Much of the extant literature on MNEs' investments in R&D facilities abroad analyses technological and institutional factors at the national level, typically using regressions to examine how host-country institutions influence foreign MNEs' outlays. It, therefore, tends to downplay the importance of sub-national and non-technology-related institutions, and how configurations of home- and host-country institutions interact to influence R&D commitments abroad. Drawing on the global factory model and the Varieties of Capitalism approach, we identify five causal conditions that may influence MNEs' R&D commitments abroad. Conducting an abductive fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis, we find four combinations of causal conditions are sufficient to explain substantial R&D commitments in different Chinese provinces. The combination of local corruption and provincial R&D intensity is important, as are the MNE's home-country stock-market capitalization to GDP ratio and minority investor protection. We contribute to the literature on MNEs' investments abroad by extending the importance of sub-national institutions to include those not directly related to technology. We also reveal how combinations of institutions (rather than individual ones acting independently) from the MNE's home and host contexts explain MNEs' R&D commitments in Chinese provinces.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47937,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Management","volume":"30 4","pages":"Article 101158"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1075425324000395/pdfft?md5=67cbcb6c255389e4f0763f83b7c016a2&pid=1-s2.0-S1075425324000395-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141144846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Scholars have emphasized the need to explore the various kinds of state capitalism and to advance our knowledge of its influence on the international activities of firms, beyond that it exerts on SOEs. We proposed the concept of state capitalism as embodied by an omnipresent state that influences the internationalization of both state-owned and private firms.

Employing difference-in-differences (DID) and propensity score matching (PSM) methodologies, our findings indicate that, compared to inbound cross-border M&As, proactive outbound cross-border M&As promote firms' exploitative R&D but inhibit total and exploratory R&D. EMEs engaged in outbound and inbound cross-border M&As exhibit distinct R&D orientations. The effects of outbound cross-border M&As on firms' R&D are moderated differently by government subsidies and the intensity of regional intellectual property protection. Further analysis underscores the advantages of participating in cross-border M&As (firms as acquirers and targets) over domestic M&As. Moreover, outbound cross-border M&As increase firms' substantial innovation outputs. Our study further proves that what drives the results is not solely the international dimension of M&As; proactive engagement in outbound cross-border M&As holds greater significance.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47937,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Management","volume":"30 4","pages":"Article 101155"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141050391","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}

This study employs both thematic and content analysis using academic sources and professional documents such as business cases, newspaper articles, and specialized blogs. The goal is to bridge the gap between industry and academia on additive manufacturing in international business. Our integrated view from both academia and industry reveals how the adoption of additive manufacturing has several potential benefits, ranging from the shortening of the value chain, enhanced customer relationships through higher levels of customization, and a more sustainable production pattern with reduced environmental impact compared to traditional manufacturing. Along with the benefits, this study illustrates a few challenges that might hinder the adoption of additive manufacturing in international business, with theoretical and practical implications.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47937,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Management","volume":"30 3","pages":"Article 101151"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2024-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1075425324000322/pdfft?md5=1218511580dc1dc8c63f992ab84d2538&pid=1-s2.0-S1075425324000322-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140756052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, home country governments pursue their own foreign policies independently of business, forging international linkages with other countries in pursuit of tangible benefits. But what happens when a government forges connectivity to a country which exhibits volatility or generates geopolitical shocks? This paper examines this question by studying the response of European stock markets to the ongoing (since 2014) Russian invasion of Ukraine. Using a variety of metrics to measure political connectivity, we distinguish between anti-Russian governments and governments which are more favorable to Russia during this period, combining this connectivity data with a new database of sanctions and war-related events. Applying asymmetric GARCH, panel estimations, and event study methods, we find that the uncertainty caused by Russian aggression in Ukraine has harmed financial markets in countries such as Serbia and Hungary, countries which have willingly forged connections with Russia during this time. Consistently, our empirical results show that, by tying a country to another one via political means, politicians also have tied the fortunes of their capital markets to the success or failure of this partner.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47937,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Management","volume":"30 3","pages":"Article 101141"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2024-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S107542532400022X/pdfft?md5=70d9be7f2670c247afe662c175ded7db&pid=1-s2.0-S107542532400022X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140270830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
