We advance the springboard perspective by investigating how emerging-market multinational enterprises (EMNEs) evolve into global leaders, uncovering the specific mechanisms for capability development in the post-springboarding phase. We propose a four-stage process model that delineates the transformation of EMNEs, in response to technological paradigm shifts and business opportunities, from followers to leaders: (1) capability acquisition via springboarding from international value-chain partners, (2) capability scaling via co-exploitation with domestic value-chain partners, (3) capability creation via co-exploration with domestic value-chain partners, and (4) capability diffusion via reverse knowledge transfer to international value-chain partners. Using the transition of the automotive supply sector in China from internal combustion engines (ICE) to electric vehicles (EV) as an exemplary case, we illustrate how EMNEs can evolve from learning extant knowledge from, and to contributing new knowledge to, advanced-market multinational enterprises (AMNEs). Our model extends the springboard perspective by detailing the rarely-explored post-springboarding phase, particularly in the context of contemporary geopolitical tensions. More broadly, we contribute to a deeper understanding of the action-based view of dynamic capabilities in international business by specifying the entrepreneurial actions that make EMNE capability development and transformation possible.

我们通过研究新兴市场跨国企业（EMNEs）如何演变为全球领导者，揭示了后跳板阶段能力发展的具体机制，从而推进了跳板视角。我们提出了一个四阶段的过程模型，该模型描述了EMNEs在应对技术范式转变和商业机会时从追随者到领导者的转变：(1)通过国际价值链合作伙伴的跳板获得能力，(2)通过与国内价值链合作伙伴的共同开发扩大能力，(3)通过与国内价值链合作伙伴的共同探索创造能力，以及(4)通过向国际价值链合作伙伴的逆向知识转移实现能力扩散。本文以中国汽车供应行业从内燃机（ICE）向电动汽车（EV）的转型为例，阐述了EMNEs如何从学习先进市场跨国企业（AMNEs）的现有知识发展到为其贡献新知识。我们的模型通过详细描述很少被探索的后跳板阶段，特别是在当代地缘政治紧张局势的背景下，扩展了跳板视角。更广泛地说，我们通过具体说明使EMNE能力发展和转型成为可能的企业家行为，有助于更深入地理解国际商业中基于行动的动态能力观点。

While online transactions through live streaming are rising rapidly for international exchanges, we understand little about why foreign firms vary in their use of live streaming on the digital platform when operating in host markets. Drawing on institutional theory, our study investigates how institutional distance affects foreign firms’ live streaming use as a digital operation strategy in the host market. Using a unique longitudinal dataset consisting of 3158 product-month observations from a Chinese digital platform, our findings reveal that while legal distance has a positive effect on live streaming use, digital distance has a negative impact. Moreover, firm age and platform experience significantly moderate the roles of institutional distance. These findings provide novel insights into platform-based operation strategies in international markets.

虽然通过直播进行的在线交易在国际交流中迅速增长，但我们对外国公司在东道国市场运营时在数字平台上使用直播的原因知之甚少。本文运用制度理论，探讨了制度距离如何影响外国公司在东道国市场上使用直播作为一种数字运营策略。我们使用了一个独特的纵向数据集，包括来自中国数字平台的3158个产品月的观察结果，我们的研究结果表明，虽然法律距离对直播使用有积极影响，但数字距离有负面影响。此外，企业年龄和平台经验显著调节了制度距离的作用。这些发现为国际市场上基于平台的运营策略提供了新的见解。

Multinational enterprises (MNEs) are increasingly collaborating across sectoral boundaries for sustainable value creation, yet research on trisector initiatives in conflict-affected settings remains limited. This qualitative study focuses on two cross sector collaborations in Nigeria. We examine how relational processes and collaborative infrastructures are co-constructed across boundaries. We find that violent contexts require the deliberate orchestration of distributed boundary activities and actors across multiple levels and over time. We propose a framework of boundary spanning orchestration that highlights how repair work is crucial for including marginalized voices, which are essential for sustained value creation.

跨国企业（MNEs）越来越多地跨部门合作，以实现可持续的价值创造，但在受冲突影响的环境中，对三部门倡议的研究仍然有限。本定性研究的重点是尼日利亚的两个跨部门合作。我们研究了关系过程和协作基础设施是如何跨边界共同构建的。我们发现，暴力环境需要在多个层次和时间内对分布式边界活动和参与者进行精心编排。我们提出了一个跨边界编排框架，强调修复工作对于包括边缘化声音至关重要，这对于持续的价值创造至关重要。

An increasing number of social enterprises (SEs) are going international, reaching customers and beneficiaries across borders. SEs are hybrid organizations that pursue both economic and social objectives. This phenomenon has sparked interest among policy-makers and international business (IB) scholars, who see a potential for social entrepreneurship research to extend a new IB agenda to include social value creation. Research on international SEs, however, remains limited. As these types of enterprises prioritize their social mission over economic objectives, current IB theorization may need to be adjusted to apply to the context of such international hybrid organizations. Therefore, this paper investigates the internationalization process of SEs, drawing on a qualitative multiple-case study of seven international SEs. Our findings suggest that notions of internationalization need to be expanded to account for the dual logics that SEs need to address. SEs’ international activities and commitments do not merely relate to their economic activities, but also to their social impact. We argue this has consequences for their internationalization process. Our study contributes to current SE and IB literatures by deepening our understanding of the influence of SEs’ hybridity and social mission on their internationalization.

