Dialogue

Abstract

The article contains four essays about management research. The article by Chad Nehrt (1998), which focuses on first mover advantage for multinational corporations (MNC), is discussed, as well as challenges relating to environmental regulation in host countries. Chad Nehrt defends his article, responds to the criticism of Alain Verbeke and Alan M. Rugman, and comments on their article about environmental regulation and MNC strategy. Marc Orlitzky and David Jacobs discuss objectivism, which was a focus in the article by Edwin A. Locke and Thomas E. Becker, who respond by introducing issues such as extrospection and value judgments.
