    The effect of firm ownership on time to recall
    (2021) Tiwari, Sejal; Muralidharan, Etayankara
    We examine the impact of firm ownership (public vs. private) and perception of the reputation of the quality of suppliers of the country from where products are sourced on time to recall of defective products from the market. Operationalizing time-to-recall as the time that has elapsed from the date of first sale in the market to the date it was recalled, we test the influence of the interplay between firm ownership and perception of the reputation of the quality of suppliers of the country on time to recall using data on 400 toy recalls issued in the United States during 2007-2018. We find that time to recall is shorter for publicly traded firms than it is for private firms. This effect is more pronounced when the products are sourced from countries with poor perception of the reputation of the quality of suppliers. We discuss research and managerial implications of our findings.

    Tracing the path of international business research
    (2018) Tiwari, Sejal; Muralidharan, Etayankara
    Past studies have attempted to identify the domains of international business over specific periods of time. Most have used data sets for short time periods, providing a snapshot of the field for the period under review. This paper attempts to review the research in the area of international business for the past five decades, with the objective of understanding the path that research has taken over the last five decades in terms of research content, relevance, and methodology. This understanding supports proposal of a research agenda for the future, from the perspective of both content and methods in international business research.

    Tracing the path of international business research
    (2022) Muralidharan, Etayankara; Tiwari, Sejal
    Past studies have attempted to identify the domains of international business over specific periods of time. Most have used data sets for short time periods, providing a snapshot of the field for the period under review. This chapter reviews the research in the area of international business for the past five decades, with the objective of understanding the path that research has taken during that period in terms of research content, relevance, and methodology. While this understanding supports a proposal for a research agenda for the future, from the perspective of both content and methods in international business research, the impact of the pandemic may require a re-look at the trends that have been presented. The chapter addresses some of the potential changes in the trends in the research agenda that could occur due to the pandemic.

    Why do firms delay recalls? The effects of firm type and country of origin on time to recall defective toys in the United States
    (2019) Tiwari, Sejal; Muralidharan, Etayankara
    This article examines the influence of perceptions of the country of origin of the defective product on time to recall in the context of the U.S. toy industry. Using signalling theory, shareholder/stakeholder perspectives, and drawing on insights from attribution theory, it is suggested that perceptions of low country of origin of the defective product make firms issue quicker recalls. Besides, this effect is more pronounced in publicly traded firms as opposed to privately held firms. Data on 400 toy recalls were obtained from the Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) from 2007 to 2018 to show empirical support for the above. Implications and contributions are discussed.
