This paper conceptualizes serendipity as evolutionary drift and draws on the theory of <em>neutrality</em> from evolutionary biology to quantify the degree of serendipity that born-global firms (BGs) adopt in pursuit of opportunities modeled as a set of performance peaks on an evolutionary performance landscape. Using an enhanced version of NKC methodology, computer simulations test variations among BGs in terms of their organizational structure, levels of complexity, and the degree of neutrality, which is used as a proxy for reliance on serendipity in opportunity search. Contrary to expectations of an inverted U-shaped relationship between serendipity and BG performance, the simulations provide strong evidence for a U-shaped relationship. In other words, performance is higher when BGs rely on either a high degree of serendipity (high neutrality, wide scope of opportunity search, high level of exploration) or a low degree of serendipity (low neutrality, narrow scope of opportunity search, low level of exploration). In more practical terms, this finding suggests that BGs can achieve high performance in their opportunity search by putting their employees or subunits either on a “tight leash” (low serendipity) or on a “loose leash” (high serendipity) in pursuit of opportunities but should avoid medium degrees of serendipity.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51352,"journal":{"name":"International Business Review","volume":"34 4","pages":"Article 102361"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144239869","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 a riskier context with numerous roadblocks to international trade and investment, this study found support for the behavioral perspective, showing that under- and over-performing firms in that challenging context tended to export more as a result of problemistic search and slack search, while the firms performing around their aspiration levels tended to export less. And this effect proved stronger for smaller firms and non-state enterprises. In contrast, when the conditions for international expansion turned less risky, due to reduced trade barriers, clearer rules and adjudication, the better-performing, larger, and state-owned firms with more resources tended to engage in more exporting activities than others, supporting the resource-based explanations for taking fairly bold strategic action. Based on data from China’s pharmaceutical firms in a time of major institutional change during the pre- and post-WTO periods, this study revealed that firms’ incentives and propensity for undertaking exports change, with changes in the context and the relevant risks. This underscores the importance of selecting and applying theories judiciously when examining firms' international expansion behaviors, particularly given significant contextual change.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51352,"journal":{"name":"International Business Review","volume":"34 1","pages":"Article 102358"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142663078","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}

In this paper, we explore how MNCs seek to address challenges associated with structural inequalities to achieve greater equality in employment outcomes for refugees. To do so, we draw on the refugee employment literature, industry evidence, and business reports. Our findings reveal that MNCs require global and national-level responses to address structural inequalities associated with vertical, horizontal, or internal inequalities. We synthesise these inequalities into a conceptual framework and illustrate the need for MNCs to balance standardisation vs localisation strategies in human resource and diversity management, sourcing and supply chain management, corporate social responsibility, marketing and branding, and external engagement. Such MNC strategies contribute to refugees’ ability to navigate structural factors that create employment inequalities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51352,"journal":{"name":"International Business Review","volume":"34 1","pages":"Article 102357"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142662965","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}

To answer this research question, we use the method of historical analysis and attempt to synthesize literature streams on international business history and technological paradigms to trace this evolution. Drawing insights from this synthesis and building on evolutionary theoretical approaches in IB, we argue that three elements - (i) technological (T), (ii) global institutional (G), and (iii) local institutional (L) – are key to understanding the spatial development of technological knowledge in IB, as these elements enable, expedite, or constrain technological and organizational change in MNEs within a paradigm and during periods of paradigmatic shifts. We conclude with a case illustration of a firm founded in the 1700s to assess its responses to (and actions that may have prompted) the shifts in the T, G, and L elements across the three technological paradigms – mechanical (1780–1880), electromechanical (1880–1980), and digital (1980-present).</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51352,"journal":{"name":"International Business Review","volume":"34 1","pages":"Article 102356"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142662961","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}
