• Overcoming the dual liability of foreignness and privateness in international corporate citizenship partnerships AI翻译
  作者：Bhanji, Zahra; Oxley, Joanne E.

  摘要：Responding to increased demands from stakeholder groups, many companies have instituted corporate citizenship programs in recent years, leveraging their specialized resources to create public goods and services at home and abroad. Significant suspicion nonetheless remains about the motives and impact of corporations acting in domains traditionally served by government and third-sector organizations. We argue that such ambivalence undermines the perceived legitimacy of private investments in pu...
• National context and individual employees' trust of the out-group: The role of societal trust AI翻译
  作者：Muethel, Miriam; Bond, Michael Harris

  摘要：Out-group trust is a crucial driver of international business performance. However, employees from different countries vary in their levels of out-group trust. The aim of this study is therefore to capture national forces driving out-group trust. Based on Kramer's theorizing on the multiple bases of trust, we argue that, at the societal level, dispositional, categorization-based and rule-based trust influence employees' out-group trust. In particular, we argue for dispositional and rule-based ...
• Global cities and multinational enterprise location strategy AI翻译
  作者：Goerzen, Anthony; Asmussen, Christian Geisler; Nielsen, Bo Bernhard

  摘要：We combine the concept of location derived by economic geographers with theories of the multinational enterprise (MNE) and the liability of foreignness developed by international business scholars, to examine the factors that propel MNEs toward, or away from, global cities. We argue that three distinctive characteristics of global cities - global interconnectedness, cosmopolitanism, and abundance of advanced producer services - help MNEs overcome the costs of doing business abroad, and we iden...
• Competing globally, allying locally: Alliances between global rivals and host-country factors AI翻译

  摘要：An emerging literature highlights the relationship between competitive intensity and the likelihood that two rival firms will form an alliance. Placing this argument in an international context, we first suggest that the global competitive intensity between two rival multinationals positively affects the likelihood that they will ally in any host country. Additionally, we highlight how a number of host-country contextual factors moderate the relationship between global competitive intensity an...
• When do foreign subsidiaries outperform local firms? AI翻译
  作者：Chang, Sea-Jin; Chung, Jaiho; Moon, Jon Jungbien

  摘要：This study explores when foreign subsidiaries outperform comparable local firms by evaluating the performance of local firms acquired by multinationals vs continuing local firms. This comparison allows us to single out foreign ownership effects. We employ the propensity score matching method and difference-indifferences approach in order to control for the endogeneity problem inherent in multinational firms' acquisition decisions. We find strong evidence that foreign-acquired local firms outpe...
• MNC subsidiary channel relationships as extended links: Implications of global strategies AI翻译

  摘要：Foreign subsidiaries of multinational corporations (MNCs) rely on external partners, such as channel partners, to achieve global objectives. We conceptualize the subsidiary's channel partner as an extended link of the MNC's internal network: thus, the subsidiary's adaptation and execution of the MNC's global strategies should influence the subsidiary's channel relationship and performance. Building on the strategy environment alignment framework, we study the influence of MNC global strategies...
• Place, space, and geographical exposure: Foreign subsidiary survival in conflict zones AI翻译

  摘要：This study focuses on the role of geography in foreign subsidiary survival in host countries afflicted by political conflict. We argue that survival is a function of exposure to conflicts, and depends on the characteristics of place (the conflict zone) and space (geographic concentration and dispersion of other home-country firms). The roles of place and space are explored using street-level analysis of geographic information systems data for 670 Japanese multinational enterprises (MNE) subsid...
• On the internationalization of corporate boards: The case of Nordic firms AI翻译
  作者：Oxelheim, Lars; Gregoric, Aleksandra; Randoy, Trond; Thomsen, Steen
  作者单位：Lund University; Research Institute of Industrial Economics (IFN); University of Agder; Copenhagen Business School
  摘要：This study investigates the internationalization of corporate boards, using a sample of 346 non-financial listed Nordic firms during 2001-2008. Given a high level of international activity, these firms have surprisingly few foreign directors. The picture of international expertise changes considerably, however, if we also count the international experience of national directors. The percentage of foreign directors is related primarily to financial internationalization rather than foreign sales...
• Agglomeration, catch-up and the liability of foreignness in emerging economies AI翻译
  作者：Lamin, Anna; Livanis, Grigorios
  作者单位：Northeastern University
  摘要：Given the importance of location choice for accessing knowledge, we examine the location choices of domestic and foreign firms in an emerging economy after market liberalization. In the literature, co-locating with other firms has been associated with agglomerative economies and knowledge spillovers that lower the liability of foreignness for foreign firms. However, as domestic firms are trying to upgrade their capabilities, or catch up, they may also prefer locations with other firms, as thes...
• Firm rivalry, knowledge accumulation, and MNE location choices AI翻译

  摘要：The international business (IB) literature has mostly emphasized the impact of location and firm characteristics on location choices. However, industries with a significant presence of multinational enterprises (MNEs) are oligopolistic in nature, which suggests that rivalry among firms plays an important role in firms' dynamic decision-making processes. This paper explores how rivalry and differential knowledge accumulation among competitors affect MNEs' geographic expansion across time and ma...
