Abstract

A flurry of regulations has emerged across the world to govern the use, transfer and storage of data, affecting digital and traditional firms, of all sizes. To guide business practitioners and educators, this article provides insights into key components of digital laws and what they mean for different types of firms. We take the European Union as starting point, given its prominent and extra-territorial rule-setting, but also reflect on other cross-border (future) digital regulations. Our analysis of relevant details reveals a need for practitioners to be prepared and forward-looking, considering firms' specifics, internationally converging ethical principles and (future) digitally-aware generations.

Abstract

Multinational enterprises (MNEs) can play an important role in the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This article examines what we know about their participation in implementing the SDGs and their impact, both positive and negative, on people, the planet, prosperity and peace as identified in the United Nations (UN) 2030 Agenda. To this end, we review the research published in the main international business journals on five key SDGs that represent these 'four Ps', grouped into three categories: (1) poverty and inequality, (2) energy and climate change, and (3) peace. We summarize the findings of the 61 relevant studies and subsequently explore the UN's 'fifth P', partnership, both in terms of published research on MNEs and the SDGs, and in terms of a collaborative agenda to help address the large challenges of the 2030 Agenda. In view of the relatively limited research on MNEs and SDGs thus far, academic institutions and international business scholars in particular are well-positioned to offer important insights about the role of business in supporting the SDGs, for which we offer suggestions, also in relation with other key actors., 1. Introduction The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of 17 goals with 169 accompanying targets that set out quantitative and qualitative objectives across the social, economic and environmental [...]

Abstract

This chapter is a commentary on “A perspective on multinational enterprises and climate change: Learning from “an inconvenient truth”?” by Kolk and Pinkse (2008). The commentary zooms in on the role played by MNEs in the climate change debate, namely considering how MNEs may cause or aggravate the problem and/or help bring solutions to climate change, and the energy transition more broadly, issues that can significantly affect MNE strategies, performance and growth. Importantly, new ideas are introduced concerning the shift from green firm-specific advantages (FSAs) (discussed in depth in the original article) to what are referred to as business model-related specific advantages (BMSAs). The commentary discusses, amongst others, the influence of factors such as digitalization and locational dimensions, including MNEs’ embeddedness in various institutional contexts, as well as the potential for transferability and recombination of BMSAs. Altogether, a clear and forward-looking agenda for research on international business, climate change and the energy transition, emerges.
