Purpose - This study examines the pivotal role of local expert reviewers in the financial success of imported foreign films (Hollywood movies) within the Chinese market. It integrates signaling theory and gatekeeping scholarship to examine how these intermediaries reduce mainstream uncertainty. We hypothesize local expert reviewers to better grasp spaces for resonance between imported films and local preferences compared to foreign critics. Moreover, we examine the moderating roles of films attributes such as production scale, prestigious awards, and local adaptation strategies. Design/Methodology/Approach - We test hypothesized relationships and contingencies via OLS regressions on box office performance spanning 500 top-grossing Hollywood studio imports in China from 2000 2017 with data from multiple sources. Findings - The OLS regressions reveal that local expert reviewers significantly influence cross-border film success, with the impact moderated by production budgets and awards, but potentially diminished by cultural adaptation. Research Implications - Our study unpacks market drivers and product-level contingencies around imported creative products amidst mainstream uncertainty. The findings contribute to international business literature and cultural business by showcasing the nuanced impact of local cultural intermediaries on the financial performance of foreign cultural products. This research underscores the importance of local expert opinions in navigating the complex landscape of global content distribution and consumption, offering valuable insights for content creators and marketers aiming to optimize the global reach of products.

Purpose - This study investigates the role of human resource investment in the tourist accommodation sector of Korea. Specifically, it aims to explore the impact of human resource investment, particularly through employee education and training, on both the short-term and long-term financial performance within the Korean lodging industry. Design/Methodology/Approach - Utilizing data f rom private firms for 2011-2020, the study examines how financial performance, including sales growth, is related to expenditures on education, training, and benefits as proxies for human resource investment. The research primarily employs a series of multivariate regression analyses. Findings - The findings reveal that human resource investment itself does not affect short-term financial performance, but complements and supports financial outcomes of capital expenditure (PPE investment). However, the sales-based performance attributable to human resource investment becomes apparent within two years, and the supporting effect on financial performance generated due to capital expenditure still holds. Additionally, these results are significant for large-sized firms, but not for those small. Research Implications - Overall, human resource i nvestment plays a critical role i n fi rm performance by serving as a key factor in managing company resources efficiently. This study highlights the need for the simultaneous periodic management of capital- and human resources. Furthermore, this study sheds light on the role of human resource investment in the lodging industry by providing empirical results based on financial accounting numbers, an aspect that has not previously been extensively considered.

Purpose - A society that cares about environmentally friendly products demands companies have a green competitive advantage through the application of the principles of Reuse, Reduce, and Recycle. The purpose of this research is to examine and analyze the influence of green organizational culture (GOC) on green innovation performance (GIP) and green competitive advantage (GCA). Design/Methodology/Approach - The study collected data from 314 manufacturing companies that are members of Proper (Environmental Performance Rating Program) on Java Island. Data collection was conducted through online and offline surveys using questionnaires that measured each research variable. Structural equation modelling with SEM PLS software were applied to analyze the data. Findings - The findings of this paper indicate that green organizational culture has a positive influence on green innovation performance. GOC also positively influences GCA, and GIP fully mediates the relationship between GOC and GCA. Research Implications - This research contributes to existing literature on GOC, GIP, and GCA, taking into account environmental issues, which have been empirically understudied, especially in manufacturing companies that are members of Proper. Furthermore, this research also explores green innovation performance as a mediator, which has been relatively unexplored in previous studies. However, this research has several limitations, including the dominance of blue-rated Proper participant companies in the sample, as most questionnaires were distributed during the blue certificate awarding moments. Additionally, the sample size per province was uneven, with the majority of participant companies located in the province of West Java.

Purpose - Extant research indicates that CVC investments create value for venture firms and generally enhance the likelihood of a successful venture exit. In particular, despite the globalization of CVC investments, the impact on venture firm exit performance has been largely overlooked. Thus, this study explores the impact of cross-border CVC investments on the likelihood of a venture firm’s IPO. We argue that the foreignness of CVCs increases the likelihood of IPO, but this positive relationship is weakened when CVC units have a tight structure. Design/Methodology/Approach - The hypotheses are tested with 1,874 high-technology venture firms in the U.S. that received CVC investments between 1994 and 2009. A two-stage analysis was employed to address potential selection bias. In the first stage, we employed a probit model to predict the probability of receiving cross-border CVC investment. In the second stage, we conducted a probit regression analysis on the likelihood of IPO, incorporating the inverse Mills ratio to address selection bias. Findings - We found that the foreignness of CVCs increases the likelihood of a venture firm’s IPO. However, this positive impact is weakened when CVCs have a tight governance structure. Research Implications - This study highlights the benefits of cross-border CVC investments and enriches resource dependence theory by reconciling it with institutional theory, depicting the importance of both reducing resource constraints to create value for venture firms and the institutional logic pursued by CVCs. This study suggests that entrepreneurs should be careful with CVC units that prioritize strategic objectives.

