摘要：The advent of Industry 4.0 promises to transform the global business landscape, the nature of markets and industries, and the way multinationals organize their operations as well as how and where they compete. These changes will have important - indeed profound - implications for IB scholarship. In this article, we explain Industry 4.0 and its distinguishing characteristics; discuss its organizational and strategic implications for multinationals; and outline the fundamental questions it raise...

摘要：The purpose of this JIBS editorial is to outline the vision and mission of the new JIBS Societal Impact Advisory Committee (SIAC). We define societal impact as research that has potential effects outside academia, for example, on communities, economies, environments, and other actors. We propose that societal impact is especially important for international business (IB) research but also particularly challenging, given the cross-national dimensions of IB and the differing social, economic, a...

摘要：Transaction costs economics work has argued that monitoring procedures are needed to evaluate the extent to which overseas partners comply with their obligations. We posit that the transactional theory of stress can also inform on how to distinguish opportunists from non-opportunists. Synthesizing these two theories and using a three-study, multimethod design, we examine whether different types of stressors influence opportunism, and how and under what conditions such links are moderated by mo...

摘要：We review and bridge the literature on the internationalization of state-owned firms and sovereign wealth funds to provide a novel understanding of how government ownership affects foreign investments in three ways. First, we explain how state-owned firms and funds behave differently from private ones because they need to balance governments' nonbusiness objectives and firms' business goals. This results in competing predictions on whether government ownership helps or hinders internationaliza...

摘要：How does cultural diversity influence the performance of semi-virtual teams? We use the prism of esports and insights from virtual identity research and social categorization theory to determine the effect on semi-virtual teams in which member interaction is not necessarily mediated or constrained by physical world sociocultural norms. The common ground that has developed in esports results in a superordinate, culture-free gamer identity that transcends the virtual and physical worlds, and thu...

摘要：This study explores the role of clients' mindset metrics (i.e., satisfaction and sentiment) attributing to the variation in the adoption patterns of multi-generational services (MGS) of those clients of an MGS supplier. Based on a triangulation approach and theoretical underpinning, we propose that clients manage three MGS adoption metrics - multigenerational depth, features, and time - to augment their capabilities over time. We show that the linkages between mindset, and adoption metrics, mo...

摘要：We propose the concept of opportunity belief as a means of understanding individuals as the interpreters of their contexts over the internationalization process of a firm. To illustrate the concept, we conducted a microhistorical analysis on one of the largest forest industry MNEs with an internationalization history of more than 150 years. Historical archival data and rich secondary material provided access to the reasonings of individuals over the firm's internationalization. This allowed de...

摘要：Given the diverse, interdisciplinary, and multilevel nature of international business (IB) research, it is critical to address methodological challenges prior to data collection. Thus, we suggest that an ounce of methodological prevention is worth a pound of cure. We describe the following challenges: (1) researching an important and relevant issue; (2) making meaningful theoretical progress; (3) recognizing, anticipating, and resolving dilemmas in research design and execution decisions; (4) ...
