The global economic landscape has witnessed significant disruptions, prompting businesses to reevaluate their internationalization strategies. Safe-shoring, involving strategic realignment to mitigate risks while maintaining competitiveness, is crucial in volatile international markets. Drawing upon the Resource Orchestration Theory (ROT), the research employs a multiple-case research design involving four B2B organizations from an Asian developing country. Findings reveal that market demand, regulatory environments, and strategic objectives significantly influence firms' decisions to adopt safe-shoring practices. Moreover, the study identifies and analyzes trade-offs encountered in resource orchestration, such as those between cost-effectiveness and quality, specialization and control, and short-term gains versus long-term sustainability. The study enriches ROT by identifying and analyzing specific resource-orchestrated capabilities developed by these firms and uncovers trade-offs encountered in their deployment. The empirical evidence contributes to theoretical advancements in understanding resource allocation, strategic decision-making, and risk management in international business, providing valuable insights for practitioners and scholars alike.
全球经济格局发生了重大变化,促使企业重新评估其国际化战略。在动荡的国际市场中,安全支持至关重要,它涉及战略调整,以降低风险,同时保持竞争力。本研究以资源编排理论(Resource Orchestration Theory, ROT)为基础,采用多案例研究设计,研究对象为四个来自亚洲发展中国家的B2B组织。研究结果显示,市场需求、监管环境和战略目标显著影响公司采取安全支持实践的决策。此外,该研究确定并分析了资源编排中遇到的权衡,例如成本效益与质量、专门化与控制、短期收益与长期可持续性之间的权衡。该研究通过识别和分析这些公司开发的特定资源协调能力来丰富ROT,并揭示了它们在部署中遇到的权衡。这些实证证据有助于在理解国际商务中的资源配置、战略决策和风险管理方面取得理论进展,为实践者和学者提供有价值的见解。

Despite its potential benefits, the impact of nationalization initiatives that focus on developing the national workforce, such as Qatarization, on organizational performance remains largely elusive. Drawing from 313 responses from organizations in Qatar, this study illuminates these dynamics by investigating the associations between Qatarization as an indicator of HRM development, namely Qatarization effectiveness, and Qatarization as a statistical indicator, labeled as Qatari Employment Metric that measures higher proportion of Qatari staff, with organizational performance (both financial and non-financial). Our findings provide empirical support for the human capital theory and resource-based view theory through disclosing that Qatarization effectiveness has a positive impact on both financial and non-financial performance. However, a higher proportion of Qatari staff by itself does not necessarily signal better performance and may, in fact, negatively influence non-financial outcomes. We further examine the complex institutional context and discover that stakeholder uncertainty attenuates the positive effect of Qatarization effectiveness on non-financial performance, while the presence of Qatarization expertise can counterbalance the adverse impact of high percentage of Qatari staff on non-financial performance. The results enhance our understanding of the complexities of nationalization public policies and their bearing on organizational performance in the Middle East, thereby emphasizing the necessity of strategic human resource management practices for effective human capital policy implementation.
尽管有潜在的好处,但侧重于发展国家劳动力的国有化举措(如卡塔尔化)对组织绩效的影响在很大程度上仍然难以捉摸。从卡塔尔组织的313个回应中,本研究通过调查卡塔尔化作为人力资源管理发展指标(即卡塔尔化有效性)与卡塔尔化作为统计指标(标记为卡塔尔就业指标,衡量卡塔尔员工比例较高)与组织绩效(财务和非财务)之间的关联,阐明了这些动态。通过揭示卡塔尔化效应对财务和非财务绩效均有正向影响,为人力资本理论和资源基础观理论提供了实证支持。然而,卡塔尔工作人员比例较高本身并不一定意味着业绩更好,实际上可能对非财务结果产生负面影响。我们进一步研究了复杂的制度背景,发现利益相关者的不确定性削弱了卡塔尔化有效性对非财务绩效的积极影响,而卡塔尔化专业知识的存在可以抵消卡塔尔员工高比例对非财务绩效的不利影响。研究结果增强了我们对中东国有化公共政策的复杂性及其对组织绩效的影响的理解,从而强调了战略人力资源管理实践对有效实施人力资本政策的必要性。

