Drawing on paradox theory, we identify three core internationalization paradoxes in terms of top management team (TMT) orientations, organizational configurations, and strategic actions which arise from the fragmented but interconnected nature of the “new globalization.” We show how Haitian manages these persistent contradictions through integrated response mechanisms, involving realignment at the TMT level, organizational restructuring, and relocation of global value chain activities. By linking geopolitical disruption with firm-level adaptation, this study contributes to emerging research on how multinationals maintain global engagement under conditions of geopolitical uncertainty and decoupling.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47937,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Management","volume":"31 6","pages":"Article 101296"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145705675","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}

Findings reveal that market demand, regulatory environments, and strategic objectives significantly influence firms' decisions to adopt safe-shoring practices.

The study enriches ROT by identifying and analyzing specific resource-orchestrated capabilities developed by these firms and uncovers trade-offs encountered in their deployment.

Our findings provide empirical support for the human capital theory and resource-based view theory through disclosing that Qatarization effectiveness has a positive impact on both financial and non-financial performance. However, a higher proportion of Qatari staff by itself does not necessarily signal better performance and may, in fact, negatively influence non-financial outcomes. We further examine the complex institutional context and discover that stakeholder uncertainty attenuates the positive effect of Qatarization effectiveness on non-financial performance, while the presence of Qatarization expertise can counterbalance the adverse impact of high percentage of Qatari staff on non-financial performance. The results enhance our understanding of the complexities of nationalization public policies and their bearing on organizational performance in the Middle East, thereby emphasizing the necessity of strategic human resource management practices for effective human capital policy implementation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47937,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Management","volume":"31 5","pages":"Article 101272"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145011072","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}

To contextualize the contributions of this SI and shed light on how SPR research has evolved over time, we first examine recent methodological trends in the field. We conducted bibliometric analysis of 829 SPR-related papers published in top management journals between 2019 and 2023 to identify recent changes in the use of methodologies in SPR scholarship. This analysis demonstrates that SPR research had some methodological diversity, relying predominantly on regression analysis, followed by case studies<span><span>, textual analysis, and discrete choice modeling<span>. Certain methods were used more frequently than others for studying specific types of SPRs. Our findings also revealed dissatisfaction with aggregate measures of SPRs, leading to increased use of content analysis for improving the understanding of SPR's multidimensionality. To address some of these gaps and to take SPR scholarship to the next methodological level, we selected seven pioneering papers for this SI. Two SI papers explain the use of Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) for studying the multifaceted nature and subjectivity of SPR. The SI introduces two novel datasets: one on lobbying for the analyzing corporate political activities of foreign firms in the US and another on nightlights data for SPR analysis. Three innovative measures offered in the SI's papers are especially useful for measuring specific SPR aspects such as nationalistic political rhetoric, grassroots socio-political sentiments, and cross-national information distance. These contributions aim to extend our understanding of SPRs within international management domain by emphasizing the need for </span></span>methodological pluralism and interdisciplinary approaches when studying SPR.</span></div></div>","PeriodicalId":47937,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Management","volume":"31 5","pages":"Article 101264"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145011076","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}
