Managing A Network Of Plants Within Multinational Firms, Thomas Brush, Catherine Maritan, Aneel Karnani Jan 1996

Managing A Network Of Plants Within Multinational Firms, Thomas Brush, Catherine Maritan, Aneel Karnani

Purdue CIBER Working Papers

The paper examines whether plants with different roles in a multinational network of plants use different management systems to coordinate production and technical decision. The paper first tests and supports the Ferdows (1989) technology distinctions concerning plant roles. Following Ferdows (1989), it empirically examines the proposition that the degree of managerial autonomy varies according to strategic role of the plant. Our findings suggest that different plant roles require different management systems and different levels of responsibility for decisions. Further, it shows which systems need to be differentiated if plants with different roles are combined within the same business unit.


Implementing Market Access, Kala Krishna, Marie Thursby, Suddhasatwa Roy Jan 1996

Implementing Market Access, Kala Krishna, Marie Thursby, Suddhasatwa Roy

Purdue CIBER Working Papers

The outcome of trade policies to increase access for foreign firms to the home country's market is shown to be sensitive to the implementation procedure used. The importance of the timing of moves between government and firms is highlighted by focusing on subsidies to implement minimum market share requirements.


Adjustment And Job Satisfaction As Antecedents Of Intent To Stay: The Case Of Japanese Expatriates In The United States, John M. Hannon, Riki Takeuchi Jan 1996

Adjustment And Job Satisfaction As Antecedents Of Intent To Stay: The Case Of Japanese Expatriates In The United States, John M. Hannon, Riki Takeuchi

Purdue CIBER Working Papers

The purpose of this study was to concurrently examine the effects of expatriate adjustment and job satisfaction on intent to stay for a sample of Japanese expatriates. The paper has two airms: (1) to extend the findings of Black and Stephens (1989), who concluded that adjustment is a multidimensional construct comprised of general, interaction, and work adjustment, and (2) to examine the effects of another relevant, yet neglected, explanatory variable, job satisfaction, on intent to stay. Data from a matched-pair set of 119 expatriates and their spouses were used. Several significant relationships were found. First, the multidimensionality of expatriate adjustment …


Antecedents Of Expatriate Spouse Adjustment: An Analysis Of Japanese Spouses In The United States, Riki Takeuchi, John Hannon Jan 1996

Antecedents Of Expatriate Spouse Adjustment: An Analysis Of Japanese Spouses In The United States, Riki Takeuchi, John Hannon

Purdue CIBER Working Papers

This is one of the first studies investigating factors related to the adjustment of expatriate spouses. The study extends, both conceptually and methodologically, the limited research on spouse adjustment by testing the effects of language profciency and educational level on adjustment. Furthermore, it is the first study to survey non US respondents in their native language. In the end, we found that time since arrival, educational level, language proficiency, and willingness to communicate are directly related to spouse adjustment.


International Lending By Us Banks, Neven Tomov Valev Jan 1996

International Lending By Us Banks, Neven Tomov Valev

Purdue CIBER Working Papers

We offer a model inwhich lenders differ in wealth endowments and choose the quality of information which they use in the process of foreign lending. We trace the effects of foreign and domestic interest rates, quality of information, quality of the pool of lending opportunities, etc. on the dicision to acquire information.


A Survey Of Evidence On Domestic And International Stock Exchange Listings With Implications For Markets And Managers, John M. Mcconnell, Heidi J. Dybevik, David Haushalter, Erik Lie Jan 1996

A Survey Of Evidence On Domestic And International Stock Exchange Listings With Implications For Markets And Managers, John M. Mcconnell, Heidi J. Dybevik, David Haushalter, Erik Lie

Purdue CIBER Working Papers

As new equity markets continue to emerge worldwide, the topic area of stock exchange listings has sparked interest among financial scholars and corporate managers alike. In this article, we review and synthesize empirical studies that examine both new and dual international and intranational listings of common stocks. The studies that we review have been conducted to provide managers and policty makers with information about the effects of listing on stock prices and to use listings as a venue to provide insights about market organization, market micro-structure, factors that determine stock prices and returns, and international capital market integration. In general, …

Trade Creation And Trade Diversion: New Empirical Results, Jon D. Haveman, David L. Hummels Jan 1996

Trade Creation And Trade Diversion: New Empirical Results, Jon D. Haveman, David L. Hummels

Purdue CIBER Working Papers

In recent years, there has been a rise in the popularity of preferential trading arrangements (PTA), and an equally precipitous rise in the number of papers studying the effects of regionalism. In this paper we assess the effect of preferential trading arrangements on the aggregate and bilateral trading patterns of member countries, and test for three effects of PTAs.


Inflation An Asymmetric Price Adjustment, Robert A. Buckle, John A. Carlson Jan 1996

Inflation An Asymmetric Price Adjustment, Robert A. Buckle, John A. Carlson

Purdue CIBER Working Papers

This paper uses a unique micro data set to test for the presence of price asymmetries at the firm level. We find that firm pricing is indeed asymmetric, as Tobin (1972) suggested. Moreover, there is strong evidence to support Ball and Mankiw's (1994) suggestion that firm price asymmetry is dependent on inflation.


Agency Costs And The Performance Implications Of International Joint Venture Internalization, Jeffrey J. Reuer, Kent D. Miller Jan 1996

Agency Costs And The Performance Implications Of International Joint Venture Internalization, Jeffrey J. Reuer, Kent D. Miller

Purdue CIBER Working Papers

Recent studies have examined the determinants of international joint venture (IJV) formations and stock market reactions to such investments. Less is known, however, about the evolution of IJVs and the attendant performance implications for parent firms. This paper examines one specific type of IJV evolution, IJB internalization, whereby one firm acquires the IJV by buying out its partner(s). Standard agency theory variables are hypothesized toinfluence parent firm valuation effects. The results indicate that parent firm valuation effects are positively related to the parent firm equity owned by insiders and the interaction of debt financing and free cash flow.
