Governmental officials can wield their influence on firms to align corporate actions with their political incentives, which vary according to their career stage. We propose that officials at the end of their terms are more risk-averse and, therefore, tend to discourage high-risk business. Focusing on cross-border acquisitions by Chinese firms, we found that during the one-year period before political turnover, these acquisitions manifest in lower stake sought. Additional analyses suggest that the reduction in the risk level of cross-border acquisitions during political turnover periods varies according to the politician's risk-taking propensity and firms' vulnerability to the politician's influence in their jurisdictions. By highlighting officials' political incentives associated with political turnover, this study provides novel insights into research on cross-border acquisitions in emerging markets.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47937,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Management","volume":"31 5","pages":"Article 101276"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145011078","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}

Comparing 1060 SMEs from 4 advanced and 11 emerging and developing economies, and accounting for the SME's national culture, our study departs from universalistic assumptions about the role of resources as a barrier to SME internationalization. SME internationalization research has often emphasized nations' economic status to explain why and when firms expand globally; we demonstrate that its effects are conflated with culture, obscuring critical dynamics in the process. Our findings extend RBV theory by introducing “<em>cultural resource valuation</em>” as a key mechanism, highlighting, for instance, a more nuanced role for networking capabilities in supporting the successful internationalization of SMEs than previously argued. We conclude that both managers and policymakers must recognize this cultural contingency, as Western-derived generalizations may misalign with domestic trade imperatives in diverse contexts. Doing so offers both theoretical nuance and practical guidance for SME internationalization.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47937,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Management","volume":"31 5","pages":"Article 101275"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145011071","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}

Technology- and human-based networks are the prime drivers of connectivity. The development of information and communication technologies, together with the movement of people across borders, has dramatically accelerated collaboration on a global scale, fostering innovation, cultural exchange, and economic prosperity. Yet, connectivity is a double-edged sword. The increasing interconnectedness of our world also uncovers the <em>liability of global connections</em><span>, which renders countries and organizations more vulnerable to disruptions, particularly under certain conditions. We discuss how different forms of connectivity face distinct threats when disruptions occur, depending on the source and predictability of such disruptions. A key pillar of our analysis is the focus on the complex interplay between human and technological factors in shaping our interconnected world and the implications for firms, especially multinational enterprises (MNEs). Carefully analyzing the composite portfolio of connectivity by balancing the technological and human factors is a core strategic requisite to ensure resilience and renewal for MNEs in a complex, interconnected world. We provide a more comprehensive perspective on global connectivity in the international business context to understand the complexities of disruptions. Building on a rich foundation, we offer an agenda outlining new avenues for future research to improve our collective understanding of global connectivity in a world of disruptions.</span></div></div>","PeriodicalId":47937,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Management","volume":"31 5","pages":"Article 101280"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145011074","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 intergroup threat theory (ITT), we argue that while the realistic threat of loss of power is similar across minority groups, differences in the extent to which groups are stigmatized and the application of social norms regarding equal opportunity and fairness explain different effects of threat perceptions on trust. 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":"2025-08-01","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}

Although the international business literature offers valuable insights into the significance of corporate governance mechanisms, institutions, and institutional environment relationships, a practical understanding of what insidious institutional challenges are and how they can be addressed using corporate governance mechanisms, especially in weak institutional environments, is less researched. 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":"2025-08-01","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}
