| Outline of Research at the Start |
This research aims to advancing the international business theories related to multinational corporations (MNCs)’ responses to societal sustainability needs in the global supply chains as the result of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. This research highlights capability of transferring sustainability practices, institutional conditions, supply chain governance, and multi-level stakeholders that would shape such MNCs’ responses. This proposal also provides managerial and policy guidelines that address societal expectations and create sustainable business and living environments.

| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research uses emerging phenomena after the COVID-19, especially the political tensions between governments and adopts interdisciplinary perspectives to advance the international business (IB) theories and practices. Such phenomena require multinational enterprises (MNEs) to focus more on risk management and institutional logics rather than the economic rationales in their globalization. The research aims to 1) determine the scales, timing, and modes of globalization, 2) explore the multi-level business-government-society interface, 3) investigate the MNEs' dynamic capabilities to overcome internal and external impediments to respond to simultaneous pressures for global integration and local responsiveness, 4) determine the reconfiguration of global value chains through reshoring, regionalization, and replication, and 5) prioritize factors at firm, industry, national, subnational, and supranational level that drive the globalization to achieve sustainable development goals (SDGs).
