摘要：We explore how companies with a history of offshoring attract their future employees. We reason that offshoring decisions send unintended signals about job insecurity to companies' onshore labor markets. This signaling effect implies that offshoring companies must pay higher salaries for new hires than non-offshoring companies. We tested our predictions on a sample of 7971 matched managers and professionals recently hired by offshoring and non-offshoring companies. Our results indicate a 3-7% ...

摘要：Superstition is a pervasive informal institution affecting the decision-making of organizational actors yet remains under-studied and ill-understood in international business research. We address this lacuna through examining how Western MNCs affect - and are affected by - the use of superstition among local subsidiary managers in an emerging Asian economy. Based on interviews, archival documents, and observation, our inductive investigation reveals a complex, changing, and surreptitious relat...

摘要：The anniversary of Kogut and Singh's construct of cultural distance is a good time to reflect on this immensely popular but flawed construct, assess the efficacy of the remedies offered for its reform and refinement, and chart an alternative approach that represents a departure from distance as the dominant paradigm with which to view and analyze the impact of national culture on cross-border business. The proposed alternative, a contact-based framework shifts attention from what sets cultures...

摘要：Contractor (J Int Bus Stud, 2022 ) argues that the COVID-19 pandemic has only accelerated changes in the world economy that had already started, and that the fundamental rationale for globalization remains. Although we agree with much of Contractor's analysis and conclusions, we argue that in the case of large family-owned multinational enterprises (MNEs), international behavior after the pandemic is likely to be varied, reflecting the strategic persistence and the heterogeneity of the goals, ...

摘要：The Welch et al. (J Int Bus Stud 42(5):740-762, 2011) JIBS Decade Award-winning article highlights the importance of the contextualization of international business research that is based on qualitative research methods. In this commentary, we build on their foundation and develop further the role of contextualization, in terms of the international business phenomena under study, contemporaneous conversations about qualitative research methods, and the situatedness of individual papers within ...

摘要：We conceptualize the dynamic capabilities of multinational enterprises (MNEs) as learning and adaptation capabilities that address the pressure of global integration and local responsiveness. Complementing the extant literature on dynamic capabilities, which is focused on the supply side, our study draws attention to the demand-side influences, especially in terms of global demand heterogeneity. We propose that global demand heterogeneity provides pressures and opportunities for MNEs to learn ...

摘要：Digital platforms, which play increasingly important roles in today's digitally connected world, are technologically complex and financially costly undertakings. Multinational enterprises (MNEs) devote substantial efforts to deploying and maintaining digital platforms. In this study, we examine the overall time and effort spent by MNEs to develop and operate digital platforms, which we call digital platform attention (DPA). Building on the attention-based view, this study explores the impacts ...

摘要：This study addresses the growing calls among international business and international entrepreneurship scholars for greater research attention to the effect of leaders' characteristics on their firms' risky internationalization choices. Focusing on the fundamental leader characteristic identified in the international entrepreneurship literature, i.e., risk propensity, we develop and test an original framework for analysis, which suggests that CEOs with greater risk propensity will tend to stee...

摘要：The growing platform economy has revived the debate on the applicability of internalization theory in contemporary contexts. In moving this debate forward, we draw on insights from hybrids research and property rights theory to complement the internalization school. Our core contribution lies in a reconceptualization of platforms as a hybrid organizational form enabling the exchange of property rights between platform owners and complementors. Using social platforms as an example, we propose t...

摘要：The literature on marketing, operations management, and strategy has investigated the impacts of a firm's supplier network structure and complexity on its financial, environmental, and innovation performance. However, our understanding of how the global supply chain complexities of a multinational enterprise (MNE) affect its international business performance (IBP) is limited. We draw on both the business network theory and information search literature to propose that the various complexity d...
