  Watching the Sun, Not Only the Clock! Temporal Distances and MNEs’ Entry Mode Choice

  Jane Lu (China Europe International Business School)

  Abstract

  In this paper, we examine how multinational enterprises (MNEs) choose entry modes in their foreign expansions across different host countries in response to two types of temporal distance: working hour distance and chronotype distance. Analyzing a total of 1,780 Japanese MNEs and their 10,391 subsidiaries across 125 host countries, we find that the greater the working hour distance and chronotype distance between an MNE’ headquarter and its subsidiary, the greater the likelihood that the subsidiary adopts the wholly owned entry mode over the joint venture. In addition, we find that the MNE’s FDI experience in a host country helps to weaken the effects of the two types of temporal distance. Furthermore, by differentiating whether a subsidiary’s daily working time starts ahead of its headquarter or falls behind its headquarter, we find that chronotype distance moderates the effects of working hour distance on MNEs’ entry mode choices in different ways.
