However, it remains unclear how this resilience-oriented strategy relates to MNEs’ parallel efforts to improve supply base sustainability performance (SBSP). Drawing on transaction cost economics and the literature on supply chain governance, we argue that increasing SBID lowers MNEs’ costs of switching away from suppliers with poor sustainability performance, while simultaneously raising the costs of monitoring sustainability across heterogeneous supplier-country contexts. Together, these countervailing mechanisms suggest an inverted U-shaped relationship between SBID and SBSP. We further argue that this relationship is moderated by an MNE’s own sustainability performance, its relational embeddedness with its suppliers, and the institutional distance between its home country and supplier countries. Our analyses of 320 U.S. firms listed in the S&P 500 over the period 2010–2019 support our hypotheses. Our findings highlight the tension that MNEs face in simultaneously enhancing the resilience and sustainability performance of their supply base and indicate that SBID should be optimized rather than maximized to balance these dual objectives.","PeriodicalId":48453,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Business Studies","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148899039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some scholars suggest that digitalization will enhance the benefits of export activity by facilitating connections with partners and customers. Others, however, suggest that digitalization will simply fail to live up to the hype—or perhaps even worse. This debate is especially relevant for SMEs given that export activity is the primary route to global markets for such firms. We propose that digitalization will exert dual effects on SMEs: on the “bright” side, larger investments in digital technologies will lead to greater export activity (i.e., higher export sales); on the “dark” side, however, digitalization-induced export activity will generate fewer learning opportunities from export partners (i.e., smaller productivity gains). The proposed hypotheses were tested and supported using detailed firm-level panel data from 20,133 Portuguese firms from 2010 to 2019. Additional analyses and case studies corroborate the proposed mechanisms and point to hybrid approaches as one possible way to balance these dual effects of digitalization. Taken together, the findings shed new light on the debate about the role of digitalization in internationalization efforts.","PeriodicalId":48453,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Business Studies","volume":"76 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148899040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examines how directors with professional experience in a subsidiary country help boards govern these challenges. Drawing on boundary-spanning theory, we argue that such directors improve headquarters’ evaluation of subsidiary innovations and expand the scope of knowledge that headquarters draws upon. Using 8,264 firm-country-year observations for U.S.-headquartered MNEs from 2000 to 2021, we find that headquarters-based directors with experience in subsidiary countries are positively associated with both subsidiary innovations patented in the home market and headquarters’ use of subsidiary–country knowledge reflected in patent citations. Both relationships are amplified by knowledge distance, the divergence between home and subsidiary-country innovation systems, because directors are most consequential when headquarters’ cognitive frameworks are most misaligned with the subsidiary context. The findings contribute to international business, corporate governance, and innovation research by showing how board composition shapes where innovation is supported and which foreign knowledge enters headquarters-led R&D. Practically, MNEs can improve global innovation governance by matching directors’ international experience to the countries in which their subsidiaries operate.","PeriodicalId":48453,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Business Studies","volume":"379 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148899024","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on compositional logic and the Leverage–Linkage–Learning (LLL) internationalization framework, this study conceptualizes a newly emerging Common Facility Center (CFC)-based ESP that aims to enhance production capabilities as a leverage-oriented type, while classifying traditional programs as learning- and linkage-oriented ESPs. Given that ESPs are more salient in emerging markets, we examine both the direct effects of CFC-based ESPs and their synergistic impact when combined with traditional ESPs on SME export performance using a matched dataset of 150 Pakistani SMEs from 2019 to 2022. This study finds that participation in CFCs not only directly enhances firms’ exports but also amplifies the effectiveness of leverage- and learning-oriented programs particularly in the emerging market context. Moreover, the synergistic effects of combining CFC-based and traditional ESPs are further strengthened by an SME’s absorptive capacity, highlighting the role of internal capabilities in maximizing external support benefits. By pioneering the investigation of production capability-focused CFCs as leverage-oriented ESPs, this study extends the SME internationalization literature by offering practical insights for policymakers and managers in emerging markets on integrating government support with firm-level capabilities to achieve superior export outcomes.","PeriodicalId":48453,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Business Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.6,"publicationDate":"2026-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148409225","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite increased recognition of interdisciplinary collaboration, IB scholars remain unclear about how to rigorously integrate historical methods and insights from Business History. In this special issue introduction, we address the impediments to closer interdisciplinary collaboration between the two disciplines. We identify three critical points of clarification: temporal distance, archival sources, and historical contextualization. We propose integrative research designs that embed historical analysis directly into IB theorizing. Such research designs enable IB scholars to address causal questions, explore legacy effects, and develop time and context-sensitive theories. Historically-contextualized IB research can explain why standardized theories fail in specific contexts, reveal path-dependent sequences that quantitative snapshots miss, and develop theories that account for deep institutional and temporal variation. We establish evaluation criteria for rigorous historical research and create bridges between IB and Business History scholarship. By clarifying concepts, providing research designs, and modeling best practices, this special issue expands IB’s explanatory capacity for the time-embedded, context-sensitive phenomena that define international business.","PeriodicalId":48453,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Business Studies","volume":"62 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.6,"publicationDate":"2026-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148409228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In an era of rapid technological change enabled by artificial intelligence, blockchain, and robotics, geopolitical volatility fueled by trade wars and violent conflicts, and increasing sustainability demands, multinational corporations (MNCs) need to rethink how they are involved with diverse stakeholder expectations, prioritize flexibility and reversibility, and embed co-creation and legitimacy alongside efficiency. Extending Brouthers et al. (2022), we integrate transaction cost economics with resource-based, institutional, opportunity, and ecosystem perspectives to explain how MNCs configure and reconfigure various constellations of international involvement modes over time to address rapidly changing stakeholder expectations. We further synthesize papers in the special issue on international involvement to provide empirical and theoretical insights into complex, non-linear internationalization trajectories, framing international involvement as an adaptive, interconnected system better suited to today’s multi-objective global business environment.","PeriodicalId":48453,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Business Studies","volume":"64 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.6,"publicationDate":"2026-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148409227","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
