Abstract

We explore multinationals’ de-internationalization at the onset of the 2022 Russia/Ukraine crisis, based on their CEO's political ideology. Using motivated cognition logic, we propose that the differences between conservative- and liberal-leaning CEOs regarding their attitudes toward change and social justice influence their receptivity to stakeholders’ demands regarding divestment. Using a sample of US MNCs, we find support for our arguments. This research is of scholarly importance as this crisis may intensify the terrains of contestation which multinationals represent for stakeholders that are making claims over their location decisions, often perceived as a sign of acceptance into a country's political actions.

自由派和保守派CEO对待去国际化的态度不同吗？关注2022年俄罗斯/乌克兰危机的爆发

我们基于跨国公司首席执行官的政治意识形态，探讨了跨国公司在2022年俄罗斯/乌克兰危机爆发时的去国际化。运用动机认知逻辑，我们提出保守派和自由派ceo对变革和社会正义态度的差异影响了他们对利益相关者撤资要求的接受程度。通过一个美国跨国公司的样本，我们发现我们的论点得到了支持。这项研究具有重要的学术意义，因为这场危机可能会加剧跨国公司代表利益相关者对其选址决策提出要求的争论领域，这通常被视为接受一个国家政治行动的标志。

期刊介绍： The Journal of World Business holds a distinguished position as a leading publication within the realm of International Business. Rooted in a legacy dating back to 1965, when it was established as the Columbia Journal of World Business, JWB is committed to disseminating cutting-edge research that reflects significant advancements in the field. The journal actively seeks submissions that propel new theoretical frameworks and innovative perspectives on International Business phenomena. Aligned with its domain statement, submissions are expected to possess a clear multinational, cross-border, or international comparative focus, while remaining pertinent to the study of management and organizations. JWB particularly encourages submissions that challenge established theories or assumptions, presenting pioneering or counterintuitive findings. With an inclusive approach, the journal welcomes contributions from diverse conceptual and theoretical traditions, encompassing allied social sciences and behavioral sciences. Submissions should either develop new theories or rigorously test existing ones, employing a variety of qualitative, quantitative, or other methodological approaches. While JWB primarily caters to scholars and researchers, it values contributions that explore implications for Multinational Enterprises and their management, as well as ramifications for public policy and the broader societal role of business.
