Expatriation literature demonstrates that organizational strategies and practices in this field vary due to the nature of the relationship between the subsidiary and the head office. Moreover, the specificity of the institutional environments in which these entities operate affects the level and importance of employee flow between the two. Hence, one may assume that the above–mentioned contextual factors result in various strategies and practices related to other forms of international mobility, including inpatriation. This study is an attempt at defining the role of the subsidiary–headquarters relationship and the institutional distance in managing inpatriation. Its outcome consist of four scenarios for inpatriation that correspond to combinations of these factors.

Literatura na temat ekspatriacji wskazuje, że strategie i praktyki organizacyjne w tym obszarze różnią się ze względu na charakter powiązań między filią i centralą. Ponadto odmienność otoczenia instytucjonalnego, w którym działają te podmioty, wpływa na poziom i znaczenie przepływu ludzi pomiędzy nimi. Można przypuszczać, że wzmiankowane czynniki kontekstowe prowadzą do różnych strategii i praktyk związanych z innymi formami mobilności pracowników, w tym – inpatriacji. Dlatego też podjęto próbę określenia znaczenia relacji filia–centrala oraz dystansu instytucjonalnego dla zarządzania inpatriacją. Jej efektem są cztery scenariusze inpatriacji, odpowiadające kombinacjom tych czynników.

Research background: Through cross-border mergers and acquisitions (M&A), enterprises in China can improve their technological innovation and organizational management capabilities to make up for the disadvantages of outsiders and enhance their international competitiveness. However, due to the lack of experience, the success rate of cross-border M&A of China enterprises is low, and the performance changes after M&A differ. How to maximize the advantages of cross-border M&A in obtaining technical resources and how to improve the performance of cross-border M&A are important issues that China's cross-border M&A enterprises and academic circles need to solve. Purpose of the research: The aim of this study is to analyze the mechanism and boundary conditions of firms' capability to exploit resources (RTC) and capability to explore resources (REC) with regard to cross-border M&A performance from the perspective of experience learning based on organizational learning theory and resource-based theory. Methods: With 173 China A-share listed companies with cross-border M&A events from 2010 to 2020 as samples, this study uses hierarchical regression analysis to test the impact of REC and RTC on cross-border M&A performance and its mechanism. In the robustness test, this study adopts the measures of changing dependent and independent variables lagged for one year for analysis. In the mechanism test, this study uses intermediary and mediation effect models. Findings & value added: The results show that RTC and REC have positive effects on the performance of cross-border M&A. Prior experience learning (PE) and vicarious experience learning (VE) increase the probability of companies making cross-border M&A decisions and have positive effects on cross-border M&A performance. Moreover, PE and VE play a partial mediating role in the positive impact of REC and RTC on cross-border M&A performance, respectively. Formal and informal institutional distance weaken the positive effects of REC and RTC on the performance of cross-border M&A. Enterprises in emerging economies should adapt to the institutional environment of the host country to reduce the negative impact of institutional distance while taking advantage of experience learning when carrying out cross-border M&A.

This study concerns the problem of institutional distance between local government units, and its impact on the cross-border cooperation of regional and local authorities in the Polish-German borderland. Contrary to cross-border cooperation per se, the analyzed notion is not featured regularly in the subject literature. Above all, the existing studies focus on the forms of, barriers to, and conditions for cross-border cooperation, the assessment of cross-border cooperation projects co-financed by the EU, and the broadly conceived social and economic cross-border ties. On the other hand, there is a shortage of studies analyzing the competencies of various local government units with regard to cross-border cooperation. Hence, this article examines the competencies of local government units with respect to cross-border cooperation based on the example of the Polish-German borderland. The adopted research method involves the analysis of the subject literature, domestic legislation in Poland and Germany, and the documents and legal acts of the Council of Europe and the EU.