Purpose - This paper investigates the economic impact of the European Union Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (EU-CBAM) on Korea’s economy. Design/Methodology/Approach - The study employs the input-output model and Global Trade Analysis Project-Energy (GTAP-E) model by McDougal and Golub (2007), along with the GTAP-E version 10.1 Data Base developed by Aguiar et al. (2019). The input-output model estimates the carbon emissions of Korea’s exports to the EU27, evaluating potential carbon costs and a carbon tax (measured in US dollars per ton of emissions). Utilizing the static GTAP-E model, three policy scenarios are implemented, focusing on direct carbon emissions (Scope 1), emissions from electricity usage (Scope 2), and indirect emissions (Scope 3). Findings - Simulation outcomes reveal significant contractions in CBAM-related sectors of the Korean economy, with a decline in iron and steel production (US$ 68.00 million) and electronic industries (US$ 39.16 million). Korea’s export reductions to the EU27 in CBAM-affected sectors (iron and steel, cement, aluminum) indicate a subtle impact extending to the energy, energy-intensive, and services sectors. Research Implications - This paper provides valuable insights to policymakers and entrepreneurs in navigating the challenges and opportunities arising from the interlinkage of environmental policies and global trade dynamism. The analysis contributes to discerning perspectives essential for informed decision-making amid the complex interplay of regulatory frameworks and international trade dynamics.

Purpose - The paper analyzed the factors affecting the digital readiness and adoption of digital marketing by vegetable farmers in CALABARZON, Philippines. It assessed knowledge on different digital marketing technologies, evaluated access to and use of digital devices and marketing platform, and determined the cost of digital marketing adoption. Design/Methodology/Approach - A total of 773 vegetable farmers were selected using disproportionate stratified random sampling, and then personally interviewed. Adapting the methodologies of Horrigan (2016) and Roberts and Hernandez (2019), farmers were categorized based on digital readiness. Correlation and Probit analyses were performed to determine the factors affecting digital readiness and adoption of digital marketing. Findings - Results revealed the following: unprepared (0.33%), traditional (14.49%), reluctant (25.00%), cautious clickers (53.33%), and digitally ready (6.85%). Only 14 percent were digital platform users; the most common gadget used was mobile phone, and while home Wi-Fi and cellular data were the most popular connections, they were still unstable. Adoption of digital marketing lessened vegetable marketing cost. Those single with a higher level of education, household income, and larger household had higher digital readiness level. Digital marketing adoption was positively affected by level of education and digital readiness, but the cost of adoption had negative effect. Research Implications - The results suggest the implementation of location- and readiness level-specific training and digital literacy programs; improvement of Internet infrastructure in major producing areas; and the provision of institutional support to prevent scam and fraudulent transactions to enhance the digital readiness and adoption of digital marketing by farmers.

Purpose - In this study, stock data of shipping companies were selected from three countries, USA, China, and Korea, to investigate the impact of fluctuations in different shipping freight indices on shipping company stock prices. Design/Methodology/Approach - Johansen cointegration tests were used in this study to look at the longrun equilibrium relationships between shipping freight indices and the stock prices of shipping companies. Next, the short-term adjustment effect of different shipping freight indices on shipping company stock prices was analyzed by establishing a VECM model. Finally, the responses of shipping company stock prices to shocks from different shipping freight indices were analyzed by forecast error variance and impulse response functions based on the VECM model. Findings - The cointegration test demonstrated a long-run equilibrium relationship between each shipping company’s stock price and the three shipping freight indices (BDI, BDTI, SCFI). The results of IRF and forecast error variance decomposition showed that the response of shipping company stock prices to shocks from the SCFI is weak compared to the shocks from the BDI and BDTI. The BDI has the same explanatory power for the forecast error variance of HMM and MATX, and the shocks from the BDTI contributed the most to explaining the forecast variance error of COSCO_SH. Research Implications - The analysis findings of this research are meant to give investors within the market certain reference information to reduce investment risks.

Next, the short-term adjustment effect of different shipping freight indices on shipping company stock prices was analyzed by establishing a VECM model. Finally, the responses of shipping company stock prices to shocks from different shipping freight indices were analyzed by forecast error variance and impulse response functions based on the VECM model. \u0000Findings - The cointegration test demonstrated a long-run equilibrium relationship between each shipping company’s stock price and the three shipping freight indices (BDI, BDTI, SCFI). The results of IRF and forecast error variance decomposition showed that the response of shipping company stock prices to shocks from the SCFI is weak compared to the shocks from the BDI and BDTI.

Purpose – The share price of any financial institution fluctuates due to various hidden and visible factors. Predicting share price behavior in the economy and financial marketing theory is crucial but complex. The Industrial Bank of Korea’s (IBK) share prices are also affected by hidden factors, including Korean international trade flow. The study aims to forecast hidden impacts on IBK share prices resulting from the international trade flow in Korea. Design/Methodology/Approach – Two Hidden Markov Model (HMM) approaches are employed, one based on exports, and the other on imports, to identify trends and fluctuations in the hidden states influencing visible states. Findings – The findings reveal a significant positive correlation between IBK share prices and both exports and imports. Notably, increasing exports indicate a 50% probability of IBK share prices rising, while falling imports indicate a 56% chance of IBK share prices increasing. These results demonstrate how changes in exports and imports impact IBK’s share price in the Korean stock market. Research Implications – The research implications are valuable for short- and long-term investors in IBK shares and the Korean stock exchange. This research can help decision-makers identify the relationships between and within the visible/observed states that influence the stock price of IBK.
