VIRTUAL CONFERENCE THEME: Ethical Implications for Business and Society of a Post-COVID Recovery: Challenges, Opportunities and Impact
October 20-22, 2022 – Virtual Event
Hosted by St. John’s University & the Center for Global Business Stewardship, and co-sponsored by: DePaul University, Niagara University and Dublin City University
With the prospect of a post-pandemic recovery, questions are emerging around how we shape that recovery, and how we might reinvent the ways in which we conduct work, address societal ills and favor marginalized populations, all while respecting the norms of behavior that constitute an ethical society. While the pandemic has brought with it unprecedented challenges for our era, it has also served as a much-needed wake-up call to more directly tackle the seemingly intractable problems that fray the corners of the fabric of a civil society.
We focus the theme of the conference on the ethical effects of the Post-COVID recovery on markets, workers, consumers, and educators including, but not limited to issues related to: health and well-being; the Great Resignation; economic freefall or economic rebound; climate change; social justice and equity; human dignity; and, the common good. Keynote addresses by leaders of industry, higher education and NGOs, along with academic paper sessions and paper development workshops will be used to spur discussion amongst conference participants on critical ethical issues stemming from our experience of the post-pandemic age, which creates both challenges and opportunities for business and society.
CALL FOR PROPOSALS:
We encourage proposals from academics, business professionals and young scholars that relate to the role that the pandemic has played in urging a just transformation of social systems in its wake, and recognizing the fundamental ethical questions that surface in effecting change. We also welcome proposals on broader ethical topics from scholars who have an interest in and commitment to the study and discussion of business and professional ethics.
We require a two to three-page proposal (Word or PDF formats) that may include one of the following:
• •An empirical, theoretical or pedagogical research paper, including meta-analytic approaches tounderstanding knowledge in the field;
• •A practical case study;
• •An emerging pedagogical approach to bringing questions of post-pandemic recovery to the classroom;
• •A panel session or symposium featuring business, NFP, and/or academic leaders who would discussproblems and challenges in fashioning policy responses to the pandemic and post-pandemic recovery
All submissions must indicate whether they are “Abstract only”, or “Full” papers, i.e., with an intention to submit a full paper to be considered for the “Patrick Primeaux Best Paper Award” by the designated deadline. Final proposals for inclusion in the conference will be selected through a blind referee process based on the quality of the submission and its relation to the broader theme of the conference. Authors must abide by the “rule of two”.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR PUBLICATION:
Following the conference, participants will be invited to submit finalized papers for publication consideration in the Review of Business, the Journal of Vincentian Social Action or the Journal of Religion and Business Ethics.
KEY DATES AND DETAILS:
Abstract Proposals due*: June 15, 2022
Decision Date: July 15, 2022
Submission of Full Papers for Patrick Primeaux Best Paper Award: August 1, 2022
Registration and payment due: September 15, 2022
Conference Dates: October 20 – 22, 2022

Who owns the firm (local or foreign shareholders, governments or private investors, concentrated or diffused shareholders, traditional or alternative investors) has long been an essential
topic for research on organizations. At
the
same
time,
our
conceptualization
of
ownership
has
widened
over
time
to
incorporate owners as strategists (most prominently in the case of entrepreneurial financiers), sources of capital (as in the case of large joint-stock companies), and mechanisms
of control (direct or via institutional intermediaries).
The
linkages
and
tensions
amongst these
conceptual
foundations
(for
instance,
the
tension between ownership, ownership structures, and control) have been the focus of a large literature in global strategy. At the same time, this diversity in conceptual foundations
provides numerous opportunities for advancing our understanding of the role of ownership in global strategy. This is the objective of this special issue: analyzing how ownership affects global strategy and, by extension, how strategies are employed to accommodate
owners.
Although
not
an
exhaustive
list,
we
would
particularly
welcome
papers
that
have
a
scope that
goes
beyond national boundaries
and look at questions such as those listed below.
Owners
as
strategists:
1.
International
private
equity:
2.
Sovereign
wealth
funds:
3.
International
venture
capital:
4.
International
crowdfunding:
5.
International
hedge
funds:
a.
What
is
the
effect
of
hedge
fund
activism
on
managerial
behavior
in
investee
firms?
b.
How
do
hedge
funds
impact
the
management
of
the
overseas
firms
they
invest in?
c.
What
is
the
impact of
the
increased
usage
of
high-frequency
trading by
international
hedge funds in different national systems on target firm policies and practices?
d.
What is the impact of co-investment by hedge funds and other alternative investors on investee firms?
6.
What
are
emerging
regulatory
responses,
perhaps
as
a
form
of
financial
protectionism,
to
alternative
and
institutional
investors
at
the
national
and
supranational
levels,
and
how
do
these
affect
investors and investees?
7.
Why do firms acquire strategic assets across borders in a portfolio manner (as opposed to direct ownership)?
What
are
the
implications
for
ownership
and
control,
and
how
does
this
affect strategy in investee firms?
8.
What
is
the
effect
of
country
of
origin
on
corporate
control
by
institutional
investors
from
abroad?
9.
How do United Nations’ sustainable development goals reshape the investment strategy of international investors?