The aim of this paper is to examine whether the value investors place on cash holdings varies between multinationals and domestic firms from Latin America. Utilizing data from the six largest Latin American economies, our analyses with different proxies of multinationality reveal that investors do not attribute a significant valuation premium, nor do they impose a price discount, on the cash held by Latin American multinational corporations (Multilatinas) when compared to the cash of their domestic counterparts. These findings suggest that shareholders do not view Multilatinas' cash holdings as conferring greater advantages relative to those of domestic firms. We interpret this as evidence that the perceived benefits of multinationality, such as increased growth potential, may be counterbalanced by elevated agency costs and greater information asymmetry. Our study advances the literature on cash holdings and international business and discusses implications for stakeholders of multinational corporations that have subsidiaries in countries with potential growth opportunities but in which poor investor protection may lead to agency conflicts and the risk of improper cash diversion. Our research yields important implications for policymakers by highlighting the relevance of requiring the disclosure of disaggregated information about domestic and foreign cash to improve efficiency in stakeholder decision-making.
本文的目的是研究价值投资者对现金持有的看法在跨国公司和拉丁美洲本土公司之间是否存在差异。利用来自拉丁美洲六大经济体的数据,我们对不同多国性指标的分析表明,与国内跨国公司相比,投资者对拉丁美洲跨国公司(Multilatinas)持有的现金没有给予显著的估值溢价,也没有施加价格折扣。这些发现表明,股东并不认为跨国公司持有的现金比国内公司拥有更大的优势。我们将此解释为多国性所带来的利益,如增长潜力的增加,可能会被更高的代理成本和更大的信息不对称所抵消。我们的研究推进了关于现金持有和国际业务的文献,并讨论了在具有潜在增长机会但投资者保护不力可能导致代理冲突和不当现金转移风险的国家设有子公司的跨国公司的利益相关者的影响。我们的研究通过强调要求披露有关国内外现金的分类信息以提高利益相关者决策效率的相关性,为政策制定者提供了重要的启示。

As emerging markets (EMs) gain in economic and geopolitical importance, their complex relation with sustainable development has emerged as a key focus of study, presenting both challenges and opportunities for multinational enterprises (MNEs) operating in these regions. In this introduction to the special issue, we trace the frontiers of current research on MNEs and sustainable business in EMs and identify new themes. We discuss the triple bottom line of sustainability—economic, social, and environmental dimensions—and examine the pivotal yet conflicting role that MNEs play in promoting sustainable business in EMs. We identify three key characteristics of MNEs that influence their ability to both bridge and widen the sustainability gap in EMs: their role as a Technology Leader, Responsible Leader, and Efficiency Seeker. We use these features of MNEs to deepen the understanding of sustainable business practices in EMs and offer new directions for future research in the evolving landscape of global sustainability.
随着新兴市场在经济和地缘政治上的重要性,它们与可持续发展的复杂关系已成为研究的重点,为在这些地区运营的跨国企业(MNEs)带来了挑战和机遇。在本期特刊的导言中,我们追溯了当前跨国公司和新兴市场可持续商业研究的前沿,并确定了新的主题。我们讨论了可持续性的三重底线——经济、社会和环境维度,并研究了跨国公司在促进新兴市场可持续经营方面发挥的关键但相互矛盾的作用。我们确定了影响跨国公司弥合和扩大新兴市场可持续性差距能力的三个关键特征:它们作为技术领导者、负责任领导者和效率寻求者的角色。我们利用跨国公司的这些特征来加深对新兴市场可持续商业实践的理解,并为未来全球可持续发展不断变化的研究提供新的方向。

