摘要：With an emphasis on deliberative processes that occur between managers and stakeholders, the political corporate social responsibility (PCSR) literature has made important advances to our understanding of CSR activities. However, these contributions have tended to focus exclusively on organizational settings. We contend that an understanding of firm-level CSR is incomplete without considering the interrelations between organizations and the wider socio-political environment. Building on work i...

摘要：A contemporary challenge for the international business (IB) field is to maintain a link between the global activity of firms and the local concerns of regions and communities. In this essay, we reflect on how the IB scholarship of the late Stephen Young, which was embedded in (but not confined to) Scotland, offers valuable insight into how this might be done. With an overarching interest in the role of IB in economic development, the common thread in his work on multinational enterprise (MNE)...

摘要：Using hand-collected data and exploiting a natural experiment in China, we show that directors with foreign experience improve corporate transparency in emerging markets. The positive effect of these directors manifests itself if their experience originates from countries with high disclosure quality, if they reach a critical mass at the board, or if they serve on the audit committee. When exploring potential channels, we find that earnings transparency and voluntary disclosure increase after ...

摘要：Digital global connectivity offers multinational enterprises new opportunities, but it also brings unique risks, an area not yet well examined in international business. This article presents an organizational information-processing framework, which elucidates what (risk types and sources), how (risk assessing and managing), and whom (vulnerable firms) these risks relate to, in a dialectical manner that seeks to combine theoretical insights and managerial actions. We focus on three types of ri...

摘要：There has long been a dominant logic in the international business literature that multinational corporations should adapt business practices to fit host cultures. Business practices that are congruent with local cultural norms have been advocated as effective and desirable, while practices that are incongruent have been deemed problematic. We examine and challenge this persistent assumption by reviewing the literature showing evidence for both benefits and acceptance of countercultural practi...

摘要：This paper studies the effect of the United States (US) Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) on US multinational firms' foreign direct investment (FDI). Unlike prior studies that focused on the passage of the FCPA, our study examines how the actual enforcement of the FCPA affects firms' foreign investment decisions. We show that initial FCPA enforcement in a host country triggers MNEs to reassess their likelihood of being targeted, which in turn has a strong deterrence effect on subsequent US ...

摘要：This study examines the interactive effects of host-country societal trust and formal institutions on foreign subsidiary staffing strategies. Based on the conceptualization of institutions in new institutional economics, we demonstrate that high societal trust and strong formal institutions that support market-based exchange jointly reduce the incidence of expatriate staffing in foreign subsidiaries. We identify two contingency factors - subsidiary interdependence and host-country experience -...

摘要：Foreignness has long been a central construct in international business research, with research streams examining its conceptualizations, manifestations, and consequences. Researchers started by taking foreignness to be a liability, then later considered the possibility of its being an asset. A still more recent view is that foreignness is an organizational identity that a firm can purposefully manage. Broadly conceived, foreignness is an umbrella construct that directly or tangentially covers...

摘要：Competing in an era of de-globalization presents new challenges for multinationals, particularly for those from large emerging economies. Emerging market MNEs (EMNEs) in the past benefited from an open, globalizing context that facilitates springboard and compositional strategies. De-globalization makes it significantly harder for them to continue this journey. This study tackles the question of what it takes for EMNEs to execute compositional springboard strategies in the new era, making five...
