This study developed an index of ethical consumption activities, applied it to samples of young consumers from Germany (n=225) and the United States (n=267), and explored the role of national culture and other factors that theoretically determine these behaviors. Contrary to expectations, the German respondents reported fewer ethical consumption ac...

Using complementary theories derived from, the foreign-entry mode and alliance literatures and two databases on Japanese/US alliances and investments, this study examines the prevalence - a combination of formation and termination - of the full range of investment and cross-border linkage alternatives available to firms.

This paper investigates the determinants of the choice between two alternative methods of pooling similar and complementary assets: the merger/acquisition and the greenfield equity joint venture. Two theories of the determinants of that choice are tested on a sample of Japanese investments in the United States. The results show that equity joint ve...