Webinar
Digital technology and international entry modes: New trends, databases and research areas. Time for some new theories.
8:00 – 9:30 am (EDT), March 31, 2022
Panelists:
Organizers:
International entry mode has been one of the defining research topics for international business (IB), with numerous classic articles claiming prestigious
awards at most prominent IB journals. While this research stream has much advanced our understanding of foreign entry, it also restricts the conceptualization of entry modes to discrete organizational structures that can mitigate contractual concerns related
to specific cross-border transactions. Meanwhile, advances in digital technology and changes in institutional frameworks (e.g., financial institutions) are paving the way for novel entry modes that are defined by firm involvement, instead of investment, in
foreign markets. This has resulted in a notable trend in the literature that focuses on asset-light international entries that are no longer structures for coordinating cost and control issues. For instance, international expansion of digital platforms represents
the entry of inverted firms or ecosystems for which the locus of value-adding activities and ownership of value-creating assets resides outside the focal firm’s legal boundary.
Theoretical arguments underlying such novel entries have also evolved. For example, many scholars emphasize the liability of outsidership rather than the
liability of foreignness and recognize network advantages in addition to asset-based and transaction-based advantages.
Without due recognition of these novel entry modes that involve limited local asset ownership, the entry mode literature risks missing out on
important foreign entry phenomena of the modern era.
This
webinar aims at discussing and debating the need for revaluating traditional entry mode research on the wake of recent global transitions such as emergence of platforms, possibility of virtual
entries to foreign countries, and ease of establishing innovation outposts. Subsequently, the webinar will explore the emergence of novel entry modes and discuss new theoretical frameworks to incorporate these advances. Finally, panellists will discuss new
databases that can help advance and integrate traditional and novel entry mode research. We welcome questions from the attendees during the webinar.

It is our great pleasure to invite scholars to submit their research to the 2023
Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, HICSS. This conference, includes many themes that are of interest to IB scholars. Particularly, the
increase of importance of digitalization in connection to IB is a theme at the conference. Below, more information:
https://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-56/knowledge-innovation-and-entrepreneurial-systems/#global-digital-business-minitrack
Building on past years’ experience, we seek contributions that focus on the role of digitalization
in entrepreneurial and internationalizing firms.
We focus on efficient and effective knowledge exchange that is pivotal for global business practice and sustained business performance in foreign endeavours. Our mini-track covers aspects related to entrepreneurship, marketing, management,
international business, digitalization, knowledge intensive firms like born digitals, and the role of information systems within these contexts. Our methodological and theoretical standpoints contemplate qualitative, quantitative, and mixed method research
approaches, where cross-pollination of fields of research is particularly relevant. We thus welcome papers from researchers as well as practitioners, in the hope of attaining better understanding of thematical areas such as the below ones:
·

