... Internationalization theory has also been used in the research on "knowledge transfer and innovation" among multinationals Tseng, 2015;Urbig et al., 2022). It postulates the value of multinationals' superior knowledge. ...

... The Multinational Enterprise and Non-Market Strategy International business and strategy research has increasingly paid attention to differences in the internationalization behaviors and sources of competitive advantages of not only developed-country MNEs (DMNEs), but also emerging-market MNEs (EMNEs) (see Giuliani, Gorgoni, Günther, & Rabellotti, 2014;Hennart, 2012;Li, Quan, Stoian, & Azar, 2018;Luo & Tung, 2018;Steinberg, Urbig, Procher, & Volkmann, 2021). Importantly, while DMNEs have been shown to internationalize after first establishing a solid foundation in the home country (Johanson & Vahlne, 1977), EMNEs tend to internationalize at an earlier stage because of institutional constraints in home-country markets (Luo & Tung, 2007). ...

... Behind the entrepreneur's decision to take a balanced job as both an employee and an entrepreneur are many potential ideas and risks that have been analyzed by other entrepreneurs and researchers over time. In addition, Urbig et al. (2021) used the ideas from Folta et al.'s (2010) paper to define the concept of hybrid entrepreneurship and clarify why people choose to take entrepreneurship as a parttime job rather than devoting their full time to entrepreneurship and devoting their work only to their business. The core idea of this approach is that newcomers to the field seize the opportunity to test new concepts in a substantial environment rather than risking their careers by devoting their time only to their full-time business. ...

... To investigate further how the use of a foreign language influences regular human performance in day-to-day living, an analysis of other daily higher-order cognitive processes may enrich understanding about the underlying psychological mechanisms and the linkage between foreign languages and human cognition [16]. This line of research should use simple designs and concrete contexts as the testing materials [17]. Game Theory may serve as one compatible and appropriate tool for studying the fundamental processes involved in strategic decision-making process. ...

... Entrepreneurial competitions (ECs) are seen as an important factor driving entrepreneurial decision-making by entrepreneurs (Urbig et al., 2019). These competitions require participants to work individually or in teams to develop a new entrepreneurial idea or a new business plan; then, following judgement by the jury (Watson and McGowan, 2019), students motivated by the EC will be more willing to participate in business activities and participate in entrepreneurship (Bergmann et al., 2018). ...

... Development of the fourth digit (4D), but not the second digit (2D), is highly sensitive to testosterone, so that in utero androgen exposure results in lower 2D:4D ratios in males compared to females and is considered an index of prenatal testosterone exposure [22][23][24][25]. There is a clear association between 2D:4D ratios and male-typical behaviors [24,26] and, interestingly, professional male football players with low 2D:4D ratios receive more yellow or red card penalties [27]. Even with females, lower 2D:4D ratios in females are associated with the more aggressive form of sabre fencing [28]. ...

... Therefore, firms walk a rough path, through trials and experiences of success and failure involving successions of entries, divestments and reinvestments in host countries. With few exceptions (e.g., Bernini et al., 2016;Procher and Engel, 2018), international business scholars have so far underestimated the interdependencies between these processes focusing instead either on divestment (for recent reviews, see Arte and Larimo, 2019;Schmid and Morschett, 2020) or re-entry in the foreign country for a recent review). ...

... Transfers of knowledge that is highly specialized and adaptive must be carried out in closely interactive environments (Maula et al., 2003). The strong social network resources obtained by firms through frequent interaction with external organizations can help to generate more valuable knowledge flow (Steinberg et al., 2017;Ortiz et al., 2018). ...

... of others (Apicella, Demiral and Mollerstrom, 2017;Bönte, Procher and Urbig, 2018;Carpenter, Frank and Huet-Vaughn, 2018;Klinowski, 2019). ...

... As a result, working women are held to the expectation of performing well on both fronts. Previous studies suggest that women often experience the disproportionate double burden of balancing work with their household duties (Procher, Ritter and Vance, 2017;Miettinen, Lainiala and Rotkirch, 2015;Foster and Stratton, 2019). The division between work time and family time is often unequal for these women, creating problems that increase if they do not have adequate support from their families. ...
