  摘要：Drawing from concepts of cultural distance and cultural propensity to change, we predict the convergence, divergence or crossvergence of distributive justice values in China and Russia, as compared with US managers. Using institutional theory, we predict responses by organizational type (joint ventures/foreign-owned vs state-owned enterprises (SOEs)). Lastly, we develop predictions based on the interaction of culture and organizational type. Results indicate divergence in China, regardless of ...
• Policy uncertainty and the sequence of entry by Japanese firms, 1980-1998 AI翻译
  作者：Delios, A; Henisz, WJ
  作者单位：National University of Singapore; University of Pennsylvania
  摘要：We extend the stages model of internationalization to incorporate a sophisticated consideration of temporal and cross-national variation in the uncertainty of the policy environment. Using a sample of 6465 international expansions of 665 Japanese manufacturing firms in 49 countries, we develop arguments from internationalization and bargaining power perspectives to show how Japanese firms manage policy uncertainty in host country environments through the within-country sequencing of investment...
• The power of the Buckley and Casson thesis: the ability to manage institutional idiosyncrasies AI翻译
  作者：Henisz, WJ
  作者单位：University of Pennsylvania
  摘要：Recent patterns of rapid internationalization in sectors characterized by strong public interest and both government and domestic capital constraints seem, at first, inconsistent with the drivers of internationalization identified by Buckley and Casson (1976) for manufacturing industries in the postwar era. A more microanalytic perspective, however, identifies the ability to manage institutional idiosyncrasies as a firm-level capability akin to research or advertising that can drive internaliz...
• Broadening the foreign market entry mode decision: separating ownership and control AI翻译
  作者：Brown, JR; Dev, CS; Zhou, Z

  摘要：This paper argues that the ownership and control dimensions of foreign market entry mode choice should be separated, and that foreign market entry mode decisions should be expanded to business activities beyond production and distribution. Empirical results from the global hotel industry indicate that the transferability of the entrant's competitive advantages, the local market's absorptive capacity, and the availability of trustworthy local partners differentially affect the ownership and con...
• Knowledge of the firm and the evolutionary theory of the multinational corporation AI翻译
  作者：Kogut, B; Zander, U
  作者单位：University of Pennsylvania; Stockholm School of Economics
  摘要：Firms are social communities that specialize in the creation and internal transfer of knowledge. The multinational corporation arises not out of the failure of markets for the buying and selling of knowledge, but out of its superior; efficiency as an organizational vehicle by which to transfer this knowledge across borders. We test the claim that firms specialize in the internal transfer of tacit knowledge by empirically examining the decision to transfer the capability to manufacture new prod...
• A cross-national assessment of the values of Latin America managers: contrasting hues or shades of gray? AI翻译
  作者：Lenartowicz, T; Johnson, JP
  作者单位：Rollins College; State University System of Florida; Florida Atlantic University
  摘要：We draw upon studies from the social sciences to develop and test hypotheses about similarities and differences in the importance of values among managers in 12 Latin American countries. Using the Rokeach Value Survey, data from 1015 owner-managers of small businesses indicated convergence among values relating to group interests, but significant variation among values serving individual interests. In addition, several groups of countries were identified as culturally similar, whereas Brazil a...
• A three-stage theory of international expansion: the link between multinationality and performance in the service sector AI翻译
  作者：Contractor, FJ; Kundu, SK; Hsu, CC
  作者单位：Saint Louis University; Rutgers University System; Rutgers University New Brunswick
  摘要：It is generally assumed that the performance of a firm improves with greater multinationality. Yet recent empirical studies have shown both a U-shaped relationship (which suggests an initially negative effect of international expansion on performance, before the positive returns of international expansion are realized) and an inverted-U-shaped relationship (which suggests that international expansion beyond an optimal level is again detrimental to performance, and results in a negative slope)....
• The 'power' of international business research AI翻译
  作者：Brock, JKU
  作者单位：University of Strathclyde
  摘要：Statistical power is the probability of accepting the null hypothesis when it is false (type II error). This research note reports the results of a statistical power analysis of international business research published in the journal of International Business Studies, Management International Review, the Academy of Management Journal, and the Strategic Management Journal from 1990 to 1999. The results show that, although average statistical power is high compared with other disciplines, it is...
• Does human resource management matter in a transitional economy? China as an example AI翻译
  作者：Law, KS; Tse, DK; Zhou, N
  作者单位：University of Hong Kong; Hong Kong University of Science & Technology; City University of Hong Kong
  摘要：This paper investigates the significance of how firms manage their human resources (HRs) within the confines of powerful social institutions in a transitional economy, the People's Republic of China (China). We propose that two dimensions, the role of human resource management (RHR) and followers' perception of the leader (TOP), are important contributors to firm performance as are the influences of the regional economy and firm ownership. We tested our hypotheses with a survey of 180 firms fr...
• The persistence and implications of Japanese keiretsu organization AI翻译
  作者：McGuire, J; Dow, S
  作者单位：Concordia University - Canada; University of Quebec; University of Quebec Montreal
  摘要：This paper examines two important research questions: (1) To what extent have recent economic and regulatory changes influenced the Japanese intercorporate network? (2) Have the patterns of firm performance fostered by the Japanese inter-corporate system remained stable, or has there been an evolution to more 'North American' performance profiles? Using hierarchical regressions to compare patterns of networking and firm performance with data from the periods 1987 to 1991 and 1992 to 1997, we f...
