Is globalization a fair process? Globalizers vs. globalized
2018
Globalization means that domestic economies are becoming more and more intertwined and mutually dependent on each other. Unfortunately these globalization processes are asymmetrical. This determines that there are different groups of participants of globalization - globalizers, active participants and marginalized. It seems quite obvious that globalizers are doing better economically than the others. But is this really true? The aim of this paper is to answer the question, if more globalized countries are really doing better economically than less globalized. To do this there was an analysis of relations between globalization and chosen economic indexes (inflation, unemployment, GDP per cap…
Prywatność w nowych mediach. Pozyskiwanie danych jako narzędzie realizacji biznesowych celów cyberkorporacji
2016
W czasach nowych mediów, za sprawą rozwoju Internetu i nowych technologii, społeczeństwo stało się bardziej otwarte i zaczęło inaczej podchodzić do kwestii prywatności. Ludzie w Internecie odkrywają się znacznie bardziej jak w rzeczywistości, masowo publikują prywatne zdjęcia i informacje. Trend ten wykorzystują i popularyzują współczesne cyberkorporacje, które dopatrzyły się w nim możliwości podporządkowania go własnym biznesowym celom. W tym celu zaoferowały użytkownikom sieci możliwość korzystania z ich darmowych narzędzi i platform, stając się w ten sposób idealistami propagującymi wolność informacji i możliwość nieskrępowanej komunikacji. Usługi te okazują się być jednak tylko z pozoru…

Do we really know the predictors of competence-creating R&D subsidiaries? Uncovering the mediation of dual network embeddedness
2017
Abstract Many changes have been recorded in the R&D role played by the foreign subsidiaries of multinational corporations (MNCs), to the extent that today many are recognised as key players in the development of firm innovation-related competences. Given this trend, we examine the predictors of a subsidiary's R&D role as a competence-creating contributor to the MNC's long-term success. Traditionally, the predictors of subsidiaries' R&D roles have been sought in the specific features of the internal corporate and external host-country environments. However, we find that favourable corporate- and country-level conditions may not necessarily lead to the enhancement of a subsidiary's R&D role u…

Knowledge sharing and subsidiary R&D mandate development: A matter of dual embeddedness
2014
Sharing knowledge across borders has proven to be especially relevant to multinational corporations (MNCs). Foreign subsidiaries have become active players in these knowledge flows. However, the network effects of interacting with multiple agents on the evolution of the R&D role played by subsidiaries are still undeveloped. The present study focuses on changes in subsidiary capabilities and on the dynamic mechanisms by which their R&D role might evolve, especially, as a consequence of their interaction with a variety of knowledge networks. We examine this issue by conducting four longitudinal case studies of subsidiaries operating in Spain. Using an inductive approach to theory building, we…

Sanctions for Legal Entities in South American and European Systems of Corporate Criminal Liability
2021
The present analysis of sanctions for cases of liability of legal entities for crimes (corporate criminal liability) adopts a two-fold comparative perspective. First, it focuses on the sanctions provided by the laws of those legal systems, in South America, which introduced such liability, especially in the last two decades after the United Nations’ treaties on organized crime and corruption. Then, it continues with a parallel overview of sanctioning choices in those Member States of the European Union which opted for such liability. The analysis highlights similar and different approaches both in the two contexts and within each of them. Overall, a process of “weak harmonization” of sancti…
