“…Our research model posits that multicultural firms receive abnormal rewards during the Covid-19 pandemic. Though accounting based measures of performance are used extensively in prior literature [36,[48][49][50][51], these are inadequate for our research design. Instead, we use an event study methodology to estimate the stock market performance at the onset of the Covid-19 event [52,53] .…”

Globalized firms maintain a presence across multiple countries encompassing multiple cultures. Cross-border, multicultural firms can leverage digital technologies to harness diverse information spread across the organization to generate insights and innovation. Conversely, digital technologies can cause organizations to suffer from infobesity. We examine this dialectic tension in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. We theorize that multicultural firms exhibited better performance, assessed through market measures, during the onset of the pandemic. We further maintain that the use of digital technologies to generate insights from data has a negative effect on the relationship between multiculturism and firm performance due to infobesity. Analysis of Fortune 500 firms, having 56,587 subsidiaries present in 179 distinct countries, demonstrates that multicultural firms witnessed relatively superior stock market returns during the first quarter of 2020. We make significant contributions to information systems and crosscultural research and to broader inter-disciplinary management research.

“…Although focusing on a single country enhances internal reliability and avoids issues arising from cross-country heterogeneity, we can only theoretically claim but are unable to empirically demonstrate generalizability to other countries [72,73]. Furthermore, this creates avenues for similar research in economies that are G.R.E.A.T (Growing, Rural, Eastern, Aspirational, Transitional) such as India [74][75][76][77].…”

Though innovation is considered to be the lifeblood of business, speed of innovation is more critical than innovation itself. IT plays a critical role in the process of open innovation as it is based upon collaborating with suppliers and customers. IT enables increased collaboration and generation of insights across the firm's partner network. We examine the role of IT-enabled capabilities in determining the speed of innovation. We hypothesize that collaboration with customers is more effective than collaboration with suppliers for firms to speedily innovate. Further, a firm's digital collaboration with customers is more effective when Business Intelligence systems are used. Econometric analyses of data from 249 U.S. firms yields strong support for our hypotheses. While both customer-side and supplierside digital collaboration are positively associated with innovation speed, the effect of customer-side digital collaboration on innovation speed is stronger. Furthermore, Business Intelligence systems use amplifies the effect of customer-side digital collaboration.

“…Since a large percentage of family firms in India are listed on the stock market and many of them have even become global giants, India provides unique research setting for this study. Furthermore, Indian family businesses are unique owing to their very high average level of equity ownership and management control (Ning et al, 2020). FIOs have been very active in the Indian stock market and have accelerated their investment in listed firms in India.…”

PurposeInformation and communication technologies (ICT) are indispensable tools for Knowledge Management (KM) practices in today’s knowledge-intensive and globally interconnected marketplace. This paper seeks to investigate the impact of family ownership on ICT investments in an emerging economy (EE) context.Design/methodology/approachThis empirical paper uses data from 300 large Indian listed firms with 2,650 observations in the period 2008–2017, to test its hypothesis.FindingsThe results indicate that family firms are not favourably inclined towards ICT investments for formalizing their KM practices. However, under certain contexts, such as higher foreign institutional ownership or business group affiliation, they are more willing to invest in ICT resources.Practical implicationsThis study establishes a nuanced understanding of how family firms approach ICT investments and KM practices. This research can help family owners/managers to commit sufficient resources on ICT projects.Originality/valueLiterature on KM has largely emanated from developed countries. This is one of the first papers from an EE context that studies the impact of family ownership on ICT investments and subsequent KM practices. In this way, this paper offers specific insights into the context of Indian family firms and offers some interesting findings that can contribute to the literature, policy and practice.
