An Actor-Based Perspective On Informal Cross-Border Trading
Informal cross-border trade (ICBT) is a prevalent business practice that involves trade by agents who wholly or partly evade payment of duties and charges. Employing an actor-based lens that situates the traders within the broader political economy of border governance, we explore the persistence of ICBT despite government initiatives aimed at fostering the formalisation of trade. Using a qualitative case study of the Simplified Trade Regime at t…
Integrating host-country political heterogeneity into MNE–state bargaining
The international business (IB) literature has emphasised the heterogeneity of firm strategies in shaping MNE–state bargaining, but largely ignored the heterogeneity of states. In contrast, the international political economy (IPE) literature provides a more nuanced consideration of state strategies and their economic and political priorities. We seek to address this oversight by making two related contributions. In the context of MNE–state barga…

Quasi-internalization, recombination advantages, and global value chains
The Oxford Handbook of International Business Strategy
The present volume discusses the progress made in progress made in the theory and practice of international business (IB) strategy in the last few decades. The book captures the differences in motivations and decision-making processes between smaller and larger firms, private, family and state-owned, emerging or developed market multinational enterprises (MNEs). The book highlights how the increasingly uncertain conditions in the IB environment d…

A comment on the multifaceted relationship between multinational enterprises and within-country inequality
Purpose Whether by direct or indirect action (or by inaction), multinational enterprises (MNEs) can have both a positive and a negative effect on within-country social and economic inequality. This paper aims to comment on this multifaceted relationship between MNEs and within-country inequality. Design/methodology/approach Given the absence of either robust theory or evidence in the neglected realm of MNEs and within-countries inequalities, this…
Location, collocation and innovation by multinational enterprises
The distribution of creative economic activity over space has been viewed from three distinct perspectives: International business focuses on the multinational enterprise and the location of activities across national borders; economic geography studies the characteristics of the location site; and innovation scholars are mainly concerned with the technologies and knowledge that arises from the interaction of location and the creativity of actors…
Does FDI Cause Development? The Ambiguity of the Evidence and Why it Matters
Globalization of Innovation
Economic globalization implies a growing interdependence of locations and economic units across countries and regions. Technological change and multinational enterprises (MNEs) are among the primary driving forces of this process. This article attempts to evaluate the changing extent and importance of MNEs as conduits for cross-border knowledge flows. MNEs affect the development and diffusion of innovations across national borders through a numbe…

Strategic Partnering by EU Firms
Industrial Development, Globalization and Multinational Enterprises
Globalization has changed economic realities. First, the competences of multinational enterprises (MNEs) are becoming increasingly mobile and knowledge-intensive. MNEs thus give more attention to the availability and quality of the created assets of alternative locations. Second, among developing countries there are now considerable differences between the catching-up countries (e.g. newly industrialized countries) and falling behind , less devel…

Dunning, ‘Developing Countries versus Multinational Enterprises in a Globalising World: The Dangers of Falling Behind’, Forum for Development Studies, 1999: 2, pp. 261–287. This article makes five main points. First, economic globalisation has affected regions and countries unevenly and this is reflected in the configuration of multinational enterprise (MNE) activity. Second, the failure of most of the developing world…
