  摘要：Managing multinational enterprise subsidiaries is a core facet of international business research. A shifting reality on the ground has triggered concerns around the waning relevance of the subsidiary because the MNE and its structure and processes have become increasingly complex. Consequently, more decentralized, responsive, and fluid organizational designs are now at the core of IB research. Juxtaposing recent arguments questioning subsidiary research altogether, we argue that IB scholars c...
• The impact of cultural tightness on the relationship between structural holes, tie strength, and creativity AI翻译

  摘要：Social networks have gained increased attention as a lens to understand employee creativity around the world. We propose that a complete understanding of whether and when structural holes and tie strength are conducive to creativity requires considering the cultural tightness of the country in which individual creators are embedded. Building on the diversity-bandwidth trade-off identified in network research, we theorize that, in culturally tight countries, where knowledge diversity is the pri...

  摘要：How has international business (IB) research evolved to account for the politicization of the context in which multinational corporations (MNCs) operate? To address this question, we review research at the nexus of location, politics, and the MNC from 2000 through 2021. Rooted in classic IB theories, our review reveals three directions in current IB research: (i) expansion of MNC agency in shaping the political environment, (ii) a wider diversity of actors involved in the business-government-s...

  摘要：We replicate and extend Mohr et al.'s work (Journal of International Business Studies 47: 408-426, 2016), which hypothesized that increased state participation in the equity of international joint ventures (IJVs) decreased dissolution likelihoods, as tested with a sample of 623 Sino-foreign IJVs in the 1985-2009 period. Given the rapid developments in China's economy and its institutional environment, we ask the question of whether the effects in Mohr et al. (2016) can be observed over a long ...
• Strategic leaders in multinational enterprises: A role-specific microfoundational view and research agenda AI翻译

  摘要：Strategic leadership research in the field of international business (IB) explains how the actions and outcomes of multinational enterprises (MNE) vary with the attributes and interactions of their key decision-makers, i.e., their strategic leaders. Yet, while the importance of strategic leadership has gained momentum in IB, we lack a systematic understanding of the roles that strategic leaders enact in the MNE context. This omission is critical, as understanding the distinctive roles of IB de...
• Spatial and temporal distances in a virtual global world: Lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic AI翻译
  作者：Nachum, Lilac; Buckley, Peter J.
  作者单位：City University of New York (CUNY) System; Baruch College (CUNY); University of Leeds
  摘要：The experience of COVID-19 prompted us to rethink the imperatives of distance for the organization of value-creating activities globally. We advance a conceptualization of distance as representing separation in both space and time and posit that these distance dimensions represent different kinds of separation and require varied theoretical attention. We delineate the intrinsic qualities of spatial and temporal distances and theorize the impact of this extended conceptualization of distance on...

• Understanding the relationship between advertising spending and happiness at the country level AI翻译

  摘要：Concerns have been raised as to the potentially deleterious effects of advertising on society. We examine this issue given the recent calls to explore the societal effects of international business activities, the substantive nature of advertising spending globally, and the movement by governments to hold businesses accountable for societal harms. We build upon the general theory of competitive rationality, suggesting a positive relationship between advertising spending and happiness at the co...
• Corruption revisited: the influence of national personality, culture, and wealth AI翻译

  摘要：Corruption is often seen as one of the root causes of pressing national and global challenges. The persisting stark national differences in corruption levels and their potential causes have thus attracted growing interest from international business scholars. The objective of this study was to re-examine key factors that predict levels of national corruption. Drawing on comprehensive personality data from over 5 million respondents across 87 nations, and numerous dimensions of national culture...
• Social integration in subsidiary-building acquisitions AI翻译
  作者：Colman, Helene Loe; Rouzies, Audrey; Lunnan, Randi
  作者单位：BI Norwegian Business School; Universite de Toulouse
  摘要：We identify and conceptualize the phenomenon of subsidiary-building acquisitions. International acquisitions provide a powerful means for multinational corporations (MNCs) to grow their existing subsidiaries. The integration of subsidiary-building acquisitions involves a triad of actors: the MNC, the existing subsidiary, and the target. However, extant research emphasizes international acquisitions as a cross-border phenomenon, focusing in a limited way on the foreign acquirer-local target dya...
