Holding back the damage: strong political institutions and the effect of populism on business investment J. Int. Bus. Stud. (IF 8.6) Pub Date : 2025-02-16 Margherita Corina, Christopher Hartwell, Alfonso Carballo
Populism is a political phenomenon that attempts to harness existing institutions for populist ends, often leading to negative consequences for businesses. However, can national institutions resist this pressure and mitigate the damage to firms? This paper investigates how populist electoral success influences corporate investment, unraveling the intricate connection between a country’s political institutions

Taking a stand while abroad? Towards a theory of MNCs’ sociopolitical activism in host countries J. Int. Bus. Stud. (IF 8.6) Pub Date : 2025-02-07 Ishva Minefee, Lori Qingyuan Yue
With multinational corporations (MNCs) increasingly taking public stances on sociopolitical issues such as immigration, LGBTQ+ rights, and racism, it is imperative that international business (IB) research keeps pace with normative societal debates. In this paper, we introduce the concept of corporate sociopolitical activism (SPA) to the IB literature and develop a theory on why MNCs consistently or

The multinational enterprise, capabilities, and digitalization: governance and growth with world disorder J. Int. Bus. Stud. (IF 8.6) Pub Date : 2025-01-24 David J. Teece
This essay revisits my 2014 JIBS article about the potential for integrating international business internalization theory with a strategic management capabilities perspective. It recaps the capabilities framework with an emphasis on the learning required of emerging market multinationals and illustrates this with the case of Hyundai Motor Company’s internationalization and growth. It also discusses

Liability of foreignness in immersive technologies: evidence from extended reality innovations J. Int. Bus. Stud. (IF 8.6) Pub Date : 2025-01-24 Hyoryung Nam, Yiling Li, P. K. Kannan, Jeonghye Choi
Emerging extended reality (XR) technologies, such as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), enable global businesses to deliver immersive experiences to customers beyond geographical borders. Despite the opportunities, leveraging XR innovations in foreign markets can present significant challenges. This study investigates whether and under what conditions global businesses experience liability

Leveraging the capabilities of multinational firms to address climate change: a finance perspective J. Int. Bus. Stud. (IF 8.6) Pub Date : 2025-01-10 Franklin Allen, Adelina Barbalau, Erik Chavez, Federica Zeni
Climate change and the associated issue of curbing carbon emissions have risen on the agenda of policymakers worldwide. However, global coordination on matters such as harmonized regulation has been subject to significant political frictions, and the large intergovernmental transfers needed to finance the transition of developing economies have proven hard to raise. Recently, there have been considerable

Multinational enterprises and climate action: a low-income perspective with Africa focus J. Int. Bus. Stud. (IF 8.6) Pub Date : 2025-01-10 Lemma W. Senbet
Multinational enterprises (MNEs) can be agents of positive climate action by deploying their vast resources, technology, capital, and collaborative partnerships. They can also promote cross-border mobility of corporate governance and regulatory standards. Allen et al. (J Int Bus Stud, 2024) provide a systematic descriptive analysis to support such an MNE role. In my commentary, I provide a perspective

When does historical context matter? Explaining the emergence of competence-creating subsidiaries J. Int. Bus. Stud. (IF 8.6) Pub Date : 2025-01-10 Andrew C. Godley, Shane Hamilton, Marrisa Joseph
Despite thorough attention to how context shapes subsidiary behavior, very little IB research has explored the dynamic impact of disruptive changes in historical context on organizational innovations in MNEs. Existing IB theory has robustly theorized the growth of competence-creating subsidiaries from the 1980s to the 2000s. However, our historical research demonstrates that this body of existing theory

Corruption experience and foreign investments: clean hands or dirty hands learning? J. Int. Bus. Stud. (IF 8.6) Pub Date : 2024-12-16 Negash Haile Dedho, René Belderbos, Alvaro Cuervo-Cazurra
Host-country corruption discourages multinational firms’ foreign investments. Nonetheless, multinationals may still want to invest to benefit from local business opportunities. To deal with the challenges of operating in a corrupt host country, they can use experience gained in other corrupt countries. We distinguish between “clean hands” and “dirty hands” learning about corruption – that is to say

