Beyond Hofstede and GLOBE: Improving the quality of cross-cultural research (2010, background): “For example, Rugman and Verbeke (2004, 2005, 2008) have shown in the context of regional vs global strategies of the Fortune Global 500 companies, that input markets appear to be much less prone to suffer from costs of distance than output markets, because resource commitments by the firm at the…”
Foreign Location Choice: Review and Extensions (2016, unknown): “Second, on the demand side, location-specificity of firm assets – location-specific investments that MNEs incur in a foreign market (Rugman and Verbeke 2005) – has not attenuated significantly, despite popular predictions of an emerging frictionless global market (e.g. Levitt 1984; Ohmae 1985).”
Local, regional, or global? Quantifying MNE geographic scope (2009, unknown): “While most studies of regionalism have emphasized empirics (with notable exceptions such as Rugman and Verbeke, 2005), they implicitly build on and extend the concept of liability of foreignness, which originates with the work of Hymer (1976).”
The Three Faces of Bounded Reliability: Alfred Chandler and the Micro-Foundations of Management Theory (2015, background): “We view the envelope concept of bounded reliability (BRel), first introduced by Rugman and Verbeke, as a more appropriate micro-foundation for studying the behavior of economic actors.(13) BRel refers to economic actors being reliable, but only boundedly so (similar to bounded rationality referring ”
Home Country Institutions and the Internationalization-Performance Relationship (2016, background): “A larger scope of internationalization can also complicate the exploitation of firm-specific assets (Rugman & Verbeke, 2005), thus negatively affecting performance.”
A perspective on multinational enterprises and climate change: Learning from “an inconvenient truth”? (2008, background): “…countries (Ghemawat, 2001) in terms of dissimilarity of environmental regulations usually results in higher adaptation costs (in order to realize location-specific ‘linking’ investments) for alignment with the CSAs of these particular host countries (King & Shaver, 2001; Rugman & Verbeke, 2005).”
Global, Local, or Regional? The Locus of MNE Strategies (2016, unknown): “In other words, linking investments (Rugman and Verbeke, 2005) must typically be made by the MNE to blend extant resources with locally accessible ones held by host country resource owners, thereby driving the creation of new, location-bound FSAs in host countries, i.e., an ability to be nationally…”
Experience, age and exporting performance in UK SMEs (2016, background): “…early Please cite this article in press as: Love, J. H., et al. Experience, age and (2015), http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ibusrev.2015.10.001 internationalising firms are more likely to be ‘born regional’ than ‘born global’ (D’Angelo et al., 2013; Gallego & Casillas, 2014; Rugman & Verbeke, 2005).”