We revisit the roles of institutional environments in deterring ethically questionable activities conducted through digital channels, focusing on the release of digital bootleg music across countries. Whereas stronger digital regulations aim to deter such activities, we submit that informal institutions in some countries may diverge from formal regulations, creating demand-side opportunities that attract digital bootleggers. This divergence is further intensified in countries with high levels of digital usage, where advanced technological tools enable users to bypass regulatory barriers and access bootlegged content. Consequently, increasing digital usage intensifies the divergence between formal and informal institutions, undermining the effectiveness of digital regulations. Using a large dataset on bootleg music releases across 82 countries, we find empirical support for our theoretical contentions.
我们重新审视了制度环境在阻止通过数字渠道进行的有道德问题的活动中的作用,重点是在各国发行数字盗版音乐。虽然更强有力的数字法规旨在阻止此类活动,但我们认为,一些国家的非正式制度可能会偏离正式法规,从而创造需求方机会,吸引数字盗版者。在数字使用率高的国家,这种差异进一步加剧,在这些国家,先进的技术工具使用户能够绕过监管障碍,获取非法内容。因此,数字使用的增加加剧了正式和非正式机构之间的分歧,破坏了数字法规的有效性。使用82个国家的盗版音乐发行的大型数据集,我们为我们的理论论点找到了实证支持。

Despite its critical role in knowledge transfer and the development of multinational corporations (MNCs), disseminative capacity has received limited attention compared to the mirror concept of absorptive capacity. Drawing from the knowledge-based view and adopting the perspective of subsidiaries as knowledge senders, this paper proposes and conceptualizes four sequential dimensions of disseminative capacity - identification, articulation, association, and support - which constitute potential and realized disseminative capacities. Furthermore, we explore how structural integration mechanisms could influence the development of disseminative capacity in subsidiaries of MNCs. Our fine-grained approach recognizes the multidimensionality and the dynamic nature of disseminative capacity. We also provide theoretical and practical implications for enhancing the disseminative capacity of MNC subsidiaries, thereby facilitating knowledge transfer within MNCs.
尽管传播能力在知识转移和跨国公司的发展中起着关键作用,但与吸收能力的镜像概念相比,传播能力受到的关注有限。本文从知识基础的角度出发,采用子公司作为知识传递者的视角,提出并概念化了传播能力的四个连续维度——识别、表达、关联和支持,这四个维度构成了潜在的和已实现的传播能力。此外,我们还探讨了结构整合机制如何影响跨国公司子公司传播能力的发展。我们的细粒度方法认识到传播能力的多维性和动态性。我们还为提高跨国公司子公司的传播能力,从而促进跨国公司内部的知识转移提供了理论和实践意义。

Navigating international entry via strategic alliances: Comparison of family and non-family firms 通过战略联盟引导国际进入:家族企业与非家族企业的比较

International strategic alliances (ISAs) serve as an important vehicle for growth, international expansion, and access to technology and other resources. The choice of governance structure in ISAs—specifically, whether to form an international joint venture (IJV) or an international non-equity alliance (INEA)—is a pivotal decision for firms. However, despite the importance of this choice, the influence of firms' ownership heterogeneity on the choice remains underexplored. In order to address this gap, this study compares family-owned and non-family-owned firms to examine their differing preferences between IJVs and INEAs. Drawing on an integrated risk perspective and the mixed-gamble socioemotional wealth perspective, we argue that family firms exhibit a greater propensity to choose IJVs over INEAs than non-family firms. Moreover, we posit that this preference is amplified by two factors: (1) the industry-relatedness of the alliance partners and (2) the focal firm's prior experience in the partner's home country. Empirical analysis of 1216 cross-border dyadic alliances formed by publicly listed Indian firms between 2000 and 2022 provides robust support for our hypotheses. This study contributes to the literature on international strategic alliances and family firms' internationalization by shedding light on the nuanced governance preferences of family firms in cross-border collaborations.
国际战略联盟(isa)是实现增长、国际扩张以及获取技术和其他资源的重要工具。企业治理结构的选择——具体来说,是组建国际合资企业(IJV)还是国际非股权联盟(INEA)——是企业的关键决策。然而,尽管这一选择很重要,但企业所有权异质性对这一选择的影响仍未得到充分探讨。为了解决这一差距,本研究比较了家族企业和非家族企业,以检查他们在ijv和INEAs之间的不同偏好。基于综合风险视角和混合赌博社会情感财富视角,我们认为家族企业比非家族企业更倾向于选择ijv而非inea。此外,我们假设这种偏好被两个因素放大:(1)联盟伙伴的行业相关性和(2)焦点公司之前在合作伙伴本国的经验。对2000年至2022年间1216家印度上市公司跨境二元联盟的实证分析为我们的假设提供了有力的支持。本研究通过揭示家族企业在跨境合作中细微的治理偏好,对国际战略联盟和家族企业国际化的研究文献做出了贡献。

