“International diversification with frontier markets”

We provide an analysis of frontier market equities with respect to world market integration and diversification. Principal component results reveal that frontier markets exhibit low levels of integration. In contrast with developed and emerging markets, frontier markets offer no indication of increasing integration through time. Furthermore, individual frontier market countries do not exhibit consistent rates of changing integration. Structural break tests identify breakpoints in integration, as well as integration dynamics across countries. We show that frontier markets have low integration with the world market and thereby offer significant diversification benefits.

“Internationalization and Regional Entrepreneurship in China”

This study examines the importance of geographic location on the empirical link between internationalization and entrepreneurial intention. Integrating data from multiple sources to create a measure of internationalization intensity, this study directly contributes to the literature by revealing a significant and more complex relationship between internationalization and entrepreneurship than previously suggested in the literature. Specifically, while highly internationalized locations allow better access to resource markets they may also hinder entrepreneurship for several reasons, including the fact that these locations have higher competition for resources. Results provide direct empirical support to recent theories on the importance of within country comparative differences.

“Inventory and Global Sourcing: The Moderating Role of a Supply Chain Management Executives”

We investigate the relationship between global sourcing and inventory investment with a focus on the moderating impact of a Supply Chain Management Executive (SCME) on that relationship. Due to the increased uncertainties and shipment lot sizes associated with sourcing from international locations, firms sourcing from foreign markets are seen to have higher inventory investment. This problem is expected to be compounded when a firm buys from multiple countries. Our theory driven hypotheses suggests that firms with a designated SCME are able to counter the negative impacts of global sourcing and, in turn, are able to have lower inventory investments vis-a-vis their counterparts without a designated SCME. Estimating an econometric model using data collected from multiple sources we support our hypotheses that global sourcing intensive firms with a SCME have lower inventory levels than their counterparts without a designated SCME. This is a significant contribution to the growing stream of literature exploring the impact the SCME’s.
