  摘要：We study the internationalization of digital service multinational enterprises (SMNCs), focusing on how digitalization alters internalization theory's assumptions about the nature of firm-specific assets (FSAs) and the theory's predictions about governance choices in cross-border transactions. We invoke Simon's (Proc Am Philos Soc 106(6):467-482, 1962) near-decomposability concept to explain how digitalization enables two distinct types of FSAs - technology and human capital. Applying the idea...
• MNEs' location strategies and labor standards: The role of operating and reputational considerations across industries AI翻译

  摘要：We investigate the role of local labor standards on MNEs' location decisions across different sectors and sub-national regions within a developing country. We suggest that foreign investors adopt selective location strategies in connection with specific labor standards as a result of reputational and operating considerations. Foreign firms in more hazardous sectors prefer locations with higher occupational health and safety standards because they are more exposed to reputational risks. Those i...
• Explaining top management turnover in private corporations: The role of cross-country legal institutions and capital market forces AI翻译

  摘要：We investigate private firms' ability to identify and replace poorly performing managers across countries. We document three main findings. First, private firms are more likely to retain poorly performing managers in countries where legal institutions that protect minority investors are weak. Second, private firms are more likely to retain poorly performing managers than public firms only in countries where governance mechanisms inherent in public equity markets limit managerial entrenchment i...

• Enforcing higher labor standards within developing country value chains: Consequences for MNEs and informal actors in a dual economy AI翻译
  作者：Narula, Rajneesh
  作者单位：University of Reading
  摘要：The 2013 collapse of the Rana Plaza building in Dhaka, Bangladesh, led external stakeholders to insist on higher labor standards in apparel global value chains (GVCs). Stakeholders now expect MNEs to take 'full-chain' responsibility. However, the increased monitoring and enforcement costs of a large network of suppliers have been non-trivial. MNEs instead implement a 'cascading compliance' approach, coupled with a partial re-internalization. Elevated costs are further exacerbated in developing...
• Which boats are lifted by a foreign tide? Direct and indirect wage effects of foreign ownership AI翻译

  摘要：The attraction of foreign direct investment (FDI) is considered to be of particular importance for emerging economies because it represents a channel through which international convergence in standards of living may be achieved. One important effect of FDI is its impact on wages, both within the targeted firm (direct) and the local firms within the same geographic region and sector (indirect). In this paper, we investigate the question whether multinational enterprises (MNEs) raise or lower w...
• Can a firm find the balance between openness and secrecy? Towards a theory of an optimum level of disclosure AI翻译

  摘要：The purpose of this article is not merely to counter assertions about technology leakage/spillovers being innocuous or benevolent, but to go further and illuminate an under-researched question: How can companies seek the optimum balance between conscious disclosure and secrecy? The article works towards a theory of optimum disclosure, by identifying possible benefits and costs of disclosure or openness. In Paradigm 1, most companies find the net benefits of disclosure/openness to be negative. ...

  摘要：The last quarter century has witnessed substantial growth in applications of real options theory (ROT) to international business (IB) research. In this review, we explicate the core ROT concepts in the IB context and discuss the contributions of ROT-based research to three core IB issues: timing and scale of market entry or exit, entry mode and governance form, and the role of multinational networks. Based on our review, we propose a holistic ROT view of the multinational enterprise that synth...
• Does organizational formalization facilitate voice and helping organizational citizenship behaviors? It depends on (national) uncertainty norms AI翻译

  摘要：Prosocial work behaviors in a globalized environment do not operate in a cultural vacuum. We assess to what extent voice and helping organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs) vary across cultures, depending on employees' perceived level of organizational formalization and national uncertainty. We predict that in contexts of uncertainty, cognitive resources are engaged in coping with this uncertainty. Organizational formalization can provide structure that frees up cognitive resources to enga...
