The globalization of east Asian venture capital: The effects of its ‘return diffusion’ on Silicon Valley
The global financial system's investment in high-technology start-ups is exemplified by Silicon Valley venture capital (VC). While Silicon Valley remains a leading hub of VC activity worldwide, its norms and practices have evolved since its origins in the Second World War, especially with the internationalization of VC in the twenty-first century. This article offers a novel explanation for these changes by analysing east Asian governments' polic…
From Diffusion to Diffuse-ability: A Text-as-Data Approach to Explaining the Global Diffusion of Corporate Sustainability Policy
This paper argues that attributes of diffusion objects, in their own right, shape the form and extent of policy diffusion. To date, diffusion scholarship focuses on actor-level attributes (e.g., connections, culture, physical proximity, etc.) to explain what is diffused and how much. Extending existing theory on the impacts of policies’ textual properties on diffusion patterns, we argue that policies that are easier to understand, specific in the…

A growing thrust of these policies focuses on accumulating non-financial resources, particularly social capital, as the strategy for improving inclusion. Such policies include mentoring and networking schemes, role model campaigns, competitio…
AI super-powers: China, Silicon Valley and the new world order
The Trump–Xi trade war over semi-conductors is just one manifestation of the trepidation about who holds tech supremacy: the US or China. Does the future lie in Silicon Valley, the epitome of American entrepreneurship and home to the mission-oriented founders who have connected us and organized the world's information? Or with the growing Chinese tech behemoths, which we presume are propped up by the state? The two countries’ relative artificial …

Patient capital is vital to start-up companies which often struggle to access traditional finance. This article conceptualizes the conditions in which venture capital (VC) demonstrates patience in an effort to better understand the sources of patient capital available for start-up companies. VC investment stage is identified as a key determinant of VC patience. VC ‘seed stage’ investing demonstrates patience through its long intended investment h…
