  摘要：This Perspective brings together the remarks written by the authors (or designates) of 16 new JIBS Decade Awards, given in 2009 to the most influential articles published in the journal for 1970 through 1985. The authors briefly discuss the core insights of their articles and assess the relevance of their work for today's scholars. A short history of the JIBS Decade Award precedes these mini-retrospectives. Journal of International Business Studies (2009) 40, 1581-1590. doi: 10.1057/jibs.2009.67
• Down with MNE-centric theories! Market entry and expansion as the bundling of MNE and local assets AI翻译
  作者：Hennart, Jean-Francois
  作者单位：Tilburg University; Tilburg University
  摘要：Both Anderson and Gatignon and the Uppsala internationalization model see the initial mode of foreign market entry and subsequent modes of operation as unilaterally determined by multinational enterprises (MNEs) arbitraging control and risk and increasing their commitment as they gain experience in the target market. OLI and internalization models do recognize that foreign market entry requires the bundling of MNE and complementary local assets, which they call location or country-specific adv...
• The Uppsala internationalization process model revisited: From liability of foreignness to liability of outsidership AI翻译
  作者：Johanson, Jan; Vahlne, Jan-Erik
  作者单位：Uppsala University; University of Gothenburg
  摘要：The Uppsala internationalization process model is revisited in the light of changes in business practices and theoretical advances that have been made since 1977. Now the business environment is viewed as a web of relationships, a network, rather than as a neoclassical market with many independent suppliers and customers. Outsidership, in relation to the relevant network, more than psychic distance, is the root of uncertainty. The change mechanisms in the revised model are essentially the same...
• The internalisation theory of the multinational enterprise: A review of the progress of a research agenda after 30 years AI翻译
  作者：Buckley, Peter J.; Casson, Mark C.
  作者单位：University of Leeds; University of Reading
  摘要：This paper reviews the progress of the research agenda initiated by The Future of the Multinational Enterprise (1976). Focusing initially on the problem of explaining the existence of the multinational enterprise, the agenda soon broadened to encompass the analysis of alternative modes of foreign market entry, the role of international joint ventures, the impact of innovation on corporate growth, and the role of culture in international business. The core philosophy-based on the Coasian nature...
• Property rights protection, corporate transparency, and growth AI翻译
  作者：Durnev, Art; Errunza, Vihang; Molchanov, Alexander

  摘要：In countries with secure property rights, corporate transparency improves investment efficiency and increases growth by alleviating information asymmetry. However, in countries with insecure property rights, greater transparency can increase the risk of government expropriation. Therefore some firms that would benefit most from transparency cannot take full advantage of it, as they set sub-optimal transparency levels. Using data from 59 industries in 69 countries, we find that in countries wit...
• The end of the opportunism vs trust debate: Bounded reliability as a new envelope concept in research on MNE governance AI翻译
  作者：Verbeke, Alain; Greidanus, Nathan S.
  作者单位：University of Manitoba; University of Calgary
  摘要：Modern transaction cost economics (TCE) thinking has developed into a key intellectual foundation of international business (IB) research, but the Williamsonian version has faced substantial criticism for adopting the behavioral assumption of opportunism. In this paper we assess both the opportunism concept and existing alternatives such as trust within the context of IB research, especially work on multinational enterprise (MNE) governance. Case analyses of nine global MNEs illustrate an alte...
• Towards more realistic conceptualisations of foreign operation modes AI翻译
  作者：Benito, Gabriel R. G.; Petersen, Bent; Welch, Lawrence S.
  作者单位：BI Norwegian Business School; Copenhagen Business School
  摘要：We address a long-standing discrepancy between theory and practice regarding how firms choose, use, and modify their modes of operation in foreign markets. Theory typically treats foreign operation modes as choices between well-specified, discrete alternatives. Observation of business practice reveals a messier'' reality. We commonly observe mode packages, within-mode adjustments and mode role changes, yet by and large these aspects of international business development have been relatively ig...
