Recently, the focus of the international business has been shifted from a country-level to a sub-national level, with the better availability of more fine-grained data and new interdisciplinary research. Especially, “global city” has become a key topic in international business due to their superior economic performance. Their superior can be explained by 1) well-developed infrastructure attracts many different people and firms to be concentrated in a dense area, and 2) global connectivity of the global cities provides access to more opportunities and knowledge outside the metropolitan area. These two factors are very closely related. World-class firms and talented people in the metropolitan area provide more chances to be connected, both within a city and across different cities across co

Triple Bottom Line Performance in Post Covid B2B Marketing

The Triple Bottom Line (TBL) concept emphasizes that business success should not be measured solely by financial performance. It includes social and environmental impacts alongside profit. Additionally, dynamic capabilities help firms adapt to rapid environmental changes and enhance sustainability performance. Previous studies have shown that TBL initiatives can also improve sustainability performance. However, no research has investigated how dynamic abilities and TBL initiatives jointly impact B2B firms’ sustainability performance in the post-COVID-19 period. This study aims to examine the implications of dynamic capabilities on TBL performance, particularly from a B2B marketing perspective. By developing and validating a conceptual research model, it contributes to the literature related to dynamic capability view, TBL, and sustainability.

Synergies of Institutional Theory and Dynamic Capability View in Firm Performance: Exploring Climate Change Adaptation and B2B Marketing Capabilities

Based on institutional theory and the dynamic capability view, this study delves into the relationship between a firm’s climate change adaptation (CCA) capability and its performance, with a focus on the mediating influence of business-to-business (B2B) marketing capability. The study poses two main research questions: RQ1: What role do institutional pressures play in fostering CCA capability among B2B firms in both developed and developing countries? RQ2: How does the CCA capability of B2B firms impact their performance? To validate the theoretical model developed, data is collected through surveys conducted in a developed country (Australia) and a developing country (South Africa). The study holds significance on two fronts: (a) being among the first to examine the influence of institutional pressures on CCA capability development, and (b) uncovering the mediating role of marketing capability in enhancing B2B firm performance through CCA capability. The study’s novel contribution lies in identifying pivotal elements for driving exceptional B2B firm performance amidst climate change, while employing institutional theory and the dynamic capability view to elucidate underlying mechanisms.

International Business under Sanctions

In this paper we discuss how sanctions disrupt the institutional framework for international business (IB) and how firms respond to sanctions. We also propose a new research agenda that would help firms and governments to shape their geopolitical strategies.

Role of trust-building in online recycling platforms

With improving environmental consciousness and the growing demand for valuable resources, waste recycling has become an important concern. This work studies the profit of recyclers and platforms with a degree of trust-building in the reverse logistics system considering the following scenarios: online recycling platform builds trust or not under centralized and decentralized models. The results show that trust-building can effectively make more revenue for the system of the online recycling platform with enhanced demand if the cost of the trust-building construction is relatively low. The revenue-sharing contract is more profitable than the cost-sharing contract but fails to achieve optimization in the integrated setting. We find a new decision support tool for optimal strategies under different decision-making models.

Coping with the unpredictable by developing the team’s plasticity

When time is of the essence and teams face unexpected contextual changes, they must adapt quickly, sometimes even in real time, that is, they may have to improvise. This paper adopts an inductive approach to explore how teams decide to engage in improvised adaptation, and what happens during those processes for improvisation to be successful. The study analyzes improvisation from the perspective of paradox theory and identifies six paradoxical tensions driven by these contexts: deployment, development, temporal, procedural, structural, and behavioral tensions. We propose a dynamic equilibrium model of team improvised adaptation that leads to team plasticity.

Access to the Corporate Venture Capital Investors’ Complementary Resources to Leverage Innovation

The aim of this study is to provide investors, policymakers and others with information on how greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and green innovation affect corporate financial performance. Although reporting by corporate venture capital (CVC) firms on GHG emissions as well as their green innovation has increased significantly, especially in the last two decades, little is known about how these two factors affect financial performance.

Opening up corporate political strategizing

I explore what happens when senior executives try to include non-expert, functional managers in the formulation and implementation of strategic actions marked by high levels of complexity and uncertainty. My findings will hopefully be relevant for anybody struggling to introduce new organizational practices in potentially hostile or sceptical corporate environments.
