• Guanxi vs networking: Distinctive configurations of affect- and cognition-based trust in the networks of Chinese vs American managers AI翻译

  摘要：This research investigates hypotheses about differences between Chinese and American managers in the configuration of trusting relationships within their professional networks. Consistent with hypotheses about Chinese familial collectivism, an egocentric network survey found that affect- and cognition-based trust were more intertwined for Chinese than for American managers. In addition, the effect of economic exchange on affect- based trust was more positive for Chinese than for Americans, whe...
• Ownership structure, strategic controls and export intensity of foreign-invested firms in transition economies AI翻译

  摘要：This paper examines the relationships between foreign ownership, managers' independence in decision-making and exporting of foreign-invested firms in five European Union accession countries. Using a unique, hand-collected data set of 434 foreign-invested firms in Poland, Hungary, Slovenia, Slovakia and Estonia, we show that foreign investors' ownership and control over strategic decisions are positively associated with export intensity, measured as the proportion of exports to total sales. The...
• The regional nature of Japanese multinational business AI翻译

  摘要：In the world's largest 500 firms, there are 64 Japanese multinational enterprises (MNEs) with data on regional sales, but only three operate globally; whereas 57 of them average over 80% of their sales and foreign assets in their home region. Why is there such a strong intra-regional dimension to their activities? Using empirical data and a new framework for analysing both downstream (sales) assets and upstream (production) assets we analyse why most large Japanese firms appear to have firm-sp...
• A relational model of export performance AI翻译

  摘要：Export performance models anchored in the industrial organization and resource-based theories have previously been developed and tested. Thus far there have been no empirically tested export performance models that have reflected the core tenets of the relational, or behavioral, paradigm. Drawing from relational exchange theory, a model that includes reciprocal perceptions that relate to both past and future exchanges is developed. This model is tested with dyadic data from 125 West-East (Aust...
• Insider trading and the valuation of international strategic alliances in emerging stock markets AI翻译

  摘要：Because stock markets in emerging economies are relatively new, under-regulated, and often segmented, investors' responses to public announcements firms in these economies may differ from responses in developed economies' stock markets. We draw on the institutional and corporate governance literatures to explain investor reactions to announcements of international strategic alliances (ISAs) between foreign and emerging-market firms. We argue that emerging economies' stock markets positively va...
• Entry and exit decisions in flexible teams AI翻译
  作者：Christensen, Michael; Knudsen, Thorbjorn

  摘要：The present study identifies a major limitation of current research on multinational enterprises (MNEs). Joint decision-making in a distributed setting is of critical importance in practice, but has received little attention in our theories. To address this gap in knowledge, we examine the effects of flexible decision teams when MNEs assess turbulent markets. Remarkably, flexible teams composed of fallible evaluators can outperform what is usually thought of as an optimal'' decision. Our main ...
• The interrelationships between television viewing, values and perceived well-being: A global perspective AI翻译
  作者：Speck, Sandra K. Smith; Roy, Abhijit
  作者单位：Idaho State University; University of Scranton
  摘要：Do global marketing efforts, for example, those using television as a medium, impact on the values and life satisfaction of people, and, if so, is the process similar or different in various regions of the world? We empirically examine the relationship between television viewing, core values (i.e., religiosity and materialism), and perceived well-being factors (e.g., perceived socioeconomic status and relative life satisfaction). Data collected from the Western developed nations (e.g., United ...
• Regional diversification and firm performance AI翻译

  摘要：This study examines how regional diversification affects firm performance. The results indicate that regional diversification has linear and curvilinear effects on firm performance. Regional diversification enhances firm performance linearly up to a certain threshold, and then its impact becomes negative. The results also show that firms of developed countries maximize their performance when they operate across a moderate number of developed regions and a strictly limited number of developing ...
• Regulatory environments and the location decision: evidence from the early foreign market entries of new-technology-based firms AI翻译
  作者：Coeurderoy, Rgis; Murray, Gordon
  作者单位：Universite Catholique Louvain; University of Exeter
  摘要：New-technology-based firms (NTBFs) embarking on a strategy of rapid internationalisation choose foreign market entries that minimise transaction costs and the related risks of failure. Means to reduce the young firms' vulnerability to the appropriation of intellectual capital are particularly important influences on early foreign market choices. We explore the effect of the institutional dimension, specifically the national regulatory environment, on the location choices and the speed of inter...
• Risk perception and the financial system AI翻译
  作者：Purda, Lynnette D.
  作者单位：Queens University - Canada
  摘要：I examine how a country's financial system influences assessments of firm-level risk. Consistent with theories of financial intermediation, I find that firms located in a country with a bank-oriented financial system are perceived as posing a lower credit risk and correspondingly are assigned higher credit ratings than otherwise similar firms in a market-oriented setting. Even after considering elements of a country's legal infrastructure that relate to creditor protection and insolvency proce...