越来越多的社会企业（SEs）走向国际，跨越国界接触客户和受益者。企业是追求经济和社会目标的混合型组织。这一现象引起了政策制定者和国际商业（IB）学者的兴趣，他们认为社会企业家研究有可能扩展新的IB议程，将社会价值创造纳入其中。然而，对国际社会企业的研究仍然有限。由于这些类型的企业将其社会使命置于经济目标之上，当前的IB理论可能需要进行调整，以适用于此类国际混合组织的背景。因此，本文对七家国际中小企业的国际化进程进行了定性多案例研究。我们的研究结果表明，国际化的概念需要扩展，以考虑到企业需要解决的双重逻辑。中小企业的国际活动和承诺不仅关系到它们的经济活动，而且关系到它们的社会影响。我们认为这对他们的国际化进程产生了影响。我们的研究加深了我们对中小企业混杂性和社会使命对其国际化的影响的理解，为当前的中小企业和IB文献做出了贡献。

Multinational enterprises (MNEs) have a collective carbon footprint that would rank fifth among nations, positioning them at the center of the debate on climate change mitigation. Framed through theories of temporality, stakeholder pressure, and signaling, this study examines whether and how MNEs have reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions over time. Using longitudinal data over 15 years (2009–2023), we track absolute reductions in scope 1 (direct) and scope 2 (indirect) emissions across the world’s top non-financial MNEs headquartered in 30 countries. We find that 69% of firms reduced scope 1 emissions, with an even higher proportion reducing scope 2 emissions and emission intensities. Reductions accelerated after the 2015 Paris Agreement, though fewer than 45% achieved reductions consistent with international climate targets. Our results highlight the central role of sustained climate governance mechanisms including board oversight, climate strategy, emission targets, monetary incentives, and verification in driving emission reductions. These mechanisms are effective only among firms already on a path to reduce GHG emissions. In firms that increased emissions, governance mechanisms appeared largely symbolic, underscoring the risk of greenwashing in corporate climate governance.

跨国企业（MNEs）的集体碳足迹将在各国中排名第五，使它们处于减缓气候变化辩论的中心。通过时间性、利益相关者压力和信号理论的框架，本研究考察了跨国公司是否以及如何随着时间的推移减少温室气体（GHG）排放。利用15年（2009-2023年）的纵向数据，我们追踪了总部位于30个国家的全球顶级非金融跨国公司在第一类（直接）和第二类（间接）排放方面的绝对减少量。我们发现69%的企业减少了第一类排放，而减少第二类排放和排放强度的比例更高。2015年《巴黎协定》之后，减排加速，但实现符合国际气候目标的减排不到45%。我们的研究结果强调了可持续气候治理机制在推动减排方面的核心作用，包括董事会监督、气候战略、排放目标、货币激励和核查。这些机制只对已经走上减少温室气体排放道路的公司有效。在增加排放的企业中，治理机制似乎在很大程度上是象征性的，这突显了企业气候治理中“漂绿”的风险。

Firms operating across national borders are subject to scrutiny in both home and host countries. These multiple regimes of scrutiny increase their vulnerability to legitimacy crises that can significantly impact their operations and reputations. Over the past two decades, scholars in international business (IB) have investigated socio-political legitimacy (SPL), primarily through an institutionalist lens. However, despite extensive research across IB, political science, and sociology, the literature remains fragmented, characterized by diverse theoretical frameworks and modes of inquiry. This paper seeks to synthesize these disparate perspectives and identify converging themes. Specifically, it examines legitimacy through three core dimensions: property, perception, and process. Drawing on 250 studies from IB and management, sociology, and political science journals, this integrative review offers a comprehensive understanding of SPL, highlighting key theories, themes, and methodological trends. Furthermore, it introduces a “theory-on-theory” agenda aimed at advancing legitimacy both as a unit theory and in its relative role within institutional theory as a programmatic theory. The paper lays the foundations for future theorizing and empirical research on legitimacy-building strategies across diverse institutional contexts.

