“…MNEs need to take responsibility for their full value chain, even if they do not own their suppliers in the developing countries. For at least half of the SDGs, MNEs can play a direct role and for others they can play indirect role (Ghauri et al, 2021). Table 1 lists the SDGs that require the direct involvement of MNEs.…”

“…For example, in the automotive industry all major car companies are now switching their production to electric vehicles. So much so that many scholars and industry experts are issuing warnings that when more than 80% of energy generation is still dependent on fossil fuels, would transition to electric vehicles at such a speed have any positive impact or not (BP, 2021;Ghauri et al, 2021). Clearly a collaboration between state, society, and MNEs is essential.…”

“…MNEs are often considered as one of the main causes for these inequalities, particularly for marginalizing major parts of the population in developing countries (Kourula, Pisani, & Kolk, 2017). Recently, however, MNEs have been looked upon as a powerful mechanism to resolve these inequalities (Ghauri, Strange, & Cooke, 2021;Wood, Pereira, Temouri, & Wilkinson, 2021). IB researchers have mostly been looking at CSR and ethics for doing business but not at the externalities created by MNEs (Kolk, 2016;Shapiro, Hobdari, & Oh, 2018).…”

The United Nations put forward 17 Sustainable Development Goals in 2015 that were to be achieved by 2030. The objective was to alleviate inequalities and create a fair society for all. The contention of this paper is that multinational enterprises (MNEs) can play an important role in achieving these goals. It is also envisaged that collaborative efforts of governments, society, and MNEs are necessary to achieve these goals. The impact of new realities, particularly the COVID-19 pandemic, is discussed. Many companies are now claiming to pursue these goals. We call for more research to analyze these activities to separate rhetoric from the reality.

“…In 2020, major transformations of national economies took place, determining the accelerated dynamics of the transition to digital technologies, which is a serious opportunity to obtain new combinatorial effects. In almost all countries, the spread of technology, primarily in the digital environment, determines the fluctuations in the scientific and technical sphere to the dominant technological order (Cavusgil 2021;Ghauri et al 2021). Nevertheless, despite the development of problems, there are still gaps in scientific and practical approaches to the assessment of digital technologies in the areas of combinatorial effects, which does not allow us to form models for managing their financing.…”

Building a Model for Financial Management of Digital Technologies in the Areas of Combinatorial Effects

et al. 2021

The race of states for digital leadership faces the challenges of digital transformation foresight, providing combinatorial effects and acceleration of digitalization processes, contributing to a more efficient allocation of limited financial resources. This situation determines the relevance of the authors’ study, which aims to develop an appropriate model for the allocation of funds for digital technologies. The methodology of the study is based on the concepts of technological modes and cyclical development of the economy. The paper presents the authors’ definition of the concept “digital space,” which is new to Russian scientific literature. The key research method is mathematical modeling. The scientific novelty of the paper is chronological architectonics of digital transformations, built by the authors, and the model of distribution of financing under the investment constraints due to the trust limit of the society institutions, the time of fluctuations of the system of technological adaptation, and the response of the institutional environment to the digital limits of the transformations. The practical significance of the proposed models is the identified tandem interconnected digital technologies of the areas of combinatorial effects that accelerate the dynamics of Industry 4.0, as well as the resulting tools for the effective management of digital technology financing. The obtained theoretical and empirical results are desirable for the heads of government agencies, foundations, corporations, and development agencies, as well as enterprises interested in accelerating digital transformation and increasing strategic competitiveness in the digital space.

“…IB practice now is becoming concerned with global sustainability issues that are associated with, or resulting from, firms' cross-border activities and practices (e.g., Dilyard, Zhao, & You, 2021;Ghauri, Strange, & Cooke, 2021;van Zanten & van Tulder, 2018). Despite rather extensive research about sustainability and sustainable development in many non-IB fields (e.g., Hahn, Kolk, & Winn, 2010), and the wide recognition of MNEs as necessary actors in the United Nations' target of achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) (van Tulder & Keen, 2018;Zhan & Santos-Paulino, 2021), we still lack a clear and systematic understanding of MNEs' roles in contributing to, or hindering, local and global efforts to address pressing sustainability issues or achieving the SDGs (Witte & Dilyard, 2017).…”

This Special Issue is the first joint effort between the Academy of International Business' Sustainability Shared Interest Group and AIB Insights. Sustainability has become an increasingly important consideration for multinational enterprises, and seeking approaches to implementing sustainability-improving change has thus become a strategic priority. This Special Issue provides novel and actionable insights -for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers -about the crucial role that multinational enterprises are playing in achieving sustainable development.
