摘要：Online marketplaces such as Amazon.com represent a new channel through which multinational enterprises (MNEs) can sell their products in foreign markets, either as third-party sellers or as suppliers to the platform owner. An MNE can have better control of the marketing mix when selling directly on Amazon.com as a third-party seller, but this task entails two challenges. First is the liability of foreignness, and second is the disadvantage of competing with other products that are directly sol...

摘要：Global employee mobility is a very important concern for multinational enterprises (MNEs), as such individuals are critical strategic human capital resources for MNEs. Ensuring that expatriates (one type of globally mobile employees) maintain high organizational commitment and assignment completion intentions (attachment to international posting) is a critical consideration for MNEs' human resources management. However, we have a very limited understanding of how the configurations of structur...

摘要：All globally mobile employees (GMEs) share a common propensity to experience loneliness when they relocate to a new country where they have yet to establish social connections. To better understand how GMEs combat this feeling, we offer a conceptual process model grounded in conservation of resources (COR) theory to describe how they achieve social integration. The process begins with an assessment of GMEs' desired versus perceived social relations, with most perceiving a relational deficiency...

摘要：How do host country stakeholders evaluate foreign MNEs' local impact? Although MNEs' desire for a reputation for positive societal impact is well-established in the literature, much less is known about how to actually obtain one-especially in less developed frontier markets. In this inductive, qualitative study across seven countries in sub-Saharan Africa, we examine why host country stakeholders deem some foreign MNEs to have a better reputation for societal impact than others and how firms' ...

摘要：Global social media (GSM) is reshaping cultural industries by enabling digital content creators to share their content with global audiences. The resulting surge in content heralds a new era of experience-based consumption, where multicultural audiences continually seek novel experiences and rapidly shift to content that aligns with their evolving interests. The dynamic landscape of GSM indicates a substantial gap in digital internationalization research that largely focuses on overcoming the ...

摘要：A growing body of literature highlights that large-scale investments in sensitive contexts can undermine both firm financial performance and peace-positive development. We investigate whether and under what conditions foreign direct investment (FDI) proximate to Indigenous land claims increases or decreases conflict. Drawing on social movement theory's identification of powerful frames and political opportunity structures as drivers of mobilization, we predict that FDI proximate to Indigenous ...

摘要：Dynamic capabilities refer to an organization's ability to integrate, build, and reconfigure internal and external competencies to address a rapidly developing environment. In his highly influential 2014 JIBS paper, David Teece provides a holistic explanation of how firms can: achieve sustained competitive advantage, adjust and preserve superior performance, and adapt to changing environments. The article, along with Teece's related contributions, is remarkable in that it has led us to rethink...

摘要：While general foreign language proficiency is shown to provide important power and career-related advantages to employees in organizations, surprisingly little is known about how and why context-specific language capabilities (e.g., accents) in the form of linguistic capital, influence skilled migrants' (SMs') access and accumulation of social and economic capital in multinational corporations (MNCs). In this paper, we apply the theory of practice (Bourdieu in Outline of a Theory of Practice, ...

摘要：Drawing on a sociological approach, this paper examines how the subsidiaries of multinational companies (MNCs) translate equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) ideas from their headquarters (HQs). International business (IB) studies emphasize the context-sensitive and socially constructed nature of EDI. Through a single case study of an Italian subsidiary translating EDI ideas from its U.S. HQs, we present a power-laden EDI translation process and broaden the extant research by revealing the...
