We provide eight propositions that define a responsible exit from a sanctioned regime. This study offers insights into the multifaceted nature of strategic exits thus articulating ethical dilemmas faced when exiting from foreign markets amid sanctions-induced challenges, real or perceived.

This study explores this issue by investigating Vietnamese timber exporters in the context of US-China economic sanctions. Taking a case study approach, interviews were conducted with key government and industry officials as well as firms in Vietnam. Using the key concepts from the realism school of thought and the stakeholder theory as the analytical lenses, we found that third countries’ businesses encountered both positive and negative impacts of the sanctions and employed four strategies, namely aligning, aspiring, influencing, and insulating to respond to the challenges and opportunities these sanctions presented. This study contributes to identifying the notion of temporality and explaining how and when third-country firms intertwine both reactive and anticipatory strategies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51357,"journal":{"name":"Journal of World Business","volume":"59 6","pages":"Article 101583"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1090951624000634/pdfft?md5=3a129fb2f7ab10a58d2fb394266b1183&pid=1-s2.0-S1090951624000634-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142021131","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}

A particular focus is put on the differentiation between first and second generation migrants. We find that cultural identity impacts migrants’ cultural and language bridging skills, prompting differences not only between generations but also within them. On this basis, we establish two sub-groups of first generation migrants: those with a <em>separated identity</em> (heritage culture is dominant) and those with an <em>ambiguous identity</em> (often unclear which culture dominates); similarly, we find two sub-groups of second generation migrants: those with an <em>integrated identity</em> (well-balanced combination of heritage and mainstream culture) and those with an <em>assimilated identity</em> (mainstream culture is dominant). We further ascertain that migrants with an <em>integrated</em> identity possess the highest degree of cultural and language bridging skills and, thus, constitute the best bridging agents in comparison to the other sub-groups. Our study provides a more nuanced understanding of migrants’ cultural identity formation and their impact on skilled migrants’ cultural and language bridging skills. In addition, it demonstrates the need to consider inter- but also intragenerational differences, when studying the impact of highly qualified migrants in organizational contexts.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51357,"journal":{"name":"Journal of World Business","volume":"59 6","pages":"Article 101571"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1090951624000518/pdfft?md5=4037ad0ade887c442627682ca6647a79&pid=1-s2.0-S1090951624000518-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141891758","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}

This study employed a quasi-experimental design to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of different strategies grounded in equity theory for mitigating freeloading behavior in GVTs. The study used a sample of 2,022 GVTs comprising 12,536 business students from 43 countries who, for two months, worked on international business consulting projects. The results indicate that freeloading could be significantly reduced if the performance management system promotes a sense of equity and fairness by visible monitoring of individual effort coupled with the threat of reciprocations for insufficient contributions. Importantly, making a lack of individual effort visible through regular peer evaluations but taking no immediate punitive action could reduce perceived fairness and actually increase freeloading. The implications of these findings for practice and future research are discussed.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51357,"journal":{"name":"Journal of World Business","volume":"59 5","pages":"Article 101566"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141542353","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}
