Following a recent research call by leading authorities in the field of language-related international business (IB) research, we focus on multilingualism in multinational teams (MNTs). We approach multilingualism as an organisational environment (not as a skillset). We explore how the multilingual organisational environment influences decision-making processes within MNTs. We start with a bibliometric literature review which shows to what extent team-level aspects of language and multilingualism have been explored so far in the literature. This is followed by a focused literature review examining the influence of the multilingual organisational environment on decision-making processes within MNTs in a balanced manner (positive and negative outcomes) at both the individual and team level. We present a 2 × 2 multi-level dynamic conceptual model (with positive/negative effects) of multilingual environment phenomena, mechanisms and outcomes focusing on MNT decision-making. We finish with future directions and questions to guide research on multilingualism in MNTs.

Prior studies indicate that some socio-cultural values and norms are more conducive to family business strategies and performance. Generally, social norms and values that emphasise family values provide a beneficial environment for family businesses as they safeguard socioemotional wealth in family businesses. We analyse the effects of traditional versus secular-rational culture, particularly on internationalisation endeavours of family and non-family businesses. Our research question is, how does family and non-family business internationalisation differ between traditional and secular-rational societies? We analyse a representative sample of 1349 family and non-family businesses in secular-rational societies such as Sweden and more traditional ones such as China and Iran. Multivariate analyses support the hypothesis that the interaction between traditional culture and family governance promotes exporting in China and Iran more than in Sweden. The finding contributes to contextualising family business internationalisation in the institutional environment.

Drawing on Family Social Capital (FSC) and network theories, this study investigates how Family Firms (FFs) identify and establish network ties with external actors in the context of internationalisation. Adopting a multiple-case study on ten large FFs internationalising to China and India, the main findings suggest that FSC guides family managers during the process of establishing network ties with external actors. Trust still plays a key role in selecting and deciding on forming network ties with external actors, even in large FFs. Furthermore, despite being non-identical across cultures, familial commonalities encourage FFs to establish strategic network relationships with one another. Nevertheless, resource dependency and industry features mitigate this tendency. During the process of increasing network centrality and network closure, family members tend to be directly involved and leverage their FSC in developing and nurturing intimate network relationships with external actors, leading to a sense of solidarity and devotion among actors within the FFs' networks.

In this theoretical study, we challenge two prevalent assumptions in the international business domain: the 'disappearance of informal networks' and the 'strength of weak ties' assumptions. Drawing on cultural as well as informality studies, we explore the phenomenon of clientelism and its characteristics in the post-Soviet Union. We argue that informal ties based on patron-client relations are neither disappearing nor is weakness a characteristic that makes them strong. We propose that diverse clientelistic ties appear to persist in the post-Soviet Union, as they are culturally embedded and dynamically adjust to changes in the environment. Finally, we argue that the nature of clientelism is paradoxical: on the one hand, it is prone to favouritism, but when it comes to weak governments, clientelistic practices may, on the other hand, be seen as an effective means to overcome social boundaries by connecting persons of different social classes.

European city systems belong to different sovereign territories. Apart from that, geographical location and cultural sharing may become drawbacks for cross-border cooperation (CBC) projects in Eurocities. In this regard, the marketing research is perceived as a recommendation and does not become the basis of territorial development strategies. However, marketing and advertising are critical factors that can influence the CBC success. Thus, the impact of cooperative marketing forms in the CBC societies was analysed in five Iberian Eurocities, considering not only a literature review, data evaluation and visits to the areas of study, but also the analysis of experts and perceptions of main actors related to the CBC process. This study allowed to assess and determine how factors of marketing and advertising influence the regional development. Regions with more territorial success were identified and the data obtained provided a sustainable basis on how to use marketing and advertising tools for the cross-border regions development.
