While Asia as a recipient of OS relocations has continued to attract most of the scholarly work, the literature also contains several studies that examine OS practices involving subsidiaries and providers located outside this region (Demirbag and Glaister 2010;Jensen and Petersen 2013).…”

“…Conventional wisdom as well as extensive research confirm that recent progresses in ICT have been a crucial antecedent of the OS phenomenon as they have relaxed this constraint by allowing companies to decouple the production and consumption of service activities and thus splinter them in a geographically dispersed value chain (Apte and Mason 1995;Bunyaratavej et al 2008;Doh 2005;Dossani and Kenney 2007;Grote and Täube 2007;Jandhyala 2013;Murray and Kotabe 1999;UNCTAD 2004;Zaheer et al 2009). Such advances have also increased the possibility of standardizing and storing services' outputs, further enlarging the scope of services that firms could relocate abroad successfully (Di Gregorio et al 2009;Doh et al 2009;Jandhyala 2013). To identify this emerging opportunity, terms such as tradability and offshorability of services have begun to appear in the literature (Doh et al 2009;Lewin and Volberda 2011;Liu et al 2011;Tambe and Hitt 2012).…”

“…At the country level, recent research on the relocation of information-intensive services investigates the impact of property rights protection on the institutional quality of host countries, illustrating how greater de facto property rights protection significantly increases the probability that a country will attract OS relocations from other regions (Jandhyala 2013). Using institutional theory, Kshetri (2007) further examines the offshore environment and identifies the mechanisms by which regulative and social rules, cultural habits, and social norms influence the flow of offshore outsourcing projects between countries.…”

“…The authors posit that differences in knowledge infrastructures between headquarters and offshore regions as well as the political risk of the host environment also influence the international relocation of such services. Other issues include the organizational challenges of capturing the value created in the host environment and the hazards of knowledge leaks caused by weaker intellectual property regulations in offshore countries (Ellram et al 2008;Henkel et al 2013;Jandhyala 2013;Mariotti et al 2010).…”

Offshoring of services (OS), commonly defined as the international relocation of service activities that companies previously performed in their home country, has emerged as a relevant phenomenon in international business (IB). Over the past two decades, OS has grown rapidly in the global economy and it has increasingly attracted IB scholars' attention. In this study, we systematically review the literature to map and assess the body of IB research focused on the OS phenomenon. To achieve our goal, we identify and analyze a total of 79 studies that appeared from 1990 to 2014 in a select group of 14 journals that are widely considered leading publishers of IB research. This review seeks to make a threefold contribution to the IB discipline. First, it provides an in-depth analysis of the OS literature through a synthesis of the theoretical perspectives adopted and an assessment of the empirical findings obtained. Second, it offers an organizing framework that contributes to a more nuanced understanding of the OS phenomenon. Third, it identifies emerging topics on the OS frontier and suggests potential avenues for future research.

“…A number of recent studies have found this aspect of a country's institutional environment to be a significant determinant of a multinational firm's strategic choice (see, for example, Lee & Mansfield, 1996;Oxley, 1999;Javorcik, 2004;Jandhyala, 2013). Yet, large variations persist in the effectiveness of IP protection across countries, and there is a growing international debate on the costs and benefits of stronger IP protection (Huang & Murray, 2009).…”

Environmental transparency and investors' risk perception: Cross‐country evidence on multinational corporations' sustainability practices and cost of equity

We explore whether a greater amount of environmental disclosure can reduce a firm's ex ante cost of equity. This could occur because the quantity of environmental information changes investors' risk perception of the company, thereby influencing its ex ante cost of equity. Our study is a cross-country analysis of 1481 multinational corporations (MNCs) across 43 countries and territories from 2013 to 2019. Firstly, we measure investors' risk perception as a firm's ex ante cost of equity by employing five different valuation models, all based on equity analysts' forecasted data. We then investigate whether large quantities of environmental information disclosed by an MNC affect its ex ante cost of equity. We find evidence that investors price the amount of environmental disclosure. More environmental disclosure decreases a firm's ex ante cost of equity because it lessens investors' information asymmetry.However, this relationship is non-linear. Once the amount of environmental disclosure data exceeds a certain threshold level, a firm's ex ante cost of equity will rise again. Our empirical results also suggest that non-financial factors at the country level play a role in shaping how investors perceive a firm's riskiness. Locating the firm in a country with better environmental performance and a higher score of the human development index can reduce investors' risk perception and result in a lower ex ante cost of equity. A policy implication of our findings is that a global standardised and effective corporate sustainability reporting is needed to provide investors a more holistic view for evaluating the riskiness of their investments.
