Given the scarcity of understanding about the role of specific technologies enabling value creation through digital connectivity, we investigate how blockchain-based digital connectivity shapes value creation in international digital platforms and ecosystems (DPEs). Building on a comparative empirical analysis of international DPEs enabled by different types of blockchain technology, we develop a typology of blockchain-based connectivity in IB. The typology demonstrates how different blockchain technology types enable different kinds of connectivity, resulting in diverse approaches to value creation within newly emerging forms of DPEs. These findings contextualize the concept of digital connectivity, enabling more precise explanations of blockchain's adoption in DPEs, and expand the conceptualization of DPEs, with three new types emerging from the utilization of blockchain-based connectivity. Moreover, this interdisciplinary explanation reveals why certain features theoretically attributed to blockchain (e.g., decentralization, trust) do not always realize or support value creation in practice in IB based on the DPE business model.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47937,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2023-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1075425323001060/pdfft?md5=dd22ba59c33e25e5c8a86b1b241857eb&pid=1-s2.0-S1075425323001060-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138545385","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}

Amidst the most tumultuous of unprecedented global disasters, some MNEs still seem to thrive. While the MNE-disaster response literature often considers responses as deliberately planned actions, some organizations can simply find themselves at the ‘right place at the right time’ during disasters. Yet not all that MNEs seem able to leverage favorable chance events hidden within a disaster context. Accordingly, in this study, we apply the emerging theoretical lens of serendipity to theorize MNE disaster response, illustrated by Chinese MNE's responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. While disasters are expected to be detrimental to MNEs, this unprecedented crisis has shown mixed effects. We collect 89 articles from <em>Caijing</em>—an authoritative business magazine in China and conducted a qualitative analysis of manager-oriented discourse to investigate how the MNE managers made sense of the impact of COVID-19 pandemic. We use the emerging serendipity perspective to recast and interpret reasons behind these mixed outcomes, drawing attention to why some MNE managers were able to ‘connect the dots’ and perceive value in the unexpected. Overall, we advance a timely introduction of serendipity to the MNE disaster response literature and build a preliminary bridge between theory, practice, and chance.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47937,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2023-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1075425323000819/pdfft?md5=e0afa74b514dfad88d1d889b7bfc10e4&pid=1-s2.0-S1075425323000819-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138608179","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}
