“…However, cultural, legal, institutional, and other differences between host and home countries often create information asymmetry, thereby hindering FDI (Jiang & Kim, 2004). Due to a lack of comprehensive understanding of the host country's social, political, and economic conditions, foreign investors often incur additional operational costs (Zhao et al, 2023). Hence, addressing information asymmetry is critical to attracting FDI.…”

In an era of globalization, attracting foreign capital inflows remains a significant concern among nations. This paper aims to examine the individual and joint effects of media freedom and information and communication technologies (ICT) infrastructure on foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows. Utilizing a panel dataset of FDI inflows from 144 countries worldwide from 2003 to 2016 for our empirical analysis, we find that media freedom significantly increases FDI inflows. Interestingly, ICT infrastructure plays an essential moderating role in this relationship. When ICT infrastructure is underdeveloped, the expected impact of media freedom may not materialize; however, as the level of ICT infrastructure improves, the positive effect of media freedom becomes increasingly significant. Hence, we argue that a free media and robust ICT infrastructure are complementary in attracting FDI. Our study not only fills a crucial gap in the literature by examining their joint effect but also provides insightful implications for host countries looking to attract foreign investment. This work thus significantly contributes to understanding the complex relationships among media freedom, ICT infrastructure levels, and FDI inflows at the national level.

Confucian culture, the core value of Chinese society, influences daily life and, in the business world, has a significant impact on management behaviour. Based on an introduction of Confucian culture and Chinese society, this study investigates how Confucian culture influences management behaviour from the perspectives of economic performance, corporate governance, human capital and innovation. Furthermore, this paper discusses the implications for future research on Confucian culture and management behaviour. The analysis in this study provides a reference for research on management behaviour under specific cultural patterns.

Institutional Complementarity and Substitution in Indian Multinational Enterprises’ Cross-Border Investment Decisions

The assumption that better institutions are favoured in multinational enterprises’ (MNEs) location choices has been questioned in terms of whether emerging market MNEs might have different capabilities associated with the institutional conditions in their home country that they may exploit when internationalizing. They might seek to expand both to better institutional environments (institutional substitution) and to other emerging market environments (institutional complementarity). We examine if elements of institutional complementarity and substitution are evident in the internationalization decisions of Indian MNEs, and whether there are boundary conditions or limits attached to the benefits of these two effects. Our arguments are tested on a sample of Indian MNEs’ cross-border acquisitions between 2002 and 2021. The study differentiates between institutional distance effects in terms of both magnitude and direction, and institutional quality. We raise the notion of “institutional ranges or thresholds” (different points on the institutional profile distribution representing varying levels of institutional quality) and explicitly seek to identify such thresholds where the effects of institutional complementarity and substitution may set in and/or disappear, and why that may be the case.
