“…We, thus, include the number of Japanese FDI entries into a focal industry of China in the prior year to control for this effect. Market entry studies normally consider legitimation and competition as a function of industry density, defined as the number of organizations competing in an industry (Hannan & Carroll, 1992; Hannan & Freeman, 1989). Two types of density are considered in this study.…”

Research SummaryThis study examines cross‐border bandwagons of foreign direct investment (FDI), a mass FDI entry process, into an emerging economy by following global investors from multiple home countries. Complementing the frequency mechanism, we introduce a cohesion mechanism that can also drive cross‐border bandwagons of FDI. Drawing on the notion of information voids, we submit that the two mechanisms are based on different origins of information, and their relative effects vary depending on the extent of information voids in the host country. Analyzing a firm‐level data set of Japanese firms’ FDI entries into China between 1986 and 2000, we find a high level of information voids in the host country strengthens Japanese firms’ cohesion‐based cross‐border bandwagons of FDI, while suppressing their frequency‐based cross‐border bandwagons of FDI.Managerial SummaryCross‐border bandwagons of FDI into emerging economies have been a prominent phenomenon driving globalization in the past three decades. It is noteworthy that global investors from different countries contributed unequally to this process. This is because the information voids in an emerging economy create challenges for global investors to effectively source FDI bandwagon information from other countries, restricting the frequency mechanism in driving cross‐border bandwagons of FDI. In this article, we introduce a new cohesion mechanism in driving cross‐border bandwagons of FDI: an investor's international networks of FDIs. We then compare the relative effectiveness of the two mechanisms and find that the frequency mechanism weakens while the cohesion mechanism strengthens, when the level of information voids in a host country increases.

“…It also complicates existing interpretation of the "complexity-concentration" relation which emphasizes greater performance, increasing returns, or competitive advantage. Indeed, it may also remind readers of the traditional wisdom in organizational studies [62,63], which abandons perfect functionality and emphasizes entrepreneurial opportunities, and in cultural anthropology [64][65][66], which treats labor densification as a more general cultural form of "involution" that may result in a stasis of productivity. Greater concentration doesn't necessarily rely on the performance or productivity [67,68].…”

Understanding urban concentration of complex manufacturing activities in China

The increasing prominence of urban scaling laws highlights the importance of a systematic understanding of the variational scaling rates for different economic activities. In this article, we utilize several datasets to provide the first systematic investigation of the urban scaling of manufacturing industries in China. Most existing literature assumes that the divergence in urban scaling can be explained by returns to agglomeration, with a few exceptions instead highlighting the role of knowledge complexity or a mixture of both. Our main purpose in this paper is to explain the inter-sector variation of urban scaling rates. In doing this, we provide a clearer approach to demonstrating the relations between urban scaling, returns to agglomeration, and knowledge complexity. Our findings are twofold. First, after uncovering the scaling rates (denoted as urban concentration) and returns to agglomeration (denoted as urban productivity) for each sub-manufacturing sector, we prove that, rather than being a positive predictor, returns to agglomeration is slightly negatively associated with urban scaling rates. This finding reveals that urban concentration of manufacturing may not simply be a natural consequence driven by the maximization of performance. We also show that this result of the manufacturing system contrasts with what would be found in other pure knowledge systems such as patents. Secondly, we measure the complexity for each sector and demonstrate that the variation of urban concentration can be largely explained by their complexity, consistent with the knowledge complexity perspective. Specifically, complex manufacturing sectors are found to concentrate more in large cities than less complex sectors in China. This result provides support for the view that the growth of complex activities hinges more on diversity than on efficiency. The findings above can greatly reduce the current level of ambiguity associated with urban scaling, returns to agglomeration and complexity, and have important policy implications for urban planners, highlighting the significance of a more balanced and diversified configuration of urban productive activities for the growth of innovation economy.

“…Thus, the actual impact of cloud deployments success should be assessed in terms of firm performance (e.g. profit, sales and process efficiency) (Gupta et al, 2018a) Resource dependence theory (Gupta et al, 2018b;Pfeffer and Salancik, 2003;Hannan and Carroll, 1992;Barrow, 1998) (1) Dependence between two firms is likely to generate asymmetrical association, in turn generating power-associated relationships (Pfeffer and Salancik, 2003;Barrow, 1998) (2) A firm that lacks specific resources to fulfil their transactions will aspire to build a relationship with an entity that can help in accomplishing the desired outcomes (1) It is empirical that resource dependence theory can be utilised to have better understanding of the relationship/dependencies between cloud service providers and users (Gupta et al, 2018b) (2) Hannan and Carroll (1992) state that the relationship that is generated between two entities may lead to internal and external changes so that a firm can have to incur during the Cloud ERP implementation Expectation confirmation theory (ECT) (Olson and Dover, 1979;Anderson and Sullivan, 1993;Chang, 2020;Khayer et al, 2020) (1) ECT that is proposed by Olson and Dover (1979), explains attitudes and perspectives towards a service or product rather than explaining its quality factors…”

PurposeDue to the unprecedented disruptions in business operations, many organisations are turning to Cloud ERP implementation to ensure employees can access real-time business information from anywhere, enabling the continuity of business activities. As a result, over the past decades, literature on Cloud ERP implementation has seen significant growth across different subject areas. This paper aims to present a systematic literature review (SLR) that consolidates the literature scattered across various multidisciplinary subject areas, explores recent developments and identifies knowledge gaps for more impactful future research.Design/methodology/approachAn SLR approach has been applied to a sample of 73 articles published until 1 February 2022.FindingsOur SLR identifies and consolidates a set of critical enablers and barriers to the implementation of Cloud ERP. What is particularly interesting is that this study established a link between these enablers and barriers and four key innovation outcomes: product, service, process and business model innovations. A rigorous framework has been devised that demonstrates the nexus between enablers and barriers to Cloud ERP implementation and innovation outcomes in an organisation. In addition, this study has recognised several organisational theories from information systems literature that have the potential for future research in this emerging area.Research limitations/implicationsThis SLR makes several theoretical contributions to the literature on Cloud ERP implementation and its impact on innovation outcomes.Practical implicationsThe review consolidates a wide range of literature to provide decision-makers with an integrated understanding of the most influential factors in Cloud ERP implementation.Originality/valueSLR provides a comprehensive analysis of the current state of research on the topic, offering unique perspectives on developments in theory and knowledge gaps, as well as identifying future research opportunities in the area.
