Summary: This study introduces the concept of bridge-economy partners and highlights their potential benefits in foreign-market entry for Western firms. It provides initial empirical evidence for the relevance of interorganizational partnership triads involving Western, bridge-economy, and local firms. Various factors such as venture age, regional legal maturity, and accumulated local experience are identified as influential in the adoption of this type of collaboration. The findings emphasize the importance of accumulated host-country experiences and a mature legal environment in successful implementation. The study suggests that policymakers in emerging economies can create favorable legal environments to support such triadic collaborations, offering a promising policy option for foreign investment.

Summary: The study finds that China's environmental fees to taxes policy (EFTP) can effectively inhibit corporate environmental violations. Increasing the share of local tax revenue, stimulating corporate environmental endeavors, and strengthening regional tax inspection are key factors for EFTP to work. Additionally, the policy is more effective in non-state-owned companies and in regions with higher marketization, stricter environmental regulation, and higher tax rates. This research provides important evidence for improving environmental tax policies.

MNEs directly affected by travel restrictions experienced a decrease in shareholder value in both the short and long term. State ownership can mitigate the negative effects of travel restrictions, but having numerous overseas subsidiaries and high-tech characteristics worsens the adverse effects.

Summary: This study conducted semi-structured interviews with 29 participants to explore the perceptions and motivations of different millet consumer groups. The findings reveal that regular consumers have a strong awareness of the environmental benefits of millet cultivation and actively engage in dependent consumption. On the other hand, occasional consumers have limited awareness and rely on others for convenience. Both groups express dissatisfaction with millet marketing, feeling stigmatized by the predominant portrayal of millets as medicinal foods. The study provides important insights for promoting millet consumption and fostering sustainable food systems.
