摘要：This article examines (outer) Space as a new frontier for international business (IB) and highlights the unique challenges and opportunities it presents. Unlike terrestrial business environments, Space is characterized by extreme physical conditions, ambiguous property rights, and an institutional vacuum, which disrupt conventional IB theories. The study identifies three key challenges-congestion, contention, and competition-arising from the commercialization of Space and the increasing presen...

摘要：Governments worldwide use executive compensation to bond CEOs of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) to political agendas at the expense of private owners. We extend principal-principal (PP) agency theory to delve into the CEO cooption behavior of governments. First, building on the institution-based view, we theorize that political institutions shape the ability of governments to trigger PP conflicts by bonding SOE CEOs through executive compensation. Second, leveraging the comparative state capit...

摘要：Host-country corruption discourages multinational firms' foreign investments. Nonetheless, multinationals may still want to invest to benefit from local business opportunities. To deal with the challenges of operating in a corrupt host country, they can use experience gained in other corrupt countries. We distinguish between clean hands and dirty hands learning about corruption - that is to say, learning how to avoid bribing, or learning how to pay bribes and avoid traceability. We disentangle...

摘要：Cultural industries help build creativity-based economies and stimulate worldwide cultural interchanges, but this process faces constraints. One such constraint is unequal treatment of genders. When female artists export cultural products, they face a liability of gender, defined as gender specific difficulties in overcoming the liability of foreignness. Both audiences' gendered expectations and artists' lack of information about foreign markets will lower women artists' probability of success...

摘要：A substantial body of research highlights how stringent regulations disrupt innovators' incentives and increase transaction costs, yet their information processing implication remains understudied. Building on information processing theory, we study how the interplay between formal and informal institutions shapes inventors' information processing in developing artificial intelligence (AI) innovation. We examine the effect of stringent privacy regulations on AI innovation by exploiting the Eur...

摘要：As a disciplinary field, international business (IB) is characterized by language diversity. Too often, however, international business (IB) research regards language diversity as a challenge to be overcome rather than an opportunity to generate new scientific knowledge. Consequently, previous research has primarily focused on the pragmatic, logistical, and methodological hurdles of translating multilingual datasets. In contrast, this conceptual paper takes language diversity as an opportunity...

摘要：Although business model innovation (BMI) is generally beneficial for firms, few studies have investigated whether and under what conditions BMI benefits materialize in foreign markets. This research applies two complementary theoretical perspectives to understand the role of BMI in helping firms achieve enhanced performance in export markets. We argue that the effectiveness of the two types of BMI (novelty- and efficiency-centered) is influenced by factors such as relational embeddedness, inte...

摘要：While prior research has emphasized the economic threats posed by political risk, it is unclear how geopolitical risk (GPR), a supranational-level risk, affects global supply chain decisions. Drawing on the political economy perspective, we posit that GPR presents both opportunities and threats for multinational corporations (MNCs), depending on the political affinity between MNCs' home and host countries. We also identify the risk-mitigation roles of MNCs' political lobbying and market divers...
