This paper provides a methodological analysis of replication research in international business through examining Wang, Liu, Delios, and Qian’s (2023) replication of Mohr, Wang, and Fastoso’s (2016) work. While Mohr et al. (2016) initially investigated the impact of state participation in the equity of international joint ventures (IJVs) dissolution, Wang et al. (2023) tested these findings’ applicability in emerging economies with evolving institutional environments. By modifying observation periods, sample sources, and research design, they identified a curvilinear relationship between state-owned capital and IJV dissolution, with time as a crucial boundary condition. We analyze Wang et al.’s (2023) methodology to demonstrate systematic approaches to replication research and explore its implications for international business scholarship.
