The Influence of Top Management Team International Exposure on International Alliance Formation
基于关系资本理论，研究发现高管团队的国际经历越多，企业越容易建立国际联盟，且环境不确定性越高时这种作用越强。
abstract This study examines the effect of top management team (TMT) international exposure on the formation of international alliances. We develop our arguments based on relational capital theory to suggest that top executives with international exposure are critical to firms’ international alliance formation. Supporting this view, we find that TMT international exposure is positively associated with the formation of international alliances. Moreover, we find evidence to suggest that the effect of TMT international exposure on international alliance formation is more positive as the level of environmental uncertainty increases. We discuss implications and directions for future research.
