However, so far, the research literature has paid little attention to the important phenomenon of established MNEs that seek to build and replicate digital business models across borders and how they do this. MNEs often rely on established networks in foreign markets, build digital business models on top of existing non-digital businesses, and usually adapt digital business models to local circumstances. Hence, their digital internationalization approach cannot rely on uniform replication of a business model or international scaling, the replication approaches typically highlighted in the literature. Relatedly, the international digitalization strategies of established MNEs involve distinct management challenges that are not currently well understood. To improve the understanding of these challenges, we undertake a qualitative analysis of the cross-border replication of two digital business models by Telenor, a major established firm in the telecom industry. We summarize our findings and analysis in six propositions about the management of digital business model replication across borders by established MNEs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47937,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Management","volume":"31 6","pages":"Article 101294"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145705669","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}

Combining contingency theory and organizational learning theory and using a unique dataset of 3240 French exporting SMEs, we reveal that the risk of cargo hijacking significantly affects SMEs' export strategy in a rather unusual way: when exposed to this risk SMEs tend to enter new export markets to offset the potential loss of affected destinations and maintain a diversified export market portfolio. Moreover, the propensity to enter new markets when exposed to a cargo hijacking risk is amplified by the diversity of experience the firm has acquired through operating in contexts characterized by varying levels of country risk. However, a firm's length of experience in foreign export markets has no significant moderating effect, thus reaffirming that not all experience is equal. We contribute to extant research on SMEs' internationalization and exogenous risks by highlighting that cargo hijacking constitutes not only a risk, but also an opportunity for firms to expand into new markets. We also reveal that it is the diversity, rather than the length of international experience, that plays a key role in strengthening export market expansion.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47937,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Management","volume":"31 6","pages":"Article 101310"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145705662","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}

Drawing on the institutional escapism perspective, we show that EMNEs proactively adjust ownership structures to navigate institutional adversity. Moreover, firm-level political ties (e.g., government ownership) moderate these effects, especially under political instability, constraining firms' ability to escape. We further explore how military ties between home and host countries shape ownership decisions amid rising geopolitical tensions.

Internationalisation between developed and developing countries presents institutional complexities for both outward (exporting) and inward (importing) activities, which can be particularly challenging for resource-constrained SMEs. While prior research has largely examined inward and outward internationalisation in isolation, the potential synergistic role of diaspora networks across both directions remains underexplored. Addressing this gap, we draw on network theory and conduct a qualitative case study of a UK-based healthcare SME using interviews and documentary analysis. Our findings show that diaspora networks play a crucial role in accelerating internationalisation by bridging institutional voids, transferring cultural and market-specific knowledge, enhancing credibility, expanding network access, and enabling the development of culturally adapted products and services. This study contributes to network theory by illustrating how diaspora networks' dual embeddedness creates unique advantages over traditional networks in supporting healthcare SMEs' inward and outward internationalisation and has important managerial and policy implications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47937,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Management","volume":"31 6","pages":"Article 101306"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145705678","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}

Formal institutions define a country's incentive structures and, therefore, affect firms' decisions to allocate financial slack to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities, which impact CSP in turn. Our findings are based on a large dataset of firms across 38 countries. Our multilevel study expands prior research on the financial slack-CSP relationship by demonstrating how the relationship depends on the formal institutional context.

The rise of social media platforms, in particular, has sparked growing concern over their impact on individual behaviour, political discourse, and the management of personal data. These concerns have led to mounting institutional pressure from governments and the public, especially around issues of content curation, moderation, and data security. Responding to such pressures is complex for platforms, as they operate across multiple jurisdictions with overlapping yet often contradictory institutional demands. This paper investigates the institutional pressures faced by social media platforms in host-country contexts, focusing on their influence over users through content moderation and data governance. It examines how these platforms deploy nonmarket strategies to navigate these challenges, using TikTok's operations in the US market as a case study. The findings reveal that despite persistent scrutiny from the US government, TikTok has employed a range of nonmarket actions. These include direct actions such as enhancing content moderation and pursuing legal avenues, as well as indirect approaches like mobilising its user base. This study offers insights into the unique political challenges social media platforms encounter in host-country contexts and highlights the platform-specific strategies they develop to address these pressures.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47937,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Management","volume":"31 6","pages":"Article 101293"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145705668","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}
