Additionally, we conducted a bibliometric analysis focused on AI and the strategic planning process to collect data for our literature review. The resulting framework highlights the evolution and adoption of AI for strategic planning, facilitating the connection between new strategies, particularly in contexts of resistance to change. Our study explores potential disruptions affecting talent retention and loyalty. Findings show that effective integration of AI, supported by strong management practices, reduces employee turnover risks and enhances employee commitment. Employees who actively contribute and believe in this technology tend to embrace a culture of innovation more readily. Moreover, they become more resilient, playing a crucial role in supporting strategic planning efforts, thereby providing benefits for navigating crises and uncovering sustainable strategies. Lastly, theoretical findings suggest that future studies on strategic areas, such as sustainability, HR, performance, and innovation reveal the need to develop a diverse and collaborative workplace culture.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47515,"journal":{"name":"Thunderbird International Business Review","volume":"68 2","pages":"251-265"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146139703","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 panel data of 881 firm-year observations from 57 multinational firms (2005–2023), we find that valuation effects depend on governance quality. Profitability (ROA) is rewarded only in strong rule-of-law environments; elsewhere, it has little or even negative impact on price-to-book ratios. R&D intensity is penalized in highly regulated environments, where export controls, compliance costs, and uneven intellectual property enforcement may delay commercialization and elevate perceived risk. Financial leverage is more positively valued in politically stable countries, indicating greater investor tolerance for debt under reduced macro-political uncertainty. While focused on semiconductors, these findings extend to other capital-intensive, innovation-driven sectors. Aligning performance signals with institutional contexts can enhance investor confidence and improve valuation outcomes in global markets.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47515,"journal":{"name":"Thunderbird International Business Review","volume":"68 2","pages":"239-249"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146139793","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}

Utilizing a combination of risk-adjusted return metrics, Value at Risk (VaR), Conditional VaR (CVaR), wavelet coherence, and Quantile Vector Autoregression (QVAR), the analysis reveals that while tourism equities offer the highest risk-adjusted returns, they also carry significant downside risk—particularly during periods of financial distress. Wavelet analysis uncovers pronounced short- and medium-run volatility in tourism stocks, and QVAR results demonstrate high spillover intensity, with connectedness surpassing 83% in both bull and bear markets. Notably, conventional and green equities do not consistently serve as effective hedges for tourism investments, although green bonds may offer some diversification benefits during stable periods. These findings may offer indicative evidence for international investors, financial analysts, and policymakers aiming to improve asset allocation, enhance risk awareness, and inform investment planning in tourism-dependent economies.

International marketing is a complex process involving different actors across borders. The literature has often examined marketing at specific points in time. However, the evolution of marketing processes and international service firms because of interactions among different actors remains unknown. Actor-network theory is adopted as a powerful tool to highlight complex and dynamic processes challenging the conventional approach of international business. It employs the case study method. A multi-method approach is used, where semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and secondary data are triangulated. The findings demonstrate that actor-network theory offers a relational network perspective and an alternative view to see international business in a more processual manner. Theoretically, this study extends the conceptualization of marketing, opening avenues for international business. Managerially, it suggests considering non-business actors into account to comprehensively understand the processes.</p>","PeriodicalId":47515,"journal":{"name":"Thunderbird International Business Review","volume":"68 2","pages":"177-190"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/tie.70015","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146154945","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 emphasis is on how blockchain and digital twin technologies can be applied to improve asset maintenance activities. Following a systematic review of the existing literature and the development of a model, the research methodology involves the use of structured questionnaires and semi-structured interviews—a mixed-methods approach based on operational data on the asset's functionality. The findings from the asset data suggest that the adoption of blockchain and digital twin technologies substantially enhances the effective functionality of assets installed in telecoms-based stations. However, the intricacy of integrating these 4IR technologies with conventional assets, as well as evidence from questionnaires and interviews, further suggests that they provide a foundation for the digitalization of maintenance methods, resulting in substantial improvements in operational and maintenance effectiveness and efficiency. The blockchain and digital twin technologies accelerate a predictive maintenance method by proactively identifying unexpected asset failures, thereby lowering mean time to repair and operating expenditures.</p>","PeriodicalId":47515,"journal":{"name":"Thunderbird International Business Review","volume":"68 2","pages":"139-163"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/tie.70020","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146139657","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}
