Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue on Global Business Strategy will focus on issues, problems and outcomes experienced by nations and organisations as climate change, the COVID-19 pandemic, global politics and economic crisis affect global business operations.

Both quantitative and qualitative research articles are welcome. Contributions on how entities mitigate risks while addressing change and harnessing opportunities are also encouraged. Furthermore, the role that leadership plays within this evolving spectrum of change will be well supported.

Contributors should endeavour to provide context and narrative angles to the phenomenon explained.

This paper reassesses the long-debated relationship between market competition and firms’ innovation. While competition is traditionally measured at the industry level using historical data, our study utilizes two recently developed text-based measures of competitive threats which are forward-looking and constructed at the level of individual firms. We address the potential endogeneity concerns and provide causal inference using instrumental variables including import tariffs and trade-weighted exchange rates, along with the propensity score matching (PSM) of firms that experienced exogenous shock from import competition. Our results show that an increase in competition unambiguously promotes firms’ innovation in terms of both quality and quantity. Full article
