摘要：When deciding on overseas production locations, the manager must take into account not only resource and cost benefits, but the effect that country of origin may have on consumer evaluations. An experiment conducted by a telephone survey procedure examined country of origin perceptions of twelve countries and eight products, using both perceived quality and choice measures. As hypothesized, preferences were found to be more product specific for industrialized than less developed countries. In ...

摘要：This paper makes a case directed towards establishing the importance of global strategic considerations in choosing multinationals' entry mode. Specifically, it is our contention that beyond the environmental and transaction-specific factors well established in the literature to affect the entry mode decision, we should also consider the strategic relationship a multinational envisages between its operations across borders in reaching this decision. After incorporating various global strategic...

All participants completed questionnaires after the negotiation sessions, and six negotiators from each cultural group were videotaped during the interactions. Analysis of the questionnaire data indicated that Soviet negotiators achieved higher individual profits when using a competitive approach in negotiations. This result is in contrast to a more co...

摘要：This article tests alternative hypotheses about why developing countries are pursuing privatization, a policy that gained considerable popularity in the 1980s. Univariate and multivariate analysis indicate that privatization was more likely to be pursued by countries with high budget deficits, high foreign debt, and high dependence on international agencies like the World Bank and the IMF. In regions such as Latin America and Asia, the trend was also more likely in countries (a) that seemed to...

摘要：Multinational enterprises (MNEs) have responded to the open-door policies of socialist countries in recent years by investing in their economies through joint ventures. MNEs must formulate their investment strategies to control and manage the environmental risks peculiar to a traditional centrally planned economy (CPE) in which contextual and transactional environments are blurred. Joint venture sharing arrangements may be structured to control exposures to uncertainties and to align the inter...

摘要：Organizational theorists have correctly argued that the emergence and maintenance of robust cooperation between global strategic alliance partners is related to the diversity in the partners' characteristics. Yet previous research has failed to systematically delineate the important dimensions of interfirm diversity and integrate the dimensions into a unified framework of analysis. This paper develops a multilevel typology of interfirm diversity and focuses on organizational learning and adapt...

摘要：This study examines the interrelationships between yields on the U.S. and several foreign market portfolios over the 1980-89 period. Tests of Granger causality are used to investigate the effects of uni-directional causality, bi-directional causality, and contemporaneous adjustment in the determination of market rates of return. The results indicate that international equity market returns are largely contemporaneously determined, and the significance of contemporaneous effects varied over tim...
