The role and significance of adaptation versus standardization for performance in foreign markets has stirred some important debates among the academic community. In this paper, we aim to contribute to the ongoing debate by applying the logic of institutional theory and organizational capabilities to reconsider the relationship between adaptation and foreign market performance. In particular, we argue based on extant theory and our own mixed-method study that while more accentuated differences in the institutional environment reinforce the role of adaptation in achieving legitimacy, the possession of relational and technological capabilities can reduce the relevance of adaptation. The empirical study is based on a sample of 284 firms in the quantitative study and eight firms in the qualitative study. Our findings reveal that adaptation is positively associated with performance in foreign markets. This relationship is also positively moderated by institutional distance, and negatively moderated by relational and technological capabilities.

“…This implies that, during joint-actions (i.e., relational governance in this study), the firm would have higher communication and coordination efficiency, and the data and information needed for joint-actions would be easier to access or more abundant. Therefore, based on the high-level communication and coordination, and abundant and well-prepared data and information, the joint-actions between two firms would be more efficient and effective [3,37]. On the other hand, during the design of explicit and contingent contract clauses, highly efficient and effective communication and coordination can create more time and energy for firms to exchange ideas, discuss duties and rights of each party, and consider as many contingencies, situations, and circumstance as possible.…”

Although a plethora of studies demonstrate that information technology (IT) has a positive influence on integration, collaboration and coordination side of green supply chain management, our knowledge about the influence of IT resources on governance side remains limited, especially the relational and contractual governance, two of the fundamental governances in green supply chain management. Based on the transaction and agency cost perspective and literature of information systems and B2B governance, this study investigates how IT resources affect the effects of relational and contractual governance. The results show that IT resources could improve the relational governance (i.e., joint-actions) and contractual governance (explicit and contingent contract clauses designing), and thus, effectively mitigate partner’s opportunism. Finally, the theoretical contribution and implications for managers are also given in the end.

“…Investments in information technology improve organizational efficiency and competitiveness (Kohli & Devaraj, 2003) and deliver strategic impacts (Tallon et al, 2000); IT investments can also improve the performance of partnerships of collaborative works (Chang et al, 2015) and support the development of supply chain agility (Liu et al, 2013). "A flexible IT infrastructure also leads to a high level of supply chain agility.…”

We developed this paper in order to better understand the effects of being innovative in the use of Information Technology (IT). Through a measure for listed companies that are innovative in IT use, we developed a quantitative analysis considering the investments made by institutional investors in these companies. As institutional investors, the sample includes observations from 2,880 mutual funds, since managers of these funds are presumed to be experts in choosing good companies to invest financial resources. Regarding the companies' stocks, the final sample of this study is comprised of 592 observations during the period from 2013 to 2015. The main result obtained in this paper indicates that "innovative companies in IT use" receive more investments from institutional investors when compared with the other firms. These results are robust to other variables presented by academic literature as relevant factors to understand resources allocation in financial market.
