- Abstract/Description
-
This research focuses on cross-border acquisitions of emerging market multinationals (EM MNEs). Opposing theoretical perspectives of colonial ties (i.e., country ties between the acquiring and target firm countries, with the former being a colonized country and the latter being a colonizer country) are argued as predictors of EM MNE equity participation. Colonial tie is discussed as a source of legitimacy that can lower legitimacy threats (i.e., the likelihood of being deemed as illegitimate)...
Show moreThis research focuses on cross-border acquisitions of emerging market multinationals (EM MNEs). Opposing theoretical perspectives of colonial ties (i.e., country ties between the acquiring and target firm countries, with the former being a colonized country and the latter being a colonizer country) are argued as predictors of EM MNE equity participation. Colonial tie is discussed as a source of legitimacy that can lower legitimacy threats (i.e., the likelihood of being deemed as illegitimate) via promoting similarities in informal institutions of the home and host countries. On the other hand, colonial tie is argued to be a historical event that can increase legitimacy threats due to perceived superiority of the colonizer. Chapter 1 contains an overview of and rationale for the study. Chapters 2-4 cover the literature review, theoretical development, contributions, and avenues for future research. This research fills the gap in literature by introducing colonization as a historical perspective with which to understand equity participation decisions.

- Abstract/Description

Theft and fraud within family firms can have a significant impact on local, national, and international economies, given that most businesses operating throughout the world are family firms. According to familybusiness.com, 62% of the US workforce is employed by family businesses. Yet, we do not know much about how family firms respond to theft and fraud committed within their firms or the factors that influence their responses.

Show moreTheft and fraud within family firms can have a significant impact on local, national, and international economies, given that most businesses operating throughout the world are family firms. According to familybusiness.com, 62% of the US workforce is employed by family businesses. Yet, we do not know much about how family firms respond to theft and fraud committed within their firms or the factors that influence their responses. The goal of this dissertation is to better understand a family firm owner’s decision to report theft and fraud committed by family and non-family employees, and whether kinship strength and race/ethnicity have any discernable effects on these reporting intentions. To achieve that goal, this study integrates insights from family firm, sociology, and psychology literatures. It presents a conceptual model and three sets of hypotheses that were tested in this empirical study. The results extend previous literature by providing support that kinship not only influences family employee theft intentions, but family owner reporting intentions as well. In addition, egalitarianism, or race avoidance, was shown to interact with kinship to influence owner reporting intentions.