No. 327Â Â March 21, 2022
A managed dispute-resolution insurance scheme for countries in investor-state arbitration: Ensuring early legal representation of respondents
by
Ucheora Onwuamaegbu*Â
It is impractical for most governments to maintain a standing team of expert legal representatives focused on international arbitration proceedings with foreign investors, especially when such cases are a rarity for most countries.[1] Consequently, at the onset of many international arbitration proceedings, governments often lose valuable time while decisions are made on whether and how to quickly procure and finance the services of qualified external counsel.[2]
Â
This initial period coincides with the time during which many important procedural deadlines occur, such as those relating to the constitution of the arbitral tribunal.[3] Indeed, within the first 60-90 days of a proceeding, respondents are under significant pressure to meet case deadlines, while contending with procurement and funding issues surrounding the selection and appointment of external counsels and facing an opponent whose team has undergone months or more of preparation.
Â
This uneven start of arbitration proceedings can be harmful to investors and countries alike. It creates an imbalance that may persist throughout the proceedings, sometimes resulting in outcomes that undermine the legitimacy of the investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) system.
Â
This problem can be addressed through a new form of insurance cover. It would vary in scope according to the needs of client governments and could be based on time or specific proceedings-related milestones. It could, for example, specify a payout of a particular sum or provide for legal representation financing for the first six months, or until tribunals are constituted. Actuaries and other insurance professionals would devise formulae for calculating the pricing of the insurance cover considering, inter alia, the level of exposure to risk of the insured country and how likely it is to use the insurance. Real market forces would determine the cost of the insurance coverage. As a result, the prospect of impossibly high premium assessments would help mitigate any possibility of governments becoming emboldened by the availability of legal representation to engage in activities contrary to their stated pro-foreign investment policies. The insurance would, thus, not be a license for host countries to act irresponsibly toward foreign investors.
Â
The payout under an insurance cover would facilitate prompt access to expert legal representation, especially in the early stages of arbitrations. At its most basic, the insurance would simply provide ready funds for governments to pay for services they procure from the open market as and when the covered event occurs.
Â
For still greater efficiency, the insurance could, under a scheme administered by a stand-alone entity or as part of an existing body, enable the prompt recommendation of qualified counsel to governments. In this scenario, the scheme’s administrator would promptly assign cases to pre-qualified legal representatives in a regularly updated pool, which could include law firms and individual experts. The pool could also include service providers under the various initiatives offering pro-bono or low-cost legal assistance to governments involved in investor-state arbitration, such as the Advisory Centre on International Investment Law currently being considered by UNCITRAL.Â
Â
Early—and almost “automaticâ€â€”activation of the scheme would be essential. This could be achieved by stipulating, in the instrument of consent to arbitration or in the applicable procedural rules, a requirement for early notification of the existence of the dispute to the scheme’s administrator. However, governments could decide not to rely on the insurance—they would always retain discretion to accept, reject or discontinue their engagement of any assigned counsel.
Â
If an established organization, such as ICSID, UNCITRAL or UNCTAD, were to administer the scheme, it could, where applicable, devote a minimal percentage of member countries’ dues to its administration. Administration by an independent entity could be funded from dues of participating governments and/or the insurance companies that offer coverage. Countries that are unable to easily afford the insurance premium could seek support from their investment treaty partners, for example, as part of the “technical†and other support that have become a regular feature in trade and investment treaties.
Â
Undoubtedly, early and proper representation of each side in investment arbitration proceedings will help ensure that the proceedings are more efficient and result in better quality outcomes, including awards that are less susceptible to successful challenge. The idea of “dispute resolution insurance in ISDS†would thus be beneficial to countries and investors alike.[4]Â

The author wishes to thank Jose Alvarez, Stephen Schwebel and an anonymous peer reviewer for their helpful peer reviews, and Lee Caplan, Alejandro Escobar, Timothy Feighery, John Gaffney, and Ruth Teitelbaum for their useful comments.[1] Over three quarters of the countries in UNCTAD’s investment-treaty-disputes database have either never been involved in any case or have faced only ten or fewer cases.[2] ICSID Secretariat’s records indicate that governments are taking at least three-to-four months after ICSID’s registration of an arbitration request to appoint external counsel. Yet, governments would have known about the disputes for months, due to the cooling-off period required in most instruments of consent, and the time ICSID takes to review the request before registration.[3] See, e.g., ICSID, UNCITRAL and the SCC Rules, which provide for strict deadlines for the constitution of tribunals, the initial procedural session and certain jurisdictional objections.[4] While this proposal focuses on ISDS, the same mechanism could also apply to other types of cases involving a country as respondent.

