  摘要：With increasing public attention to corporate sustainability, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) controversies emerging in global supply chains present a growing problem for multinational enterprises (MNEs). This paper investigates whether MNEs with geographically dispersed suppliers are more likely to be exposed to supplier-related ESG controversies. It also explores structural characteristics of global supply chains that can mitigate MNEs' exposure to such controversies. Building on...

  摘要：We investigate how U.S. firms adapt their supply chains in China in response to geopolitical risks from the U.S.-China rivalry. We offer a legitimacy-efficiency balancing perspective to understand firm decisions. We hypothesize that to maintain legitimacy with the home government, U.S. firms in strategic industries are more likely than those in non-strategic industries to align with the U.S. government's derisking strategy by limiting suppliers in China. However, we expect this tendency to wea...

  摘要：Africa's startup ecosystem is growing rapidly, yet venture capital (VC) funding remains disproportionately allocated to non-African founders. This study investigates the factors driving this disparity, focusing on institutional voids - gaps in legal frameworks, financial infrastructure, and market-supporting institutions - and investors' perceptions of risk and financial discrimination. We conducted 37 interviews with investors and entrepreneurs to identify the determinants of VC funding, incl...

  摘要：Despite increasing interest, research within the context of Africa, particularly in relation to its unique historical dynamics, remains relatively underexplored in international business (IB). Our paper explores how colonial-era historical legacies continue to shape the outcomes of present-day private participation infrastructure (PPI) projects in Africa. By analyzing 301 PPI projects across 102 ethnic groups in 32 African countries, we offer insights into how borders misaligned with pre-colon...

  摘要：This essay revisits my 2014 JIBS article about the potential for integrating international business internalization theory with a strategic management capabilities perspective. It recaps the capabilities framework with an emphasis on the learning required of emerging market multinationals and illustrates this with the case of Hyundai Motor Company's internationalization and growth. It also discusses two aspects of the global economy that have become more prominent since 2014 in shaping interna...

  摘要：Through extending the psychological approach to threats, we advance a threat-contingency model to understand how two domains of host-country threats-symbolic and realistic-drive multinational enterprises (MNEs) to deploy parent-country nationals to manage their foreign subsidiaries. When faced with symbolic threats related to ethics and morals in a host country, MNEs act rigidly and conservatively, increasing the likelihood of deploying parent-country nationals as executives in foreign subsidi...

  摘要：Dictionary-based methods are widely used to assess the information content of corporate disclosures, yet they are primarily developed within the U.S. context. This study applies a popular U.S.-based dictionary approach to analyze the disclosure sentiment of 200,960 earnings call transcripts across 85 countries. While disclosure sentiment is positively associated with short-window stock returns globally, the relationship is approximately 30% weaker for non-U.S. firms. Drawing on cultural accoun...

  摘要：Teece (J Int Bus Stud 45(1):8-37, 2014) identifies two theories of the emergence of multinational enterprises (MNEs)-one that focuses on how MNEs solve transactional difficulties that can emerge in market exchanges and another that focuses on how MNEs facilitate economic value creation that is difficult to realize through market exchanges-and suggests that both theories are important in understanding MNE emergence. However, the organizational and managerial implications of these two theories a...
