  摘要：In this study, I take a transaction cost approach to explore the coincidence of private branding with offshore outsourcing - two retail trends that have attracted substantial attention but have never been analyzed concurrently. Retailers now play an increased role in marketing a product to shoppers, although their marketing efforts are usually specific to the supplier who brands the product. This is called brand specificity, a special case of asset specificity that drives up the cost of conduc...
• Developing successful trust-based international exchange relationships AI翻译

  摘要：Trust is a central construct in relationship marketing. Yet the literature provides mixed empirical evidence on the trust-performance linkage. Also, there is limited research on how to build trusting international buyer-seller relations. We develop a comprehensive model integrating performance-enhancing mechanisms and antecedent processes of trust in import-export relationships. Our survey results from importers trading with overseas manufacturers suggest that existing levels of trust have a p...
• Towards more realistic conceptualisations of foreign operation modes AI翻译

  摘要：We address a long-standing discrepancy between theory and practice regarding how firms choose, use, and modify their modes of operation in foreign markets. Theory typically treats foreign operation modes as choices between well-specified, discrete alternatives. Observation of business practice reveals a messier'' reality. We commonly observe mode packages, within-mode adjustments and mode role changes, yet by and large these aspects of international business development have been relatively ig...
• The antecedents and consequences of successful localization AI翻译

  摘要：Localization in the corporate setting is the extent to which expatriate managers are replaced by local employees originally held by expatriate managers. We sampled 229 multinational enterprises (MNEs) in the People's Republic of China and investigated the antecedents of localization success based on resource dependency theory. We developed a 40-item scale to measure human resource (HR) practices determined to contribute to successful localization. We also identified parent company support and ...
• Do local manufacturing firms benefit from transactional linkages with multinational enterprises in China? AI翻译

  摘要：This paper examines the linkage effects of foreign direct investment (FDI) on firm-level productivity in Chinese manufacturing. It is found that FDI generates positive vertical linkage effects in Chinese manufacturing at both the national and regional levels, and limited positive horizontal spillovers at the regional level. While OECD firms gain from both vertical and (probably) horizontal linkages, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwanese firms benefit only from backward linkage effects. In the domesti...
• Managing the learning and transfer of global management competence: Antecedents and outcomes of Japanese repatriation effectiveness AI翻译

  摘要：This study examines predictors that lead to effective individual learning of global management competencies on expatriate assignments and the transfer (i.e., the application of those competencies) in new assignments upon repatriation. A structural equation model based on data from 305 Japanese repatriates identifies linkages from organizational support, intercultural personality characteristics, self-adjustment, and repatriation policies to outcomes of global competency learning and transfer, ...
• Client-perceived performance and value in professional B2B services: An international perspective AI翻译
  作者：La, Vinh; Patterson, Paul; Styles, Chris
  作者单位：University of New South Wales Sydney; University of Sydney
  摘要：Drawing from the resource-based view and a contingency approach, the authors develop and test a model of the antecedents of client-perceived value in the context of international, professional business-to-business services (consultants, engineers, project management, IT consultants, etc.) in a developing economies setting. Further, we examine the effects of key moderators (e.g., country-of-origin (COO), firm's international experience, client's buying experience) on client-perceived performanc...
• International joint venture partner selection: The role of the host-country legal environment AI翻译
  作者：Roy, Jean-Paul; Oliver, Christine
  作者单位：Queens University - Canada; York University - Canada
  摘要：This study attempts to enhance our understanding of how a host country's legal environment influences international joint venture (IJV) partner selection criteria. Empirical results based on survey data collected on 169 IJVs revealed that host-country rule of law perceptions negatively influence appropriation and coordination cost concerns, which positively influence partner-related criteria. Furthermore, these concerns mediate the relationship between perceptions of host-country rule of law a...
• R&D, internationalization and growth of newly listed firms: European evidence AI翻译

  摘要：The initial public offering (IPO) is an important stage in the life cycle of privately held and entrepreneurial firms. For innovative firms eager to capitalize on their technological advances, an IPO represents a springboard for a rapid international expansion of sales. However, there is little research on the longer-term, post-IPO strategic evolution of newly listed companies, including their internationalization. We build on international entrepreneurship and dynamic capabilities perspective...
• Commitment across cultures: A meta-analytical approach AI翻译
  作者：Fischer, Ronald; Mansell, Angela
  作者单位：Victoria University Wellington
  摘要：The present study reports two sets of meta-analyses of employee commitment across cultures. First, using three-level hierarchical linear modeling, differences in mean levels of commitment were investigated. We examined the effects of individualism-collectivism and power distance values and practices (Hofstede, GLOBE) while controlling for study and industry effects. The findings showed that affective commitment (across 48 countries), continuance commitment (31 countries) and normative commitme...
