摘要：We examine whether and how impact investment-investing to secure both financial and social returns-is associated with formalization at founding. While impact investing has increasingly been promoted as a tool to support economic development, evidence on its relationship with patterns of formal firm entry in the Global South remains limited. This is important because while informality provides important livelihoods, widespread informal activity constrains growth, limits employment quality, and ...

摘要：Income inequality is a worldwide phenomenon that increasingly concerns scholars, policy-makers, business leaders, and ordinary citizens. Building on research emphasizing the role of firms in shaping societal outcomes, this study investigates how organizational pay structures-specifically the chief executive officer (CEO)-to-employee pay ratios-relate to societal-level income inequality and citizens' subjective well-being. Using a 15-year panel dataset of 53 countries, we find that higher CEO-t...

摘要：The United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals provide a framework for categorizing research that addresses global challenges and advances societal wellbeing. Using multiple large language models, this study analyzed 47,197 articles published in 18 business and management journals, including the Journal of International Business Studies, representing five business and management disciplines over 55 years (1970-2024). The objective was to assess the extent to which scholars, including tho...

摘要：The world is witnessing an increase in interorganizational conflicts across borders, yet their impact on firms' international expansion remains largely underexplored. Building on intergroup contact theory, we theorize that involvement in conflict with a foreign firm constitutes a form of negative intergroup contact, which can spill over into broader unfavorable attitudes-not only toward the specific foreign entity involved but also toward the foreign market more generally. Specifically, we pre...

摘要：While geopolitical conflicts, including trade wars, have garnered substantial scholarly attention in recent years, the impact on the outsider firms not directly involved in such conflicts remains underexplored. Engaging in real-options informed analysis, we examine how MNEs from third countries may respond to trade wars by capitalizing on the potential for competitive opportunities: where trade wars prompt the scaling up of third-country subsidiary operations in the involved countries. We furt...

摘要：Cultural products-characterized by rich artistic expression and symbolic meaning -are now produced and distributed globally at unprecedented speed. Yet as their reach expands, so too does resistance, as cultural goods become increasingly entangled in geopolitical tensions, cultural sensitivities. This paradox-of easier global access but more contested local acceptance-poses new strategic challenges for multinational enterprises (MNEs) in these industries and presents valuable opportunities for...

摘要：A thriving international cultural industry fuels the expansion of the global creative economy. Yet, what drives the international diffusion and performance of cultural products? This study adopts a social influence perspective to examine the international performance of film exports, addressing a critical gap in existing research that often isolates social influences without considering the impact of their (in)congruence. Given the subjective nature of cultural products and their vulnerability...

摘要：In this study, we examine over 100 years of Rothschild's international activity: we analyze this multinational enterprise's (MNE's) cross-border transfer of family-derived firm-specific advantages (FSAs) and the challenges of recombination thereof with novel resources. Family-derived FSAs hinge on the resources and features of the owning and controlling family. During the period of Rothschild's international success in 19th-century Europe, the family itself served as a recombination mechanism ...
