摘要：This paper contributes to the discussion on international diversification and corporate social responsibility ( CSR) by suggesting that firms can be simultaneously socially responsible and socially irresponsible. To test our assertions, we analyze data from 222 publicly traded US firms from 1993 to 2003. The findings support our hypotheses, and have significant implications for the way in which we conceptualize CSR.

摘要：Organizational change in emerging economies, although difficult, is inevitable. The authors study the drivers and consequences of organizational changes in an emerging economy, China. The results of a firm-level survey show that organizational changes in technical vs administrative areas are differentially driven by firms' motivation to change (past performance), opportunity to change (firm location and market orientation), and capability to change (firm ownership, managers' change attitude, a...

摘要：Madhok's 1995 article defined and developed a trust-based perspective on the stability of international joint ventures (IJVs). Proposing a shift in focus from ownership to relationship, and from governance form to process, the article emphasised the role of trust in holding IJVs together and the importance of considering the dynamics of inter-organisational collaboration. By distinguishing between structural and social components of trust, it contributed to a more nuanced understanding of what...

摘要：Many international business failures have been ascribed to a lack of cross-cultural competence (CC) on the part of business practitioners. However, the international business literature appears to lack an adequate conceptualization and definition of the term 'CC', focusing instead on the knowledge, skills and attributes that appear to be its antecedents. In this conceptual study, we propose a definition of CC as it applies to international business and develop a model for understanding how CC ...

摘要：Colleagues have characterized my place in the early days of international business (IB) studies and my later contributions as 'in limbo', 'at the interfaces', 'a synthesis', 'focusing on linkages' and 'iconoclastic'. The 'limbo' placed me outside the usual functional disciplines in business schools, which in the 1950s seldom included 'international business'. The 'interfaces' and 'linkages' of IB were focused on the interdependence of politics, government and business; the 'synthesis' was an e...

摘要：Although businesses increasingly operate across cultures, there is a paucity of research that examines the influence of national culture on leadership practices. This study uses a structural equation modeling approach to investigate relationships among leader-member exchange (LMX), delegation, paternalism, and job satisfaction in Turkish business organizations. Results from a survey study of N = 185 full-time employees from Turkish companies support the relationship of LMX to delegation and jo...

摘要：This paper develops a framework for analyzing the multinational corporation (MNC) as a multilingual community in which parent functional language and subunit functional languages are concurrently used and recursively linked through an intra-corporate communication network. The unit, breadth and intensity of an MNC's language system are designed to apply global strategies within the context of evolving environmental and organizational realities. To the extent that language design is the product...

摘要：This paper examines the impact of market liberalization on firm performance through institutional changes during the economic reform in China. The conceptualization focuses on the decentralization of control, ownership restructuring, and industrial policy as the primary institutional changes to implement market liberalization in China. These institutional changes affect firm performance by shaping managerial incentives, affecting transaction and agency costs, and making selective resource allo...
