Guest Editors' Introduction Strategy Research in Emerging Economies: Challenging the Conventional Wisdom* (2005, unknown): “For example, Brouthers and Brouthers (2003), based on data from Central and Eastern Europe, find that behavioural uncertainty is of higher relevance to service firm FDI, while environmental uncertainty is of prime concern to manufacturing firm FDI.”
Using Transaction Cost Economics to explain outsourcing of accounting (2010, background): “to other specific contexts obtained a Cronbach’s alpha between 0.60 and 0.70 (Klein et al. 1990; Erramilli and Rao 1993; Brouthers and Brouthers 2003 ).”
Export propensity and intensity of subsidiaries in emerging economies (2008, background): “In consequence, foreign investors may modify their strategies, notably locational choices (Bevan, Estrin, & Meyer, 2004; Meyer & Nguyen, 2005) and entry modes ( Brouthers & Brouthers, 2003; Henisz, 2003; Meyer, 2001).”
Integrating variable risk preferences, trust, and transaction cost economics – 25 years on: reflections in memory of Oliver Williamson (2021, background): “In the management literature on TCE, although our limited review identified a number of studies addressing the topic of risk in TCE (e.g. Brouthers and Brouthers, 2003; Das and Teng, 2001; Nooteboom et al., 1997; Tyler and Steensma, 1998; Weber and Mayer, 2014), the assumption of risk neutrality…”
The effect of cultural distance on entry mode choice, international diversification, and MNE performance: a meta-analysis (2005, methodology): “choice have generally been the degree of control embodied within each choice, and the desire to reduce risk (Anand and Delios, 1997; Hennart and Reddy, 1997; Brouthers and Brouthers, 2003).”
Interpreting Results From the Multinomial Logit Model (2015, methodology): “Moreover, potential problems caused by recall bias were minimized by only asking with regard to the most recent entry (Brouthers & Brouthers, 2003).”
The Moderating Impact of Informal Institutional Distance and Formal Institutional Risk on SME Entry Mode Choice (2011, unknown): “721) adapted from earlier research (Brouthers and Brouthers, 2003; Erramilli and Rao, 1993).”
SME Entry Mode Choice and Performance: A Transaction Cost Perspective (2004, methodology): “Third, because of industry differences identified by scholars such as Brouthers and Brouthers (2003) and Erramilli and Rao (1993), we needed to control for potential entry mode decision differences between firms in different industries.”
Extending the internationalization process model: Increases and decreases of MNE commitment in emerging economies (2011, background): “Manufacturing FDI requires greater investments in plant, equipment and inventory, and is thus more sensitive to environmental uncertainty, whereas, because of the people-intensive nature of services, service firms are more influenced by behavioral uncertainties (Brouthers & Brouthers, 2003).”
