摘要：The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are changing the way multinational enterprises (MNEs) engage with host governments. The SDGs offer MNEs a unique opportunity to build political influence by assisting governments in attaining a host country's social needs. However, international business scholars have largely remained silent on how MNEs strategize to repurpose 'doing good' into political influence. Based on a multiple case study of four Western European MNE subsidiaries i...

摘要：While multinational enterprises (MNEs) are widely recognized for providing employment to a significant number of women around the globe, empirical evidence suggests that existing gender inequalities may be aggravated rather than alleviated in their subsidiaries. We build on gender theory to better understand how gender is construed and enacted differently in MNE subsidiaries compared to domestic firms, particularly with regard to the differential effects of parenthood on wage gaps for male ver...

摘要：We theorize on how institutional distance and interorganizational relationship (IOR) governance interact to produce corporate social irresponsibility (CSiR) in offshore outsourcing. Managers generally find it challenging to align practices with stakeholders' responsibility expectations and more so when activities occur offshore and outside organizational boundaries. This is evident from Apple's repeated problems in China but insufficiently understood in international business (IB) literature. ...

摘要：The influences of a home country's economic and political institutions on acquirers' cross-border acquisitions (CBAs) ownership strategies remains unexplored. Acquirers face endogenous uncertainty (i.e., uncertainty that can be resolved in part by acquirers) when transferring headquarters resources to foreign target firms and exogenous uncertainty (i.e., uncertainty that cannot be resolved by acquirers) when there is an unpredictable policy change. We argue that well-developed economic and pol...

摘要：In addition to cultural and demographic diversity, temporal diversity is increasingly recognized as a crucial factor affecting the dynamics and performance of global virtual teams (GVTs). However, research on temporal diversity tends to analyze the effects of only one source of timing differences at a time: either only time-zone differences or only chronotype differences among the team members. Such a single-focus approach is limiting, and could lead to biased conclusions. We provide a concept...

摘要：International business scholars have recognized the impact of political and economic nationalism on the multinational enterprise (MNE). We complement these approaches by highlighting the sociological manifestations of nationalism and their implications for the MNE. We argue that nationalist sentiments, i.e., widely shared assumptions of superiority over other nations and cultures, constitute an under-researched but critical element in international business (IB). Drawing insights from organiza...

摘要：Multinational corporations and their global suppliers are increasingly expected to employ sustainability practices throughout their supply chains. As such, the global scope of corporate sustainability - including the notion of 'full-chain responsibility' - is a concern for firms, governments, NGOs, and other stakeholders. We evaluate the state-of-the-art of sustainability research on multinational firms and global supply chains, bringing together insights from two literatures that have examine...

摘要：Globalization is motivating many emerging market firms (EMFs) to expand operations through outward foreign direct investment (OFDI). General FDI theories, such as internalization theory and the OLI paradigm, are based on industrialized countries, leading to inevitable gaps in explaining the OFDI activities of EMFs. We extend the literature by establishing a connection between international finance and the internationalization of EMFs. We argue that foreign banks operating in emerging markets o...
