Conversely, individualistic CEOs make a positive contribution to green reporting at higher quantiles. CEOs with a background in masculinity culture show positive associations with green reporting at specific quantiles. However, CEOs from uncertainty avoidance cultures are less likely to produce green reports at 85% and 90% quantiles. CEOs with long-term orientation cultural backgrounds show a positive relationship at the 15% quantile. CEOs from indulgent cultural backgrounds do not exhibit a significant relationship with green reporting.

Many scholars have identified the factors that impact IP of MNCs, but the focus on digitalization is limited. Therefore, using the digitalization lens, this study aims to explore the critical factors (CFs) of MNCs' IP. This study utilizes modified-total interpretive structural modeling (m-TISM) and MICMAC analysis to develop a hierarchical model that outlines the relationship among identified CFs impacting IP of MNCs. A five-level hierarchical model is developed. The findings present that risk acceptance, international orientation, digital capability, institutional voids, and cultural distance experienced by MNCs are the driving factors that impact IP of MNCs. Using the internationalization and dynamic capability theory, this study enhances the understanding of dynamics between identified CFs of MNCs' IP. The proposed hierarchical model provides a structural framework that helps practitioners and researchers understand the interrelation among CFs of MNCs' IP and digitalization in the rapidly evolving landscape of international business.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47515,"journal":{"name":"Thunderbird International Business Review","volume":"67 5","pages":"533-551"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144767937","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}

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.

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.
