Hence, fostering startups is indispensable for economic development. In Japan, since the beginning of the 2010s, much attention has been paid to startups, and their business environment has changed dramatically. One of the most distinctive changes is the emergence of accelerators, which originated in the United States in the 2000s and support startups in multiple ways. In response to the growth of the practical interest in accelerators, academic research on this subject has been accumulating in recent years. However, prior research fails to find

Grounding our reasoning in stakeholder theory, we develop a configurational approach that explains the interdependent impact of the three sectors of society on conflict intensity. Specifically, we argue that determinants of firms (foreign and/or domestic), civil society (rural versus urban; local stakeholder diversity; international non-profits), and governments (rule of law and economic dependence) interdependently lead to higher or lower conflict intensity. We follow the fuzzy sets (fs/QCA) logic to uncover these patterns through the analysis of a database

Geer He, Specially Appointed Assistant Professor, received Alan M. Rugman Young Scholar Award 2023. Organization: Academy of International Business (AIB) Award: Alan M. Rugman Young Scholar Award Achievements: “Enhancing entrepreneurial orientation through inter-organizational matching: Insights from advanced market firms under emerging market ownership” Abstract: Previous literature on mergers and acquisitions (M&As) of advanced market firms (AMFs) by emerging market firms (EMFs) has suggested how such M&As enable EMFs to strengthen their organizations. By contrast, scant attention has been paid to the organizational changes of the acquired AMFs, and the idea that AMFs acquired by EMFs tend not to change organization-wise prevails. Addressing this research void, this study challenges the mainstream idea of “little or no change” when examining AMFs’ post-acquisition organizational dynamics under emerging market ownership. Qualitatively theorizing from four Japanese firms’ evolutions under Chinese ownership from 2009 to 2022, I found three acquirees experienced a significant enhancement of entrepreneurial orientation (EO), manifested in organizational behaviors. I then comparatively analyzed
