The purpose of this study is to expand previously published work in examining the attitudes of financial managers towards the investment tax credit. This article specifically investigates and analyzes the perceptions that financial managers have with respect to the impact of the ITC in the input allocation decisions of the firm. This research indicates that financial managers do not believe that the ITC is an important inducement to investment behavior. More importantly, the ITC does not often result in employing capital that requires hiring additional employees. However, this research indicates that there might be an important exception to this. There appears to be a marked relationship with respect to those who stated that the ITC resulted in purchasing new technology and respondents who staled that the ITC resulted in increasing employment. In limited cases, therefore, the ITC appears to lead to an expansion o1 the work lorce through capital formation. 相似文献

This paper discusses the nature of foreign direct investments by firms from developing countries in industrialized country markets, which is coined as “reverse direct investment.” On the basis of the experiences of the Korean consumer electronics firms operating in the U.S., this paper identifies the nature of the investment as “defensive” and “premature“ strategic moves of firms in their internationalization process. There investment are made not to exploit firms' monopolistic firm-specific advantages, but to protect their export markets at an earlier time than economic forces might have led them to do. However, in the process, firms try to convert their home country-specific advantage (e.g. low labor cost) into firm-specific ones as much as possible. [440] 相似文献

This study examines how the institutional distance between a host country and a home country influences foreign subsidiary staffing, and how overseas business experience moderates the effect of institutional distance. Hypotheses regarding the effect of institutional distance on foreign subsidiary staffing are empirically tested using a sample of 2,980 foreign subsidiaries of Japanese firms. This study shows that although the ratio of parent country nationals to subsidiary employees decreases when firms face greater institutional distance, the absolute number of parent country nationals assigned to the subsidiary increases. This study also shows that firms with more overseas business experience replace host country nationals with parent country nationals when there is greater institutional distance. 相似文献

Linking Linear/Nonlinear Thinking Style Balance and Managerial Ethical Decision-Making 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This study presents the results of an empirical analysis of the relationship between managerial thinking style and ethical
decision-making. Data from 200 managers across multiple organizations and industries demonstrated that managers predominantly
adopt a utilitarian perspective when forming ethical intent across a series of business ethics vignettes. Consistent with
expectations, managers utilizing a balanced linear/nonlinear thinking style demonstrated a greater overall willingness to
provide ethical decisions across ethics vignettes compared to managers with a predominantly linear thinking style. However,
results comparing the ethical decision-making of balanced thinking managers and nonlinear thinking managers were generally
inconsistent across the ethics vignettes. Unexpectedly, managers utilizing a balanced linear/nonlinear thinking style were
least likely to adopt an act utilitarian rationale for ethical decision-making across the vignettes, suggesting that balanced
thinkers may be more likely to produce ethical decisions by considering a wider range of alternatives and ruling out those
that are justified solely on the basis of their outcomes. Implications are discussed for future research and practice related
to management education and development, and ethical decision-making theory.

Abstract With a firm‐level data set, we study the location decision of South Korean multinationals across China's regions. Our conditional logit estimates confirm agglomeration effects along industry and along national lines. We add an upstream and downstream (backward and forward) linkage effect. We find that the presence of upstream and downstream South Korean affiliates significantly increases the likelihood that a South Korean multinational invests in a particular region. However, linkages that do not differentiate by nationality do not seem to matter much. As such, our analysis of investors' location choice brings together two perspectives: linkages and agglomeration along national lines. 相似文献

An assumption shared by most agricultural economists is that, as farm numbers decline in a democratic government, farm policy attention from rule-makers will decline as well. This assumption – despite important work to the contrary in institutional economics – is often voiced in federated governing units, especially the U.S., where constituents are locally organized and the commitment of rule-makers to nationwide policy is limited. While significant theoretical literature challenges that majoritarian view from the perspective of interest-group theory, this is the first empirical test and explanation of the behavior of rule-makers. The findings of this analysis indicate that classic majoritarian expectations are not met in the U.S. Congress. Instead, unexpectedly large numbers of legislators seek favorable policy action for farmers as distinct minorities within their districts. However, these same legislators balance their attention to farmers by also taking policy action in agriculture on behalf of other types of constituents. Legislators explain these actions as the result of their own electoral needs to satisfy vocal minorities from their political districts plus the ease with which they can marginally adjust a large base of U.S. farm programs. Thus, a kind of neo-majoritarianism emerges. These results are especially important given the growing attention to federated governance in the European Union, East Europe, in North America through free trade agreements, and with the GATT. They indicate that farmers will continue, despite shrinking numbers, to be influential in those governing structures that have historically strong farm programs and the capacity to diversify from that policy base. 相似文献
