Most multinational firms might follow the global direction of the home country and face local stakeholders’ pressure on their CSR commitment to the host country. Past research has suggested that perceived autonomy is an essential condition that promotes local commitment to CSR, however, the relationship is not conclusive. This study aims to test a theoretical framework for the association between perceived subsidiary autonomy and local CSR practices' commitment. A survey of senior managers was conducted on multinational subsidiaries in China in 2022 to test our proposed framework. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the collected data.
It was found that there is an association between perceived commitment to local CSR practices and corporate performance. There is an association between perceived subsidiary autonomy and commitment to local CSR practices. Entrepreneurial orientation acts as a partial mediator in the relationship between perceived subsidiary autonomy and commitment to local CSR practices. Multinationals' products/brands could be more competitive in the Chinese market if their headquarters is more flexible on local CSR practices in the host country. This paper provides evidence of the association between perceived subsidiary autonomy and local CSR practices’ commitment.

This study examines the impact of construction robotics (CR) and agile project management (APM) principles on operational efficiency in Chinese commercial residential projects (CRPs). By analyzing 107 CRPs across 21 provinces, including 30 using CR technology, we employ a novel methodology that combines superefficiency SBM-DEA, APM frameworks, and Tobit regression models. The results show that CR implementation improved work efficiency by 2.59% on average. Operational efficiency varied regionally, with the eastern area (mean 0.3963) outperforming the central (0.3651) and western (0.3790) areas. The provinces of Jiangsu and Shanghai demonstrated the highest efficiencies. APM factors significantly influence efficiency: top management commitment negatively (−0.9432) and product owner involvement positively (0.2266). CR implementation in the main structural phase showed the strongest positive correlation (0.0438). Three of the nine typical CR technologies on the project duration's critical path were the most popular among the contractors. The study identified potential improvements in interim payments and inventory balance efficiency. The findings extend APM theory to real estate development, refine technology adoption models in construction, and reveal tensions between contractor priorities and overall project efficiency. Practical implications include recommendations for targeted CR implementation, management restructuring, and policy support. Future research should explore longitudinal effects, broader geographic scopes, and potential mediating variables in CR and APM dynamics in real estate development.

This study examines the impact of consumer boycotts on global brand strength by investigating country affinity and subjective norms. We analyze longitudinal data from South Korea over three years and test the moderated mediation hypothesis using the PROCESS macro. We show that consumer boycotts negatively affect brand strength indirectly by reducing country affinity across all years. We observed a significant negative moderated mediation effect of subjective norms only in 2020, the initial year of South Korean boycotts of Japanese products. Unlike prior literature focusing on boycott motivations, this study provides insights into the effects of actual boycotts on global brands, emphasizing country affinity and subjective norms in a longitudinal context.

This study examines the impact of auditor independence, auditor expertise, and auditor industry experience on financial reporting quality. A quantitative method was employed and a survey was sent to a sample of 203 auditors. The findings revealed a significant positive relationship between auditor independence and financial reporting quality. This suggests that when auditors maintain independence and objectivity in their engagements, the accuracy and reliability of financial reporting are enhanced. Furthermore, the findings revealed that the expertise of auditors plays a vital role in ensuring compliance with accounting standards and ethical principles, thereby improving the quality of financial reporting. Additionally, the findings showed that auditors with industry-specific knowledge and expertise are better equipped to understand the unique challenges and opportunities within different sectors, leading to better financial reporting quality. This study is significant, as it contributes to the auditing literature by providing insights into the context of Lebanon, a nation grappling with economic and governance challenges, and underscores the pivotal role of auditors in upholding financial integrity in such turbulent environments.

This study investigates the impact of Sequential Foreign Direct Investments (SFDI) on subsidiary performance, emphasizing the role of operational and length of learning. The research challenges conventional strategies for making initial investment decisions based on country-specific factors during internationalization. The study draws insights from a sample comprising subsidiaries of Japanese electronics firms. Utilizing multiple regression models, we analyze the impact of SFDI at three distinct location levels: local, regional, and international. Contrary to conventional wisdom, our findings challenge the notion of a direct correlation between the total number of SFDI at different levels and subsidiary performance. Instead, our results underscore the critical importance of learning through SFDI experiences over time. Our study identifies that accumulating the length of learning at regional and international levels enhances subsidiary performance. This length of learning effect at the regional level manifests prominently in larger economies. Although operational learning negatively affects performance, it impacts subsidiaries in countries with higher Gross Domestic Product (GDP). We recommend further exploration, including incorporating additional control variables, consideration of diverse learning modalities, and continued investigation into the complex relationship between SFDI and subsidiary performance.

In today's markets, customers demand accurate product information, while supply chain stakeholders seek transparency throughout organizational processes and supply chain operations. Supply chain transparency has emerged as a key element for achieving business excellence. However, measuring its level with current performance measures remains challenging. This research incorporates the Lean, Agile, Resilient, and Green (LARG) approach into performance measures to achieve supply chain transparency. The study aims to identify LARG-based performance measures to enhance supply chain transparency through a literature review and Q-sorting technique. We administered a questionnaire survey to 31 experts. The key findings highlight total supply chain visibility, information readiness, service reliability, business continuity plan readiness, and efficiency as essential measures for enhancing transparency. We also identified specific measures for each element of supply chain transparency, including visibility, traceability, knowledge integration, governance, and sustainability. Accordingly, we present detailed guidelines for improving supply chain transparency performance. Lastly, the article discusses theoretical and managerial implications and makes recommendations for future research.

