  摘要：Guanxi refers to a Chinese system of doing business on the basis of personal relationships, and it is representative of the way that business is done throughout much of the non-western world. In this,paper we first evaluate guanxi from an ethical perspective, and then attempt to shed light on the sources of its economic advantages and disadvantages through the use. of a simple mathematical model, Finally, we point out how eastern and western business practices may already be converging toward ...
• Trade, foreign direct investment, and R&D spillovers AI翻译
  作者：Hejazi, W; Safarian, AE

  摘要：Attempts to measure the spillover effects of multinational enterprises on host countries have generally been cross-sectional and limited to labour productivity in manufacturing for a single country. Recent work in growth theory has measured the extent to which growth in total factor productivity in a country depends not only on domestic R&D capital stocks but also on foreign R&D capital stocks. This paper extends such work by adding foreign direct investment stocks to foreign trade as a channe...
• Leadership behavior and organizational commitment: A comparative study of American and Indian salespersons AI翻译

  摘要：Many studies have examined the impact of leadership behaviors on salespersons' organizational commitment. Unfortunately, little is known about how leadership behaviors impact salespersons' organizational commitment in countries other than United States. The lack of re-search is problematic given that many firms today operate globally. This study fills the gap and presents I a framework for understanding the role of culture on relationships between leadership behaviors and organizational commit...

  摘要：This study reports on the construction and psychometric assessment of a measure of export market orientation. Four multi-item scales were developed showing strong evidence of reliability and convergent, discriminant, and nomological validity in samples of U.K. and Dutch exporters. Further analysis revealed full invariance of the final measure across the two country samples. Several suggestions for applying the measure in substantive research are offered.
• A note on countertrade: Contractual uncertainty and transaction governance in emerging economies AI翻译
  作者：Choi, CJ; Lee, SH; Kim, JB
  作者单位：University of London; Birkbeck University London
  摘要：This paper develops a conceptual framework for analyzing organizational responses to contractual uncertainty in the context of emerging economies. Elaborating on Hennart's (1989) transaction cost rationale for countertrade, we develop a typology of exchange and transaction governance pertinent to the study of emerging economies: Contract, trust and hostage. Notwithstanding the traditional explanation based on foreign ex-change shortage, we argue that the persistence of international countertra...
• Intra-cultural variation: Evidence and implications for international business AI翻译
  作者：Au, KY
  作者单位：Chinese University of Hong Kong
  摘要：This paper discusses the methodological and theoretical significance of intra-cultural variation (ICV)-the population distribution of a characteristic within a culture. A Monte Carlo study shows that ICV has substantial influence on the statistical power of cross-cult ural tests, Therefore, studying ICV is methodologically important if we are to understand inconsistent findings and design cross-cultural studies with enough statistical power. Moreover, an examination of the cultural means and I...
• An empirical examination of the form of the relationship between multinationality and performance AI翻译
  作者：Gomes, L; Ramaswamy, K
  摘要：This paper reports findings from a study that systematically evaluated the form of the relationship between multinationality and performance. In contrast to most of the prior conceptualizations that rely on linear, monotonic models of the linkage, this study examined a curvilinear model that addresses both the costs and benefits associated with multinationality. It used time-series techniques to capture both the static and dynamic components of the relationship. Results show that increasing le...

  摘要：Bur goal is to develop a profile of Chinese managers, and in particular a profile of the New Generation of Chinese managers. The purpose for developing this profile is primarily to provide relevant information for non-Chinese business people, especially Westerners, who plan to engage in business in China. This profile is based on measures of individual values (Individualism, Collectivism and Confucianism) relevant to China and business. Our findings suggest that the New Generation manager is m...
• Technological uncertainty, buyer preferences and supplier assurances: An examination of Pacific Rim purchasing arrangements AI翻译
  作者：Celly, KS; Spekman, RE; Kamauff, JW

  摘要：We use the metaphor of the mutual assurance game to develop the notion that overseas suppliers may proactively manage uncertainty by making customized investments tp serve their buyers. Using this game-theoretic conceptualization as a complement to the transactions cost analysis notion of credible commitments, we argue that such investments serve as assurances of commitment to the international buyer. The hypotheses are tested using data collected in a survey of U.S. purchasing managers regard...
• Learning to compete in a transition economy: Experience, environment, and performance AI翻译
  作者：Luo, YD; Peng, MW
  作者单位：University of Hawaii System; University System of Ohio; Ohio State University
  摘要：Does organizational learning as measured by experience in a host country affect international expansion performance? If so, does such a relationship between experience and performance hold over time? How do the environmental forces, in the host country affect such a relationship? Focusing on organizational learning by multinational enterprises (MNEs) operating in a transition economy, this study answers these three critical questions by exploring the relationships among experience, environment...
