Abstract Research on African organizations has focused on the influence of environmental factors in organizational effectiveness. However, increasing concerns about challenges in Africa and how they negatively affect organizational outcomes have necessitated leveraging the “positive turn” of organizational scholarship to advance a perspective of how industrial policies can permit Africa-originated multinational enterprises (A-MNEs) to flourish. We propose a multilevel model in which the industrial policy environment comprised of agency and policy development positively impacts A-MNE flourishing, a composite index of human, environmental, and economic flourishing. This relationship is mediated by industrial policies – labor, trade, infrastructure, and resources – and moderated by policy fit, relevance, and timeliness. Overall, we shift the old paradigm of organizational outcomes represented by organizational effectiveness to a new paradigm represented by organizational flourishing. This new paradigm seems more appropriate for Africa, which is bedeviled by unusual challenges that limit effectiveness. We discuss empirical testing of the model and implications for managers.

对非洲组织的研究主要集中在环境因素对组织有效性的影响上。然而，越来越多的人关注非洲的挑战，以及它们如何对组织成果产生负面影响，因此有必要利用组织学术的“积极转变”来推进产业政策如何使非洲起源的跨国企业(a- mnes)蓬勃发展的观点。我们提出了一个多层次的模型，在该模型中，由机构和政策发展组成的产业政策环境积极影响跨国公司繁荣，这是一个综合指数，包括人类、环境和经济繁荣。这种关系受产业政策——劳动力、贸易、基础设施和资源——的调节，并受政策的适宜性、相关性和及时性的调节。总的来说，我们将以组织有效性为代表的组织成果的旧范式转变为以组织繁荣为代表的新范式。这种新模式似乎更适合非洲，因为非洲正受到各种限制有效性的不寻常挑战的困扰。我们讨论了模型的实证检验和对管理者的启示。

Supply chain myths in the resilience and deglobalization narrative: consequences for policy 弹性和去全球化叙事中的供应链神话:政策后果

Abstract The economic disruptions experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine have generated a narrative of resilience and deglobalization that brings the old world order into question. Heightened public attention on perceived supply chain failures has exerted pressure on governments to intervene in firm-level operations to assure supply of essential or strategic goods. This paper argues that the narrative is founded on false premises. In particular, three supply chain myths have emerged in public and academic discourse: (i) lean management has gone too far and exacerbated disruptions in global supply chains; (ii) efficient supply chains are less resilient; and (iii) foreign supply makes supply chains less resilient. We argue that these beliefs are not adequately supported by evidence. They can displace analysis to negatively impact policy and actually diminish resilience. Drawing upon IB and supply chain management research, we investigate the root causes of perceived market failures. Recommendations are for an evidence-based debate on current events and policies.

COVID-19大流行和俄罗斯入侵乌克兰期间经历的经济中断产生了一种韧性和去全球化的叙事，这使旧世界秩序受到质疑。公众对供应链失灵的高度关注给政府施加了压力，要求它们干预企业层面的运营，以确保必要或战略性商品的供应。本文认为这种叙述建立在错误的前提之上。特别是，公共和学术话语中出现了三个供应链神话:(i)精益管理已经走得太远，加剧了全球供应链的中断;(ii)高效的供应链弹性较弱;(三)外国供应降低了供应链的弹性。我们认为这些信念没有充分的证据支持。它们会取代分析，对政策产生负面影响，实际上会削弱韧性。借鉴IB和供应链管理研究，我们调查了感知市场失灵的根本原因。建议就当前事件和政策进行循证辩论。
