MNC-Host Government Bargaining Power Relationship: A Critique and Extension Within the Resource-Based View
批判了跨国公司与东道国政府议价能力关系的现有文献，基于资源基础观提出整合理论模型，分析企业特有资源如何支撑可持续议价能力，并识别行业和国家特征的调节作用。
In this paper, we critique the literature on MNC-Host government bargaining power relationship, and propose an integrative theoretical model within the resource-based view of the firm. Recognizing that a firm’s bargaining power is directly related to rent generation, we analyze how firm-specific resources provide the basis of a sustainable bargaining power for the MNC vis-á-vis the host government. Furthermore, we identify several industry and country characteristics as moderators of the relationship between MNC resources and bargaining power. In the last section of the paper, we offer directions for future research and theory development in this area.
