“…The findings were consistent with our main results (Test 1 in Appendix 3). Also, since Hofstede's cultural dimensions are also widely used in IB research (Beugelsdijk, Kostova, & Roth, 2017), we used the six cultural dimensions 4 to construct an alternative measure of cultural distance and recalculate cultural friction (Hofstede, Hofstede, & Minkov, 2005;Wu, Huang, Fan, Li, & Su, 2023). The results align with our primary analyses (Test 2 in Appendix 3).…”

“…At the country level, we controlled for geographical distance (in 1000 kilometres) between China and the host country (Wu, Huang, Fan, Li, & Su, 2023). Because regional trade agreements (RTA) affect the costs for MNEs making international decisions (Egger et al, 2008), we used a dummy variable to control the RTA trade effects.…”

“…The past two decades have witnessed a significant change in the globalization trend of an increasingly fragmented world filled with global frictions (Calabrò et al, 2022;Nguyen, Larimo, & Ghauri, 2022;Ripsman, 2021), which have impacted firms' strategic agilities and operations (Bernini, Du, & Love, 2016;Surdu et al, 2018), especially in developing countries (Nyamrunda & Freeman, 2021;Wu, Huang, Fan, Li, & Su, 2023). Among all challenges posed by global frictions, foreign market exitdefined as the cessation of the operation of a foreign subsidiary by the parent firm (Bernini et al, 2016;Mata & Freitas, 2012) is, perhaps, the hardest strategic response (Dai, Eden, & Beamish, 2013).…”

“…In the sharing economy context, trust-related issues originate from multiple sources, such as the interaction with consumers, privacy concerns and the transparency of the sharing process (Chen and Tussyadiah, 2021; Jayasimha et al , 2021). Research suggests that the complexity of using sharing platforms and the lack of information about the actual quality of the sharing services may exert negative impacts on consumers repurchase intentions and their satisfaction with the sharing service (Wu et al , 2023). In the hospitality sector, consumers can only rely on service descriptions and online reviews when making a purchase decision, which can result in perception bias.…”

Purpose Despite a growing body of research focusing on the dark side of sharing economy development, arguments are fragmented and incomplete. This study aims to address the gap by integrating existing viewpoints based on a provider’s perspective. Design/methodology/approach This study conducted a bibliometric analysis using text mining and clustering algorithm techniques to measure the scope of scientific output on this topic and identify the main research themes. Findings Through the bibliometric analysis, this study developed an integrative framework based on the platform providers’ internal management issues and external conflicts with consumers, society, government regulations and traditional business. It also identified significant gaps within each research theme and proposed a future research agenda. Originality/value Sharing economy development has not yet been fully understood and regulated, leading to unprecedented challenges to existing business systems. The study addresses knowledge gaps and advances the understanding of the dark side of the sharing economy based on the provider’s internal management and interplay with external forces. It offers a roadmap for future research to advance understanding of the “hidden” dark side of the sharing economy.

“…To test our hypotheses, we adopted a Tobit regression approach due to the data structure of our sample. According to previous studies (Delios & Beamish, 1999;Delios & Henisz, 2000;Wu, Huang, Fan, Su, & Li, 2023), the Tobit model is more appropriate than the ordinary least squares (OLS) regression when the dependent variable has a lower limit value (i.e., left-censored) and/or an upper limit value (i.e., right-censored). In this study, the dependent variable, frequency of expansion, has a lower limit of 0.…”

Do it right the first time! But, how? Current dialogue on the expansion of emerging market multinational enterprises (EMNEs) is pervasive. Nonetheless, it ought to have examined strategic attributes and the speed of implementing different strategies for their first venture. Drawing on the springboard perspective, this study tests the impact of EMNEs' first cross-border acquisition (CBA) strategy and speed on their consequential expansion frequency and performance. We also examine the boundary conditions of comparative nationalism between countries, in view of the resurgence of nationalism in an era of deglobalization. Findings reveal that EMNEs' rapid adoption of a focused strategy for their first CBA increases their expansion frequency, while the adoption of a conglomerate strategy decreases it. These relationships are affected in reverse by high comparative nationalism, and the performance consequences of expansion vary with firms using different strategies for their first attempt. This study enriches the EMNE literature and highlights the role of national ideologies in international business research.
