Media as nonmarket influencer in international business
Media has emerged as a powerful yet under-theorized force shaping the nonmarket environments of multinationals (MNEs), particularly amid intensifying geopolitical tensions and ideological polarization. Drawing on mass communication theory, we conceptualize media, encompassing both institutional news media and social media platforms, as a distinct nonmarket influencer that actively constructs legitimacy, propagates geopolitical narratives, and acc…
Resilience duality in global turbulence
Digital innovation, platforms, and global strategy
Paradigm shift and theoretical implications for the era of global disorder
The rise of techno-geopolitical uncertainty
Toward a reverse adaptation view in cross-cultural management
Purpose – Contrasting local adaptation, which focusses on foreign multinationals learning about and adapting to local (host country) culture and environment, reverse adaptation refers to the case where an MNE’s local employees learn, assimilate and modify their personal behavior (e.g. values, norms) and professional competence (e.g. standards, goals, language, knowledge, capabilities) in order to fit the MNE’s global mindset and global competence…
Competing in Complex Cross-Cultural World
Purpose This article is a commentary on The “Global Implications of the Indigenous Epistemological System from the East: How to Apply Yin-Yang Balancing to Paradox Management” (Li, 2016), which is a timely and important piece. Li (2016) offers epistemological insights into what Yin-Yang is, why Yin-Yang can serve as a guiding frame of thinking, and how to apply this frame of thinking to paradoxical issues to organizations that compete in a comple…
International Joint Ventures
The first book-length treatment of theories, practical lessons, and the full set of critical issues that affect international joint ventures. It addresses culture, human resources, learning, legal, management, and research and development, and presents a full set of decisions and detailed guidelines for IJV formation and management. It also thoroughly analyzes 30 case studies
Guanxi
Guanxi, a Chinese concept, refers to drawing on connections in order to secure favors in personal relations. It differs from the western concept of networking or friendship. In this note, we explain the nature, principles, and characteristics of guanxi. We also demystify the economic rationale and the business functions of guanxi. Finally, we introduce several theoretical frameworks to explain the guanxi‐performance link and summarize some semina…
Entry Strategies in Business Process Offshoring
Business process offshoring (BPO) has emerged as an important strategy and a prevalent landscape in global service operations management. As one of the first attempts to analyze this challenging issue in an emerging market, this study examines how firms develop a set of global expansion strategies, including where (location), when (timing), and what (diversification), that are unique to BPO service operations. Our analysis of 424 BPO service oper…
How emerging market governments promote outward FDI
Guanxi and organizational dynamics
This paper focuses on the utilization of guanxi, which is an important cultural and social element in China, and the impact of guanxi on firm performance. Although guanxi is embedded in every aspect of Chinese social life, companies demonstrate different needs and capacity for guanxi cultivation. Chinese firms develop guanxi as a strategic mechanism to overcome competitive and resource disadvantages by cooperating and exchanging favors with compe…
