“…Deuxièmement, des futurs travaux pourraient aussi porter sur des mesures précises des IDE entrants en distinguant les IDE de création ex‐nihilo des fusions et acquisitions (Witte et al., 2017, 2020) dans leurs rapports avec la fragilité de l’État.…”

“…(2020) et Witte et al. (2020) ont ainsi mis en lumière l’influence sur les investisseurs étrangers du cadre réglementaire local relatif aux procédures administratives, à la corruption, à la fiscalité ou encore à la stabilité politique du pays. Toutefois, les résultats de ces études sont peu concluants car souvent ambigus.…”

The main contribution of this study to the research in international business is to integrate “state fragility” as a multidimensional factor determining FDI inflows. By examining 17 countries in the MENA region during the period from 2002 to 2018, our results reveal that state fragility has a negative impact on inward FDI. However, this negative relationship turns out to be moderated by the host‐country natural resource endowment and democratic governance. While lower levels of democratic governance strengthen the negative impact of state fragility on FDI, contrary to our expectations, higher levels of natural resource endowment accentuate this negative impact, thus providing evidence for the “resource curse” phenomenon.

“…Firms generally tend to choose a location that would provide them with a stable environment and that would allow them to exploit the advantages offered by the host country, increase efficiency, and reduce production costs (Park & Choi, 2014;Skovoroda et al, 2019). Recent work by Bailey (2018), Buckley et al (2020), andWitte et al (2020) has highlighted the influence of local regulatory frameworks on foreign investors in terms of administrative procedures, corruption, taxation, and political stability. However, the results of these studies are inconclusive because they are often ambiguous, which according to Bailey (2018) might be linked to a lack of contextualization of the extant research.…”

“…Future studies should examine the MNEs 'stay or exit' decision at this war stage. Political instability at this stage, including major civil unrest, some violence and the threat of war can have a detrimental effect on the country's legal system and efficiency of institutions (Witte et al 2020). Moreover, this war political stability affects the foreign market's economic conditions and thereby affect expected rates of return as well as risk perceptions (Burger et al 2016).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to critically review the existing research on the intersection between war and international business (IB) and to map out a future research agenda. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on corporate examples and extant literature within IB, political science and international relations, the paper provides an introduction to the main concepts of war, a review of the IB research on war and provides a critical future research agenda. Findings The review of the multiple strands of war-related research in IB generally reveals an understudied area. Among other biases, prior research has focused on inter-state wars and has relatively unexplored foreign direct investment (FDI) and non-FDI within civil wars. Furthermore, previous studies offer little attention to how IB and multinational companies contribute to the emergence and development of wars. Originality/value The paper develops an analytical and critical research agenda for future research to examine the relationship between war and IB. This includes a set of questions for each of the three major phases of war: pre-conflict, armed violence and post-conflict. To the best of my knowledge, this has not been done before in the context of IB research.
