摘要：We examine whether and how impact investment-investing to secure both financial and social returns-is associated with formalization at founding. While impact investing has increasingly been promoted as a tool to support economic development, evidence on its relationship with patterns of formal firm entry in the Global South remains limited. This is important because while informality provides important livelihoods, widespread informal activity constrains growth, limits employment quality, and ...

摘要：Income inequality is a worldwide phenomenon that increasingly concerns scholars, policy-makers, business leaders, and ordinary citizens. Building on research emphasizing the role of firms in shaping societal outcomes, this study investigates how organizational pay structures-specifically the chief executive officer (CEO)-to-employee pay ratios-relate to societal-level income inequality and citizens' subjective well-being. Using a 15-year panel dataset of 53 countries, we find that higher CEO-t...

摘要：The United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals provide a framework for categorizing research that addresses global challenges and advances societal wellbeing. Using multiple large language models, this study analyzed 47,197 articles published in 18 business and management journals, including the Journal of International Business Studies, representing five business and management disciplines over 55 years (1970-2024). The objective was to assess the extent to which scholars, including tho...

摘要：The world is witnessing an increase in interorganizational conflicts across borders, yet their impact on firms' international expansion remains largely underexplored. Building on intergroup contact theory, we theorize that involvement in conflict with a foreign firm constitutes a form of negative intergroup contact, which can spill over into broader unfavorable attitudes-not only toward the specific foreign entity involved but also toward the foreign market more generally. Specifically, we pre...

摘要：While geopolitical conflicts, including trade wars, have garnered substantial scholarly attention in recent years, the impact on the outsider firms not directly involved in such conflicts remains underexplored. Engaging in real-options informed analysis, we examine how MNEs from third countries may respond to trade wars by capitalizing on the potential for competitive opportunities: where trade wars prompt the scaling up of third-country subsidiary operations in the involved countries. We furt...

摘要：Media has emerged as a powerful yet under-theorized force shaping the nonmarket environments of multinationals (MNEs), particularly amid intensifying geopolitical tensions and ideological polarization. Drawing on mass communication theory, we conceptualize media, encompassing both institutional news media and social media platforms, as a distinct nonmarket influencer that actively constructs legitimacy, propagates geopolitical narratives, and accelerates public sentiment across borders. We dev...

摘要：History is not merely prologue to International Business (IB) research-it is a constitutive element of how we understand multinational enterprises, foreign market entry, institutional change, and cross-border value creation. Despite increased recognition of interdisciplinary collaboration, IB scholars remain unclear about how to rigorously integrate historical methods and insights from Business History. In this special issue introduction, we address the impediments to closer interdisciplinary ...

摘要：We seek to reconceptualize internationalization strategy by shifting focus from static, single-entry mode choices to dynamic constellations of multiple involvement modes. In an era of rapid technological change enabled by artificial intelligence, blockchain, and robotics, geopolitical volatility fueled by trade wars and violent conflicts, and increasing sustainability demands, multinational corporations (MNCs) need to rethink how they are involved with diverse stakeholder expectations, priorit...

摘要：Building on Meyer, van Witteloostuijn, and Beugelsdijk's (2017) editorial on best practices for conducting and reporting hypothesis-testing research in IB, we examine the extent to which their guidelines-and related recommendations by Hahn and Ang (2017)-have been adopted in leading IB journals. We analyze all null-hypothesis significance testing-based articles published in the Journal of International Business Studies and the Journal of World Business between 2012 and 2024, using fine-grained...
