“…So far, no previous research (at least to our knowledge) concentrating on China has analyzed the key determinants of acquisition entry strategy based on these three theoretical bases: TCE, RCV, and institutional theory. It is further important to note that certain variables like R&D intensity, international experience, target country experience, economic growth, degree of product diversification, cultural distance, transition, and institutional advancement in the target country have been used as key indicators in studies that used TCE, RBV, and institutional theory as their theoretical bases for entry mode-related choices analysis (see, e.g., Arslan & Larimo, 2010Claver & Quer, 2005;Demirbag et al, 2008Demirbag et al, , 2009Demirbag et al, , 2011Dikova, 2012;Dikova & van Witteloostuijn, 2007;Hill, Hwang, & Kim, 1990;Larimo & Arslan, 2013). Therefore, we have incorporated these determinants found significant in past IB studies in our analysis by addressing them together in the context of acquisition entry strategy of the Nordic MNEs in China.…”

“…Therefore, our study tries to analyze the key determinants of acquisitions entry strategy of MNEs based on TCE, RBV, and institutional theory.

Consequently, we also deem it important for our study concentrating on acquisition entry strategy of the firms to integrate theoretical arguments from all three mentioned theories.…”

This article addresses the key determinants of acquisition entry strategy (i.e., the choice between full versus partial acquisition) of Nordic multinational enterprises (MNEs) in China. Although general establishment and entry mode strategies have been a highly researched area in international business studies, acquisitions as a specific entry strategy and its different aspects have been scarcely researched. Therefore, the current study aims to fill the gap in literature by analyzing determinants of acquisition entry strategy based on three important theoretical bases: transaction cost economics, resource-based view, and institutional theory. Our study is one of the first to analyze acquisition entry strategy of MNEs from all four Nordic economies (Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden) in China during 1987 through 2012, and this unique empirical context adds further value to the study findings. The empirical results show that high target country experience, high cultural distance, high level of product diversification, and subsidiary location in institutionally developed and open cities of China were positively associated with choice of full acquisitions by Nordic MNEs. On the other hand, high industry research and development intensity and timing of acquisition led to the choice of partial acquisitions by the investing Nordic MNEs.

“…Finally, given that we analyzed the occurrence of a foreign subsidiary divestment, our results contribute to the literature on the survival of foreign subsidiaries (Berry, ; Dai, Eden, & Beamish, ; Demirbag, Apaydin, & Tatoglu, ; Kim, Delios, & Xu, ; Li, ; Mitchell, Shaver, & Yeung, , ; Pan & Chi, ; Wan et al, 2015; Woodcock, Beamish, & Makino, ; Zheng, Singh, & Mitchell, ). In a recent study, Blake and Moschieri () highlighted how a situation of confrontation with a host government can lead to subsidiary divestments.…”

Power transitions in the host country and the survival of subsidiaries in infrastructure industries

Research Summary We argue that for firms competing in infrastructure industries, a change in the government that granted the permission to invest in the host country increases the likelihood of divestment of foreign subsidiaries. The logic surrounding this behavior lies in the fact that these firms may develop cooperative relationships with the granting government and that a power transition depreciates the relational capital accumulated and the effectiveness of the commitments achieved. Building on the literature on relational governance and the relational view of corporate political actions, we argue that this effect increases with host country governmental discretion and with investment longevity. An empirical analysis of the survival of foreign investments made by Spanish firms from infrastructure industries during the period 1986 to 2008 provides support for our hypotheses. Managerial Summary The aim of this article is to analyze how changes in the host government that granted the investment in the host country influence firms’ foreign subsidiaries’ survival in the case of firms competing in infrastructure industries. We found that for firms in these industries, power transitions in the host country erode the cooperative relationship they may have with the granting government, increasing the probability of firms' foreign subsidiary divestiture. In addition, we identify two factors that make this effect greater: the length of operation of the foreign subsidiary and host country governmental discretion.

The article aimed at fitting Cox-proportional hazards model to Tuberculosis (TB) data. TB data on 259 patients spanning 2010 through 2016 were collected from the Federal Medical Centre, Bida, Nigeria. Covariates involved were gender, age, type of TB and occupation. Fifteen different Cox models, representing all possible combinations of covariates in question were fitted. Parameters were estimated by method of maximum partial likelihood and model selection was based on Akaike information criterion (AIC). Model (G+C), with gender and occupation as covariates produced the least AIC of 618.597 and hence, was adjudged the best. That is, gender and occupation constituted the best subset of covariates that explained survival of TB patients. The model suggested that recovery hazard of a male TB patient was 24.1% lower than that of a female patient possessing same occupation. This implies that male patient had higher survival time than the female having same occupational status. It further suggested that recovery hazard for patient on technical occupation was 27.46% higher than for patient on non-technical job and of same gender. Hence, a patient on technical occupation had reduced survival time compared to one of same gender on non-technical occupation. It was concluded that gender and occupation explained best, survival of TB patients based on AIC.
