This study examines the effects of location on the performance of foreign firms within a host country. Past studies have shown that location advantages and agglomeration economies positively affect the location choice of foreign firms. However, few studies have provided empirical evidence on the effects of location on FDI performance. This article attempts to fill this gap by testing the effects of location on the productivity of foreign firms in China. Results of statistical testing based on a comprehensive database from China's industrial census show that location significantly affects the productivity of foreign firms. Specifically, location advantages (infrastructure and factor inputs), agglomeration (concentration of foreign firms), and the effect of the reforms (privatization) pos...

The generational properties of organization theory are an increasing topic for analysis, usually in terms of what is addressed and how it is addressed. Some writers have alerted us to the importance of those social issues that are not addressed. Combining the idea of generational scholarship with the idea of those non-issues that remain unaddressed, this paper highlights how some of the events of the Second World War, which authorities agree was a generational defining and demarcating experience, have been neglected in organization theory. Nowhere is this more clearly demonstrated than in the Holocaust. Strangely, this practical experiment in organizational design and practice seems to have elided almost all interest by organization theorists, whether functionalist or critical. The pape...

Drawing on reasoned action and family systems theories, as well as the domestic and international job transfer and relocation, global assignments, personality and work-life balance research domains, this study examines managers' willingness to assume global assignments. The authors propose a multi-factor model and test several hypotheses using survey data collected from 431 global managers and 162 spouses/significant others that examine the degree to which individual, family, and organizational variables influence managerial willingness to accept not only the more traditional multi-year, but also the increasingly common traveling and short-term global assignments. Results suggest that individual (adventurousness and destination country), family (eldercare, children at home, community te...

This study of Latin American banks located in the United States employs a resource-based framework to explain how subunits of emerging market firms can overcome the challenges of operating in a developed market. * Our results show that an EMF subunit can draw upon ethnic identity as a valuable and costly-to-imitate resource to achieve competitive parity in the developed market. * Ethnic resources can be generated not only from ethnically similar customers but also from ethnically similar competitors in the local market. * In addition, the parent firm' level local and non-local resources can help to achieve competitive parity for the EMF subunits in that country, which in turn positively influences survival. * However, over expansion can lead to spreading local and non-local resources to...

Penrose's (1959) theory of firm growth argues that firm knowledge and experience gives rise to "excess" resources which can be (re)deployed to explore and exploit productive opportunities leading, ultimately, to the achievement of firm goals. This key insight on organizational slack in the context of expatriate managers within multinational enterprises (MNE) was examined. Expatriates are not only a viable way of examining the Penrosian concept of slack but, as an unique element of MNE management, expatriates also provide an opportunity to develop new insights into international business theory. Using a large sample of MNE subsidiaries, it was found that when host country experience is comparatively low, subsidiaries with "excess" expatriate managers are more likely to experience inferio...

Research on teams has traditionally been relatively simplistic and linear, looking at observable demographics, generic processes within teams, and outcomes of those processes. Most research on global teams has extended this view to look at the same dynamics in teams in a multinational context. When researchers think of a "team", they tend to assume something relatively stable and contiguous with a specific purpose that requires interdependence. But when today's managers in multinational organizations think of their teams, they see shifting membership and boundaries, embedded in multiple organizational and environmental contexts, with dynamic tasks. A global team is an internationally distributed group of people, identified by its members and the organization as a team unit, with a speci...

Employing detailed industry-level data, this paper examines the country-of-origin effects of foreign direct investment in China. The analysis demonstrates that there are significant differences in behavior between investors from non-Chinese Western (NCW) source countries and those from Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan (HMT). The findings show that NCW investors target local market, while HMT investors are export-oriented. Furthermore, NCW firms are more responsive to local labor quality and technological capability than their HMT counterparts.
