  摘要：Theory suggests that culture may der the ability to effectively standardize the process of relationship development strategies across intra- and inter-cultural relationships. Construct relationships between trust, commitment, conflict and satisfaction in manufacturer-distributor relationships are examined intra- (i.e., within a single cultural type) and inter-culturally (i.e,, between different cultural types) with a sample of distributors from Canada, Chile, Mexico and the United States, Resu...

  摘要：Because entrepreneurs mature within a societal context, their attitudes toward cooperation are likely to be influenced by the underlying values of their society. Using a seven-nation sample, we find that the entrepreneurs from feminine, collective, and uncertanity-avoiding societies have a greater appreciation for the strategic importance of cooperative strategies than their counterparts. Moreover, entrepreneurs from feminine societies place greater emphasis on partner commonality in terms of ...

  摘要：As global corporations pursue a dual strategy of global integration and local responsiveness, it becomes necessary to determine whether some management practices can be applied across borders. Using a sample of 143 employees from nine Nigerian organizations, we found that organizational support contributed to technology usage. However, only employees with low computer training associated support with aspects of technology usage such as daily use frequency of use, and total application.
• Cross-national empirical generalization in business services buying behavior AI翻译

  摘要：We examine cross-national generalization of the relative importance of factors that affect supplier selection and level of usage for global business services providers. Tests indicate that the majority of the response coefficients for a model of foreign exchange markets are equal across the four countries studied - U.S., Canada, U.K., and Germany. Inter-country differences in buyer response seem most related to competitiveness and identifiable country-specific institutional factors.

  摘要：Guanxi refers to a Chinese system of doing business on the basis of personal relationships, and it is representative of the way that business is done throughout much of the non-western world. In this,paper we first evaluate guanxi from an ethical perspective, and then attempt to shed light on the sources of its economic advantages and disadvantages through the use. of a simple mathematical model, Finally, we point out how eastern and western business practices may already be converging toward ...
• Trade, foreign direct investment, and R&D spillovers AI翻译
  作者：Hejazi, W; Safarian, AE

  摘要：Attempts to measure the spillover effects of multinational enterprises on host countries have generally been cross-sectional and limited to labour productivity in manufacturing for a single country. Recent work in growth theory has measured the extent to which growth in total factor productivity in a country depends not only on domestic R&D capital stocks but also on foreign R&D capital stocks. This paper extends such work by adding foreign direct investment stocks to foreign trade as a channe...
• Leadership behavior and organizational commitment: A comparative study of American and Indian salespersons AI翻译
  作者：Agarwal, S; DeCarlo, TE; Vyas, SB

  摘要：Many studies have examined the impact of leadership behaviors on salespersons' organizational commitment. Unfortunately, little is known about how leadership behaviors impact salespersons' organizational commitment in countries other than United States. The lack of re-search is problematic given that many firms today operate globally. This study fills the gap and presents I a framework for understanding the role of culture on relationships between leadership behaviors and organizational commit...
• A measure of export market orientation: Scale development and cross-cultural validation AI翻译

  摘要：This study reports on the construction and psychometric assessment of a measure of export market orientation. Four multi-item scales were developed showing strong evidence of reliability and convergent, discriminant, and nomological validity in samples of U.K. and Dutch exporters. Further analysis revealed full invariance of the final measure across the two country samples. Several suggestions for applying the measure in substantive research are offered.
• A note on countertrade: Contractual uncertainty and transaction governance in emerging economies AI翻译
  作者：Choi, CJ; Lee, SH; Kim, JB
  作者单位：University of London; Birkbeck University London
  摘要：This paper develops a conceptual framework for analyzing organizational responses to contractual uncertainty in the context of emerging economies. Elaborating on Hennart's (1989) transaction cost rationale for countertrade, we develop a typology of exchange and transaction governance pertinent to the study of emerging economies: Contract, trust and hostage. Notwithstanding the traditional explanation based on foreign ex-change shortage, we argue that the persistence of international countertra...
• Intra-cultural variation: Evidence and implications for international business AI翻译
  作者：Au, KY
  作者单位：Chinese University of Hong Kong
  摘要：This paper discusses the methodological and theoretical significance of intra-cultural variation (ICV)-the population distribution of a characteristic within a culture. A Monte Carlo study shows that ICV has substantial influence on the statistical power of cross-cult ural tests, Therefore, studying ICV is methodologically important if we are to understand inconsistent findings and design cross-cultural studies with enough statistical power. Moreover, an examination of the cultural means and I...