Workplace discrimination and overqualification among self-initiated expatriates: The moderating role of organizational legitimacy 自我发起的外派人员的工作场所歧视和资历过高:组织合法性的调节作用

Drawing on relative deprivation theory, this study develops a model to examine whether perceived overqualification and workplace discrimination negatively influence self-initiated expatriates' (SIE) expatriation satisfaction. Additionally, it investigates whether organizational legitimacy and status moderate these relationships. Analyzing a sample of 379 SIEs living and working in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), we find that workplace discrimination significantly reduces SIEs' overall expatriation satisfaction. However, this negative effect diminishes when SIEs perceive their host organization as having high sociopolitical legitimacy. Conversely, the negative impact of workplace discrimination strengthens when SIEs view their host organization's status as high. In contrast, perceived overqualification has no effect on SIEs' expatriation satisfaction, regardless of the host organization's legitimacy or status. This study contributes to the existing literature by highlighting the effects of workplace discrimination and overqualification on SIEs' expatriation experiences. It also elucidates the crucial role of sociopolitical legitimacy and organizational status in shaping SIEs' s responses to negative expatriation experiences.
利用相对剥夺理论,本研究建立了一个模型,以检验感知到的资历过高和工作场所歧视是否会对自我发起的外派员工(SIE)的外派满意度产生负面影响。此外,它还调查了组织合法性和地位是否会调节这些关系。通过对379名在阿联酋生活和工作的外籍员工样本的分析,我们发现,职场歧视显著降低了外籍员工的总体满意度。然而,当他们认为他们的东道国具有很高的社会政治合法性时,这种负面影响就会减弱。相反,当雇主认为自己所在公司的地位很高时,工作场所歧视的负面影响就会增强。相比之下,无论东道国的合法性或地位如何,认为资格过高对外籍员工的外派满意度没有影响。本研究通过强调工作场所歧视和资历过高对外籍员工的影响,为现有文献做出了贡献。它还阐明了社会政治合法性和组织地位在塑造他们对负面外派经历的反应中的关键作用。

Additionally, it investigates whether organizational legitimacy and status moderate these relationships. Analyzing a sample of 379 SIEs living and working in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), we find that workplace discrimination significantly reduces SIEs' overall expatriation satisfaction. However, this negative effect diminishes when SIEs perceive their host organization as having high sociopolitical legitimacy. Conversely, the negative impact of workplace discrimination strengthens when SIEs view their host organization's status as high. In contrast, perceived overqualification has no effect on SIEs' expatriation satisfaction, regardless of the host organization's legitimacy or status. This study contributes to the existing literature by highlighting the effects of workplace discrimination and overqualification on SIEs' expatriation experiences. It also elucidates the crucial role of sociopolitical legitimacy and organizational status in shaping SIEs' s responses to negative expatriation experiences.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47937,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Management","volume":"31 3","pages":"Article 101252"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144239841","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research on subsidiary capability building highlights the importance of creating new capabilities in host countries while the resource management view emphasises effective resource structuring, bundling, and deployment actions to achieve competitive advantages and value creation. Building upon these theoretical advances, we develop a conceptual framework that examines the direct and combined impacts of subsidiary-level business development capabilities encompassing both product and market development, and resource deployment on the performance of foreign subsidiaries of multinational enterprises. We empirically test this framework using survey data from manufacturing and service subsidiaries, archival data from parent firms, and host country data from public sources. The empirical results support our hypotheses. We discuss the implications of our findings for both theory and practice.
子公司能力建设研究强调了在东道国创造新能力的重要性,而资源管理观点强调有效的资源结构、捆绑和部署行动,以实现竞争优势和价值创造。在这些理论进展的基础上,我们开发了一个概念框架,该框架考察了子公司层面的业务开发能力(包括产品和市场开发以及资源配置)对跨国企业海外子公司绩效的直接和综合影响。我们使用来自制造业和服务业子公司的调查数据、母公司的档案数据和来自公共资源的东道国数据对这一框架进行了实证检验。实证结果支持我们的假设。我们讨论了我们的发现对理论和实践的影响。
