The Influence of Country-of-Origin on Human Resource Strategy of Multinational Companies in Developing Countries
2009
Human resources can be one of the company's sources of competitive advantage if it is managed effectively and efficiently. Taking this into considerations, MNCs are straggling in designing the human resource strategy that helps them to gain competitive advantage in host countries. In a globalized world however, multinational companies (MNCs) are in the complex pressure of finding appropriate balance between global, home country and local practices especially in the area of human resource management due to the fact that cultural contexts differ significantly among nations. According to theories of ethnocentricity, MNCs tend to transplant the dominant business strategic practices of the count…

The Silent Board: How Language Diversity May Influence the Work Processes of Corporate Boards
2014
Manuscript Type Empirical. Research Question/Issue Corporate boards often change their working language when they acquire foreign members. Consequently, boards �talk� in one language but �think� in another. The present study explores and explains how language diversity influences work processes of corporate boards. Research Findings/Insights On the basis of a multiple case study of nine multinational corporations (MNCs) from four Nordic countries, we discovered evidence of impoverished and silenced discussions in board meetings in those case companies that were unprepared to switch to English as the new working language of the board. Some board members found it difficult to contribute to bo…
For Whom is MAI? A Theoretical Perspective on Multilateral Agreements on Investments
2001
Why do we observe some LDCs objecting the prospect of a Multilateral Agreement on Investment (MAI), although they have been keen to liberalize investment in preferential agreements in recent years? In this paper, we analyse the issue of MAI implementation and assess the welfare consequences of such kind of agreements. In our model, participation to MAI involves a trade-off between less rent extraction from multinational firms (MNEs) and more abundant FDI inflows. At equilibrium, either all countries enter MAI, or all countries stay out, or only some of them enter. Coordination problems may induce multiple equilibria: the three typesof equilibria may coexist. So, the implementation of MAI ma…
Efectos de la posición corporal y la sedación en la calidad de la voz
2015
En el ámbito de la Otorrinolaringología, existe una situación en donde la voz juega un papel importante para tomar una decisión intraoperatoria: durante la cirugía de tiroplastia de medialización de la cuerda vocal. Tras la realización de numerosas tiroplastias de medialización con anestesia local y sedación en nuestro Servicio de Otorrinolaringología, sospechamos que el test de voz intraoperatorio no era fiable ya que la voz obtenida durante el mismo no era la misma que la obtenida por el paciente al cabo de varios días de la intervención. Para tener una prueba objetiva de la fiabilidad o no del test de la voz hemos decidido realizar la comparación de la calidad de la voz del paciente en l…
Pueblos Indígenas, Derechos Humanos y Actividades Extractivas en Ecuador
2022
Los pueblos indígenas en Ecuador a lo largo de la historia han empleado distintos mecanismos de resistencia e incluso de rehuir del contacto con la población dominante, como en el caso de los pueblos indígenas en aislamiento Tagaeri y Taromenane. La historia ecuatoriana y la historia de las poblaciones indígenas en Ecuador ha sido condicionada por los distintos modelos de Estado-Nación, como también por los modelos de desarrollo y de continuidad de las prácticas coloniales en territorio indígena. A raíz del boom petrolero, la geopolítica ecuatoriana cambió drásticamente con el ingreso de actores transnacionales, como también del endeudamiento público con instituciones financieras internacio…

Quando la chirurgia estetica diventa teen
2014
La ricerca si pone l’obiettivo di indagare alcune variabili psicosociali ritenute dalla letteratura sull’argomento elementi importanti dell’interesse per la chirurgia estetica, come la percezione corporea e l’Ego-resiliency, in un gruppo di 210 adolescenti e giovani donne del territorio paler-mitano. I dati mostrano come la percezione di sé abbia un ruolo centrale, essendo l’unica variabile tra quelle indagate che influisce sull’interesse per la chirurgia estetica. Inoltre, l’Ego-resiliency, ossia la capacità di gestire in modo flessibile i propri impulsi e le proprie emozioni e di adattarsi efficacemente alle richieste dell’ambiente, è fortemente legato alla percezione di sé, che, a sua vo…
