摘要：A new fully integrated analysis of the foreign market entry decision is presented, encompassing the choice between exporting, licensing, joint venturing and wholly owned foreign investment. The choice between acquisition and greenfield investment is examined, and so too are options based on subcontracting and franchising. The model extends the insights of-internalization theory, and draws on concepts from the economics of industrial organization. A special feature of the model is the distincti...

摘要：Combining foreign direct investment theory with data on 32 countries from the Federal Reserve Board, we examined U.S. banks' patterns of foreign operations, including their levels of banking services and choice of organizational forms in host countries. Results generally supported predictions, but only in developed countries. The lack of support in rapidly growing markets of Asia and Latin America raises serious theoretical concerns, and presents fresh research opportunities into the global ba...

摘要：This study assesses the impact of economic ideology and national culture on the individual work values of managers in the United States, Russia, Japan, and China. The convergence-divergence-crossvergence (CDC) framework was used as a theoretical framework for the study, while the Schwartz Value Survey (SVS) was used to operationalize our investigation of managerial work values across these four countries. The findings largely support the crossvergence perspective, while also confirming the rol...

摘要：This paper investigates tbe effect of international activities on capital structure as measured by a debt ratio. Prior studies have examined factors that affect the debt ratio for both multinational corporations (MNCs) and domestic corporations (DCs); however, the incremental explanatory power and the direct effect of the extent of international activities on capital structure have not been tested. This paper uses multiple regression analyses to add measures of international activities after c...

摘要：Using the well-supported dimensions of autonomy and procedural justice, a four-quadrant model of subsidiary strategy is proposed and a four-part typology hypothesised (partner, collaborator, militant, and vassal subsidiaries). A clustering process is used to develop a four-group taxonomy that corresponds with the induced model. The four groups of subsidiaries are analysed across seven alternative strategic dimensions - integration, responsiveness, coordination, configuration, market scope, pro...

摘要：Why are some small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) more successful in selling outside their domestic markets than are other SMEs in the same industry? Although the traditional explanation is that firms can gain valuable knowledge and resources as they become older and larger, small and young firms are not necessarily disadvantaged if they develop other mechanisms to acquire the requisite knowledge and resources, We examine the role of the management team's international experience as such ...

摘要：Effective international management requires knowledge of culturally patterned self-concepts and concomitant feedback desires, This paper argues that the cultural forces of individualism versus collectivism shape the self-concept, and by extension individual performance evaluation and feedback seeking, We present a comparative study to test the hypotheses that U.S. respondents desire success feedback (whereas Japanese and Chinese desire failure feedback), show more initiative and perceive more ...
