摘要：Acculturation is a critical yet insufficiently theorized process underlying expatriates' and migrants' cross-cultural adjustment. A central assumption in acculturation research is that adjustment depends on the fit between individuals and their environment, yet the concept of fit and its temporal development remain underdeveloped. We develop a dynamic conceptual model of acculturation by integrating person-environment (P-E) fit theory with acculturation research, and conceptualize acculturatio...

摘要：Emerging extended reality (XR) technologies, such as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), enable global businesses to deliver immersive experiences to customers beyond geographical borders. Despite the opportunities, leveraging XR innovations in foreign markets can present significant challenges. This study investigates whether and under what conditions global businesses experience liability of foreignness (LOF) when leveraging XR innovations. We argue that LOF in XR innovations ar...

摘要：We examine how radical industry transformations shape firms' internationalization, addressing the limited theorization of how industry-level dynamicsinfluence internationalization processes. Drawing on a historical case study of Telecom Finland's internationalization during two radical transformations in the European telecommunications industry (1987-1998), we show how industry transformation simultaneously orients firms toward parallel internationalization and constrains its execution through...

摘要：Dictionary-based methods are widely used to assess the information content of corporate disclosures, yet they are primarily developed within the U.S. context. This study applies a popular U.S.-based dictionary approach to analyze the disclosure sentiment of 200,960 earnings call transcripts across 85 countries. While disclosure sentiment is positively associated with short-window stock returns globally, the relationship is approximately 30% weaker for non-U.S. firms. Drawing on cultural accoun...

摘要：This study examines why and how multinational corporations (MNCs) may see their local assets transferred to or absorbed by their host-country partners. Drawing on transaction cost economics, we argue that factors beyond the traditional ones proposed by international business research-e.g., entry mode, country risk, or elite ties-can help explain this indigenization of MNC subsidiaries. Using a comparative historical analysis of French and US MNCs operating in Spain from the 1870s to 1959 and a...

摘要：We advance the application of the behavioral theory of the firm (BTOF) in the international context by developing and validating a foreignness-based social comparison framework. Moving beyond industry-based social comparison, our novel framework highlights foreignness as a basis for foreign firms' identification of social reference groups during international operation. We argue that foreignness is a multi-layered social construct, including an undifferentiated layer shared by all foreign firm...

摘要：With increasing public attention to corporate sustainability, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) controversies emerging in global supply chains present a growing problem for multinational enterprises (MNEs). This paper investigates whether MNEs with geographically dispersed suppliers are more likely to be exposed to supplier-related ESG controversies. It also explores structural characteristics of global supply chains that can mitigate MNEs' exposure to such controversies. Building on...

摘要：Most research on bottom-up innovation emphasizes that employees innovate by embracing uncertainty, a view rooted in Anglo-Saxon cultures that value risk-taking. However, countries influenced by Confucian traditions, which prioritize harmony and conflict avoidance, also achieve strong innovation outcomes, presenting a cultural paradox. We address this paradox by introducing face concerns, the desire to maintain or enhance one's social image, as a culturally specific mechanism shaping innovation...
