摘要：Building on general systems theory, we argue that the multi-system nature of the international joint venture (IJV) drives two distinct but inter-related sets of human resource (HR) issues: a set whose core is mainly within the venture subsystem (within-IJV HR set), producing a detrimental impact on venture performance; and a set associated mainly with the relational tension along the interface between the parent and the venture subsystem (relational/interface HR set). The relational set is det...

摘要：This paper uses a comparative institutionalist approach combined with a power/interests perspective to examine the processes whereby diversity policy is 'internationalised' by US multinational companies. It argues that the process of policy transfer to UK subsidiaries is complicated by incomplete and contested 'institutionalisation' of diversity within the US itself, and by differing conceptions of diversity between the US and the UK. The ability of actors within the UK subsidiaries to mobilis...

摘要：There has been significant interest in understanding how the distribution of parental control over international joint ventures (IJV) influences IJV outcomes ( e. g., parent conflict, survival, performance). Yet, the accumulation of research on the relationship between control structure and IJV outcomes has been somewhat inconclusive and even contradictory. We contribute to this research stream by developing an organizational justice-based contingency model relating parental control structure ...

摘要：This paper examines the risk of US direct foreign investments over the period 1982-98 in 59 host countries. The first part of the analysis builds an empirical model to explain the time-series and cross-country patterns of return on capital. The estimation then uses the return on assets (ROA) as a measure of the return on capital, and investigates its determinants. There are four main findings. First, the ROA in a majority of countries does not simply track the worldwide ROA. Second, some cross...

摘要：Recent research has addressed the heterogeneity among MNEs in terms of their tendency to agglomerate. In this paper, we extend the scope of the firm-specific attributes considered to affect this agglomeration tendency by examining product differentiation. We find significant association between product differentiation and the preferences of firms for proximity to other firms in their industry. These findings imply that the value of agglomeration varies for firms pursuing different product diff...

摘要：This study examines the impact of Anglo-American financial markets on CEO compensation. Starting from a sample of Norwegian and Swedish listed firms, we analyse this effect as manifested in the capital market (Anglo-American cross-listing) and in the market for corporate control (Anglo-American board membership). These effects are analysed together with the geographically broader effect of the product and service market internationalisation of the firm. We conclude that all three effects contr...

摘要：This study examines how transactional characteristics and the institutional environment influence contractual governance for international joint ventures (IJVs). Unlike previous studies that view joint venture contractual governance as a unidimensional construct ( clause specificity), thus causing a debate upon whether IJV contracts should be more specific, contractual governance herein is defined as a three-dimensional construct that includes the extent to which contractual terms are clearly ...
