• De-globalization: Theories, predictions, and opportunities for international business research AI翻译
  作者：Witt, Michael A.
  作者单位：INSEAD Business School
  摘要：De-globalization, now a distinct possibility, would induce a significant qualitative shift in strategies, structures, and behaviors observable in international business (IB). Coming to terms with this qualitative shift would require IB research to develop a much deeper integration of politics, the key driver of de-globalization. To support such integration, this paper introduces two relevant theories of (de-)globalization from political science, liberalism and realism. Both predict de-globaliz...

  摘要：International agreements and institutions affect innovation in developing countries. We analyze the impact of advanced country multinational enterprises (AMNEs) and supranational organizations on the regulatory adoption of global intellectual property protection standards. In particular, we investigate 60 developing countries that signed the Trade-relate Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) agreement of the World Trade Organization in 1994. Our empirical findings show that a greater...
• On the future of international joint venture research AI翻译

  摘要：International joint ventures (IJVs) are an important type of international strategic alliance (ISA) and have been studied by scholars for decades, resulting in a plethora of empirical studies, publications, and reviews, yet an inadequate accumulation of knowledge exists, as a closer look reveals. Much more than providing a summary and critical assessment of past contributions, this paper develops an expansive research agenda based upon a deep understanding of past research and comprehensive fr...
• Psychic distance and performance of MNCs during marketing crises AI翻译
  作者：Dinner, Isaac M.; Kushwaha, Tarun; Steenkamp, Jan-Benedict E. M.
  摘要：When multinational corporations face foreign marketing crises, the psychic distance between the home and host country represents a distinct challenge. This paper examines the curvilinear relationship between psychic distance and firm performance during marketing crises, and the moderating role of marketing capabilities. We test our hypotheses using an event study on a panel dataset of 217 firms based in 19 countries facing crises in 41 host countries. The results show that (1) marketing crises...
• Adapting and sustaining operations in weak institutional environments: A business ecosystem assessment of a Chinese MNE in Central Africa AI翻译

  摘要：Multinational enterprises (MNEs) sometimes pursue opportunities in largely uncharted, distinctive institutional environments. How do these firms sustain operations in such settings? We explore how MNEs tailor and maintain operations in institutionally weak, precarious, and challenging host-country environments, such as those devastated by conflicts. We draw on the business ecosystem framework and analyze a qualitative longitudinal case study of a Chinese state-owned MNE that entered and develo...
• Decision-making in international business AI翻译
  作者：Buckley, Peter; Casson, Mark
  作者单位：University of Leeds; University of Reading; University of Reading
  摘要：This paper builds on preceding papers. It distinguishes three domains of international business theory: the boundaries of the multinational enterprise, the external environment of the enterprise and its internal structure. The central concern of internalisation theory is the boundaries of the firm. Any general theory of international business must also analyse the external environment and internal structure. Competition dominates the external environment while co-operation dominates internal s...
• Bringing corporate governance into internalization theory: State ownership and foreign entry strategies AI翻译
  作者：Grogaard, Birgitte; Rygh, Asmund; Benito, Gabriel R. G.
  作者单位：BI Norwegian Business School; University of Manchester; Alliance Manchester Business School
  摘要：We use internalization theory to analyze the establishment and entry mode decisions of state-owned (SOE) and privately owned (POE) enterprises. We enrich internalization theory by building on insights from economic theory of corporate governance and taking into account particular characteristics of SOEs such as non-economic motivations, long-term orientation, and different risk preferences. We examine foreign entries over a 10-year period in the Canadian oil and gas industry. This single-count...
• Adopting knowledge from reverse innovations? Transnational patents and signaling from an emerging economy AI翻译
  作者：Huang, Kenneth G.; Li, Jiatao

  摘要：Is there knowledge adoption of innovations from emerging economies? We theorize that, to help overcome information asymmetry across countries, granting patents to technology in the emerging economy of China can serve as a signal of technology potential and market opportunity to enhance technological knowledge adoption in a developed economy such as the United States. The effect may be greater in a complex technology sector with high information asymmetry than in a discrete technology sector, a...
• Beyond country image favorability: How brand positioning via country personality stereotypes enhances brand evaluations AI翻译
  作者：Magnusson, Peter; Westjohn, Stanford A.; Sirianni, Nancy J.
  作者单位：University of Alabama System; University of Alabama Tuscaloosa
  摘要：Across four lab experiments and a field study, we find that brands are evaluated more favorably when the brand is positioned in a manner that is congruent with the brand's home country personality stereotype than when brand positioning is incongruent. Results demonstrate that cultural authenticity mediates this effect. We also uncover a moderating effect whereby brands are viewed more favorably when brand positioning and country personality stereotypes are incongruent, rather than congruent, u...
• Host country corruption and the organization of HQ-subsidiary relationships AI翻译
  作者：Rabbiosi, Larissa; Santangelo, Grazia D.
  作者单位：Copenhagen Business School; University of Catania
  摘要：Multinational enterprises (MNEs) operating in more corrupt host (than home) countries face actual costs related to processing information for decision-making, and lack of local legitimacy, and potential reputation and legal costs in case of corruption scandals. Drawing on the organizational perspective of corruption, we argue that greater subsidiary autonomy helps minimize these costs. However, headquarter (HQ)-subsidiary communication weakens the autonomy-based advantages for minimizing legit...
