This study analyzes the structure of regional and global alliance networks of multinationals. It examines the network structure of 172 Triad (U.S., Western European, and Japanese) multinationals during 2001-2003 and how it affects subsequent corporate performance during 2004-2006. We study a...

We advance a two-stage theoretical model which contends that the export performance of emerging economy firms (EEFs) will depend both upon their firm-specific capabilities and their home institutional environments. Specifically, we argue that EEFs will be more likely to export when facing more...

Cross-border mergers and acquisitions (CBMAs) have long been used as an important strategy for firms' international strategic expansion. Thus, CBMAs have become an increasingly important approach utilized by a large number of firms in multiple regions across the globe. It has gained in...

"Being international" has nearly become an undisputed aim for firms in a globalized world. Several papers find a positive relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) and the home performance of firms. In this paper we address the "FDI - export" relationship to better understand this...

This paper compares the performance of purely domestic plants, domestic exporters and domestic multinationals. For our empirical analysis we utilise a non-parametric approach based on the principle of first order stochastic dominance. We find that the distributions for multinationals dominate...

This paper analyzes the impact of foreign presence on growth and survival of domestic firms. I separate the two opposing effects of foreign presence: a negative crowding out and positive technology spillovers and further analyze whether the crowding out effect is dynamic, i.e. domestic firms cut...

It is well established in the literature that foreign affiliates are subject to a series of governance and assimilation costs that deteriorate their performance. This is particularly relevant for firms which have been recently acquired by foreign investors. We employ the variation in civic...

This paper compares the performance of purely domestic plants, domestic exporters and domestic multinationals. For our empirical analysis we utilise a non-parametric approach based on the principle of first order stochastic dominance. Comparing the cumulative distributions of the measures of...

The factors that determine firms' levels of internationalization remain a focal area of international business research. Within this research stream, studies building on the upper echelons theory have investigated the influence of the demographic characteristics of the top management team (TMT)...
