La puesta en marcha de los grados y postgrados en las universidades españolas ha venido acompañada de una revisión de las metodologías docentes utilizadas y la incorporación en muchos casos de Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC).

The choice of language is very widely, in international trade, depending on the wish of the parties. The question of free choice is central to the study of the relationship between language and law.

The language issue is generally treated only as incidental, accidental, although it is necessary to comply with a certain n…
Business models for internationalization: an analysis on traditional manufacturing smes
2021
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are a fundamental actor for the economic and social development of nations. However, these companies have poorer survival prospects than large firms (Freeman, Carroll and Hannan, 1983) and find it difficult to grow abroad (Crick and Barr, 2007). In the case of SMEs in traditional manufacturing industries, in addition to the limitations associated with their small size, there are also difficulties in maintaining competitiveness suffered by non-knowledge-intensive companies (Pla-Barber, Villar and Benito-Sarriá, 2020). For this reason, survival problems and barriers to internationalization are even more prevalent in traditional manufacturing SMEs. The…
China’s intellectual property rights provocation: A political economy view
2019
It is well recognized that intellectual property rights (IPR) violations are at the heart of the economic conflict with China. Little agreement, however, exists about the origin and solutions for this provocation. Broadly speaking, two prescriptions have been proposed: the natural evolutionary and the rule of law views. While both have merits and add to our understanding, they do not go far enough to address the more fundamental IPR policy issue: China has benefited from a rule of law overseas and a rule through law at home, manufacturing unfair advantage to its firms, many of which are owned and/or influenced by the government. While recognizing China’s recent effort in improving IPR prote…
