Abstract This study investigates challenges and opportunities that regionally expanding emerging market banks face. We focus on four leading Middle Eastern banks’ internationalization trajectories and performances by employing a case study approach. We first examine the four banks’ choices of target markets, entry sequencing, and entry modes over time and then analyze their entry strategies and post-entry financial performances in one of their key markets, Turkey. We show that the success of regional expansion strategies depends on parent bank characteristics such as scale and capital strength, strategic decisions regarding entry mode and timing, and host market structure and competitiveness.

Abstract The steady flow of remittances due to financial integration has grabbed the attention of academicians and policy advisors. Despite the growing importance of remittances, the study on the relationship between remittances and financial development in Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa remains unexplored. Thus, this paper analyses the effect of remittances on financial development. It also investigates the long-run and short-run relationship between remittances and financial development using annual data of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa from 1990 to 2019. Three different financial development indicators are used: domestic credit to the private sector as a percentage of GDP, bank deposit as a percentage of GDP, liquid liabilities as a percentage of GDP. The study employs the fixed and random effect model, Johansen Cointegration tests, vector error correction model, and Wald tests for analysis. The results suggest a positive effect of remittances on bank deposits. It indicates that a 1% increase in remittances leads to a 4.5% increase in bank deposits. The study also reveals the long-run relationship between remittances and bank deposits and the absence of a short-run relationship between remittances and financial development. The main implications of the study can be predicted as remittances allow the accumulation of savings in the long run and provide the platform for the unbanked recipients to utilize certain financial products and services. The absence of a short-run relationship indicates that remittances are utilized mainly for consumption in the short run. However, it can be recommended that BRICS economies should make every effort to increase the remittance inflows through reduced transaction costs and tax benefits in remittance-led investment or banks to bank deposits with competitive deposit rates for the diaspora.

Abstract This paper estimates the trade creation and export diversion effects of different Australia’s free trade agreements (FTAs) using the panel data from 1996 to 2017. The heteroscedasticity robust Regression Error Specification Test confirms the relevance of Poisson Pseudo Maximum Likelihood estimator over Ordinary Least Square estimator. Results showed that the total trade creation effects of FTAs in wheat trade is higher than Intra block export diversion. The exhausted wheat exports potentiality from Australia to the countries like Indonesia, Iraq, Japan, Korea, and the Philippines has suggested seeking for additional potential markets based on demand in the future.

Abstract Digital Health (DH) is an emerging area of scholarly attention. DH represents the solid ground for interdisciplinary research as it combines society, technologies and management. The aim of this paper is to advance the knowledge of DH business by reviewing existing studies of DH as an inter-organizational and complex phenomenon and to propose the ground for strategic management studies. Admitting the fact that DH requires interdisciplinary approach we shed the light on the theoretical tenets explaining this phenomenon from managerial theories perspectives and suggest research avenues that might contribute to the future DH studies.

Abstract This study applies an economic sociology perspective in exploring the importance of cultural embeddedness of firm economic activities across borders. The findings are data driven and uses the seafood trade and its shared business environments between Norway and China as case example. The empirical findings of this study show that market-as-network, and actor-to-actor interrelationships will become increasingly important in forming resilient business networks. It also illustrates how economic sociology can provide a holistic framework of analysis in studying cultural embeddedness.

Abstract Previous studies have shown that institutional environments play an important role in explaining entrepreneurship in a given country. Yet, most of the extant studies focus on samples derived from developed-economies. While some attentions have been given to countries in developing economies, the focus was mainly on a few rapidly developing countries whereas others remain largely under-explored. Moreover, developing countries in the Asian region provides a compelling context to be studied as it espouses different institutional logics. To address these issues, we assess the perceptions of the regulatory, cognitive, and normative institutional dimensions that may promote entrepreneurship in a sample of 701 business students from three Asian’s developing economies: Malaysia, Bangladesh, and China. In general, the overall institutional environments level for Malaysia and China are perceived as favorable for entrepreneurship whereas Bangladesh is perceived as relatively less favorable for entrepreneurship. Moreover, results suggest that there are significant differences in the country’s institutional environments between Bangladesh and Malaysia, as well as between Bangladesh and China. These results revealed important cross-national differences and invariance between the three countries in the same Asian region. Implications for future research and practice are discussed.

Abstract This paper investigates the implementation of integrated performance measurement (IPM) system, the extent of integration among four performance measures proposed by the balanced scorecard as an IPM framework (namely financial, customer, internal business process, and learning and growth perspectives) and the impact of non-financial disclosure on financial performance. The study employed ex post facto research design. A self-designed disclosure checklist containing forty-eight (48) items across financial (18), customer (18), internal business (4), and learning and growth (8) perspectives was used to analyze performance disclosure for a 3-year period of 2012–2014. Structural equation modeling was used to explore the interaction among the performance measures, as well as the impact of non-financial disclosure on financial performance post-IPM implementation. The study concludes that banks do not adopt an integrative approach to performance measurement and disclosure, as performance appears to be communicated in a haphazard manner. Failure to embrace an integrative approach to performance disclosure appears to be responsible for the low impact of non-financial disclosure on financial performance. The originality of the current study stems from the awareness that it developed a disclosure checklist that can be used by other studies to assess the quality of performance disclosure in annual reports. To the researchers’ knowledge, the study is the first, in the Nigerian context, to assess the level of integration among performance measures in an IPM system using secondary data. The excessive focus on the financial measures implies that firms are not leveraging on the synergistic benefits of an integrative approach to performance measurement and disclosure.

Abstract This article explores the influence of top management team (TMT) characteristics on the performance of banks in Russia. Empirical research is based on both primary and secondary data of 178 banks. The study contributes to advancing research on upper echelon theory. The study’s results suggest that some top management characteristics have positive influence on the performance of banks, while others either negative or neutral. It was proven that percentage of Ph.D. holders in TMT and heterogeneity of functional expertise positively influence financial results of banks. In addition, CEO duality and gender heterogeneity have a negative effect on financial results of banks in Russia. Other TMT characteristics have no influence on banks performance (ROA, ROE and ROI).

This study analyses the similarities (convergence) and differences (divergence) in human resource (HR) practices in the private and public sectors in 32 countries over a 12 year period. The paper starts with New Public Management (NPM) overview and its critiques and then discusses HR convergence, divergence and cross-vergence tendencies. Using the Cranet database of HR practitioner-employee ratio, performance appraisal systems use and application, unionization levels and training days metrics, analysis focuses on the three groupings of NPM countries, Central and Eastern European countries and all other countries. The hypothesis that HR practices of private and public sectors differ less in NPM countries than in the other two groups of countries is partially supported.
