Informal networks can be a major obstacle to the effectiveness of managers. At the same time though, they can enable and facilitate business activities and support the efficiency and effectiveness of managerial actions. Since informal ties and networks can have a bright and a dark side, it is important for international managers to understand the way they work in the respective cultural context. Informal networks are often perceived as pervasive in emerging markets such as China or Russia, to be used to instrumentalize social capital and develop a relational competitive advantage or to simply circumvent formal rules. Contrary to this perception, they often stand for sociability and social cohesion, antecedents of a strong society. To date it remains unclear whether multinational enterprises have processes in place to identify, control, and manage informal ties and networks.Informal Networks in International Business sheds light into the complex nature of informal networks and the respective context in which they operate. Leading experts provide insights into novel research themes and extend conventional research paths on informal network phenomena in the international business context. The contributions in this edited volume help international business scholars, students, and international managers in globally operating organizations alike to develop knowledge about the dynamics, complexities and ambiguities of informal networks and informal networking worldwide.

New technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, the Internet of Things (IoT), etc. are redefining business processes around the world at a rapid rate and resulting in both great opportunities and challenges for businesses. Though these technologies are extensively being used in developed countries, emerging economies are also not far behind. Disruptive Technologies in International Business advances the understanding of technological applications in business within an international paradigm. With its in-depth discussions of diverse topics such as the global value chain (GVC), environmental risk management, IoT, Surface Mobility, and anime, the book argues that technologies offer many advantages but there are accompanying risks, challenges, and disadvantages as well. The need of the hour is to address the impact of these technologies on the environment, society, and economy of the world. This book offers a collage of insights on how these technologies can potentially change the playing field in businesses and countries and contribute to the betterment of society. This book will provide business practitioners, international organizations, government officials, and policy makers with inspiration and new leads toward more efficient systems, policies, and operational frameworks in our increasingly technology-driven society.

American Supporters of free trade are on the defensive. Record U.S. trade deficits are fueling demands from industry, Congress, and the public for tariffs, import quotas, and other protectionist measures that could reverse America's long-standing commitment to open markets and sacrifice much of the economic progress experienced in recent years. In Saving Free Trade: A Pragmatic Approach, Robert Z. Lawrence and Robert E. Litan analyze both the allure of protectionism and the problems associated with free trade, proposing reasonable, cost-effective ways of helping industries, workers, and communities battered by intense import competition. The book focuses on the escape clause of the U.S. Trade Act of 1974, meant to provide domestic industries temporary shelter from severe import competition, and the trade adjustment assistance program, designed to provide direct aid to companies, workers, and communities injured by imports. The authors analyze the assumptions and implication of the many current congressional attempts to amend the provisions of the escape clause and the assistance program. They then set forth their own proposals, including new definitions of import injuries, modifications of provisions for providing relief for beleaguered companies, new standards for compensating and retaining displaced workers, and a plan for insuring communities against severe losses to their tax bases if local industries fail because they can no longer compete. Saving Free Trade provides a detailed but nontechnical introduction to the complex implications of amending trade policy and shrewd, innovative proposals for improving America's ability to adapt to rapid changes in world markets.

Most of the established theories of economics, particularly of international trade, became obsolete in the new world trade and production architecture. How, in these new circumstances, will host nations organize their economic resources? Structural Revolution in International Business Architecture analyzes some prominent countries in the world to examine the issue from two specific points of views. The first is to answer the question of whether it was necessary to dismantle the old system and privatize the economy rather than utilizing the traditional stabilization policy through monetary and fiscal instruments, when crisis appeared in the late 1980s and early 1990s mainly due to the demise of the Soviet Union and the Eastern European economic union causing serious disruptions in world trade, and the resultant war and destructions in various parts of the world. The second objective is to examine whether there was any alternative way. In this book, in the analysis of the recent globalization, the authors have used the simulations of economy-wide models to analyze alternative policy frameworks for the economies of the UK, China, India, Nigeria, and Egypt to re-examine the relative merits of alternative economic and trade policy regimes, through economy-wide models.

This book explores how the entire toolbox of intellectual property (IP) protection and management are successfully combined and how firms generate value from IP. It provides a framework of archetypes which firms will be able to self-identify with and which will allow companies to focus on the IP and IP Management issues most relevant to them.

The book develops the idea that a shift in the techno-economic paradigm creates opportunities for the rise of new firms, industries and countries to technological leadership, making the adoption of an adequate national system of innovation fundamental to success in such changes. This task is supported by a case study of how the Japanese System of Innovation has responded to the advanced materials revolution of the last two decades as well as diffusion of the information technology paradigm.

