“…Firms with less international experience tend to suffer difficulty competing in foreign market activities [26]. Therefore, previous international experience of a company and/or executive experience are among the characteristics that influence the decision to enter international markets and achieve export success [24,29] and that direct a company's resources toward internationalisation strategies and reduction of the uncertainty of export activities, given that this organisation has the knowledge of international market dynamics [29,31].…”

“…In general, international experience allows a firm to develop skills to face competitors, as well as a more exact perception of foreign risks of entering international markets to achieve export success. Therefore, the relationship between a firm's accumulative international and export success is positive [26,29,31]. This international experience is related to internationalisation knowledge (ability to detect new opportunities and new markets), experiential knowledge (cultural or institutional and network knowledge) and procedural knowledge (policies and process knowledge) [30].…”

Export success is one of the key aspect of economic growth of a country because it is the principle means of specialising, developing economies of scale, accessing new technologies and attracting foreign investment. For this reason, the significance of this topic has encouraged scientists to investigate the main factors that play a part in the development and application of successful export strategies. This article analyses the export success of Colombian businesses from the behaviour of variables at the business and sectoral levels. The research aims to characterise the relevant conditions affecting the entry of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) into the foreign market, which can be useful for business owners who are in the process of internationalisation; they can also be considered as an instrument for developing policies promoting exports from Colombia. A multilevel model is estimated for a sample of Colombian businesses. We examined international experience, export commitment and export strategy as business factors that positively influence export success, as well as export assistance programmes, networks, tariff legislation, sector size and innovation as sectoral factors. It was concluded that the export destination, the country’s conditions and regulations should be examined before the beginning of the export process. However, Colombian exporters usually choose international destinations without such an analysis. In addition, government support through programmes and tariff legislation leads to greater business dynamism, favours entry into new markets and helps compensate negative results of international destinations.

“…Culture affects the behaviour of every employee in an organisation (Wang and Larimo, 2020), but cross-culture in a multinational joint venture refers to the interactions between groups with different cultural backgrounds (Nadeem et al , 2018). Hence, cross-cultural management usually refers to effective corporation management through communication, coordination, and integration, particularly when contradictions and conflicts are caused by the heterogeneity of national cultures (Mintu, 1992; Ochieng et al , 2013).…”

PurposeCultural differences between employees of different nationalities are hindering the development of some transnational joint ventures. Describing and modelling the positive (or negative) factors that cause joint venture employees to accept (or reject) joint management business practices is of great value to all corporations operating abroad with locally sourced employees.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses a Sino-Japan construction joint venture project as a representative case study. First, structural equation modelling is used to identify the factors influencing Chinese employees' acceptance of joint venture management practices. Then, a system dynamics model is adopted to simulate the time-dependent effects of the incentives.FindingsThe study results (1) indicate which incentives strongly affect employee acceptance of joint venture management practices; (2) identify inefficient management practices in cross-cultural joint ventures; and (3) provide evidence that the employees' perceptions of clear purpose, good working relationships and helpful mechanisms positively and directly also support their acceptance of joint management practices.Originality/value–A dynamic simulation method is used to analyse the influence of various incentive factors on employee acceptance of joint management. This provides unprecedented information regarding how these factors interact with each other, hence how their effectiveness varies (both positively and negatively) over time. Further findings also provide new ideas for joint venture managers to adopt more effective management methods.

Do geographic distances proxy a high probability of foreign divestment? Evidence from Japanese multinational firms

We aim to provide an unambiguous explanation for the positive influence of the geographic distance between a firm's home and host country on divestment decisions of Japanese multinational firms’ outbound merger and acquisition (M&A). Our analysis of 868 acquisitions made by 496 firms in 45 countries and regions from 2005 to 2015 highlights the importance of drawing a clear distinction among various foreign divestment motives before inferring the impact of geographic distances rashly, especially whether it is failure‐driven or global business strategy‐driven. We further find that its impact hinges on parent firm‐ and deal‐level attributes, that is, geographic distance is less salient for large firms, young firms, and foreign operations under a complete control mode; however, the opposite was the case for firms with a high debt burden.
