Corporate Political Activities and Emerging MNCs’ Internationalization: Interplay of CEO Narcissism and Gender
No full textMultinational Corporations (MNCs) from emerging markets face various socio-political and institutional challenges in their domestic markets owing to their engagement in global markets. To navigate these challenges and secure favorable legislative and institutional support, they increasingly adopt nonmarket strategies in their domestic markets. Drawing on the institutional and upper echelons theories, this study examines why Chinese and Indian emerging MNCs (EMNCs) perform corporate political activities (CPAs) as a strategic nonmarket response in their domestic markets. Utilizing data from 159 EMNCs from 2011 to 2022, we find that engagement in CPAs serves as a buffering and bridging mechanism to support their degree of internationalization. Moreover, CEO narcissism and the presence of female CEO positively moderate this relationship. These findings offer both theoretical insights and strategic implications
Pursuing sustainability development goals through adopting gender equality: women representation in leadership positions of emerging market multinationals
No full textThis study examines the competitive disadvantages rationale behind the pursuing of Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs) by emerging market multinational corporations (EM-MNCs) in foreign markets. We argue that EM-MNCs may pursue gender equality goal in host markets as a legitimation strategy to offset their strategic disadvantages inherited from the home markets. Based on a sample of foreign subsidiaries from 10 major emerging countries from 2010 to 2020, this study finds strong evidence demonstrating that the institutional quality of home markets exerts a positive effect on the representation of women in leadership positions of EM-MNCs. Additional analyses demonstrate that international experience and institutional ownership further magnify this effect
Detection of C-V2X Spoofing Attacks using Physical Layer Features and Graph Neural Networks
No full textCellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) communication underpins intelligent transportation systems but remains susceptible to spoofing attacks that inject false information, compromising safety and reliability. While traditional cryptographic security verifies sender credentials, it cannot assure the veracity of message content if credentials are compromised. Physical Layer Security (PLS) provides a complementary defense by analyzing inherent wireless signal characteristics. This paper details the implementation and simulation of an SDR-DL (Software-Defined Radio and Deep Learning) framework for C-V2X spoofing detection, inspired by recent research. The Pythonbased simulation, utilizing TensorFlow/Keras for the Position-Change Detector (PCD) and PyTorch Geometric for the Graph Neural Network (GNN), demonstrates the framework's feasibility, achieving high detection accuracy for the modeled spoofing scenarios based on Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) patterns. We discuss implementation details, highlight challenges including data requirements and computational complexity, and propose future research directions such as multi-feature fusion and explainable AI integration

Institutional voids, liability of origin, and presence of women in TMT of emerging market multinationals
No full textThis study examines the association between the pervasiveness of institutional voids in emerging markets and the inclusion of women in top management teams (TMTs) by emerging market multinational corporations (EMNCs) as a legitimation strategy. Leveraging institutional theory, we argue that EMNCs increase women presence in TMTs as a legitimation strategy to overcome the challenges of stakeholders' skepticism in foreign markets by disassociating themselves from the image of their home markets. Using a subsidiary level dataset of 1047 EMNCs from 26 emerging countries between 2009 and 2018, we find robust evidence indicating that the pervasiveness of institutional voids at home is positively related to the percentage of women in TMT's EMNCs' foreign units. This effect is particularly stronger for firms operating in countries with high institutional gender parity and low level of corruption
Global insights on TMT gender diversity in controversial industries: a legitimacy perspective
No full textFirms in controversial industries such as tobacco, alcohol, gambling, weapon, and nuclear power suffer organizational legitimacy problems. These firms, therefore, adopt various strategies to acquire legitimacy. Drawing on institutional theory, we conceptualize the top management team (TMT) gender diversity as a legitimacy-seeking strategy and examines how a firm’s belonging to a controversial sector affects TMT gender diversity. Based on a cross-country sample of 1542 firms operating in controversial industries from 34 countries and control sample with another set of 1542 similar-sized firms from non-controversial industries, the empirical evidence shows that belonging to a controversial industry exerts a positive impact on TMT gender diversity. The effect of industry belonging on TMT gender diversity is positively moderated by institutional gender parity and a low level of corruption. It indicates that institutional factors act as emancipative forces that foster women's empowerment. Taken together, our results for moderating variables highlight the role of institutional characteristics in supporting women empowerment initiatives

The survival of outward investments from China and India: Is there a North-South divide?
Full text linkMultinationals from China and India courted the economies of both the North and the South and they had different advantages in doing so. After more than two decades of successful internationalization, can the survival of Chinese and Indian investments reveal the factors that are associated with the success of EMNC investments in the North and the South? This is the main question we explore in this paper. We find that there is a North-South divide in the survival of Chinese and Indian outward investments. Investments in the North are subject to more intense competitive pressure due to the stronger technological and managerial abilities of domestic firms and survival is markedly weaker there. In Southern locations, where Chinese and Indian firms enjoy competitive advantages and industrial leadership in several areas, they also have better rates of survival. Apart from highlighting the role of relative (to host country firms) firm-specific advantages in explaining survival in the North and South, we also find that a larger diaspora in Southern locations is associated with greater survival
permanency, family ownership, and firm value: Evidence from emerging economies
No full textPrior research suggests that undertaking corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities affect firm value. We extend this line of research by considering CSR activities over a longer period (a consistent CSR behavior) and examine the impact of CSR permanency on firm value. Using a cross-country sample of 600 top-listed firms from four leading emerging economies, Brazil, Russia, India, and China (BRIC) over the period 2010–2018, we find that CSR permanency positively impacts firm value after controlling for various firm and country characteristics. This effect is observed more pronounced for family-owned firms. Additional analysis reveals that permanent CSR activities in both social and environmental dimensions positively influence firm value, however, CSR permanent activities in the social dimension exert a larger impact on firm value. Our results make important contributions to theory and practice
