“…We conducted some additional analyses to check the robustness of our results (Wellalage et al, 2019). We used generalized least squares (GLS) estimation in AMOS 20.0, rather than maximum likelihood estimation, to test the fit indices of our model, and further used 10,000 sampling, 99 and 95% confidence interval for bootstrapping procedures (Sampath and Rahman, 2019). Our findings are largely the same for all the hypotheses.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine how customer socialization strategies can help social enterprises (SEs) to establish different types of organizational legitimacy and how different types of organizational legitimacy in turn can encourage customers' positive in-role behavior (such as repurchasing) and extra-role citizenship behavior (such as referral, feedback and forgiveness of quality problems).Design/methodology/approachA survey of 381 customers in Chinese SEs is used to examine the research questions. The paper uses structural equation modeling and bootstrap method to analyze the hypothesized relationships among customer socialization strategies, organizational legitimacy and customers' in-role and extra-role behaviors.FindingsThis study finds that various customer socialization strategies can differentially enhance different types of organizational legitimacy of a SE, which in turn positively affects customers' in-role repeated purchase behavior and extra-role citizenship behavior. The study also finds that three types of organizational legitimacy are highly accumulative; gaining relational and market legitimacy might be a precondition for obtaining social legitimacy for SEs.Originality/valueThis study is one of the first to empirically investigate the important role of customer socialization strategies in the acquisition of different types of organizational legitimacy in the context of SEs. It also shows how different types of organizational legitimacy, in turn, can positively affect customers' in-role and extra-role behaviors. In addition, this is one of the first empirical studies to investigate the accumulative nature of three types of organizational legitimacy in SEs: relational legitimacy, market legitimacy and social legitimacy.

“…Several studies are devoted to organizational strategies of multinational companies investing in countries hindered by various levels of corruption. Sartor and Beamish (2020) examined the likelihood of market entry, while Sampath and Rahman (2019) studied how corporate bribery is affected by cultural distance between multinational enterprises’ home and host countries. Adomako et al (2020) analyzed the effects of perceived corruption in small and medium-sized enterprises’ home countries and the level of their business process digitization.…”

Purpose This study aims to examine the relationship between cultural distances between countries and their scores in the Corruption Perception Index (CPI), which is the most commonly used measure of corruption in international business (IB) research. Design/methodology/approach The authors applied fixed-effect (generalized least squares) statistical modeling technique to analyze 1,580 year-country observations. Findings The authors found that the CPI score is determined to a large extent by cultural distances between countries, specifically the distance to the USA and to Denmark. Research limitations/implications CPI is often used as a sole measure of state-level corruption in IB research. The results show that the measure is significantly influenced by cultural differences and hence it should be applied with great caution, preferably augmented with other measures. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to look at cultural distances as determinants of CPI score. The authors empirically test whether the CPI is culturally biased.

Drawing on the resource-based view and dynamic capabilities' perspectives of the firm, we present a comprehensive analytical model of the key determinants of natural resources endowments (NREs) on the performance of multinational enterprises (MNEs). We also propose four moderators that influence the NRE-performance relationship: private ownership, state ownership, financial resources availability, and research and development efforts. The model makes clear how the various determinants of the NRE-performance relationship impacts international business. The model is designed to motivate empirical research on this topic. Implications to various stakeholders flowing from the proposed model are also discussed.
