Abstract

This study examines (i) the relationship between first social mover multinational corporations (MNCs) and corporate social innovation (CSI); (ii) the impact of MNCs’ CSI on social value creation; and (iii) the moderating role of local embeddedness on the relationship between the first social mover MNCs, CSI, and social value creation. The study builds from the behavioral theory of social entrepreneurship. Primary data was collected from 150 MNCs operating in Nigeria—a social and resource-constrained emerging market in sub-Saharan Africa. Findings show that there is a positive relationship between first social mover MNCs and CSI. The findings also show that CSI has a positive relationship with social value creation. Furthermore, the findings reveal that local embeddedness strengthens the path between first social mover MNCs, CSI, and social value creation path. These findings have important implications for CSI and international management research as well as the growth and management of MNCs operating in emerging markets in sub-Saharan Africa.

跨国公司在新兴市场的企业社会创新：前因、结果和边界条件

本研究探讨 (i) 社会先行者跨国公司（MNCs）与企业社会创新（CSI）之间的关系；(ii) 跨国公司的 CSI 对社会价值创造的影响；(iii) 本地嵌入性对社会先行者跨国公司、CSI 和社会价值创造之间关系的调节作用。本研究以社会企业家精神的行为理论为基础。研究收集了在尼日利亚--撒哈拉以南非洲一个社会和资源受限的新兴市场--运营的 150 家跨国公司的原始数据。研究结果表明，社会先行者跨国公司与 CSI 之间存在正相关关系。研究结果还表明，CSI 与社会价值创造之间存在正相关关系。此外，研究结果表明，本地嵌入性加强了社会先行者跨国公司、CSI 和社会价值创造之间的路径。这些发现对 CSI 和国际管理研究以及在撒哈拉以南非洲新兴市场运营的跨国公司的成长和管理具有重要意义。

期刊介绍： Management International Review publishes research-based articles that reflect significant advances in the key areas of International Management. Its target audience consists of scholars in International Business Administration. Management International Review is a double-blind refereed journal that aims at the advancement and dissemination of research in the fields of International Management. The scope of the journal comprises International Business, Cross-Cultural Management, and Comparative Management. The journal publishes research that builds or extends International Management theory so that it can contribute to International Management practice. Management International Review welcomes both theoretical and empirical work. Original papers are invited that are based on a solid theoretical basis and a rigorous methodology. In the area of empirical studies, the journal publishes both quantitative and qualitative research. To be published in Management International Review, a paper must make strong contributions and highlight the significance of those contributions to the field of International Management. The editors are especially interested in manuscripts that break new ground rather than papers that make only incremental contributions. Management International Review publishes articles and research notes. Every year, six issues are published. On average, two of these issues are Focused Issues, which concentrate on a specific subfield of International Management.
