Translingvistiskie elementi biznesa medijos

2018

Vēsturiskā saskarsme starp kultūrām, tehnoloģisko inovāciju parādīšanās, globalizācija un internacionalizācija ir tikai daži no faktoriem, kas ir veicinājuši angļu valodas globālu lietojumu un leksisko aizgūšanu no angļu valodas. Šī pētījuma mērķis ir analizēt anglicismu lietojumu rakstos par uzņēmējdarbību Spānijas tiešsaistes laikrakstā „El País”. Kvantitatīvā un kvalitatīvā analīze tiek izmantota, lai klasificētu un analizētu apkopoto datu krājumu, kas sastāv no 164 anglicismiem. Galvenie rezultāti liecina par to, ka ziņu rakstos parasti tiek izmantoti nepielāgoti anglicismi. Tas ir acīm redzams, ka valodas uzskatīšana par fiksētu sistēmu ar noteiktām robežām ir apstrīdēta, un to ierosin…

New Business Models In-The-Making in Extant MNCs: Digital Transformation in a Telco

2017

In recent years, we can observe the emergence of firms, born both digital and global, that have disrupted existing industries. Deploying digital technologies, they have developed innovative value chains and business models that threaten established multinational companies (MNCs). In this chapter, we examine how MNCs can and do respond to the challenge digital technologies represent. We describe the main facets of digital technologies and discus the potential these have to undermine the value chains and business models of established MNCs. In order to illustrate this, we employ longitudinal data from Telenor, a leading multinational mobile telecom company. Telenor perceives digitalization as…

Governance of global value chains after the Covid-19 pandemic: A new wave of regionalization?

2021

The disruption of the trade and investment activities of multinational enterprises as a consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic has reinvigorated the debate on the configuration of global value chains (GVCs) as well as the risks and challenges associated with offshoring. This article depicts how the pandemic might affect GVC configuration by driving a trend toward a more regional footprint in industries in which resilience and reliability are critical. Such a shift would create new opportunities for reshoring, and affect both the types of upgrading trajectories and the governance systems in value chains. The article also draws from the intersection of the global-strategy and value-chain field…

Co‐parenting through subsidiaries: A model of value creation in the multinational firm

2017

Research summary We analyze a novel way to configure and manage multinational networks and propose a model of "co-parenting", characterized by the sharing of parenting roles and distribution of responsibilities between two units. We develop our argument around the notion of the springboard subsidiary, an operating subsidiary which assumes headquarters’ functions since it shares greater institutional closeness with both the headquarters’ country as well as with the host region. Based upon qualitative data, our inductive model revolves around three stages: establishment, consolidation and maturity, each of which reflects distinct roles and loci of decision making among the three actors involv…

Breaking Stereotypes Concerning Remigrated Children - A Multinational Possible Intervention Plan through School

2021

The article is based on a multinational study involving five countries (Romania, Portugal, Italy, North Macedonia, and Iceland) facing the return migration or remigration situation. Pupils (n = 1615), teachers (n = 370), future teachers (n = 166) and youth workers (n = 30) were questioned about various aspects regarding the subject. Among the matters, cultural needs appear to the most important. Based on the statistical analysis, the article describes the dynamics of the dependent variables, with highlighted interest on cultural needs. Psychological and social needs, cultural needs, and educational needs are discussed and link conclusions appear. Following the analysis, an intervention plan…

The Veblen-Gerschenkron Effect of FDI in Mezzogiorno and East Germany

2003

The presence of foreign multinational enterprises (MNEs) can benefit local economies. In particular, if MNEs are very productive compared to domestic firms, they may promote learning and catch-up of local firms. Such a channel of spillovers from MNEs to local firms is known as the Veblen-Geschenkron effect. Rather than the overall density of MNEs in a region or sector, it is their initial productivity advantage on the local firm to determine the positive effect on domestic productivity growth. We test this hypothesis using firm level data for German and Italian companies during the 90's and we find evidence of a significant and robust Veblen-Gerschenkron effect.

Mobilities in Finland's Information Society Strategies from 1995 to 2010

2012

Abstract The article explores Finland’s national information society strategies and uses the Finnish case as an example to identify the limitation of the so-called ‘methodological nationalism’ and to explicate the advantages of the mobility paradigm. The research material consists of the Finnish national strategies published between 1995 and 2010. The article identifies two trends from the studied strategies; a further intermingling of physical movement of objects and virtual mobility, and a tendency to reduce corporeal mobility. The study also shows that most mobility-related challenges require international cooperation and multinational solutions, although state-centred thinking was preva…

Two Family Firms in Comparison: Ahlström and Schauman During the 20th Century

2006

Ahlstrom and Schauman are among the most prominent companies in Finnish industrial history, being family firms engaged in different branches of economic activity. At first both were mechanical wood processing companies, but diversified later into the pulp and paper industry as well. Ahlstrom is even still today an important paper producer, whilst Schauman merged in 1987 with the Kymmene Corporation, and is nowadays a part of the UPM-Kymmene Corporation. This paper analyses the strategic decision processes undertaken in the named companies during the 20 century. The companies were not the most typical ones in the Finnish wood processing industry, but were, perhaps, typical examples of old fa…