跨国经营的公司在母国和东道国都要接受审查。这些多重审查制度增加了它们面对合法性危机的脆弱性，这可能严重影响它们的运营和声誉。在过去的二十年中，国际商务（IB）学者主要通过制度主义的视角研究了社会政治合法性（SPL）。然而，尽管在IB、政治学和社会学领域进行了广泛的研究，但文献仍然是碎片化的，其特点是不同的理论框架和探究模式。本文试图综合这些不同的观点，并确定趋同的主题。具体来说，它通过三个核心维度来检验合法性：属性、感知和过程。利用来自IB和管理学、社会学和政治学期刊的250项研究，这篇综合综述提供了对SPL的全面理解，突出了关键理论、主题和方法趋势。此外，它还引入了一种“理论对理论”的议程，旨在推进合法性作为一种单位理论，以及作为一种纲领性理论在制度理论中的相对作用。本文为未来对不同制度背景下的合法性建设策略进行理论和实证研究奠定了基础。

Progress or perish: International business and the adoption of artificial intelligence 进步或灭亡：国际商业和人工智能的采用

A growing tension exists between the transformative capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI), especially its generative forms, and restrictive editorial policies and social climate that hinder its adoption. While AI enables and compels scholars to reallocate intellectual resources across tasks, academic journals (and institutions) have implemented defensive guardrails that prioritize preservation. This editorial challenges such academic orthodoxy surrounding AI usage, arguing that current approaches represent a false dichotomy between authentic human scholarship and AI-assisted research. This conservative stance imposes significant opportunity costs. We propose that the international business (IB) field must embrace intellectual courage by evaluating research contributions based on their validity and significance, rather than conformity to traditional views of what constitutes authentic scholarship. Market-based forces should determine the technological evolution while maintaining accountability for outcomes. Given the choice between technological leadership and scholarly irrelevance—otherwise, progress or perish—we offer steps for the IB field to avoid becoming the latter.

人工智能（AI）的变革能力，特别是其生成形式，与阻碍其采用的限制性编辑政策和社会环境之间存在着日益紧张的关系。虽然人工智能能够并迫使学者在不同任务之间重新分配智力资源，但学术期刊（和机构）已经实施了优先考虑保存的防御护栏。这篇社论挑战了围绕人工智能使用的这种学术正统，认为目前的方法代表了真正的人类学术和人工智能辅助研究之间的错误二分法。这种保守的立场带来了巨大的机会成本。我们建议，国际商务（IB）领域必须拥抱智力勇气，根据研究成果的有效性和重要性来评估研究贡献，而不是遵从传统观点，即什么是真正的学术。市场力量应该决定技术发展，同时保持对结果的问责制。在技术领先和学术无关之间做出选择——否则，要么进步，要么灭亡——我们为IB领域提供了避免成为后者的步骤。

International business (IB) scholarship portrays internationalization as dominantly positive for individuals and organizations. We challenge this dominant view, arguing that while internationalization can generate positive economic outcomes, it often results in environmental injustice for the masses of poor individuals living in extreme poverty. Drawing on postcolonial theory, we generate three testable propositions that specifically address the colonial legacy in former colonial nations with extreme poverty; these propositions relate to these nations’ institutional void, colonizer privilege, and racial capitalism. We then generate a future research agenda at the intersection of IB, those in extreme poverty, and environmental injustice.

国际商务（IB）奖学金将国际化描述为个人和组织的主要积极因素。我们对这一主流观点提出了挑战，认为虽然国际化可以产生积极的经济成果，但它往往会导致生活在极端贫困中的穷人群体的环境不公正。根据后殖民理论，我们提出了三个可检验的命题，专门针对极端贫困的前殖民国家的殖民遗产；这些主张与这些国家的制度空虚、殖民者特权和种族资本主义有关。然后，我们在IB，极端贫困和环境不公正的交叉点上制定了未来的研究议程。

This perspective paper examines the role of Corporate Military Activities (CMA) within the field of international business, an area that has growing importance amidst escalating global geopolitical tensions. We posit that CMA is a special, acquisition-oriented subtype of Corporate Political Activities (CPA), distinct from the well-known influence-oriented tactics of CPA or constructive-oriented tactics of corporate social responsibility. CMA encompasses actions by multinational enterprises (MNEs) explicitly directed at military-industrial ecosystem to secure military-derived strategic resources for competitive advantage in global contexts. This paper identifies and discusses four key benefits of CMA for MNEs, namely the acquisition and strategic use of security assets, the leadership acquired from military in MNEs, the diffusion of military-driven technological innovations, and business expansion. We also outline the drawbacks of CMA for the MNEs and provide a structured research agenda for further inquiry, contributing to a deeper understanding of how firms can effectively integrate CMA into their strategies in a rapidly changing global environment.

这篇观点论文探讨了企业军事活动（CMA）在国际商业领域中的作用，这一领域在全球地缘政治紧张局势不断升级的背景下变得越来越重要。我们认为，CMA是一种特殊的、以获取为导向的企业政治活动（CPA）亚型，不同于众所周知的以影响力为导向的CPA策略或以建构为导向的企业社会责任策略。CMA包括跨国企业（MNEs）明确针对军事工业生态系统的行动，以确保军事衍生的战略资源在全球范围内获得竞争优势。本文确定并讨论了CMA对跨国公司的四个关键好处，即安全资产的获取和战略使用，跨国公司从军方获得的领导力，军事驱动的技术创新的扩散，以及业务扩张。我们还概述了跨国公司CMA的缺点，并为进一步调查提供了结构化的研究议程，有助于更深入地了解公司如何在快速变化的全球环境中有效地将CMA整合到其战略中。
