摘要：Can regulatory interventions alleviate financial crises? If so, which ones work? We draw inferences from the Japanese banking crisis of the 1990s using a hand-gathered database of bank loans gathered from original sources. Our results indicate that whereas risk-based capital infusions in Japan (similar to those following the 2009 Supervisory Capital Assessment Program (stress tests) in the US) were successful in stimulating aggregate lending by Japanese banks, earlier blanket infusions (compar...

摘要：Extending our understanding of the effects of perceived product creativity, this study contributes to the literature by empirically investigating the influence of cultural values on the relationship between the creativity dimensions of novelty and meaningfulness and intention to buy. Schwartz's values framework is employed to theorize cultural differences. The results, based upon 206 Italian and 201 US consumers surveyed via a mall-intercept approach, indicate that novelty is a more important ...

摘要：Foreign investors access local knowledge by co-locating with other foreign direct investment (FDI) firms. However, different aspects of local knowledge can be obtained from different local businesses. Thus some foreign investors co-locate with FDI firms from the same country of origin, while others co-locate with foreign industry peers. We argue that, relative to industry FDI agglomeration, country-of-origin agglomeration provides an effective channel for the sharing of sensitive and tacit kno...

摘要：The offshoring of knowledge services has become a phenomenon of increasing importance for firms, but many of its implications are yet to be discussed thoroughly. This paper analyzes whether R&D offshoring contributes to enhancing firms' innovation capabilities. Specifically, the study distinguishes between two governance models of offshoring - captive offshoring and offshore outsourcing - and two types of innovation outcomes - product and process innovations. We suggest that R&D offshoring has...

摘要：As shown in the international business literature, the ability of controlling owners to extract private benefits is greater in countries with weaker legal institutions. In these countries, providing credible financial information could play an especially important role in reducing information asymmetry between private firms and external providers of finance. For our sample of firms across 68 countries, we find that firms with greater financial reporting credibility (i.e., annual financial stat...

摘要：We investigate the role of firms' country of origin in financial leverage decisions. Foreign joint ventures in China face a common set of country-level formal institutional constraints, but vary in the cultural values they bring from their countries of origin. We hypothesize that national culture enters the joint optimization process, leading to foreign joint ventures' leverage decisions, and that it affects leverage decisions both directly and indirectly. Employing a hierarchical linear model...

摘要：The absence of systematic assessment of IB's performance as a reference discipline prolongs questioning of the contribution that IB scholarship makes to other business fields: put simply, do IB journals export more ideas to allied disciplines than they import from them? Difficulty in evaluating the merits of, let alone the need for, solutions offered to boost interdisciplinary relevance slows validation of the ontological principles and epistemic standards of IB research. This paper begins to ...

摘要：Building on the organizational capabilities literature and theories of the multinational enterprise, this paper develops and tests a framework that examines the relationship between intellectual capital configurations and organizational capabilities in human resource (HR) subunits. Looking at 187 subunits from 20 MNEs, findings show that intellectual capital dimensions vary in their usefulness for generating, sharing, and implementing HR management practices. In particular, while certain resou...

摘要：The world's poor may be the last great frontier in international business. International microlenders are increasingly tapping into this emerging opportunity by extending small business loans to millions of borrowers. However, to date, there is very limited understanding of this domain from an international business perspective. Using qualitative case studies developed in Guatemala and the Dominican Republic we probe the causes and consequences of high performance and business failure for micr...

摘要：Phenomenography is proposed here as a qualitative methodology for investigating how owner-managers practise internationalisation in small firms, and it is applied in an empirical study of internationalising owner-managed small Australian wineries. The findings show a common internationalisation activity cycle but four qualitatively different ways in which these owner-managers practise internationalisation. We reveal that this variation in owner-manager internationalisation practices is determi...