The sustainability of MNE sustainability initiatives J. Int. Bus. Stud. (IF 8.6) Pub Date : 2024-12-09 Srilata Zaheer
Allen et al. (J Int Bus Stud, 2024) present a compelling argument that MNEs can play a role in mitigating climate change by utilizing their vast resources, technological advancements, and global reach. They provide a broad set of suggestions of what MNEs can do to advance sustainability across borders but leave the critical question of why MNEs would engage in this effort less explored. In reflecting

Theories of firms and the emergence of multinational enterprises: the organizational and managerial implications of solving transactional problems versus creating exchange value J. Int. Bus. Stud. (IF 8.6) Pub Date : 2024-12-06 Jay B. Barney, Ilze Kivleniece, Anita M. McGahan
Teece (J Int Bus Stud 45(1):8–37, 2014) identifies two theories of the emergence of multinational enterprises (MNEs)—one that focuses on how MNEs solve transactional difficulties that can emerge in market exchanges and another that focuses on how MNEs facilitate economic value creation that is difficult to realize through market exchanges—and suggests that both theories are important in understanding

Cross-border political ties: foreign firms’ campaign contributions and the crowding out of domestic competitors J. Int. Bus. Stud. (IF 8.6) Pub Date : 2024-12-05 Meghana Ayyagari, April Knill, Kelsey Syvrud
A substantial body of literature has shown that political connections have benefited firms domestically, but their cross-border value for multinational enterprises (MNEs) remains understudied. This paper provides novel evidence on the strategic advantages MNEs gain through political ties in host countries and the consequences for domestic firms. Examining foreign companies’ contributions to US political

Regulatory actions and reputation spillovers: investor reactions to Foreign Corrupt Practices Act violations J. Int. Bus. Stud. (IF 8.6) Pub Date : 2024-12-04 Seung-Hyun Lee, Jisun Yu, Jinsil Kim
This study examines reputational penalty spillovers in the context of multinational enterprises’ (MNE) Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) violations. We focus on investor reactions to unaccused industry bystander MNEs upon two FCPA regulatory events: investigation and enforcement. Expanding on the notion of categorization, we theorize that unaccused bystander MNEs would experience reputation spillover

MNEs and financing climate change transitions: the challenge of collective action J. Int. Bus. Stud. (IF 8.6) Pub Date : 2024-11-28 Shaker A. Zahra
Allen et al. (2024a) present an insightful and comprehensive analysis of the role multinationals (MNEs) can play in tackling worldwide climate change challenges. Acknowledging that this role is complex and multifaceted, they pay special attention to the financing of climate change initiatives and the unique advantages MNEs have in this regard. I reflect on Allen et al.’s key arguments and proposals

Dynamic capabilities framework and its transformative contributions J. Int. Bus. Stud. (IF 8.6) Pub Date : 2024-11-22 S. Tamer Cavusgil, Seyda Z. Deligonul
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.

Prosocial motivation and lending to the poor: evidence from an international crowdfunding platform J. Int. Bus. Stud. (IF 8.6) Pub Date : 2024-11-22 Luqun Xie, Yi Ding, Jiatao Li, Haifeng Xu
Employing a prosocial perspective, this study examines how crowdfunders' prosocial motivation influences their lending decisions on international crowdfunding platforms, addressing the global challenge of poverty alleviation. We posit that prosocially motivated crowdfunders, concerned about economic inequality and others' well-being, are more likely to lend to poorer borrowers to minimize inequality

Beyond global mobility: how human capital shapes the MNE in the 21st century J. Int. Bus. Stud. (IF 8.6) Pub Date : 2024-11-18 Dana Minbaeva, Rajneesh Narula, Anupama Phene, Stacey Fitzsimmons
The global mobility of people has transformed how multinational enterprises (MNEs) manage and benefit from multiple locations. We examine the changing locational boundedness of human capital with globalization and how this has impacted the competitiveness of MNEs. The growing use of quasi-internalization through the active reliance on global value chains and outsourcing has altered the way MNEs spatially

