This study examines how political distance, international scope, and firm size affect the long-term growth of B2B service firms. Analyzing data from 589 firms across 45 countries (2001-2021), the findings reveal that large firms experience greater revenue growth from broader internationalisation than small firms. However, large firms are more vulnerable in politically distant countries, especially when deriving significant revenue from these markets. For B2B marketing, this highlights the need for dynamic, adaptive marketing-mix strategies to stay resilient and competitive in politically challenging environments, ensuring sustained growth despite varying institutional pressures across countries.👈 #InstitutionalTheory #PoliticalDistance #B2BServices #InternationalExpansion #FirmSize #RevenueGrowth #MarketingStrategies #GlobalBusiness

Jaipuria Institute of Management congratulates Dr. Ajay Jha for publishing research titled "Analyzing business recovery challenges in manufacturing industry: implications to post-pandemic supply chain resilience" in the Global Journal of Flexible Systems Management(ABDC A Category). The COVID-19 pandemic brought about a rapid change in the global business environment, leading to increased risks of supply and demand disruptions. As society and the industry continue to acclimate to the new normal, the contributions of the manufacturing industry are critical in the recovery process. However, the existing literature lacks a framework to analyze the manufacturing sector’s challenges during the recovery to enhance supply chain resilience (SCR). To address this gap, this study develops a framework for business recovery, especially in the manufacturing sector.