Cross-Cultural Management: Essential Concepts, Fourth Edition introduces readers to the fundamentals of cross-cultural management by exploring the influence of culture on interpersonal interactions in organizational settings and examining the ever-increasing number of cross-cultural management challenges that global managers face in today's workplace. Instead of taking a country specific approach, authors David C. Thomas and Mark F. Peterson offer a predominantly psychological perspective--focusing on the interactions of people from different cultures in organizational settings. This approach shows readers the effects culture has on a wide variety of cross-cultural interactions across organizational contexts.

Commercial aviation took shape in Hong Kong as the city developed into a powerful economy. In Hong Kong Takes Flight, John Wong argues that Hong Kong's development into a regional and global airline hub was not preordained and views the city's globalization through the prism of its airline industry.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2017 im Fachbereich VWL - Internationale Wirtschaftsbeziehungen, Note: 1,0, Hochschule Koblenz (ehem. FH Koblenz), Veranstaltung: MBA, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, einen Überblick über die geforderten und umgesetzten Sparmaßnahmen und Auflagen in der Griechenland-Krise aufzuzeigen. Zudem sollen die Auswirkungen der Maßnahmen auf die griechische Gesellschaft beleuchtet und eine Bewertung der Rettungsmaßnahmen erfolgen.Hierfür werden in Kapitel Zwei die wirtschaftlichen Rahmendaten in Griechenland und der Weg des Landes in die Krise aufgezeigt. Kapitel Drei beleuchtet die Rettungsmaßnahmen der Troika, wobei intensiv auf die erfolgten Sparmaßnahmen und die durchgeführten Auflagen eingegangen wird. Die beteiligten Institutionen werden benannt und das Rahmenwerk, in dem die erforderlichen Maßnahmen und deren Fortschritt festgehalten wurden, vorgestellt. Anschließend werden in Kapitel Vier ein Überblick über das politische Umfeld der griechischen Gesellschaft gegeben und die Konsequenzen der umfassenden Rettungsmaßnahmen auf die griechische Gesellschaft aufgezeigt. Inwieweit die Sparmaßnahmen und die Auflagen zur Genesung Griechenlands beigetragen haben, wird in Kapitel Fünf erläutert, außerdem werden alternative Rettungsmaßnahmen skizziert. Die erzielten Erkenntnisse werden abschließend zusammengefasst, danach wird ein Fazit gezogen, inwieweit die Maßnahmen der Troika zur Gesundung Griechenlands beigetragen haben.Den Umgang Europas mit Griechenland bezeichnet Herr Varoufakis als finanzielles Waterboarding nach dem Vorbild der Foltermethoden des amerikanischen Geheimdienstes CIA. Laut Frau Merkel wird niemand in Europa alleingelassen oder fallengelassen. Europa ist eine grandiose Friedens- und Freiheitsidee, die nur gemeinsam gelingen kann. Die Zitate von Frau Merkel und Herrn Varoufakis offenbaren einen eklatanten Widerspruch in der Auffassung, inwieweit die Hilfsmaßnahen für Griechenland fair und zielführend gewesen sind. Im April 2010 hatte Griechenland bei der EU-Kommission einen Hilfsantrag gestellt, nachdem Griechenland am Kapitalmarkt keine Refinanzierungen mehr aufnehmen konnte. Die EU-Kommission hatte in Zusammenarbeit mit EZB und IWF (Troika) ein Hilfspaket ausgearbeitet, um Griechenland vor der Insolvenz zu bewahren. Zur Bedingung für die Zahlung von Hilfskrediten wurden massive Sparmaßnahmen und Auflagen im Sinne von Strukturmaßnahmen von Griechenland gefordert.

This book systematically defines and analyses the rise of Chinäs innovation system and Chinese corporate governance model. Chinäs achievement in artificial intelligence and high technology innovation has attracted the global attention. The country¿s innovation system and Chinese model arose during the period between the mid-1990s and the first decade of 21 century, making it one of the leading countries in those fields. This revised and expanded edition examines the Chinese innovation business model based on the basic concept of firm¿s governance structure. It builds upon five dimensions: ownership and shareholding structure; interrelation between employer and employee; interrelation between firms; financing pattern and performance criteria; and innovation system and core competitiveness. This book also compares Chinäs innovation system with the American model and with the European model exemplified by Germany.
