Globalization and location choice: an analysis of US multinational firms in 1980 and 2000 (2007, methodology): “As argued by Dunning (1998), the increased MNC experience, knowledge and general exposure to different institutional and cultural environments during the last two decades suggest a reduction in the main effect hypothesized by the institutionalcultural variables.”
Innovation and international business (2017, background): “Thus, when speaking of firm heterogeneity in innovative IB contexts it may be more critical to establish whether firms can be regarded as insiders or as outsiders within local networks, and to develop a better understanding of the determinants of insidership or outsidership in the knowledge networks”
Offshoring and Reshoring: An Update on the Manufacturing Location Decision (2013, background): “Whereas earlier research focused on low labor cost (Porter, 1994) and financial diversification, the shift today is toward new value creation (Buckley & Hashai, 2009; Cantwell, 2009).”
Multinationals and economic geography: Location, technology and innovation (2013, positive): “cisely, space is not simply an independent exogenous variable, but we should also allow for progressive interactions between firm strategies and locations (Cantwell, 2009; Lorenzen, Maurer, & Staber, 2012).”
Foreign Location Choice: Review and Extensions (2016, neutral): “Recognizing its significance, prominent IB scholars have claimed the need for researchers to redirect their energy towards the spatial dimension of MNE activities (Buckley and Ghauri 2004; Cantwell 2009; Dunning 1998).”
Knowledge sharing and subsidiary R&D mandate development: A matter of dual embeddedness (2014, background): “Thus, arguably, improvements in a subsidiary’s R&D role depend upon effective integration within the local host country’s environment rather than simply on siting activities in a munificent location (Cantwell, 2009).”
Prior to reshoring: A duration analysis of foreign manufacturing ventures (2015, result): “This finding confirms previous studies (Ellram et al., 2013; Mudambi, 2008; Cantwell, 2009) arguing that strategic assets seeking is becoming key in explaining (re)locations, when compared to efficiency or resource seeking.”
A dynamic capabilities-based entrepreneurial theory of the multinational enterprise (2014, neutral): “Notwithstanding his early contributions, international business scholarship has left capabilities considerations underdeveloped, to its considerable detriment (e.g., Birkinshaw & Hood, 1998; Cantwell, 2009; Langlois, 2007).”
Distance without direction: Restoring credibility to a much-loved construct (2012, background): “Finally, we suggest that not only do distance constructs have the potential to complement research streams such as those on location and space, all three research streams could benefit greatly from exploring the connections between their respective constructs and variables (Beugelsdijk, McCann, & Mu”
Travel time and the liability of distance in foreign direct investment: Location choice and entry mode (2012, neutral): “We model these simultaneously, and do so within a single country, finding withincountry heterogeneity by controlling for location diversity (Cantwell, 2009), with the goals of further explaining the mixed findings in prior research (Zhao, Luo, & Suh, 2004) and focusing on TCE costs while holding con”
