Purpose

The paper aims to understand how state and non-state domestic terrorism impacts MNEs in foreign markets. Despite the burgeoning literature on terrorism within international business (IB), most research has focused on international terrorism, or terrorism generally. Consequently, there has been limited research examining how domestic or local based terrorism impacts foreign firms.

Design/methodology/approach

This is a conceptual paper.

Findings

Domestic terrorism is the most common form of terrorism in the world today and involves the state and non-state actors. Non-state domestic terrorism can be low intensity or high intensity. High intensity non-state-domestic terrorism typically involves regular and protracted political violence, along with inter-communal violence. This can expose MNEs to considerable operational, governance and legitimacy pressures.

Originality/value

The paper contributes to the gap in IB terrorism research with regards domestic or local based terrorism. Drawing on IB theory and critical terrorism research, the paper addresses the nature and impact of domestic terrorism within IB. The authors’ paper shows the operational, governance and legitimacy pressures of both state and non-state domestic terrorism for MNEs in host markets. While most IB scholars consider the threat of non-state terrorism for international firms, this study shows how domestic state terrorism benefits and constrains foreign firms.

并未消失：国内恐怖主义如何影响国外市场的跨国公司

目的

本文旨在了解国家和非国家国内恐怖主义如何影响国外市场的跨国企业。尽管有关国际商业 (IB) 中恐怖主义的文献不断涌现，但大多数研究都集中在国际恐怖主义或一般恐怖主义上。因此，关于国内或当地恐怖主义如何影响外国公司的研究非常有限。

设计/方法论/途径

这是一篇概念性论文。

发现

国内恐怖主义是当今世界最常见的恐怖主义形式，涉及国家和非国家行为体。非国家国内恐怖主义可以是低强度的，也可以是高强度的。高强度的非国家国内恐怖主义通常涉及定期和长期的政治暴力以及族群间暴力。这可能使跨国企业面临相当大的运营、治理和合法性压力。

原创性/价值

该论文弥补了 IB 恐怖主义研究在国内或当地恐怖主义方面的空白。本文借鉴 IB 理论和批判恐怖主义研究，讨论了 IB 内部恐怖主义的性质和影响。作者的论文展示了国家和非国家国内恐怖主义对东道国市场跨国企业的运营、治理和合法性压力。虽然大多数国际文凭学者都考虑非国家恐怖主义对国际公司的威胁，但这项研究表明国内国家恐怖主义如何使外国公司受益和受到限制。
