• Internationalization through exaptation: The role of domestic geographical dispersion in the internationalization process AI翻译
  作者：Santangelo, Grazia D.; Stucchi, Tamara
  作者单位：University of Catania
  摘要：We introduce the notion of exaptation to internationalization theory, a process in which a capability is re-used for a purpose and in a context different than its historical purpose and context. Specifically, we examine which domestic capabilities may be redeployed when organizations engage in cross-border M&As for the first time. We suggest that organizations exapt (re-use) coordination and control capabilities, initially developed to manage domestic geographical dispersion, to acquire and in...
• Global connectedness and local innovation in industrial clusters AI翻译

  摘要：In today's knowledge economy, clusters are a key driver of a country's competitiveness. Yet a cluster's technological base is now more than ever influenced by constituent firms' actions to tap into distant knowledge sources. Drawing on a social network perspective, and distinguishing between horizontal versus vertical organization-based linkages, we explore the effects of a cluster's connectedness to foreign locations on its innovation performance. We show that improvements in horizontal and v...

• International entrepreneurship: The pursuit of entrepreneurial opportunities across national borders AI翻译
  作者：Reuber, A. Rebecca; Knight, Gary A.; Liesch, Peter W.; Zhou, Lianxi
  作者单位：University of Toronto; Willamette University; University of Queensland; Brock University
  摘要：In this editorial for the Special Issue on International Entrepreneurship, we interrelate key concepts about the pursuit of opportunities from the entrepreneurship and international business literatures. In doing so, we consider the assessment of opportunities as an individual-level cognitive activity, the construction of opportunity as a firm-level innovative activity and the shaping of opportunity as an institutional-level structuring activity. We then extend the discussion to explore the no...
• Silicon envy: How global innovation clusters hurt or stimulate each other across developed and emerging markets AI翻译
  作者：Harmancioglu, Nukhet; Tellis, Gerard J.
  作者单位：Koc University; University of Southern California
  摘要：The authors examine intercluster dynamics among rival global clusters on monthly counts of patents, startups, and new product commercializations between 1999 and 2014 while controlling for numerous exogenous variables. Results show that rival innovation clusters facilitate rather than hinder each other's growth due to resources complementarities. Reverse fertilization occurs from emerging to developed clusters, contrary to the received wisdom. This study is the first to show intercluster dynam...
• Conceptualizing and measuring distance in international business research: Recurring questions and best practice guidelines AI翻译
  作者：Beugelsdijk, Sjoerd; Ambos, Bjoern; Nell, Phillip C.
  作者单位：University of Groningen; University of St Gallen; University of St Gallen
  摘要：Distance is a central concept in international business research, yet there is debate about the construct as well as its operationalization. In this editorial, we address three of the most important recurring questions posed by authors, editors, and reviewers by examining the theory, methods, and data of distance research. We discuss (1) how to theorize on distance, and (2) what method and (3) what data to use when constructing a distance index. We develop practical recommendations grounded in...
• Traversing cultural boundaries in IB: The complex relationships between explicit country and implicit cultural group boundaries at multiple levels AI翻译
  作者：Peterson, Mark F.; Sondergaard, Mikael; Kara, Aycan
  作者单位：Maastricht University; Aarhus University; Aarhus University; Indiana University System; Indiana University Southeast
  摘要：International business (IB) scholars continue to struggle to theorize the relationship between country and cultural group boundaries. To progress, we first consider functional, institutional, and critical event explanations for cultural characteristics and boundaries. Second, we contrast theories of explicit global structure based on countries with theories based on implicit cultural groups. Third, we consider the implications of explicit country-based and implicit culture group-based theorizi...

  摘要：We study the impact of country-level accounting conservatism on international IPO underpricing. Examining 13,285 IPOs from 36 countries, we find that IPOs are underpriced less in countries in which existing public firms practice more accounting conservatism. The link between conservatism and underpricing is robust to alternative measures of conservatism, country mean regressions, sample country exclusions, and endogenous treatment models. Consistent with the hypothesis that conservatism reduce...
• When is traditionalism an asset and when is it a liability for team innovation? A two-study empirical examination AI翻译
  作者：Huang, Laura; Gibson, Cristina B.; Kirkman, Bradley L.; Shapiro, Debra L.
  作者单位：University of Pennsylvania; University of Western Australia; North Carolina State University; University System of Maryland; University of Maryland College Park
  摘要：Team innovation requires idea generating and idea implementing. In two studies, we examine how these team activities are affected by the extent to which members value traditionalism - that is, placing importance on preserving old ways of doing things over breaking precedent and forging new approaches. We proposed that higher average levels of team traditionalism would be negatively associated with idea generating but positively associated with idea implementing. Conversely, we proposed the opp...

  摘要：We introduce the topic of this Special Issue on the Role of Financial and Legal Institutions in International Governance, with a particular emphasis on a notion of international mobility of corporate governance. Our discussion places the Special Issue at the intersection of law, finance, and international business, with a focus on the contexts of foreign investors and directors. Country-level legal and regulatory institutions facilitate foreign ownership, foreign directors, raising external fi...
