In the era of digital business model innovation, multinational corporations face a dual challenge: leveraging digital technologies to overcome institutional barriers while reconfiguring value creation in cross-border operations. Grounded in institutional theory and the digital transformation literature, this study investigates how knowledge distance and political distance shape subsidiary exits through a U-shaped relationship, and how digital transformation breadth and depth differentially reconfigure these effects. We conduct empirical research on 1203 Chinese multinational enterprises from 2015 to 2019. The results indicate that both knowledge distance and political distance exhibit a U-shaped relationship with the subsidiary exit. The breadth of digital transformation strengthens the U-shaped relationship between knowledge distance and subsidiary exit but weakens the relationship between political distance and subsidiary exit. The depth of digital transformation mitigates the effects of both knowledge distance and political distance on subsidiary exit. These findings provide a novel explanatory perspective on the ‘Distance Paradox’ in internationalization theory, address a critical gap in the multinational enterprise (MNE) exit literature, and propose a modular governance blueprint for MNEs.

Some dams globally have negatively affected downstream structures. Constructing subsidiary weirs may solve this problem. This novel study focuses on investigating the parameters of seepage beneath the original structure and the proposed subsidiary weir. Conformal mapping and finite element methods are used for the analysis. The proposed subsidiary weir consists of a sloping central apron, flat aprons on both the downstream and upstream ends, and upstream and downstream sheet piles of varying depths. The existing structure also has sheet piles of different depths at its upstream and downstream ends, with an impervious layer situated at a specific depth below both the structures. The study derives equations for the simulation of the upwards pressure on both the structures, seepage rate, and exit gradient along the downstream bed and the filter at an intermediate location. Our own developed software for the analysis and a commercial software for numerical methods named Finite Element Heat Transfer (FEHT)-version-1are used to calculate these parameters. The accuracy of the analytical and numerical methods is verified by comparing the results with experimental data, which demonstrate a good level of agreement. This study also simulates the impacts of various factors, such as sheet pile configurations, the depth of the stratum beneath the structure, the ratio of effective heads, and the length of the intermediate filter.
