TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored why and how HRM matters for knowledge transfer within multinational corporations and found that complementarity among HRM practices exists but does not always have a positive effect on knowledge transfer.
Abstract: This paper explores why and how HRM matters for knowledge transfer within multinational corporations. It is built upon the premise that there are certain HRM practices influencing extrinsic and intrinsic motivation of knowledge receivers. It is found that complementarity among HRM practices exists but does not always have a positive effect on knowledge transfer. Three hypotheses derived from these arguments are tested on data from 92 subsidiaries of Danish multinational corporations located in 11 countries.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that emerging market firms' international experience and home-country characteristics are core sources of learning and argue that these factors constitute important determinants of emerging markets' acquisition behavior in developed countries (south-north acquisitions).
Abstract: Building on an organisational learning perspective, we argue that emerging market firms’ international experience and home-country characteristics are core sources of learning. Furthermore, we argue that these factors constitute important determinants of emerging market firms’ acquisition behaviour in developed countries (south-north acquisitions). We test our hypotheses on a sample of 808 south-north acquisitions. The acquisitions were undertaken in Europe, Japan and North America (Canada and the US) between 1999 and 2008 by firms from the emerging economies of Brazil, Russia, India and China. As suggested by the internationalisation process model, our results show that emerging market firms undertake acquisitions in developed countries in an incremental fashion. Acquisition experience in developed markets increases the likelihood of exploitative expansion, while acquisition experience in developing markets does not appear to have any effect. The results also show that a lack of market and knowledge-based resources at home curbs explorative acquisitions by firms in emerging markets.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used insights from recent fieldwork in the Pakistani sporting goods industry and introduced five recommendations that could lead to a more fruitful engagement with future research, policy, and practice in this area.
Abstract: Much attention has been devoted to corporate social responsibility (CSR) in recent years. Codes of conduct — or the ethical principles that companies use to guide their practices — have been at the heart of the debate about how global companies should manage their supply chains in a socially and environmentally responsible manner. What characterizes the debate today? Exaggerated claims are often made about the benefits that codes supposedly bring to workers and the environment in the developing world. The risk is that codes of conduct may do more harm than good, because much of the academic and policy-oriented rhetoric on the topic is largely divorced from the realities faced by many developing country suppliers, workers and communities. Using insights from recent fieldwork in the Pakistani sporting goods industry, this contribution attempts to bust five myths that continue to characterize the codes of conduct debate and introduce five recommendations that could lead to a more fruitful engagement with future research, policy, and practice in this area.

TL;DR: In this paper, the optimal investment and consumption choice of individual investors with uncertain future labor income operating in a financial market with stochastic interest rates is investigated, where the present value of the individual's future income is a main determinant of the optimal behavior and this present value depends heavily on the interest rate dynamics.
Abstract: We investigate the optimal investment and consumption choice of individual investors with uncertain future labor income operating in a financial market with stochastic interest rates. Since the present value of the individual's future income is a main determinant of the optimal behavior and this present value depends heavily on the interest rate dynamics, the joint stochastics of income and interest rates will have consequences beyond the separate effects of stochastic income and stochastic interest rates. We study both the case where income risk is spanned and there are no portfolio constraints and the case with non-spanned income risk and a constraint ruling out borrowing against future income. For the spanned, unconstrained problem we study a special case in which we obtain closed-form expressions for the optimal policies. For the unspanned, constrained problem we implement a numerical solution technique and compare the solutions to the spanned, unconstrained problem. We also allow for typical life-cycle variations in labor income.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined how legal and fast mover appropriability strategies shape performance and found that both strategies are curvilinearly related to innovative performance, indicting that some firms may suffer from a myopia of protectiveness.
Abstract: The strategies firms use to protect their intellectual property and knowledge can strongly influence their ability to capture the benefits of their innovative efforts. In attempting to appropriate their innovations, firms can choose from a range of mechanisms, including patents, trade secrets and lead times. Yet, little is known about how the use of different appropriability mechanisms may shape innovative performance. Using a large-scale database of UK manufacturing firms, we examine how legal (such as patents) and fast mover (such as secrecy) appropriability strategies shape performance. We find that both strategies are curvilinearly (taking an inverted U-shape) related to innovative performance, indicting that some firms may suffer from a myopia of protectiveness, relying too heavily on appropriation to the detriment of other activities.