Views of both scholars and practitioners on ESG (environment, society, and governance) have changed drastically in the past decade.
Once seen as a niche issue relegated to operational compliance, and fragmented from core corporate strategies, now it is central to boardroom conversations worldwide. Does ESG really matter, or is it just another management fad? There are several reasons why
ESG is more than just a fad and why it has recently taken centre stage in business. First, as the most widely accepted metric that operationalizes somewhat blurry corporate sustainability and CSR concepts, ESG is firmly entrenched in finance. ESG-themed investment
funds amassed more than $40 trillion in assets as of 2021 (Bloomberg Intelligence, 2021). More than 3,000 institutional investors pledged to incorporate ESG issues into their investment analyses and decision-making processes using the Principles of Responsible
Investment (PRI) (UN PRI, 2022). Second, climate change is accelerating the phenomenon of ESG proliferation. As one of the most pressing grand challenges that government, society, and business circles face. Some estimates suggest that climate change would
wipe off up to 18% of the global gross domestic product (GDP) by mid-century unless the world substantially reduces greenhouse gas emissions (Guo et al., 2021). Now, the global
challenge is to transition to a net-zero economy, balancing between the amount of greenhouse gas produced and the mount removed from the atmosphere. To accomplish this goal, we need cooperation on a global scale. Yet, international cooperation has not been
effective in this area. Although more than 140 countries, covering 90% of global emissions, announced or considered the net-zero (Climate Action Tracker, 2021), our ability to mitigate climate risk is uncertain.
ESG and climate change have inarguably become essential issues in the international business (IB) literature. In a hyper-globalized
economy connected from emerging to developed economies, ESG and climate change response metrics should map and evaluate businesses’ globalized value chains and their impacts (Linnenluecke, 2022). Institutional differences among countries in designing, implementing,
and enforcing regulatory policies regarding ESG and climate change remain one of the greatest challenges to multinational enterprises (MNEs) (Fransen et al., 2019; Rivera et al., 2022). Studies have shown that MNEs do not always transfer best practices to
their subsidiaries. Managers of MNEs may transfer irresponsible business practices abroad where they are less obvious to home country stakeholders (Surroca et al.,
2013; Brammer et al., 2021; Stringer & Michailova, 2018). A conventional belief that trade liberalization is creating a "race to the bottom" and motivating firms to seek pollution havens (e.g., Levinson and Taylor, 2008; McGuire, 1982; Rivera and Oh, 2013)
might not be unfounded. On the bright side, however, there are also positive spill-over effects of ESG strategies on performance; perhaps most notably on global value chain networks. For example, Walmart has made a series of sustainability commitments by engaging
its more than 100,000 suppliers globally (Walmart, 2022a, 2022b). Walmart's Standard for Suppliers plays as a de facto regulation for its suppliers and serves as momentum to consider ESG issues regardless of where they operate. ESG, climate change, and their
deeply involved recent conundrum such as the pandemic and social unrest have led firms to fundamentally rethink and reshape their global and local businesses and value chains to mitigate vulnerabilities (Howard-Grenville et al., 2014 Kano and Oh, 2020; Oh
and Oetzel, 2022).
How do ESG and climate change challenge international businesses? How do MNEs strategically address these challenges to achieve competitiveness
and simultaneously deliver positive social impact? How should a MNE’s ESG performance adequately address its impact on local stakeholders? How do ESG and climate change interact with geopolitical issues in shaping international business environments? While
the emerging body of research expands our understanding of ESG issues in international business, numerous unresolved inquiries on these topics become evident (Rivera et al., 2022; Linnenluecke, 2022). Moreover, there is a gap in the literature to explore the
dynamic nature of ESG’s impact on MNEs’ global value networks in the international context (Lee et al., 2014). MNEs may facilitate ESG globally (Nair et
al., 2016; Flammer, 2015), while shifting irresponsibility onto other regions (Brammer et al., 2021; Surroca et al., 2013), which requires above and beyond the conventional explanation of a static view. The recent move towards reshoring, nearshoring, and regionalizing
global value networks might be an early manifestation of what could become more widespread. In fact, more research on the integration of ESG, climate change, and reshaping of global business networks has been called for (e.g., Howard-Grenville et al., 2014).
Multinational Business Review
invites the submission of theoretical and empirical studies that explore the intersection of ESG, climate change, and international business. The special issue on "ESG and climate change issues in multinational enterprises" will
accept contributions from wide range of research traditions such as IB, strategy, organization, and economic geography and encourage multidisciplinary submissions. Considering the research on ESG and climate change in the international context is at its early
stage, the Special Issue encourages research contributions that address hitherto unexplored issues and attempt to present an original framework challenging conventional approaches to the IB literature through various methodological approaches.
Possible paper topics include, but are not limited to:
Papers should be submitted electronically to
MBR according to the instructions which can be found by following the links at:
https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tmbr. Authors need to select the Special Issue from the dropdown menu in Manuscript Central in order for submissions to be considered for the SI.
Authors should consult the
MBR home webpage and conform to the required format for submission. All papers will be refereed according to the usual practices of the journal and the first review will be completed within 90 days of the receipt of the manuscript. The deadline for submission
is September 15, 2022.
Authors whose papers are successfully evaluated after a first invitation to revise and resubmit will invited to present the papers at a
MBR paper development workshop to be held in Summer 2023 at which the editorial team will provide additional feedback. Every effort will be made to cover hotel and local expenses for one author of each paper that is invited to the workshop. Attendance
at the workshop is not a prerequisite for the acceptance of papers. Presentation at the workshop does not necessarily guarantee publication in the special issue.

Dear friends and colleagues,
We are delighted to announce the publication of the June 2022 issue (volume 31, issue 3) of
International Business Review.
The lead paper on “The paradox and change of Russian cultural values” is authored by Dina Chimenson, Rosalie Tung, Andrei Panibratov and Tony Fang. This
is followed by three marketing papers focusing on outgroup favourability, online marketing capabilities, and commitment to luxury brands. Next are five papers on performance looking at the effects of networks, institutional support, IBR protection, intra-MNE
learning, performance shortfalls and feedback. The following two papers focus on ambidexterity and the implications for performance and innovation. The issue concludes with three papers on potential determinants of firm internationalization strategies, and
one on how internationalization impacts firms’ cash levels. Something of interest for everyone.
Best wishes
Roger Strange & Fang Lee Cooke (IBR Editors-in-Chief)
