We argue that female directors enhance their influence on board decisions by promoting diversity practices, which enable firms to leverage their unique perspectives more effectively. Furthermore, we posit that advocacy for diversity decreases as women’s board representation reaches a critical mass. Lastly, we link diversity practices to enhanced firm adaptability in complex business environments. By investigating the mediating mechanisms through which gender-diverse boards influence international strategies, our research addresses gaps in the literature on board diversity, entry modes, and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.

Drawing on the behavioral theory of the firm, we identify the relationship between innovation performance feedback and the internationalization of specific venture firm types (i.e., emerging challengers) that are motivated to adopt both slack search and problemistic search. We then further explore the moderating effect of two ownership types (i.e., internal principal and international outsidership) on this relationship. Using a sample of 300 venture firms, our results show that innovation performance feedback is vital in encouraging firms’ internationalization. This relationship is further strengthened by firms’ internal and external ownership competence.

While resilience is increasingly acknowledged as a critical capability, it remains unclear how suppliers develop resilience when conventional GVC governance strategies, often grounded in institutional stability, prove insufficient. This gap is especially pronounced in knowledge-intensive service sectors like software development, where codification, coordination, and inter-firm trust are central but often disrupted by political instability. This study examines the resilience of GVC suppliers operating in politically unstable regions of South Asia, particularly India and Pakistan. It focuses on the role of governance mechanisms—such as codification, managing complexity, and supplier capabilities, on supplier resilience. It also investigates how trust moderates these relationships. Drawing on Transaction Cost Economics (TCE) and the Dynamic Capabilities View (DCV), we argue that these governance mechanisms function not only as efficiency enablers but also as dynamic governance adaptations that suppliers actively mobilize to survive and adapt. A quantitative analysis using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was conducted on survey data collected from 100 software firms. The results show that task codification and management of task complexity enhance supplier resilience. It further reveals that trust negatively affects the links between task codification and resilience, challenging the conventional assumption that trust uniformly strengthens GVC relationships. The core theoretical contribution of this study lies in extending TCE and DCV by showing how resilience is enabled through external governance adaptation and by rethinking trust as a conditional, context-dependent mechanism rather than a universal good.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51352,"journal":{"name":"International Business Review","volume":"34 6","pages":"Article 102465"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145026661","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}

Multinational corporations are facing the selection dilemma that expatriates are equipped with the strongest capability, but they still underperform. To address the puzzle, we explored the nonlinear relationship between emotional intelligence and cultural intelligence, and further examined its effects on expatriation outcomes. Drawing from cognitive-appraisal theory, results from a two-wave survey of 405 expatriates revealed an inverted U-shaped relationship between emotional intelligence and motivational cultural intelligence, and a positive relationship between emotional intelligence and behavioral cultural intelligence. Specifically, high levels of emotional intelligence can exert a detrimental effect on the development of motivational cultural intelligence, while facilitating behavioral cultural intelligence. These effects further impact expatriation outcomes. In addition, perceived cultural distance is found to moderate these relationships. The findings challenge the conventional assumption that cross-cultural ability is positively and linearly related to performance. This study contributes to the expatriation literature by unveiling the intriguing myth: the strongest ability does not always equate to the best fit.

We explore the establishment of enterprise–customer value cocreation systems that subsequently enhance export product quality. Collecting registration data from 160,000 enterprises across China’s three major business-to-business CBEC platforms and matching them with microlevel enterprise data from Chinese Customs and the China Industrial Enterprise Database spanning 2000–2015, we empirically examine the impact of participation in CBEC platforms on Chinese manufacturing firms’ export product quality and the underlying mechanisms. The findings reveal that CBEC platform engagement significantly improves Chinese manufacturing enterprises’ export product quality. Mechanism analysis indicates that the network effects of these platforms enhance firms’ innovation capabilities, facilitate export product transformation, and improve transaction matching efficiency, elevating product quality. These positive effects vary depending on trade type, firm size, regional digital infrastructure, and platform characteristics. Specifically, enterprises with lower export technology complexity, multiproduct portfolios, those engaged in general trade, and those located in regions with advanced digital infrastructure or participating in medium-to-large platforms exhibit more pronounced export quality improvement through CBEC. Furthermore, export product quality is more significantly enhanced as firms strengthen capabilities by using these platforms. These findings have substantial theoretical implications for research on cross-border digital platforms and manufacturing enterprises’ internationalization. They also provide robust empirical support for firms implementing digital export strategies to achieve “brand globalization.”</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51352,"journal":{"name":"International Business Review","volume":"34 5","pages":"Article 102466"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144694439","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}
