  摘要：To empirically address the importance of the cultural context for successful assignments, we conducted two studies using a large sample of public-sector US professionals working in comparable jobs in 156 different countries. The results provided direct evidence that social and perceptual skill, reasoning ability, and adjustment- and achievement-orientation personality requirements are higher in expatriate assignments, which has implications for pre-departure selection. Also, the results partly...

  摘要：We study the causes of the difficulties faced by firms when they internationalize in search of new markets. We build on the resource-based theory to argue that the difficulties in internationalization can be separated into three main sets based on their relationship to advantage: loss of advantage provided by resources transferred abroad; creation of a disadvantage by resources transferred abroad; and lack of complementary resources required to operate abroad. In each set, we further distingui...
• International venturing by emerging economy firms: the effects of firm capabilities, home country networks, and corporate entrepreneurship AI翻译

  摘要：Past literature on foreign direct investment generally supports an economics perspective that there is a direct relationship between firm-specific ownership advantages and international expansion. However, in emerging economies, with their institutional environment context characterized by low resource munificence and continuous economic liberalization, a theoretical extension of the current perspective is needed. This paper introduces new parameters by focusing on specific ownership advantage...

  摘要：Learning and acquiring local market knowledge from foreign distributors are central to manufacturers' export market performance. Drawing from the resource-based view, we propose that manufacturers need to develop stronger local market competence while simultaneously minimizing the costs of distributor opportunism in order to compete successfully in the export market. Cultural distance and other barriers, however, may hinder the development of local market competence for the manufacturer while ...
• Distance, dependence and diversity of markets: effects on market orientation AI翻译
  作者：Ellis, Paul D.
  作者单位：Hong Kong Polytechnic University
  摘要：An inconsistent pattern of findings drawn from past research on the market orientation-performance relationship hints at the presence of extraneous sources of influence relating to geographical factors. This paper makes an initial step towards explaining these inconsistencies by advancing propositions linking market orientation with the location of the firm's marketing activities. Data from an exploratory study conducted within a small trade-dependent economy support the idea that the developm...
• Beyond Gaussian averages: redirecting international business and management research toward extreme events and power caws AI翻译
  作者：Andriani, Pierpaolo; McKelvey, Bill
  作者单位：University of California System; University of California Los Angeles; Durham University
  摘要：Practicing managers live in a world of 'extremes', but international business and management research is based on Gaussian statistics that rule out such extremes. On occasion, positive feedback processes among interactive data points cause extreme events characterized by power laws. They seem ubiquitous; we list 80 kinds of them - half each among natural and social phenomena. We use imposed tension and Per Bak's 'self-organized criticality' to argue that Pareto-based science and statistics (ba...
• On the growth of foreign affiliates: multinational plant networks, joint ventures, and flexibility AI翻译
  作者：Belderbos, Rene; Zou, Jianglei
  作者单位：KU Leuven; Eindhoven University of Technology
  摘要：We take a flexibility perspective to analyse employment growth in a large sample of Japanese manufacturing affiliates in nine Asian countries during the ears leading up to and into the Asian financial crisis (11995-1999). We find that joint ventures are less flexible than wholly owned affiliates in responding to changing environmental conditions in the focal country, and underperform in high-growth environments. Multinational enterprises (MNES) use the flexibility created by their multinationa...
• The behavioural homogeneity evaluation framework: multi-level evaluations of consumer involvement in international segmentation AI翻译
  作者：Broderick, Amanda J.; Greenley, Gordon E.; Mueller, Rene Dentiste
  作者单位：Aston University
  摘要：This paper presents a generic strategic framework of alternative international marketing strategies and market segmentation based on intra- and inter-cultural behavioural homogeneity. Consumer involvement (CI) is proposed as a pivotal construct to capture behavioural homogeneity, for the identification of market segments. Results from a five-country study demonstrate how the strategic framework can be valuable in managerial decision-making. First, there is evidence for the cultural invariance ...
• Institutional theory and MNC subsidiary HRM practices:: evidence from a three-country study AI翻译

  摘要：This study sets out to explore human resource management (HRM) practices in multinational corporation (MNC) subsidiaries within an institutional theory framework. Based on a sample of 158 subsidiaries of MNCs operating in the United States, Russia and Finland, the paper examines factors hypothesised to influence the HRM practices adapted in US, Japanese and European MNC subsidiaries located in Russia, Finland and the US. The results indicate significant differences in HRM practices used across...
• Country-of-origin and choice of food imports: an in-depth study of European distribution channel gatekeepers AI翻译
  作者：Knight, John G.; Holdsworth, David K.; Mather, Damien W.
  作者单位：University of Otago
  摘要：Country-of-origin preferences of distribution channel gatekeepers when sourcing food imports were investigated using in-depth interviews in five European markets. Channel member perceptions of product-country image related more to specific issues of confidence and trust in integrity of production, certification and regulatory systems than to country image stereotypes. This study integrates these trust-determining factors with price-perceived value constructs in order to build a comprehensive m...
