“…IB scholarship has highlighted a number of challenges in managing operations in foreign markets, such as cultural differences, liability of foreignness, knowledge transfer difficulties, and managing joint ventures. Scholars have reviewed and noted the central role JIBS has played in facilitating this impact (Liesch, Hakanson, McGaughey, Middleton, & Cretchley, 2011;Seno-Alday, 2010;Verbeke & Calma, 2017). While IB research enhanced our understanding of MNEs through sophisticated theorization and methods, it is often difficult to provide direct evidence of its impact on practice and policy.…”

IB research has made significant contributions in understanding MNEs, yet examples of scholarship that have had a demonstrable impact on practice and policy are rare. This article presents research we conducted in the wake of the 2007 global product safety crisis as one such example. We reflect on it to suggest that IB research can enhance its impact by focusing attention on issues that affect both MNEs and societies, and by using available data to arrive at even basic explanations and solutions to inform practice and prompt further academic research.

“…As a complex and durable institution, studying caste can also offer useful insights on how organizations might reproduce inequalities within their boundaries, as well as on institutional frailties (i.e., vulnerabilities and weaknesses of formal institutions) in countries with a caste system (Verbeke & Calma, 2017). However, caste is not the only system of stratification that has been linked to inequality, and research on the implications of other such systems can also generate much needed insights, e.g., Japanese Feudalism -the persistence of family logics through the preservation of social capital (Bhappu, 2000), or Africa's spatial apartheid -coercion of marginalized peoples to remote locations to impede access to economic and social capital (Hirsch, 1991); and even modern formulations of status, such as firms hiring employees from Ivy League or elite schools (Rivera, 2015).…”

Local, yet global: Implications of caste for MNEs and international business

et al. 2023

Caste is an informal institution that influences socioeconomic action in many contexts. It is becoming increasingly evident that international business research, practice, and policy need to programmatically address caste. To facilitate this endeavor, we review the limited research in IB that has addressed caste, and theorize caste as a distinct informal institution by distinguishing it from other systems of stratification like race, class, and gender. In addition, we propose a parsimonious framework to highlight the implications of caste for Indian and non-Indian MNEs in their Indian and global operations. In doing this, we focus on implications with respect to the internal organization and inter-organizational relationships of MNEs, and consider how these implications might differ as based on the MNEs’ organizational forms. We then build on these implications to discuss how MNEs and other stakeholders of international business can address caste inequalities via policies related to human rights, anti-racism, and affirmative action. By bridging theory, practice, and policy, we pave the way for MNEs to address global inequalities that relate to caste.

“…They arise from evolving country-specific norms as reflected in the guidelines of major research agencies. US, Canadian, British, Chinese, and Dutch scholars are responsible for more than 90 percent of all the articles that were published in JIBS between 1970 and 2016 (Verbeke & Calma, 2017: Table 2), so we summarize in Table 2 the DART policies of the major research agencies of those countries and of the European Union. 12 The US National Science Foundation (US-NSF) and the European Research Council (ERC) of the European Union expect authors to make data available, but allow them to opt out.…”

A new approach to data access and research transparency (DART)

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Recent debates on transparency and replicability suggest that JIBS needs to update its approach on data access and research transparency (DART). We propose a series of initiatives, knowing well that there is a balance to be struck. There are clear benefits on the one hand, chief among these the potential for learning and knowledge accumulation, and equally manifest challenges on the other: the imperative to respect privacy, confidentiality, and intellectual property rights. Without addressing these challenges, will there be the highquality data on which the benefits depend? We present access and transparency objectives, and set out how an actionable and effective approach towards DART will be implemented, but also address ethical, legal, and organizational challenges of concern to us as a scholarly community.
