摘要:Cross-border nonmarket strategy-multinational enterprises' choice of nonmarket strategic actions in pursuit of profitability in a host market-is an essential part of international business. Recent calls for research assert, however, that very little is known about how multinational enterprises choose among cross-border nonmarket strategies. We thus propose that egalitarianism-one type of home-country informal institution-is a key predictor of an important set of cross-border nonmarket strategy...

摘要:Populist politicians employ rhetoric and policy actions aimed at disrupting a country's institutional environment that undergirds private investors' assets. In this study, I describe how governments led by populists interfere in countries' institutional environments and how this may affect the viability of firms' investments. I suggest that populists' interference capacity to disrupt institutions may increase with weaker constraints on executive power and with more time in power, and the capac...

摘要:This article examines whether circular economy (CE) strategies enhance firm resilience after systemic shocks. Building on the natural resource-based view, we argue that CE investments made before COVID-19 can strengthen resilience by converting sustainability-oriented capabilities into absorptive and adaptive capabilities. Yet this conversion is not automatic: it depends on firms' ability to manage three tensions between efficiency and redundancy, continuity and reconfiguration, and strategic ...

摘要:Country-level influences matter for CSR performance. While prior studies have uncovered what individual country-level variables predict firms' CSR performance, we know little about how much of the variance in CSR performance is explained by systematic influences at the country level. We conduct an abductive variance decomposition study to estimate the proportion of CSR variance explained at the country level, relative to the firm, industry, and regional levels, and how cultural environments in...

摘要:In this retrospective, we expand on theorizing about institutions and social entrepreneurship (SE) as presented in our Decade Award-winning 2015 article. Our 2015 paper developed the institutional configuration perspective, which considers joint and interaction effects of formal and informal institutions. It organized disagreement about how formal institutions shape SE, contrasting the institutional voids and institutional support perspectives. In this retrospective, we introduce a revised hie...

摘要:In this crowdsourced initiative, 57 independent analysts used the same longitudinal dataset to address four major empirical questions in international business. For all four research questions, different analysts obtained substantial estimates in opposite directions, meaning that they could have drawn any conclusion at all had they conducted the project alone. Aggregating across the results obtained by different analysts pointed to an overall answer for two of the four research questions, alth...

摘要:As artificial intelligence (AI) increasingly permeates international business (IB), it raises two critical questions for IB research: (1) How does AI reshape the external environment for firm internationalization? and (2) How do firms adapt their internationalization strategies within this AI-transformed landscape? To address the first question, we argue that the AI era is characterized by the coexistence of multiple AI ecosystems-each rooted in a country's national AI sectoral system, yet glo...

摘要:Longstanding debates persist about the impact of new technologies on firms, particularly as it relates to internationalization. Some scholars suggest that digitalization will enhance the benefits of export activity by facilitating connections with partners and customers. Others, however, suggest that digitalization will simply fail to live up to the hype-or perhaps even worse. This debate is especially relevant for SMEs given that export activity is the primary route to global markets for such...

摘要:Digital platforms often expand internationally faster than public institutions can evolve, raising the question of how they sustain operations in weak institutional environments. I theorize governance capability, defined as the firm-level ability to design, implement, and enforce rules regulating participant behavior, as a dual institutional substitute. When home-country institutions are weak, platforms develop governance capability to fill domestic institutional voids (substitution at home), ...

摘要:Grand Challenges are complex problems that transcend national borders and affect future generations and, as a result, have traditionally been viewed as the responsibility of governments. Building on economic theories of market imperfections, we introduce a three-pronged framework to explain how multinationals contribute solutions to Grand Challenges. First, we clarify multinationals' solutions by classifying them by their sustainability dimensions and associated market imperfections: solutions...
