摘要:This study extends research on parent-subsidiary links, applying new theoretical perspectives - those of resource dependence and dynamic capability - to the new empirical setting of an emerging market. We suggest that parent-subsidiary links help to mitigate emerging market threats by reducing external dependence, and help to capitalize on emerging market opportunities by enhancing local responsiveness. We identify four dimensions (resource commitment, information flow, local responsiveness an...

摘要:We extend the stages model of internationalization to incorporate a sophisticated consideration of temporal and cross-national variation in the uncertainty of the policy environment. Using a sample of 6465 international expansions of 665 Japanese manufacturing firms in 49 countries, we develop arguments from internationalization and bargaining power perspectives to show how Japanese firms manage policy uncertainty in host country environments through the within-country sequencing of investment...

In addition, several groups of countries were identified as culturally similar, whereas Brazil a...

We tested our hypotheses with a survey of 180 firms fr...

摘要:This study tests the explanatory power of three theoretical frameworks for the performance of cross-border affiliates, by examining the experience of 615 Hong Kong firms managing operations in mainland China. The frameworks tested are: the natural selection approach, focused on the influence of the environment; the strategic choice approach, focused on managerial action; and the contingency approach, which emphasises the 'fit' between environmental contingencies and internal organisation. The ...
