Forgotten effects in trade relations: a view from the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)

2020 , Julio Rojas-Mora , CHAVEZ BUSTAMANTE, FELIPE ORLANDO , Cristian Mondaca-Marino

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to evaluate Chinese indirect trade relations in the global trade network to observe if the objectives identified by Cai (2017) in the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) are being fulfilled, especially with Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) countries.Design/methodology/approachUsing data from the UNCTAD (2016) for the period 2011–2015, a normalized exports network is built. It is analyzed with the Forgotten Effects Theory and the PageRank algorithm. A Monte Carlo experiment with 10,000 replicates is performed to account for its volatility.FindingsThe paper identifies one instance in which China's peripheral countries are importing raw materials and commodities -–oil products – to produce low technological value-added products, which, in turn, are exported to China. LAC countries do not have significant indirect trade relations with China when the former is the origin country, while the latter is the destination in a trade relationship. The trade network has a clear core-periphery structure, with China belonging to its core, although being only the fourth most central node in the network.Originality/valueThis paper contributes with both a new methodology for the analysis of indirect trade relations and the results found for China under the BRI and its trade relationship with LAC economies.

El rol de la cooperación en la propensión para innovar: evidencia de la encuesta chilena de innovación

2018 , CHAVEZ BUSTAMANTE, FELIPE ORLANDO

La innovación y la cooperación han estado estrechamente relacionadas como tópicos principales en la literatura reciente sobre management. La perspectiva de innovación abierta ha tomado en cuenta la importancia de capitalizar las ganancias de la cooperación en los esfuerzos para innovar, sin embargo, hay una falta de investigación empírica de este fenómeno para las economías emergentes.Esta investigación tuvo por objetivo analizar el efecto de la cooperación en la propensión a innovar de las firmas, utilizando datos de la Encuesta Chilena de Innovación. Se encontró que la cooperación tiene un efecto positivo, estadísticamente significativo, en la propensión a innovar. Las implicancias del trabajo están relacionadas con la implementación de políticas, ya que según lo observado, el paradigma debiese desplazarse hacia un entorno entrelazado y estratégico de negocios, que haga más plausible la participación de las firmas en esfuerzos de redes colaborativas.

Knowledge and information leakages in strategic alliances with competitors

2022 , CHAVEZ BUSTAMANTE, FELIPE ORLANDO

Alliances allow businesses to access valuable resources in complex environments. Nonetheless, these interfirm agreements also make firms’ boundaries permeable to involuntary leakages of information and knowledge. This dissertation theoretically examines the interplay between information and knowledge leakages, the nature and intensity of market competition, and the incentives to pursue strategic alliances with competitors. To this end, the dissertation adopts a game-theoretic approach that accounts for the market consequences of knowledge and information leakages and the incentives to pursue strategic alliances that they generate. The main findings suggest that knowledge and information leakages might induce firms to engage in opportunistic behaviour and that the threat of such behaviour has important effects on the incentives to participate in these interfirm agreements. Thus, while knowledge leakage may drive firms to behave opportunistically by imitating its competitor, information leakage has the potential to alter the information structure of competition, modifying the incentives to generate joint value through the pursuit of strategic alliances. These findings constitute novel theoretical insights about the effects of knowledge and information leakages on the competitive behaviour of firms interacting in environments in which they simultaneously cooperate and compete with the intent to create joint value
