摘要:We analyze whether cross-national distance between professional money managers and the positions they take in foreign markets affects investment performance. Out of four dimensions of cross-national distance (geography, culture, business climate, and industry), we find that only cultural distance inversely relates to portfolio performance. Investors earn higher returns in culturally similar foreign markets when market conditions in these countries are favorable. Our results show that the cultu...

摘要:Control and coordination efforts are at the heart of MNE functioning. Yet, our review reveals that the literature on MNE control and coordination lacks conceptual clarity, which may hamper the development of the field. In this critical review, we synthesize the literature over the past decade using a conceptual framework rooted in new internalization theory. Research remains fairly coarse regarding how various configurations and interactions of control and coordination mechanisms affect intend...

摘要:What can MNEs learn from the COVID-19 pandemic? IB scholars have provided ample insights into this question with many focusing on risk management. Complementing these insights, we argue that MNEs should also consider the long-lasting effect that COVID-19, inter alia, had on the institutional logic underlying globalization. The U.S. and its allies have redefined their logic from pursuing cost-reduction to building partnerships based on shared value, aiming to substitute China's role in the worl...

摘要:In response to Nachum et al.'s (J Int Bus Stud, 2023) call for further research in Africa by international business (IB) scholars, we argue that while IB scholars may have been slow to engage with Africa, the same cannot be said of related and IB-relevant business and management scholarship. There is already a substantial body of work on Africa in other domains of business and management scholarship - and relevant theorizing - that represents an important resource for IB scholarship. In contex...

摘要:In our Decade Award-winning article from 2012, we theorized and provided evidence consistent with nation-level institutions having a significant impact on corporate social performance (CSP) variation across companies. By establishing a link between the macro (i.e., country level) and micro (i.e., firm level) levels of analysis and by synthesizing across multiple disciplines including institutional economics, political science, cultural research, and institutional theory, we were able to demons...

摘要:We revisit the empirical origins of a popular research topic: the phenomenon of early and rapid internationalization. By means of a qualitative case study, we re-examine the samples of firms used in two of the seminal studies on 'born globals' and 'international new ventures'. A dominant pattern characterizing both samples, but not reported by the original authors, was that incumbent organizations were involved in the founding of the new ventures. Given this unexpected finding, we empirically ...

摘要:Breaches of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in global value chains (GVCs) pose a managerial challenge for multinational enterprises (MNEs) and threaten both their reputations and global sustainability. While an MNE-centric perspective on these issues has dominated existing international business research, we show that a dynamic view of bargaining among actors in the GVC can yield novel insights. We draw on coalitional game theory and develop a model where an MNE collaborates, monitors, a...

摘要:Our work builds on network theory to investigate the role of alliance networks in international acquisition premiums. On the one hand, we postulate that an international acquirer's network centrality in the target country lowers the inclination of offering higher bid premiums associated with its liability of foreignness (i.e., negatively moderates the relation between foreignness and premiums). On the other hand, we provide a perspective that a target firm's local network centrality increases ...