Although substantial evidence demonstrates the considerable impact of brand love, further investigation is necessary to examine the primary elements that influence it, specifically in cultivating a love for domestic brands among young consumers in emerging markets. To fill this gap, we propose a conceptual model based on associative network memory theory. The model suggests that brand awareness and brand image may help explain the influence of social media marketing activities on brand love. We engaged 389 young consumers actively interacting with the social media accounts of Indonesian domestic brands to evaluate our model, analyzing the data using the PLS-SEM approach. The findings indicate that engaging in social media marketing activities has a substantial impact on increasing brand love among young consumers. We also clarify the significant importance of brand awareness and brand image in increasing the influence of social media marketing activities on brand love within the young consumer segment.

This research aims to examine the factors influencing the adoption of ChatGPT in educational institutions in Botswana. It addresses three major gaps. The first is the lack of research on AI adoption for teaching and learning in developing countries, particularly Botswana. While AI adoption in education has been studied globally, there is little understanding of how tools such as ChatGPT and Jenni AI are perceived in this context. Second, there is a lack of research on the infrastructure and digital disparities that developing countries face when integrating AI in education, especially in rural areas. Third, the use of Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) 2 in studying AI adoption in educational settings in low-resource countries remains underexplored.
This study employed a quantitative design, collecting data from 518 participants through online questionnaires using a snowball sampling technique. The data were analysed using confirmatory factor analysis in SmartPLS 3.0 software in order to ensure internal consistency and validity. The findings revealed that personal innovativeness and performance expectancy were the strongest predictors of ChatGPT adoption, while social influence and resource availability had less impact. The model explained over 50% of the variance in behavioural intention and usage behaviour.
The research highlights the need for training and infrastructure improvements to support AI adoption in Botswana's higher education. It also calls for future research using mixed methods to gain deeper insights. This study is among the first to apply UTAUT2 in this context and provides valuable findings for both scholars and practitioners looking to advance AI adoption in developing countries.

This study explores the intricate connections among fintech initiatives, financial regulation, and corporate financialization trends in the Indian context. There is a clear recognition of the impact of fintech on corporate finances. However, there is still a significant gap in understanding the intersection of fintech, financial regulation, and corporate financialization, particularly for Indian manufacturing companies. Our analysis is based on annual data from 2014 to 2023, with a specific focus on firms listed on the A-share market. The findings indicate that fintech initiatives have a noticeable impact on hindering corporate financialization. Nevertheless, the impact of this phenomenon is influenced by financial regulation, which has a substantial effect on either magnifying or reducing the influence of fintech. State-owned enterprises, firms in industries with lower pollution levels, and businesses situated in less marketized regions experience varying impacts from these dynamics. This study emphasizes the importance of understanding the complex impact of fintech and regulatory frameworks on corporate financial trends, particularly in developing economies such as India.

The paper conducts a bibliometric analysis of the country of origin (COO) using 590 Scopus indexed articles of the past 30 years. The Trend analysis highlights 2023 as the most contributing year, along with growing trend since 1994, reflecting the concept's increasing significance. The citation analysis points out that the most prolific author is Diamantopoulos A. (1810 citations), the institution is Tilburg University Netherlands (1027 citations), and the country is the United States (10627 citations). Likewise, the most influential journal is International Marketing Review (4285 citations) and the article is “A Review and Meta-Analysis of Country-of-Origin Research” (1027 citations). The co-citation analysis revealed the multidimensionality of COO along its diverse effects and ethnocentrism as its knowledge foundation. Eight thematic clusters are discovered via bibliographic coupling, namely, dimensions of COO and consumer perception, product attribute, brand image, emerging and developed economies, ethnocentrism, and variations in COO and its impact. At last, co-occurrence analysis revealed consumer behaviour and international marketing (1993–2003), brand and brand image (2004–2013), and ethnocentrism (2014–2024) as the major keywords. The findings revealed that favourable COO perceptions can influence firms' international segmentation and positioning strategies. These perceptions also affect company performance and can be leveraged by governments to attract foreign investments, promote exports, and negotiate trade agreements. Future research could explore the impact of e-commerce, social media influence, sustainability mandates, and corporate social responsibility on COO influence. Additionally, a multi-level approach, incorporating both consumer (demand) and firm (supply) perspectives, is essential to understand how COO influences firm's different strategies.

The Trend analysis highlights 2023 as the most contributing year, along with growing trend since 1994, reflecting the concept's increasing significance. The citation analysis points out that the most prolific author is Diamantopoulos A. (1810 citations), the institution is Tilburg University Netherlands (1027 citations), and the country is the United States (10627 citations). Likewise, the most influential journal is <em>International Marketing Review</em> (4285 citations) and the article is “A Review and Meta-Analysis of Country-of-Origin Research” (1027 citations). The co-citation analysis revealed the multidimensionality of COO along its diverse effects and ethnocentrism as its knowledge foundation. Eight thematic clusters are discovered via bibliographic coupling, namely, dimensions of COO and consumer perception, product attribute, brand image, emerging and developed economies, ethnocentrism, and variations in COO and its impact. At last, co-occurrence analysis revealed consumer behaviour and international marketing (1993–2003), brand and brand image (2004–2013), and ethnocentrism (2014–2024) as the major keywords. The findings revealed that favourable COO perceptions can influence firms' international segmentation and positioning strategies. These perceptions also affect company performance and can be leveraged by governments to attract foreign investments, promote exports, and negotiate trade agreements. Future research could explore the impact of e-commerce, social media influence, sustainability mandates, and corporate social responsibility on COO influence. Additionally, a multi-level approach, incorporating both consumer (demand) and firm (supply) perspectives, is essential to understand how COO influences firm's different strategies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46001,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Management Review","volume":"30 1","pages":"Article 100337"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143679162","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
