“…To calculate the number of executives' closed-loop ties and open-loop ties after firms were penalized by the CSRC for being involved in financial misconduct, we first constructed a global interlock network among all corporate leaders of Chinese listed firms for each year, including executives and board directors. If two top corporate leaders worked at the same firm, they had a connection or an interlock tie (Markóczy et al, 2013;Shipilov, Greve, & Rowley, 2010;Tian, Caleb, Xiang, Li, & Pan, 2021a). Based on the global network and open-and closed-loop tie definitions, we calculated the number of executives' closed-loop ties and open-loop ties.…”

When a firm is accused of serious misconduct, its executives, even those who are nonculpable, are stigmatized by the firm's stakeholders, a phenomenon known as courtesy stigma. One research stream explores how executives’ social networks mitigate courtesy stigma, with an emphasis on the positive effect of social networks. From the perspective of a social network as an information pipe, we suggest that social networks are a double-edged sword in the context of courtesy stigma because of their distinctive insulation and exposure mechanisms. Our proposed hypotheses are supported via event history analysis using data collected from a Chinese sample of listed firms that demonstrated financial misconduct in the period 2007–2016. Our study contributes to the literature on social networks and courtesy stigma by revealing their complex links.

“…The results of a Hausman (1978) test also recommend a fixed-effects specification instead of a random-effects specification. To test our hypotheses, we follow prior research in employing a difference-in-differences (DID) identification approach (Shi et al, 2017; Singh and Agrawal, 2011; Tian et al, 2021), wherein we examine the interaction between post-trade conflict and variables including state ownership and SSCM practices. Because the specification includes year, industry, and firm fixed-effects, it is not necessary to include the non-interacted trade conflict treatment and post-trade conflict period dummy variables (Jia et al, 2019; Shi et al, 2017).…”

Under the increased global uncertainty, this study extends prior research on sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) and firm performance by investigating the divergent performance outcomes between state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and non-SOEs, before and after the US–China trade conflict. Based on a sample of 7647 firm-year observations of Chinese listed firms, we found that SOEs experienced less severe performance impact from the trade conflict. Moreover, SOEs with more SSCM practices, including supplier management and customer cooperation, could harvest more performance improvement after the trade conflict, while non-SOEs receive performance reduction by doing so. Theoretical and practical implications are provided. JEL classification: C12, D21, F51, L33

“…Home social movement : Social movements an create powerful normative pressures on business (Soule, 2012; Tian et al , 2021). Wars and other political conflicts are common events to trigger the emergence of social movements (Tian et al , 2021). Wars are often legitimized and de-legitimized through social or protest movements as was evident in the USA’s pending invasion of Iraq in 2000.…”

Purpose Wars, and violent conflicts generally, can generate significant institutional dynamics and new legitimacy pressures for multinational enterprises (MNEs). The purpose of this paper is to understand the nature or source of institutional pressures facing MNEs in war and to examine how MNEs respond and navigate these institutional pressures. Design/methodology/approach This is a conceptual paper. Findings Through the theoretical lens of institutional theory and drawing on insights from the devastating Russian–Ukrainian war in Europe, the study provides a framework that explains the nature of institutional pressures impacting MNEs in a major war conflict and how MNEs respond to these pressures. Central to the framework is the impact of formal and informal institutions on MNEs during war. As a result of regulatory and social pressures, MNEs have to make important strategic decisions either to protect their legitimacy or to defend their economic objectives against institutional demands. Originality/value As the paper situates the pressures of war for MNEs in a formal and informal institutional context, this offers a new approach to understanding the costs and pressures of war on MNEs.