How does colonial history matter for expatriate adjustment? The case of Brazilians in Portugal J. Int. Bus. Stud. (IF 8.6) Pub Date : 2024-11-18 Roberta Aguzzoli, Martyna Śliwa, Jorge Lengler, Chris Brewster, Denise Rossato Quatrin
The literature on expatriation typically assumes that cultural and institutional familiarity facilitates expatriate adjustment. This assumption underplays the role of the historical context, especially the influence of painful colonial pasts that often lie beneath such familiarity. In addition, seeking to capture expatriate adjustment as a single measure, such literature does not engage with the differences

Product market bonding and cross-listings: evidence from global competition law reforms J. Int. Bus. Stud. (IF 8.6) Pub Date : 2024-10-02 Albert Tsang, Kun Tracy Wang, Nathan Zhenghang Zhu
We propose and empirically test a product market motive for cross-listing, positing that intensified competition in domestic markets incentivizes firms to cross-list their securities as a strategic response to mitigate the adverse impact of heightened competition at home. Utilizing a hand-collected comprehensive cross-listing dataset covering 56 home countries and 45 cross-listing host countries, along

Foreign-origin managers and FDI location choice J. Int. Bus. Stud. (IF 8.6) Pub Date : 2024-09-17 Massimiliano Coda Zabetta, Ernest Miguelez, Francesco Lissoni, Sarah Hegarty
Building upon the upper echelons theory of organizations as applied to internationalization strategies, we investigate the impact of foreign-origin top management team (TMT) members on their companies’ location choice. We propose that a manager-from-target effect may exist, by which a manager’s knowledge of their country of origin increases the likelihood of choosing that country as a target. We expect

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are changing the way multinational enterprises (MNEs) engage with host governments. The SDGs offer MNEs a unique opportunity to build political influence by assisting governments in attaining a host country’s social needs. However, international business scholars have largely remained silent on how MNEs strategize to repurpose ‘doing good’ into

Conceptualizing international new ventures as the nexus of entrepreneurship and international business J. Int. Bus. Stud. (IF 8.6) Pub Date : 2024-08-22 Shaker A. Zahra, Giuseppe Criaco, Olga Petricevic, Niron Hashai
We propose a typology that captures the heterogeneity of international new ventures’ (INVs’) entrepreneurial behavior and their commitment to foreign markets. The typology identifies four types of INVs, highlighting the dynamic interplay between the degree of radicalness of their entrepreneurial behavior and the level of their foreign market commitment. By integrating theories from both international

Veto rights in international joint ventures J. Int. Bus. Stud. (IF 8.6) Pub Date : 2024-08-02 Jeffrey J. Reuer, Elko Klijn, Shivaram Devarakonda, René Olie
Notwithstanding their popularity, veto rights are inadequately understood features of international agreements, particularly interfirm exchanges such as international joint ventures (IJVs). As an interesting feature of an IJV’s governance design, they shape decision-making of the most powerful administrative mechanism of an IJV – the IJV board. IJVs’ boards play a crucial part in supporting adaptation

Competition has long been considered a central element of strategy for multinational enterprises in classical foreign direct investment theories. This review evaluates the large and diverse literature on competitive dynamics in international business since Knickerbocker’s (Oligopolistic reaction and the multi-national enterprise, MIT Press, Cambridge, 1973) seminal work on oligopolistic reaction.

Multinational corporations and their global suppliers are increasingly expected to employ sustainability practices throughout their supply chains. As such, the global scope of corporate sustainability – including the notion of ‘full-chain responsibility’ – is a concern for firms, governments, NGOs, and other stakeholders. We evaluate the state-of-the-art of sustainability research on multinational

Universal banking powers are permissions for a nation’s banks to provide financial services beyond “plain vanilla” banking activities. Some nations restrict banking activities to only services such as loans and deposits, while others permit commercial banks to also engage in investment banking, insurance underwriting, and/or real estate investment activities.

The international bond market is the largest component of the international capital markets.

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of foreign institutional shareholders (FISs) on the costs of international debt contracting. While the presence of FISs could lead to

A well-established body of international business research examines how the institutional environment influences corporate decisions. We add to this literature by investigating the unexplored link between family, a fundamental institution in human society, and corporate tax decisions. Applying theories on social norms and the evolution of moral boundaries, we argue that the strength of family ties
