify two higher-order dimensions of culture - socially supportive culture (SSC) and performance-based culture (PBC) - and relate them to entrepreneurship rates and associated supply-side and demand-side variables available from the Global Entrepreneurship Mon...
• Cultural differences, convergence, and crossvergence as explanations of knowledge transfer in international acquisitions AI翻译
  作者：Sarala, Riikka M.; Vaara, Eero

  摘要：In spite of the proliferation of research on cultural differences in international mergers and acquisitions, we lack systematic analyses of the impact of cultural factors on knowledge transfer. In this paper, we argue that both national and organizational cultural differences and cultural integration in the form of cultural convergence and crossvergence affect knowledge transfer in acquisitions. We develop specific hypotheses concerning the nature of these effects, and test our hypotheses with...
• National culture and dividend policy AI翻译
  作者：Shao, Liang; Kwok, Chuck C. Y.; Guedhami, Omrane
  作者单位：University of South Carolina System; University of South Carolina Columbia
  摘要：This interdisciplinary study examines how national culture affects corporate dividend policies. The dividend puzzle is one of the most studied, yet unresolved, issues in financial economics. Prior theoretical and empirical research has suggested several explanations of the dividend puzzle that are rooted mainly in agency, asymmetric information, bird in hand'', and pecking order theories. The main intuition behind our analysis is that dividend policy may be determined not only by an objective ...

• Do foreign investors exhibit a corporate governance disadvantage? An information asymmetry perspective AI翻译
  作者：Kang, Jun-Koo; Kim, Jin-Mo
  作者单位：Nanyang Technological University; Rutgers University System; Rutgers University New Brunswick
  摘要：Although foreign equity ownership around the world has increased substantially over the last three decades, there is little evidence on the role of foreign ownership in the host country. Using a large sample of foreign partial acquisitions in the US from 1981 to 1999, we examine the determinants of foreign acquirers' governance activities in US targets. We focus on the information asymmetries that foreign acquirers face in the US as a key determinant of their governance activities in US target...
