A total of 15,696 observations included in 32 studies spanning 2004–2021 revealed a positive association between legitimacy and performance with a close to medium effect size. We found that enterprises in Asia and Africa were more inclined than those in North America and Europe to utilize legitimacy to direct performance. In addition, innovative industries and industries adopting innovative strategies significantly moderate the association between legitimacy and performance. Regarding different dimensions of legitimacy, the results demonstrated that general, regulatory, and environmental legitimacy play vital roles in moderating the legitimacy-performance relationship. This article is the first review to combine bibliometric analysis and meta-analysis to synthetically prove that legitimacy positively correlates with the performance of enterprises.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8474,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Management","volume":"41 4","pages":"2179 - 2212"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2023-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48616098","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many past studies and anecdotal evidence have pointed out that business groups may behave more opportunistically when they are politically connected. However, the nature of the business group-government relationship evolves amid governance reform in many countries, making it difficult for business groups to abuse their political connections. In this research, we examine the business group-government relationship through the lens of social exchange and find a deterring effect of political connections on a connected business group’s propensity to commit fraud. Our results indicate that business groups are less likely to commit financial fraud when the extent of their political connection is high. By doing so, politically connected firms can prove themselves as legitimate business partners for the government and can more effectively secure a position to leverage their political connections. We additionally find that such an exchange relationship is weakened under a business group-unfriendly government due to their hostile relationships.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8474,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Management","volume":"41 4","pages":"2119 - 2153"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2023-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138532930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on a sample of 1,125 listed firms in China from 2016 to 2019, our study finds that government-initiated CSR promotes financial performance while decreasing innovation intensity.

The study is based on firms listed on NSE 500 from the year 2008 to 2019, and the results suggest that CSR significantly improves investment efficiency in the post-mandate regime. There exists an optimal CSR level that instigates an inverse U-shaped relationship. We also investigate the impact of CSR on the speed of adjustment of capital investments towards the target in case of deviations. High-CSR firms are found to adjust swiftly to their targets since such firms tend to deviate less and incur low adjustment costs. Only the governance dimension of CSR seems to affect the firms’ speed of adjustment in the current context. The positive association between CSR and adjustment speed is pronounced only in the post-mandate period. Also, CSR seems to affect the speed of adjustment only when firms are operating above the target.</p>","PeriodicalId":8474,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Management","volume":"41 4","pages":"1963 - 1988"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2023-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45656292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The question, then, is when such experience benefits firm innovation, and when it does not. Adopting a resource-substitution perspective, we posit that the difference occurs because certain local resources can play a significant moderating role. Specifically, a private entrepreneur’s foreign-study-enabled human capital becomes less influential in driving firm innovation when the foreign-educated entrepreneurs participate strongly in the political system, or when the firm has a high level of guanxi––each of which enables the firm to achieve a local resource advantage over other firms, without the need for enhanced innovation. In contrast, foreign-study-enabled human capital becomes significantly influential in the context of high local marketization. We used the data from a series of nationwide surveys of privately owned firms in China to test these ideas. Regression results based on negative binomial regression models showed that returnee entrepreneurs’ participation in the political system, and firms’ guanxi, each substituted for the role of the returnee entrepreneurs’ foreign study experience in fostering firm innovation, thus rendering such experience no longer significant for firm innovation in the presence of strong political participation or guanxi. In contrast, entrepreneur foreign-study experience led to advantageous firm innovation in the context of higher local marketization.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8474,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Management","volume":"41 4","pages":"2021 - 2057"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2023-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46126208","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this study is to explore how frugal entrepreneurs embrace institutional voids in a developing country to identify and execute business opportunities targeting low-income customers. Using six start-up cases from Pakistan, this qualitative study contributes to the existing literature on FI and FE in several ways. We reveal certain underlying mechanisms that entrepreneurs utilize in their attempt to undertake FI. We find that the entrepreneurs’ strong aspirations to tackle societal needs trigger them to develop FIs and pursue FE. Constructive cobbling and leveraging appropriate technologies in a frugal manner, in particular, are two key enablers for FE, which results in novel outcomes.
