A limited but growing number of studies have begun exploring the nuances of DPFs and their unique internationalization processes. However, looking across research domains, the body of literature is substantial, albeit fragmented. With this paper, we provide a systematic review of the literature on the internationalization of DPFs with an emphasis on understanding their characteristics, internationalization patterns and typologies. We aim to provide a deeper understanding of the internationalization of DPFs and the distinct factors that influence this process. We believe that such a timely, comprehensive review will help international business and management scholars chart a clear path for future research. In addition to integrating existing literature, we highlight key gaps and inconsistencies in current knowledge and propose future research paths particularly informed by the distinct typologies of DPFs that have emerged from our analysis.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51357,"journal":{"name":"Journal of World Business","volume":"60 4","pages":"Article 101629"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143918495","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 International Business, the challenge has typically been met with an array of strategies, ranging from listwise deletion to more sophisticated approaches, including regression-based imputation. Current models for addressing missing values where data is bounded have several limitations. We present a new model for imputing values for bounded data via endpoint-heterogeneous beta regression. We use this approach to generate imputed values for additional countries in Hofstede's long-term orientation (LTO) scale. LTO was the first widely used scale to be based on a non-Western value system, however, Hofstede was not able to collect LTO data for some countries that were part of his original survey and therefore the LTO measure has numerous missing values. Our paper introduces a novel approach to addressing missing values in LTO and provides a template for scholars facing similar challenges in a wide range of IB and other domains.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51357,"journal":{"name":"Journal of World Business","volume":"60 4","pages":"Article 101644"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143791986","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}

However, these relationships are contingent on movie genre (culture-neutral versus culture-sensitive) and international coproduction of movies. A culturally neutral genre with universal appeal weakens both the positive impact of gender diversity and the negative impact of ethnic diversity on international box office performance.

The data show that the perception of decoupling uncertainty, and associated concerns of the economic downturn and profitability, triggered Chinese firms to defer overall investments. The impact is limited to manufacturing industries where investment typically is more irreversible, and private firms’ investment decisions are more subjective to the uncertainty. Moreover, the impact differs across different types of investments: decoupling uncertainty affects capital expenditure but not R&amp;D investment.
