Internationalization, Globalization, and Capability-Based Strategy
提出一个基于能力而非市场的跨国公司战略框架,解释企业根据能力类型和战略进行国际扩张与全球整合的组织后果。
Current trends appear to suggest that globally integrated strategies are the wave of the future for many industries, but no theoretically sound, firm-level model explains this situation. International business models explain industry trends from economic perspectives, and organizational theory is beginning to examine the organizing principles of multinational firms, but a gap exists in explaining the strategic motivations of multinational firms as they expand and integrate worldwide. This article develops a capability-driven, as opposed to market-driven, framework of multinational strategy. This contingent framework explains the organizational consequences of international expansion and global integration depending on the capability types, capability strategies, and multinational strategies of the multinational firm.
