The list below contains some key theoretical concepts. Choose three to six (3-6) of these concepts and construct an originally developed “conceptual research model” with hypotheses. Explain your conceptualizations and measures of the concepts, explain your model (e.g., which concepts do you use as independent, dependent, moderating, or mediating variables – visualize your model in a figure). Lastly, explain your predictions/hypotheses.
List of concepts:
• Cultural intelligence

• Tie strength
• Bridging ties
• In-groups and out-groups
• Corporate reputation
• Managerial discretion

• Relational governance
• Firm performance
• Opportunism
• Subsidiary power

construct a model that makes sense with suitable variables based on the articles. Maybe you can add on the existing frameworks in the articles with new variables or create something new altogether.
