{"title":"A conceptual reappraisal of risks in the implementation of BRI after COVID-19: Best strategies to learn for CMNEs in BRI projects","authors":"Sheetal,&nbsp;Daviender Narang,&nbsp;Gursimranjit Singh","doi":"10.1002/tie.22338","DOIUrl":"10.1002/tie.22338","url":null,"abstract":"<p>This study is aimed to propose a quantitatively supported framework regarding different types of risks involved in BRI and strategic solutions to neutralize the risks. The conceptual model and related propositions are advanced, based on bibliometric and science mapping analysis of 367 articles published over 6 years about risk, success, failure and dissent about the projects, and strategies to mitigate these risks. The descriptive statistics and science mapping approaches using co-citation analysis were performed with VOSviewer software. A co-citation analysis, coupled with content analysis of most co-cited articles, uncovered four underlying research streams, including “Infrastructural expansion and political &amp; economical risks,” “Investment choice through impact assessment and cultural risks,” “Environmental risks,” and “Real outcomes of BRI projects and viewpoint of host countries.” Among the four strategies identified, developing trust in the Chinese system can be created through National Branding by Chinese MNEs to mitigate the geo-political risks. Second, Guanxi neutralizes the reputation risks and cultural friction in collaborative projects and positively affects BRI project implementation. Third, the localization of management and processes can also help in offsetting the environmental risks in post COVID scenario. Lastly, increasing multilateral funding for sustainable infrastructure can be used to boost financial capacity building and mitigate financial risk to a certain extent. The present study has been a novel attempt to relate current research themes to emerging areas under BRI. This study is one of its kind which focuses on reshaping the views of practitioners, researchers, and policymakers on the multifaceted areas and themes in the BRI research field, to examine the risks and a roadmap for future research.</p>","PeriodicalId":47515,"journal":{"name":"Thunderbird International Business Review","volume":"65 3","pages":"293-310"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45964515","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}

By employing the System General Method of Moment and data from 39 sub-Saharan African countries between 2004 and 2017, the study examines whether economic freedom (i.e., financial and business freedom) conditions the effect of financial inclusion on stability. Results from the study show evidence of a positive impact of financial inclusion on financial stability in sub-Saharan African economies. Again, the results depict that financial inclusion could better enhance financial stability in economies with a high level of economic freedom (i.e., financial and business freedom). The results suggest that policymakers should allow financial institutions to operate with the level of freedom required to provide services at the lowest possible price. Further, it is recommended that policymakers should ensure that administrative requirements are minimal, bureaucracy costs are lesser, and licensing regulations for startups and expansion of existing firms are friendly. With this, associated increases in business and financial freedom would have promising implications for the relationship between financial inclusion and stability.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Managerial Implications of the Study</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>This research is very vital for firms in both the financial and nonfinancial.

The study helps to understand the new era of Industry 4.0 and the importance of introducing digital innovation into organizations. A systematic review of the literature and studies on Industry 4.0 and digital innovation were synthesized to find answers to the research questions. To improve their manufacturing industry, organizations have implemented digital technologies such as augmented reality, robotic sensing, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, cyber physical systems, and remote sensing technologies. These technologies focused on automating logistics and supply chain systems, improving manufacturing system performance, and simplifying automated production systems. Because digital innovations save time and energy, employees can devote more time and energy to creative and innovative activities. Organizations should plan to implement digital technology in order to keep the environment healthy and sustainable while meeting the demands of customers, consumers, and the Industry 4.0 dimension.</p>","PeriodicalId":47515,"journal":{"name":"Thunderbird International Business Review","volume":"65 3","pages":"279-292"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/tie.22337","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45114956","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}

Yet, the internationalization largely failed to reflect local contexts. The consequent paucity of original local business thought, international or not, exposes non-American business schools to the raid of American-based massive open online courses which will prune off the mainstay courses at emerging market business schools. Deprived of a substantial share of their fee-paying students, the remaining docents at those schools will be less likely to publish altogether, including in fields that might sustain independent thought. Therefore, American-like international business research is likely to have a longer life, more narrowly focused on English-speaking countries and Europe, with even less of a contribution from emerging markets.</p>","PeriodicalId":47515,"journal":{"name":"Thunderbird International Business Review","volume":"65 2","pages":"223-228"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46697808","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}

Among the Seligman virtues, Justice and Courage show the greatest cleavage between the choices between characters. Respondents who side with the Roadrunner appreciate more what they see as fairness and leadership in the Roadrunner, while those who side with the Coyote appreciate more its bravery and integrity. Because MBA alumni respondents tend to have relatively homogenous training and goals, their expressed allegiances to either the Coyote or the Roadrunner characters of the Warner Bros. cartoon are likely to express culturally nuanced projections on the characters.

Drawing on the institution-based view and resource-based view, this conceptual piece develops an <i>Institution-Resource-Strategy</i> framework and proposes two types of strategies for AMFs under emerging market ownership, namely <i>arbitrage</i> and <i>avoidance</i>, each comprising three varying tactics. We illustrate our propositions using three cases of Japanese firms under Chinese ownership.
