Role conflict and ambiguity confronting transnational business networkers: Contrasting social stigma and relational risks for Chinese and Western boundary spanners

Our research explores the role conflict, ambiguity and resulting social stigma and relational risks that transnational B2B networkers face when facilitating the formation of new exchange dyads between firms from distinct and distant cultures, i.e. Chinese and Western. We integrate literature from institution theory and role theory to establish the comparative framework. This allows us to explore: (1) what stigma and relational risks guanxi brokers assume when facilitating transnational business connections; (2) if Western brokers encounter similar stigma and negative consequences that threaten their professional standing and the formation process; and, (3) the lessons from both that transnational firms can learn and incorporate into best practices. We conclude our paper with managerial implications and suggestions for further research.

基于文化的股市制度分析与比较

本文根据LLSV（1996,1998）所编制的“微观制度指标”（股东权利指标与债权人权利指标）,引入“宏观制度指标”及中国样本,采用文化分类体系,通过均值分析、主成分分析和回归分析等方法对影响股市发展的制度指标进行了较为全面的分析,并且还进行了所有样本国与西方文化体系样本国的对比分析。结果发现：不论在何种情况下,“宏观制度指标”对股市发展的影响都最为显著,“西方国家”不能代表“所有国家”。研究结果表明文化背景的差异对股市发展的影响不容忽视。     

Institutions,assortative matching and cultural evolution

This paper studies the role of institution in a Darwinian evolutionary process of cultural selection. The primary function of an institution is to determine how citizens in a society are matched pairwisely to interact. We examine three different types of institutions: utilitarian, egalitarian, and Nash. Two cultural types stand out in the long run through the evolutionary process. The opportunistic cultural type maximizes individual payoff against another opportunistic cultural type, while the civic-minded cultural type maximizes the total payoff of a pair. We show that the structure of the underlying interactions among citizens plays a critical role. On the one hand, the evolutionary stability of the civic-minded cultural type requires supermodularity of the citizens’ payoff function under the utilitarian institution and log-supermodularity in addition under the Nash institution. On the other hand, the evolutionary stability of the opportunistic cultural type requires submodularity of the citizens’ payoff function under the utilitarian institution and log-submodularity under the Nash institution. Neither type’s evolutionary stability is guaranteed under the egalitarian institution.     

高管本地任职与企业价值:基于家乡认同视角

在中国,家乡认同是具有代表性的传统文化,也是一种重要的非正式制度,但目前鲜有文献关注其在公司经营中的作用,本文以2003~2019年中国沪深A股上市公司作为研究样本对高管的家乡认同在企业价值创造中的作用进行实证检验。研究发现,高管本地任职有利于公司价值增长,这主要是由家乡认同驱动的,而非社会资本,并且这种关系在民营企业、有本地大客户的企业、流动性较弱和宗族观念强的地区更加显著。本文直接从家乡认同这一角度揭示了本地高管对公司价值的影响,为这一独特情感在高管决策以及企业经营中的作用提供了实证证据,对上市公司选择高管具有启发意义。
