We systematically review 74 articles interconnected with the accumulated but fragmented knowledge on this theme and chart important shortcomings in the existing research. To focus future academic debate and discussion, we therefore propose an integrated conceptual framework that merges this dispersed body of literature, which comprises four core and interconnected themes – knowledge and internationalisation, entrepreneurial orientation, strategy and performance, web resources, and innovation, capabilities and ambidexterity. In doing so, we uncover the role played by dynamic capabilities and the importance of ambidexterity in the adoption, modification or reconfiguration of born-global firm resources. Our review also reveals future research paths hereby identified to support and guide academics and researchers seeking new fields of study and correspondingly demonstrates the need to deepen studies approaching the dynamic capabilities and ambidexterity in these companies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47937,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Management","volume":"30 1","pages":"Article 101099"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2023-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1075425323000960/pdfft?md5=306dabf22295a6aff6b7f0c3d219508e&pid=1-s2.0-S1075425323000960-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138687601","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}

This non-linear relationship points to the fact that countries with better institutions are likely to generate more intense flows of social remittances. However, they also allow for faster socio-economic integration of migrants and may weaken diasporas' interest and direct financial engagement in entrepreneurial projects in the country of origin.

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":"30 3","pages":"Article 101109"},"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}

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":"30 1","pages":"Article 101084"},"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}
