The study also examines how R&D-manufacturing colocation and the parent firm’s technological competence moderate the relationship between host country IP regimes and expatriate utilization. Using a global dataset of South Korean MNEs, this paper finds support for a U-curve relationship between the strength of host country IP regimes and the MNE’s expatriate staffing levels in manufacturing subsidiaries. The results also reveal that the U-shape relationship is strengthened by R&D-manufacturing colocation but weakened by the parent firm’s R&D intensity. These findings provide important implications for research and practice pertaining to MNE management in different IP regimes in general and expatriate utilization in particular.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51352,"journal":{"name":"International Business Review","volume":"34 1","pages":"Article 102324"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142662966","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}

We examine the relationship between government R&D support and export intensity, mediated by innovation, in a balanced panel of 289 innovative exporters in China. Leveraging the knowledge-based view, we also explore the roles of financial bonus incentives (an extrinsic motivator) and employee suggestions (an intrinsic motivator) as moderators to contribute to the debate on what type of motivators work best. This study contributes to the export and innovation literatures by showing that government support for R&D facilitates innovation and that innovation in turn facilitates exports. Further, the study shows that both extrinsic and intrinsic motivators moderate the staged relationships, but they affect different stages with bonuses moderating the R&D support – innovation relationship and suggestions moderating the innovation – export relationship.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51352,"journal":{"name":"International Business Review","volume":"34 1","pages":"Article 102345"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142662959","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}

We then integrate the concept of firm heterogeneity into the real options framework, suggesting that factors such as bargaining power, experiential capability, and the modernized governance structures of local partners can aid MNEs in effectively responding to positive market cues. By analyzing the Chinese Industrial Survey Database published by the Chinese National Bureau of Statistics, we find support for the influence of MNEs’ experience and local partners’ modernized governance structures on MNEs’ implementation of the real options strategy, with the exception of ownership levels.

This necessitates further theorizing that departs from the presupposition that HCNs and expatriates interact physically. It integrates the particularities of working virtually to understand if and how the virtual context affects the provision of HCN support for expatriates, and whether related social categorization and identification processes work differently as part of virtual assignments. We draw on social identity and construal level theory and develop a conceptual model explaining the emergence of three types of HCN support that virtual assignees can receive, i.e., emotional support, appraisal support, and informational job support. We focus on the interplay between social categorization mechanisms and higher-level construals and, thus, more interpersonal neutrality and social disengagement originating from the virtual work context. We contribute by deriving a set of propositions that outlines the varied consequences of performing the expatriate job role virtually, with a particular focus on the provision of different types of support for expatriates by HCN co-workers.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51352,"journal":{"name":"International Business Review","volume":"33 6","pages":"Article 102341"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S096959312400088X/pdfft?md5=52395fdb0ded9ce6ce1625dd3a3b0d37&pid=1-s2.0-S096959312400088X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142220226","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We explain that mere knowledge access is distinct from the enactment of knowledge, and this matters for LBE. Despite growing interest in how firms enhance product innovation performance through exporting and thus, LBE, previous literature has remained silent on the role played by strategically induced changes to organizational routines when learning. We hypothesize that some exporters will introduce organizational innovations – aimed at changing internal practices and routines – which then allows them to enact new knowledge and enhance innovation performance following engagement in export markets. We study our hypotheses, using panel data of 1489 medium-sized manufacturing firms taken from the Mannheim Innovation Panel, the German contribution to the Community Innovation Survey (CIS). We find LBE effects solely amongst firms which adopted organizational innovations during the studied period. Further, our findings revealed that the extent and type of organizational innovation markedly influences LBE. Our study uses a novel context to explain that it is the presence and extent of organizational innovations which influence firms’ abilities to enhance product innovation performance following international engagement through exports.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51352,"journal":{"name":"International Business Review","volume":"33 6","pages":"Article 102339"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0969593124000866/pdfft?md5=9054581cb9c1410d64b364488697c746&pid=1-s2.0-S0969593124000866-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142230653","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
