However, two key challenges have limited progress so far: first, uncovering micro-macro relationships in complex, often nested, IB phenomena; second, applying the multiple theoretical lenses offered by IB to coherently explain relationships. This paper addresses these challenges of applying microfoundations in IB by proposing a <em>modular approach</em> to its foundational framework, Coleman's (1990) bathtub. By breaking down the bathtub into its component parts or modules, each module relates to a specific, independent relationship between two constructs, that can be theorized and tested. We provide clear definitions of how modular (mono, abridged, partial, or full) explanations can be used as a tool for conceptualization and research design. In addition to enhancing our theoretical precision, a modular microfoundations approach also provides the architecture for existing studies to be connectable to new work focusing on other modules. This holds the potential of creating a full microfoundations explanation and thereby a rigorous and cumulative means for theory building in IB. We call for scholars to adopt this modular microfoundations perspective to better tackle the important questions of our time for global business and society.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51357,"journal":{"name":"Journal of World Business","volume":"60 2","pages":"Article 101610"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142936629","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}

We challenge this approach as it is not feasible for a single firm to monitor and regulate hundreds of independent suppliers. We expand on this literature, particularly the cascading governance thesis, by considering suppliers as regulatory intermediaries and addressing the issue of regulatory quality. Through a case study of two Korean multinational first-tier suppliers in the apparel and electronics industries, we find that an MNE, as a lead firm, engages in a more prudent form of cascading governance than originally theorized, maintaining direct audits of sub-suppliers. First-tier suppliers exercised intermediary competence in facilitating the lead firm's cascading governance. However, faced with inconsistent lead firm demands and challenging host country environments, these suppliers had to compromise on regulatory quality and settle on “good-enough” compliance—a level of compliance that poses minimal risk to the firm while allowing them to prioritize production goals—over perfect compliance.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51357,"journal":{"name":"Journal of World Business","volume":"60 1","pages":"Article 101595"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142678499","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}
