Article
Although effective resource integration is a critical requisite for entrepreneurial success, the literature suggests there are crucial gaps for minority entrepreneurs. We examine how interracial distrust (ID), an indicator of the extent to which minority entrepreneurs distrust other races, is related to internal and social capital. We examine the r...

Article
While the firm bribery phenomenon has received much attention, we do not yet know how women-owned firms deal with firm bribery. We, therefore, examined whether women’s firm ownership is positively related to firm bribery in emerging markets. We hypothesized that bribery may represent an avenue for women-owned firms to tackle obstacles unique to suc...

As people stayed at home due to safety concerns, the world saw accelerated growth in e-commerce worldwide. The e-commerce disruptor Coupang had a...
Conference Paper
The intersection between the work and nonwork domains is increasingly blurred, which calls for scrutiny of how the latter can be enriched by demands faced at work. The literature suggests that work challenges can enhance, and hindrances tend to conflict with, the nonwork domain. However, the literature is silent on the interactive pattern between c...

In this paper, we examine the relationships between three of the Big 5 personality traits (conscientiousness, openness to experience, and agreeableness) and willingness to justify unethical behavior. We also consider the moderating relationship of four of the GLOBE cultural dimensions (institutional collectivism, humane orientation, performance ori...

To date there has been little to no widespread, universally accepted and theoretically driven examination of what an emerging market is and how best to capture its principle characteristics. Major international organizations, institutions, and scholars, all classify these countries utilizing a multitude of different perspectives. Applying instituti...

Until recently, the business environment was characterized by a world in which nations were more connected than ever before. Unfortunately, the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has virtually ended the borderless and globalized world we were accustomed to. The World Health Organization (WHO) officially declared COVID-19 a pandemic at...
Article
Research on the effects of national cultures and their interactions with the regulatory institutional environment on disruptive innovation in emerging economies context remains scarce. Thus, to answer this gap, we draw from the sociological framework of Institutional Anomie Theory and hypothesized that disruptive innovation is a form of positive de...
Article
Purpose Empirical evidence concerning the relationship between diversity and firm performance continues to produce mixed results that are context-dependent (Guillaume et al. , 2017).

Article
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to link firms’ strategic archetypes as formulated by Miles and Snow (1978) to the more recent literature on organizational ambidexterity. Examining these obvious linkages, the paper also addresses how these firms address their entrepreneurial, engineering and administrative problem domains in relationship with...
Article
Full-text available
Building on the entrepreneurial orientation (EO) literature, we investigate the relationship between family firm performance and autonomy, a key EO dimension. To enhance the understanding of the role of autonomy, we compare the joint impact of environmental dynamism and national cultural context (performance-based vs socially supportive cultures) o...
Conference Paper
We advance existing literature on corporate governance and firm bribery using institutional anomie theory by addressing critical limitations in its underdeveloped treatment of gender. Specifically, we raised the following question: does reaching a certain threshold of females in firm ownership result in critical mass that significantly influence fi...
Article
Full-text available
Given the importance of religion as a norm setting mechanism and the extant literature that has neglected its impact on firms, we examine the role of religion as an antecedent of firm-level innovation. We utilize a country institutional profile approach focusing on the cognitive, normative, and regulative aspects of religion and how they are relate...
Article
Organizations increasingly engage in interorganizational projects. Individuals working on such projects are likely to be influenced by this context. This study investigates the effects of the team processes of collaboration and competition on individuals’ gains and skill utilization. Drawing on social identity theory, we proposed that collaboration...

Hofstede's work on national culture remains some of the most influential evidence of the existence of national culture. This entry discusses Hofstede's work, specifically his analysis of data from IBM multinational subsidiaries worldwide and his evidence that countries can be distinguished along five national cultural dimensions. Each of the cultur...

This study furthers scholarship on the religion-entrepreneurship link by proposing that (1) aspects of a country’s religious profile impact individual entrepreneurial activity differently and (2) that a country’s level of investments in knowledge serves as a contingency factor in this milieu. Our cross-level analyses of data from 9,266 individuals...
Article
Full-text available
To examine the bribing behavior of firms, we developed a cross-level moderation model using agency theory at the firm level and anomie theory at the societal level to investigate the relationship between manager control of firms and firm bribery activity. The results of this cross-cultural analysis using a sample of 1,799 firms from 38 nations show...
Article
To build and maintain their competitive advantage, companies increasingly rely on effective learning processes. However, a review of the literature shows very sparse scholarship on understanding team effects on learning at the micro or individual level. One of the most important contexts for individual learning is collaboration with others. We ther...
Article
ABSRACT Utilizing the lens of ambidexterity, the authors studied 503 diverse firms to determine how they address their entrepreneurial, engineering, and administrative problem domains and their association with firms' strategic archetype as presented in Miles and Snow' (1978) strategic typology. Findings suggest that consistency matters. Firms cons...
Article
We advance and test an institutional anomie theory of opportunity entrepreneurship for understanding the combinative effects of selected cultural values and social institutions to explain national differences in rates of opportunity entrepreneurship. We theorize opportunity entrepreneurship as a creatively deviant response to anomic conditions in s...

Most experts agree that human resource management plays a critical role in furthering ethics. The human resource management function can play an instrumental role in creating an ethical culture. However, a literature review shows that researchers have mostly ignored ethics in the African context. Given the growing importance of Africa in terms of g...

Article
Institutional theory suggests that firms imitate their peers when deciding to enter a foreign market in order to gain legitimacy and cope with uncertainty. There is little investigation, however, on how informal institutions such as culture affect a firm’s mimetic behavior as a response to institutional influences. To fill this gap, this paper exam...
Article
Full-text available
In this article, we develop a new approach to further understand cross-national differences in work values by examining the effects of post-industrialization, an important social institution, on work values. We hypothesize that post-industrialization is positively related to intrinsic work values and negatively related to extrinsic work values. Usi...
Article
This paper examines innovation in the healthcare industry in Taiwan. Specifically, we looked at how two critical factors (physicians' creative traits and authoritarian personality) are related to innovation readiness within the medical care system in Taiwan. We argue that innovation readiness is the cognitive precursor to the behaviors supporting i...

As more companies rely on the creative potential of their employees across borders to remain competitive, a better understanding of cross-national determinants of creativity is needed. Building on prior work, we identify the national climate for creativity as relevant national-level context variable and argue linkages with managers’ creativity prom...

Businesses and the social sciences are increasingly facing calls to further scholarship dedicated to understand sustainability. Furthermore, multinationals are also facing similar calls given their high profile and their role in environmental degradation. However, a literature review shows that there is very limited understanding of sustainability...
Article
This study examines how characteristics of university departments impact students’ self-employment intentions. We argue that four organizational-level factors (entrepreneurship education, entrepreneurship support programs, industry ties, and research orientation) increase such intentions. Using a dataset of 1,530 business students and 132 professor...
Article
Despite the flurry of scholarly research on champions, no prior article has explicitly addressed how different dimensions of championship behavior actually contribute to innovation success.

Employees’ prosocial values have been shown to foster helping, cooperating, and volunteering behaviors, which in turn increase firm performance. However, despite the importance of prosocial values, there is a general neglect of this area in the international arena. As more trade occurs globally, interest in cross-cultural prosocial values is growin...
