This study adopts a configurational perspective, employing fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) and necessary condition analysis (NCA) to examine the pathways through which six antecedent conditions—spanning three dimensions: GVC structural governance, GVC managerial governance, and industry dynamism—affect organizational resilience. The results indicate that digital platform integration, digital platform reconfiguration, supplier integration, customer integration, technological dynamism, and market dynamism do not serve as necessary conditions for enhancing organizational resilience. The study identifies six distinct configurations that contribute to organizational resilience, revealing a “convergent” effect. These configurations can be classified into four categories: “structural-managerial governance synergy-driven,” “market dynamism-oriented,” “technological dynamism-oriented,” and “structural governance-driven.” Additionally, one configuration was found to result in lower organizational resilience, primarily due to ineffective coordination between GVC structural governance and managerial governance. These findings offer a deeper understanding of the complex interactions between various factors influencing organizational resilience, providing both theoretical insights and practical guidance for firms seeking to strengthen their organizational resilience.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47515,"journal":{"name":"Thunderbird International Business Review","volume":"67 4","pages":"513-530"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144191048","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using hierarchical regression analysis, the study analyzes panel data from 2001 to 2020 to assess the effects of globalization on early-stage and established entrepreneurship and its impact on unemployment. The Sobel test is applied to determine whether entrepreneurial activity mediates the relationship between globalization and unemployment. The findings show that in the United Kingdom, globalization supports both early-stage and established entrepreneurship, contributing to lower unemployment. In South Africa, however, globalization primarily benefits established businesses, while early-stage entrepreneurial ventures face structural challenges such as limited access to finance and regulatory inefficiencies. These results highlight the importance of a strong entrepreneurial ecosystem in ensuring that globalization leads to broad-based business growth and job creation. The study emphasizes the need for targeted policy interventions to improve institutional support, particularly in emerging economies, so that early-stage businesses can integrate into global markets and contribute to sustainable economic development.</p>","PeriodicalId":47515,"journal":{"name":"Thunderbird International Business Review","volume":"67 4","pages":"487-497"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/tie.22438","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144190806","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present paper fills this research gap by investigating the influence of corruption on earnings management of firms operating in the BRICS nations, which are either under common or code law at prima facie. Further, we make a novel attempt to examine the moderating role of cash holdings and cash flow in explaining this association. Our data includes 329 nonfinancial listed firms with 1552 firm-year observations ranging from 2014 to 2021. Using system GMM approach, we find that higher corruption leads to higher earnings management in five emerging BRICS nations. We also gather that managers operating in highly corrupt countries tend to hold high cash levels, maintain a higher cash flow, and engage 3.5%–3.8% more in earnings management. Our results are robust to both the measures of earnings management (real-activity-based and accrual-based). Our findings have significant implications for executives and directors of firms if earnings management is considered illegal in any of these countries and such law is enforced. In addition, our study would share important insights to the external stakeholders, such as investors, policymakers, and regulators.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47515,"journal":{"name":"Thunderbird International Business Review","volume":"67 3","pages":"413-428"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143749974","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Delphi Technique is used to identify the elements of the EE; Best Worst Method (a multi-criteria decision-making method) is employed to quantify their contributions to the health and performance of the EE. Availability of finance, government programs, physical infrastructure, entrepreneurial culture, legal infrastructure, entrepreneurial education and training, and ease of shutting down emerge as key health factors. Innovation and research serve as a crucial mediating factor. On the performance front, entrepreneurial perception of market dynamics, intentions, value creation, networking, mentoring, perception about entrepreneurship, self-efficacy, activity, and employment opportunities emerge as influential factors. The study proposes two indices to measure EE health and performance. This standardized approach can help compare EEs, identify intervention opportunities, offer holistic industrial insights, and aid investment decisions. The existing indices, like the Global Entrepreneurship Index, do not consider the regional context and assume the contribution of all elements of the EE as equal.

Given the potentially existential threat posed by political crises, this study examines subsidiary responses to political risk. The focus is on the effect of firm crisis experience, threat perception, and managerial social embeddedness on the stay-or-exit decisions. With data from senior managers of 107 MNCs in Mozambique, we test three hypotheses. We find that the crisis experience of the MNC is a significant predictor of managers' threat perceptions (H1). While threat perception positively affects the likelihood of subsidiary exit (H2), the social embeddedness of the subsidiary manager dampens that relationship (H3). Threat perception does not necessarily drive exit likelihood, as subsidiaries led by socially embedded managers with high levels of social interactions with Mozambican and foreign friends are less likely to exit. These findings contribute to the literature on subsidiary-level political risk management and underscore the significance of social embeddedness and crisis experience in shaping subsidiary resilience to political instability. For managers, these results highlight the value of fostering strong local networks and crafting flexible risk management strategies. Such insights are crucial for navigating the complexities of international markets during political turmoil.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47515,"journal":{"name":"Thunderbird International Business Review","volume":"67 3","pages":"361-375"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143749937","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
