Abstract

IB scholars have started to increasingly recognize the value of complementing traditional IB theories with behavioral insights to understand the diversity of current MNE behaviors. Within this emergent microfoundations literature, the analysis of how performance feedback impacts internationalization decisions is a research stream that has started to attract significant interest particularly during the last years. However, existing literature is fragmented, focusing on diverse research foci, metrics and conceptualizations of performance feedback, thus leading to inconclusive empirical results. To address this problem, we carried out a systematic literature review on performance feedback IB research. The review has three objectives: (1) document and describe the current IB literature on performance feedback; (2) identify themes of shared scholarly interest and pertinent research tensions; and (3) propose a research agenda aiming to advance a more rigorous and cumulative application of performance feedback in IB research for a better understanding of current MNE behaviors.

绩效反馈与国际商业研究：回顾与未来方向

IB学者已经开始越来越多地认识到用行为见解来补充传统IB理论的价值，以理解当前跨国公司行为的多样性。在这些新兴的微基础文献中，对绩效反馈如何影响国际化决策的分析是一个研究流，特别是在过去几年中开始引起人们的极大兴趣。然而，现有文献碎片化，研究焦点、指标和绩效反馈概念不一，导致实证结果不确定。为了解决这一问题，我们对绩效反馈IB研究进行了系统的文献综述。本综述有三个目标：(1)记录和描述当前IB关于绩效反馈的文献；(2)确定共同学术兴趣和相关研究紧张的主题；(3)提出一个研究议程，旨在推动绩效反馈在IB研究中的更严格和累积的应用，以便更好地理解当前的跨国公司行为。
