The interactive effect of time and host country location on Chinese MNCs’ performance: An empirical investigation

Institutional Forces and Environmental Management Strategy: Moderating Effects of Environmental Orientation and Innovation Capability

“…Two IVs are required to render the system identifiable, as we have two endogenous regressors (Yuan et al, 2016). Good IVs need to meet some key conditions: they must be correlated with the endogenous variables and values of the IVs should be unrelated to the error values of the structural model.…”

Why has the United States continued to receive net investment income as a debtor country?

“…The findings in Yuan et al. () lend support to the internalisation‐effect hypothesis. The authors, conducting regression analysis with a comprehensive panel data set of Chinese‐listed MNCs in 1992–2005, found that Chinese MNCs’ expansion into other developing countries led to better performance in the immediate term, but thereafter an erosion of that improved performance over time.…”

“…Second, accounting returns on newly acquired companies tend to be depressed because mergers and acquisitions tend to increase the book value of acquired assets initially while operating profits are not yet affected. Finally, the organisational learning theory suggests that learning cost may be particularly high for emerging‐country MNCs in an advanced host country because of their low stock of knowledge and the sophistication of the new business environment in the host country (Yuan, Pangarkar, & Wu, ). Over time, however, they tend to become more profitable as they learn to operate in the new environment.…”

An overview of social responsibility dimensions in international business

“…Studies explore conflict resolution through firm negotiation (Agbloyor et al, 2016), the HRM practices of emerging market MNEs (EMNEs) in Africa (Xing, Liu, Tarba, & Cooper, 2016), the impact of patent strength on innovative activity (Allred & Park, 2007), and the adoption of investment incentive policies to attract FDI in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) (Ayentimi et al, 2016). Other notable areas of focus include the location choices of firms and location patterns of trade (Suder, Liesch, Inomata, Mihailova, & Meng, 2015), location pattern differences between foreign-owned and domestic US firms (Shaver, 1998), the location choices of firms from newly industrialized economies (Lei & Chen, 2011), and the time effect of location choice on the performance of MNEs (Yuan, Pangarkar, & Wu, 2016). (Aggarwal & Goodell, 2010), extra-territorial effects of institutions on firms (Meyer & Thein, 2014), and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) on MNE transaction costs (Vachani, Doh, & Teegen, 2009).…”
