Our results reveal two distinct resilience trajectories. Subsidiaries that exhibit a transformative resilience cycle engage in promotive resistance before disruption, followed by proactive adaptation during disruption and deep-level learning afterward, enabling them to ‘bounce forward’ to a stronger state. In contrast, subsidiaries following a stabilizing resilience cycle adopt defensive resistance, reactive adaptation, and surface-level learning, resulting in a return to pre-crisis conditions (‘bouncing back’). These findings uncover the critical processes determining whether and how subsidiaries maintain resilience over time.

Therefore, relying on institutional theorizing and qualitative evidence from 34 interviews with executives of mature MNE subsidiaries in Nigeria, this paper documents three insidious institutional challenges encountered by mature MNE subsidiaries: the organisational identity conundrum (‘us vs them’), limited attention to social capital discordance (‘bonding capital vs trust capital’), and persistent intention contradictions (‘elaborate politically correct rhetoric vs limited believable action’). The study also identifies three corporate governance-related themes that mature MNE subsidiaries can utilize to manage institutional challenges: enhanced local stakeholder engagement, elevated accountability drivers, and digital technology and innovation deployment. The study advances international business literature as it sheds theoretical as well as practical insights into how mature MNE subsidiaries operating in a weak institutional context can overcome insidious institutional challenges.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47937,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Management","volume":"31 4","pages":"Article 101258"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144595763","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By taking a particular industry and geographic perspective, the case study unveils the respective underlying de-globalization drivers and the management strategies adopted by the German automotive industry. Within this industry, the primary de-globalization driver is predominantly shaped by a geopolitical force unfolding its negative effects, especially due to the global automotive value chain's opaqueness and fragility. De-globalization pressures are navigated through a de-risking approach that strategically balances diversification to enhance flexibility, while encapsulating independent regional ecosystems. In contrast to prevailing expectations, the de-globalization phenomenon, characterized as an inverse form of globalization, does not inherently lead to multinational firms' de-internationalization; rather, it surprisingly presents opportunities for heightened firm internationalization. This renders the terminology of de-globalization currently applied in the literature inherently ambiguous and inconclusive. Consequently, beyond the drivers and management strategies of de-globalization, this study refines terminological clarity, elucidating the puzzling disparity between the prevailing de-globalization narrative and absence of multinational enterprises' discernible de-internationalization responses, proposing that the phenomenon is better labeled as re-globalization.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47937,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Management","volume":"31 4","pages":"Article 101253"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144595762","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We differentiate between gender, a surface-level diversity type, and sexual orientation, a deep-level diversity type to test whether differences between these groups explain differential effects on perceptions of threat resulting from power shifts. Additionally, we argue that suppression of local stereotypes by global social norms regarding equal opportunity and fairness is more likely to occur when individuals perceive a need to adhere to international behavioral frames. Hence, we examine firm international proactiveness as a moderator of associations between threat perceptions and trust in coworkers. Within a sample of 841 respondents across ten Latin American countries, and controlling for country-level characteristics, we find that diversity type matters, and that social norms regarding equal opportunity and fairness become more relevant to the extent that a firm is perceived to be more oriented towards global markets. Our findings suggest that organizations may increase trust among coworkers –an indicator of inclusion– by increasing awareness of concerns of less visible minority groups and by emphasizing supra-national social norms.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47937,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Management","volume":"31 4","pages":"Article 101255"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144595760","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Surprisingly, limited studies have explained how and why a firm can enhance its likelihood of engagement in outbound open innovation activities by collaborating with universities, especially foreign ones. Building on the knowledge-based view (KBV), first, we differentiate the effects of collaborating with foreign versus domestic universities, since these create scientific knowledge that varies in novelty and ease of transfer. Second, based on these two knowledge dimensions, we argue that foreign university collaboration is more likely to have a higher positive association with outbound open innovation than domestic university collaboration, because the former has higher knowledge novelty than the latter. Third, however, when firms also collaborate with domestic value chain partners, collaborating with domestic universities is likely to have a higher positive association. We tested these arguments on 541 firms in New Zealand and found that collaborating with foreign universities has a positive association, especially when the universities are located in developed economies.

A better understanding of calculative trust, cognitive trust, and the progression from calculative to cognitive trust can facilitate the achievement of this goal. Well-managed conflicts can enhance trust-building between partners (prospective or current), supporting over time alliance formation and stability. Conflict can be changed from accustomed negative perceptions to a force for good, following a problematisation approach. In our typology, we explore the link of each procedure with calculative trust, cognitive trust, and the transition between calculative and cognitive trust.
