IB scholars need to move beyond incremental improvements to existing research agendas and focus on questions that are fundamentally new to the field. With this essay, we address four pressing topics (Buckley, Doh, &amp; Benischke, 2017), namely: (1) the resurgence of populism, decoupling, and globalization; (2) disruptive technologies and digitalization; (3) sustainable development goals; and (4) the changing power relationships between firms, and between firms and governments. Our aim is to provide direct avenues for relevant new research that challenges the existing orthodoxy across the IB field.

Drawing on resource dependence theory, we argue that foreign firms are likely to decrease their investment scale in countries with deficient soft and hard infrastructures to reduce uncertainty. We further propose two strategies to mitigate the negative effects of infrastructure deficiencies. First, foreign firms can adopt an <em>influencing</em> strategy, increasing their influence on the host government to alleviate the negative impact of soft infrastructure deficiencies. Second, a <em>shielding</em> strategy can be employed to reduce dependence on the host government, particularly when dealing with hard infrastructure deficiencies.

Our investigation explores another side of interstate cooperation by discussing the potential risks that can emerge from it. Our fulcrum for exploring risks comes from an explicit consideration of the divergent interests that can exist between nation states and business. We focus on the phenomenon known as bilateral treaties on extradition, which enable one country to request the repatriation of fugitives or convicted criminals from another country through official cooperation. Extradition treaties extend the jurisdictional influence of a firm's home country to a host country. This mechanism can create concerns for firms when they are motivated to use FDI to escape from their home country, especially from certain emerging markets with weak institutions. We propose that emerging market firms can be motivated to circumvent host countries that have established extradition treaties with their home country. Both private-owned and state-owned enterprises can show this behavior, albeit the effect is weaker for state-owned enterprises as compared to private-owned ones. The effect is particularly strong on firms that have documented malfeasance in their home country. We test these ideas on outward FDI made by Chinese firms in 106 foreign countries during 2001–2013.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51357,"journal":{"name":"Journal of World Business","volume":"59 4","pages":"Article 101542"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2024-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140547197","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}
