Down with MNE-centric theories! Market entry and expansion as the bundling of MNE and local assets (2009, background): “…has argued that hybrids are chosen when both asset specificity and uncertainty are at intermediate levels, some authors, for example Erramilli and Rao (1993) and Brouthers, Brouthers, and Werner (2003), have modeled the choice between WOSs and EJVs in terms of differing levels of asset specificity.”
The end of the opportunism vs trust debate: Bounded reliability as a new envelope concept in research on MNE governance (2009, background): “Importantly, many of the papers briefly mention the opportunism concept or expressions thereof (such as shirking), but only one of these papers, namely Brouthers et al.
