Using a recently developed news-based index of geopolitical risk, our empirical analysis shows an inverse U-shaped relationship between IKGPR and firm risk-taking in South Korea, implying that South Korean firms’ risk-taking increases with IKGPR when IKGPR is low but becomes prudent when IKGPR is high. Such an effect of IKGPR on firm risk-taking is weaker for firms that survive wartime (1900–1969) and is stronger for firms that were established after the Second Korean War (1966–1969), suggesting the role of corporate resilience to geopolitical risk in motivating differences in corporate behaviors. Further analyses indicate that South Korean firms tend to take less risk when the nuclear risk is higher and when they are more technology-oriented.

Embedded within research on behavioral micro-foundations in strategy, and based on the resource-based theory (RBT) of the individual entrepreneur as well as positive organizational behavior literature, we hypothesize that SME leaders’ psychological resources can act as a strategic advantage during crises by making them adopt cost-cutting and investment measures for their companies performance. By using a sample of 372 SMEs, we find that while leaders mostly use both measures, leaders with a high PsyCap prefer adopting investment measures, which positively influences the performance of their companies during a crisis. However, adopting cost-cutting measures lowers performance. We contribute to the entrepreneurship literature by using PsyCap in the context of the RBT of the individual entrepreneur and shedding light on which measures sustain or increase SMEs’ performance during a crisis.

We underline the significance of cultural context in influencing follower outcomes and, thus, integrate a gender-cultural perspective to highlight the moderating role of gender inequality on a country level. In so doing, we postulate a strong relationship between the effects of actual/desired behaviors of servant leaders upon follower work outcomes, especially in contexts where gender inequality is high. Our results from documenting the perceptions of full-time employees ( n = 2,960) across 10 countries using polynomial regression analyses show that followers’ turnover intentions are lower and work engagement is higher when there is a congruence between followers’ perception of servant leadership and desired servant leadership. Moreover, we found that followers’ well-being is higher when actual and desired servant leadership is congruent as opposed to incongruent. In addition, the results show that the beneficial impact of congruence (as opposed to incongruence) is stronger in the cultural context where gender inequality is high. We contribute to the literature by showing the important impacts of (in)congruence between desired and actual servant leadership on followers’ outcomes.

For example, little is known about how these activities affect the development of team identification, an important emergent state with critical implications for new product performance. This study extends our understanding of this topic by exploring the relationship between team boundary spanning and team identification. This relationship is examined via the intervening mechanisms of team potency and team boundedness and the moderating effect of intra-team communication. Data from a time-lagged survey study of 140 NPD projects revealed that team potency and team boundedness, respectively, positively and negatively mediate the relationship between team boundary spanning and team identification. Intra-team communication was found to reduce the negative effect of team boundary spanning on team boundedness.

Consistent with the novel market equilibrium, we contend that the exponential growth of socially responsible investment (SRI) has rendered the risk-adjusted returns of large CSR-leading firms in line with or even below their lagging counterparts. In line with the neglected effect, greater market segmentation, lower market efficiency, and lower investor awareness of CSR enable us to observe the former market equilibrium in the smaller corporation partition, where CSR-lagging firms exhibit lower returns than leading ones. We thus theorize a two-stage CSP–CFP relationship, where size effects are considered a relevant moderator. This contention is robust to portfolio and panel regression settings. However, our partly contradicting results with the existent literature emphasize the divergence in ESG ratings across rating agencies.

Maicas","doi":"10.1177/23409444231164170","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/23409444231164170","url":null,"abstract":"Creative Commons Non Commercial CC BY-NC: This article is distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 License (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/) which permits non-commercial use, reproduction and distribution of the work without further permission provided the original work is attributed as specified on the SAGE and Open Access page (https://uk.sagepub.com/aboutus/openaccess.htm). Over the past decade, BRQ Business Research Quarterly has undergone a complete transformation from a publication with a predominantly domestic orientation to one with a clear international vocation. One manifestation of this evolution has been an impressive and unexpected increase in the number of original submissions received, from 183 in 2014 to 510 in 2022. As a result of this evolution, the structure of the journal has also been modified accordingly. Following my appointment as editor-inchief, and at the suggestion of the previous editor, an intermediate link between the editor-in-chief and the associate editors was established, in the form of senior editors. These senior editors have made an extraordinary contribution by conducting a preliminary evaluation of submissions that merit further consideration. BRQ has now expanded its editorial organizational structure to include 4 senior editors and 26 associate editors. Moreover, a new advisory board has been established, comprising of the three former editors of the journal. This initiative has been implemented to strengthen the long-term strategy of the aforementioned journal. Given the previously discussed context and almost a decade since the former Cuadernos de Economía y Dirección de la Empresa (CEDE) became BRQ Business Research Quarterly, it appears to be an appropriate moment to assess the evolution, achievements, and future challenges of BRQ. In this editorial, Alejandro Escribá and Yama Temouri, both former associate editors of the journal, and colleagues provide an analysis of how BRQ has developed since 2014, when it adopted a new strategy to enhance its international reputation as a top-tier management journal. By actively engaging with and encouraging contributions from authors, reviewers, and editorial board members, BRQ is working toward building a sustainable network of stakeholders who are committed to the journal’s mission and values. The continued support and participation of former associate editors, such as Alejandro and Yama, demonstrate the journal’s ability to foster longterm partnerships with its community. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Alejandro’s and Yama’s teams for their selfless dedication to this analysis. Their continued involvement with BRQ after the completion of their editorial duties is a testament to the journal’s ongoing efforts to foster a strong and committed community. As BRQ continues to evolve and grow, it is vital to maintain the trust and confidence of its stakeholders.

Furthermore, we test whether firm’s corporate governance mechanisms strengthen such search behaviors. This study reports that negative performance feedback positively influences firm problem-driven search behaviors, whereas positive performance feedback positively impacts its innovative search behaviors. Furthermore, we find a significant negative moderating influence of board strength, while a mixed positive influence of board effectiveness on firm performance feedback to carry out distinctive search behaviors. Therefore, we think that these findings would help the regulators and policy makers to strengthen their existing corporate governance mechanisms and regulations.

Recent studies have argued that firms can combine exploration (exploitation) capabilities with exploitation (exploration) partnerships to surmount this obstacle. However, little is known about how accumulated capabilities for exploring and exploiting activities shape the ways in which firms select partnerships. We examine this question by leveraging a unique data set on new product development in the Brazilian manufacturing sector that has 19,081 observations over a 14-year span. Contrary to the expectation of complementarity, in which the greater capability of one type (e.g., exploitation) is associated with selecting a partnership of another type (e.g., exploration), our findings suggest that increases in capabilities of any type are associated with exploration partnerships. We provide alternative explanations for our findings, highlight implications for theory and practice, and discuss potential avenues for future research.

This work focuses on the phase starting when companies file for bankruptcy and ending with the completion of the common phase. We apply the agency theory to explain how insolvency administrators and court characteristics influence the outcome of the bankruptcy process (liquidation or reorganization). We analyze unique accounting data from 2,627 companies that filed for bankruptcy during the period 2008–2014. The findings reveal the significant roles played by the liquidation trustee, Big 4 administrators, and higher remunerations, along with the type of court in charge. Processes are more likely to result in reorganization if they are handled by specialized courts, managed by the Big 4, and if the insolvency administrator has longer experience in bankruptcy filing and receives a higher remuneration. These findings have important implications for all the agents involved. It is necessary to rationalize the filing process, foment better training for insolvency administrators, provide courts with more funds, and create more specialized courts. The principal contribution of this article is to examine the role played by insolvency administrators and the courts, and their influence on the outcome of the insolvency process.
