Upgrading in global value chains – is the orchestrating MNE doing harm?
Purpose This paper aims to examine why multinational enterprises (MNEs), despite their central role in orchestrating global value chains (GVCs), often fail to generate the expected investment-led upgrading among local suppliers in less developed countries (LDCs). The authors challenge the common assumption that MNE-led orchestration naturally produces positive spillovers. Design/methodology/approach The study draws conceptually on Acemoglu and co…
The source of MNE superiority from within or from outside? – A response to “the importance of being transnational”
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to respond to the comments by professor Ietto-Gillies on the paper on “The MNE as the Crown of Creation?” Design/methodology/approach The authors argue that the key points made in the commentary are broadly complementary to the arguments set out in the “Crown of Creation?” Findings The authors agree with the commentary that sources of advantages of multinationality lie “outside the MNE” – through its interacti…
The MNE as the “crown of creation”
Purpose The purpose of this paper is twofold: to analyse what theories assume about multinational enterprises (MNEs) when they claim these are superior and to discuss possible explanations for why MNE superiority seems to be dominant in the international business (IB) research field. Design/methodology/approach A common theme in mainstream IB theories is that multinational enterprises (MNEs) are superior in terms of cost efficiency and innovative…
Rising power firms – the developmental promises and challenges
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to introduce the notion of "rising power firms” and how these firms offer developmental promises and challenges to the face of international business (IB). We suggest that rising power firms offer novel capabilities, connect IB to global value chains (GVCs) and then introduce the papers in the special issue. Design/methodology/approach – The papers in the special issue are grouped under two distinct themes, …
ICT deployment and resource-based power in multinational enterprise futures
ICT and MNE reorganisation
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to highlight the ICT‐enabled enhancement of control capability in MNEs. The literature on MNE structures acknowledges the role of ICT as a support system, but the specific changes facilitated by ICT have remained significantly underdeveloped. The paper seeks to address this issue conceptually and link contemporary ICT advancement with changes in MNE strategy or structure. The paper further posits that certain …
