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. In contrast, international co-production of movies strengthens the positive impact of gender diversity and the negative impact of ethnic diversity on international box office performance.

By using the data of 885 investments of Chinese family firms in 161 countries, this study finds that CIC size has a positive effect on the location choice of such firms. Moreover, the effect is strengthened by administrative and knowledge distances, weakened by global connectedness distance, and does not vary with relational distance.

From a real options perspective, this study conducted a content analysis of the annual reports of Chinese publicly-listed firms (2016–2021) to capture how these firms perceived the uncertainty stemming from decoupling and adjusted their investment strategies accordingly. 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. Our study sheds light on the manifestations of decoupling in firm-level investment strategies. Furthermore, the study answers the call to incorporate subjective judgment of uncertainty in the real options theory by revealing the impact of perceived uncertainty on different types of firm investments.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51357,"journal":{"name":"Journal of World Business","volume":"60 4","pages":"Article 101643"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143738736","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}

Based on this framework, we argue that while business-friendly formal institutions in the target country generally reduce the likelihood of CBA abandonment, the quality of informal institutions has a non-linear effect on CBA abandonment, and the location of the acquisition target in a global city reduces the likelihood of CBA abandonment.
