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}

This study employs a dual-lens approach to analyze the health and performance dynamics of the EE from an emerging economy-India. 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. Our research offers a comprehensive framework for evaluating and advancing EEs in emerging economies through a weighted framework for elements contributing to the health and performance of an EE respectively.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47515,"journal":{"name":"Thunderbird International Business Review","volume":"67 3","pages":"377-393"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143749787","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}

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}

Additionally, the empirical research was conducted in MNCs established in Central Europe, which is not a frequent subject of research. The research findings show that in the foreign subsidiaries of MNCs, during a pandemic, the results in HRM mediate the relationships between MSD and company's performance results in finance, innovativeness, and quality stronger than in the pre-pandemic time.

To capture French millennial perception, the study relies on the qualitative research methodology and on semi-structured interviews with a sample of 22 French graduate students born between 1996 and 1999 attending an elite business school in France. The findings of the research indicate that participants do share similar perspectives on leadership with other millennials around the world including the expectation for a collaborative leadership style, more human orientation, and global leadership competencies. However, they also distinguish themselves by expecting certain leadership competencies influenced by their national culture such as the need for an autocratic and coercive style, a hierarchical and legitimate approach to leadership, and the need for the leader to be charismatic. The findings of this study bring a new perspective to the generational cohort theory and show that the implicit leadership theory adds value to the study on generations and more specifically on millennials. The managerial implications are that organizations operating in France should adjust their human policies to the French millennials' perception and not have a global approach when hiring and managing elite business schools' graduates. Furthermore, it shows that an organization that implements a transformational leadership style will be more successful in attracting and retaining millennials. The main limitation of this research is that it is based on the view of millennials graduating from an elite business school in France and does not consider graduates from other fields or from other “grandes écoles”.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47515,"journal":{"name":"Thunderbird International Business Review","volume":"67 3","pages":"347-360"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143749958","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}
