摘要：Despite the increasing recognition of digital globalization in international business (IB) literature, there is a more pressing need for a comprehensive understanding of the unprecedented power generated by big-tech multinational enterprises (MNEs). This paper suggests that harnessing data ubiquity globally, instantaneously, and continuously represents a defining feature and a revolutionary power source for big-tech MNEs. By leveraging global data value chains through a mutually reinforcing da...

摘要：Global value chains (GVCs) generate efficiency through production fragmentation but simultaneously create sustainability vulnerabilities that can undermine GVC resilience. While MNE buyer-led private ordering and state regulation represent the primary governance responses to these risks, their effects on supplier compliance remain contested. We develop a domain-sensitive governance framework showing that labor and environmental compliance differ systematically in their cost-benefit structures,...

摘要：Social media has become a strategic tool for firms worldwide to drive customer engagement (CE) and enhance business performance, yet limited research has systematically examined how social media content strategies (SMCSs) perform across cultural contexts. To address this gap, we conceptualize SMCS along three key dimensions-content characteristics, content source, and content valence-and develop a meta-analytic model grounded in signaling theory. Drawing on 148 empirical studies comprising 869...

摘要：A firm cannot internationalize on its own. Rather, a network of multiple firms is critical. Accordingly, the Uppsala model has been reformulated in recent years to account for the role of networks in the firm internationalization process. Still unclear, however, is how a firm's network position evolves-both within individual foreign market entries and across successive entries-under changing firm, industry, and macro conditions. This study utilizes the historical case method to address this ga...

摘要：Stephan, Uhlaner, and Stride's (J Int Bus Stud 46:308-331, 2015) Decade Award-winning paper highlights how formal and informal institutional antecedents shape the emergence of social entrepreneurship across borders, while their 2026 retrospective extended attention to the enduring impact of social ventures. The Reuber and Fischer (J Int Bus Stud, 2026) commentary extended the conversation to emphasize the organizational impact of social ventures. Yet, while the retrospective and Reuber and Fis...

摘要：Climate change poses significant global challenges to multinational enterprises (MNEs). One crucial solution hinges on the development of new technologies to mitigate climate change or adapt to its adverse effects. However, it remains unclear what factors can effectively motivate MNEs' development of climate innovation. Integrating the resource dependence theory and the natural resource-based view, we argue that MNEs' strategies are shaped by their dependence on the global ecological environme...

摘要：Rising geopolitical tensions and concomitant sanctions significantly affect multinational enterprises' (MNEs), yet the theory of MNEs' strategic responses remains underdeveloped. Through a qualitative study using the Russia-Ukraine conflict as a natural experiment, we investigate how and why MNEs respond strategically to these complex conditions. MNEs recognize that these stigmatize the MNE subsidiary's host country. Continued association with a stigmatized location leads to cross-border stigm...

摘要：Born-digital firms increasingly pursue virtual involvement, a digital market-entry strategy that prioritizes iterative data collection and algorithmic adaptation over physical expansion. We measure virtual involvement by the number of unique digital advertisements and define it as the intensity of a firm's digital experimentation to collect user data, train algorithms, and enable continuous learning through a recursive feedback loop. Using a novel panel dataset covering 194 US and Chinese born...

摘要：How does import penetration from a foreign economy affect financial analysts' forecast accuracy, and do cultural ties to that economy provide an informational advantage? We examine these questions using 504,491 analyst earnings forecasts for U.S. manufacturing firms from 2001 to 2024, leveraging exogenous variation in Chinese import penetration driven by productivity growth in China and its WTO accession. We find that rising Chinese import penetration significantly impairs forecast accuracy: a...
