摘要:Grand Challenges are complex problems that transcend national borders and affect future generations and, as a result, have traditionally been viewed as the responsibility of governments. Building on economic theories of market imperfections, we introduce a three-pronged framework to explain how multinationals contribute solutions to Grand Challenges. First, we clarify multinationals' solutions by classifying them by their sustainability dimensions and associated market imperfections: solutions...

摘要:Even as data privacy regulations expand globally, their strategic implications for international business remain underexplored. Prior research mostly treats data privacy regulation as a compliance issue, overlooking how firms strategically manage cross-border variations and respond to stakeholder pressures. Drawing on institutional economics and stakeholder theory, this article conceptualizes two trade-offs generated by data privacy regulations: (1) a regulatory, cost-benefit trade-off between...

摘要:Gender wage discrimination is a grand challenge that constrains economic growth worldwide and denies women fair opportunities. Yet, we know surprisingly little about how women's own experiences of wage discrimination steer their career decisions. We adopt the perspective of job-seeking women and argue that prior exposure to wage discrimination reshapes their employer preferences. Specifically, it can flip the liability of foreignness typically faced by foreign MNCs into a perceived employer ad...

摘要:Research suggests that firms participating in stock market liberalization programs are exposed to global investors who can exert cross-border influence on management decisions. Accordingly, as global investors increasingly adopt environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles, firms in these programs may enhance their corporate responsibility and their commitment to addressing grand challenges. We challenge this literature by explaining why this effect of stock market liberalization pro...

摘要:The internationalization of innovation is critical for multinational enterprises (MNEs), yet foreign subsidiaries often struggle to gain headquarters support for their innovations, while knowledge from subsidiary-country contexts remains underused in headquarters' R&D. This study examines how directors with professional experience in a subsidiary country help boards govern these challenges. Drawing on boundary-spanning theory, we argue that such directors improve headquarters' evaluation of su...

摘要:Organizations-especially multinational corporations (MNCs)-do not always realize comparable performance gains from investing in people across national borders. Prior research has attempted to explain such variation in the effects of high-investment human resource practices (HIHRPs) by emphasizing their fit with national cultural values, yet empirical support for this cultural fit perspective has been limited. To address this gap, we focus on national institutional factors that more directly sh...

摘要:To examine heterogeneity in the internationalization of digital firms, we introduce the concept of digital dampening, which refers to the extent to which non-digital elements are integrated into a digital firm. We argue that digital dampening inhibits internationalization. We develop testable hypotheses about the international multihoming of smartphone apps from China and analyze rich data on 33,878 smartphone apps from 25,233 Chinese vendors on the Tencent app market. Our methodology leverage...

摘要:Stephan, Uhlaner and Stride's (2015) JIBS Decade Award-winning article provides a nuanced understanding of the national contexts that encourage social entrepreneurship. In this commentary, we build on their foundation and discuss the notion of social entrepreneurship further, shifting focus from individual engagement in social entrepreneurship to a consideration of social venture impact. This entails a shift from the individual as the unit of analysis to the social venture. Building on the ten...

摘要:When geopolitical tensions pit home and host audiences against each other, how do multinational enterprises (MNEs) respond? We examine MNEs' organizational identity work directed at external audiences under bilateral geopolitical tensions, where efforts to gain acceptance from one side may provoke backlash from the other. Focusing on MNEs' national identity rhetoric-how firms use language to emphasize or downplay national affiliation-we analyze longitudinal data (2001-2020) from the public com...
