The internationalization of andalusian innovative companies. Mechanisms, evolution, phases and key variables
2009
En este artículo se presenta una tipología del grado de internacionalización que poseen las empresas innovadoras andaluzas en función del modo que han elegido para operar en cada país o mercado y de diferentes variables que nos ha permitido deducir que, en la actualidad, Andalucía se encuentra en las primeras etapas de la globalización. La internacionalización de la empresa ubicada en Andalucía está asociada sobre todo a la exportación directa e indirecta (ya sea como proveedora de inputs a firmas foráneas o compradora de inputs especializados en el mercado internacional). La estrategia de internacionalización mediante intercambio de conocimiento (acuerdos contractuales y de cooperación en …

[ES] Frente a la globalización, la internacionalización de la universidad es una parte esencial de la solución como factor para su desarrollo sostenible a través de estrategias de innovación abierta y por tanto una prioridad en los campus europeos bien contemplada en la reciente Ley de la Ciencia y los Campus de Excelencia Internacional como parte de la Estrategia Universidad 2015. El acceso a la financiación pública competitiva disponible en los fondos europeos es importante en términos de prioridades de investigación, precisamente en un contexto restrictivo de financiación nacional y autonómica. La atracción internacional de talento y posicionarnos en las grandes áreas de investigación pe…
The internationalization of musical life at the end of the nineteenth century in modernized Paris and Rome
2013
ABSTRACT:This article examines the relationship between the processes of urban renovation in European capitals and the internationalization of musical theatre productions, using the example of theatres constructed in Paris and Rome at the end of the nineteenth century. Due to the limited availability of governmental and municipal funding, the more popular theatres in both capitals came to provide an important space for musical productions on an avant-garde level, with international repertoires and casts.

On the Role of Internationalization of Firm-Level Corporate Governance – The Case of Audit Committees
2020
Motivated by agency theory and arguments from linguistic studies, we argue in this paper the internationalization of a firm’s audit committee to be associated with weaker firm-level corporate governance. Based on 2,015 publicly traded European firms from 16 countries over 2000-2018, we find the presence of foreign directors on audit committees to have a significant negative impact on financial reporting quality (FRQ). The effect is found to be weaker in countries with strong investor protection. We find linguistic differences within audit committees an important explanation for the negative influence of foreign directors on FRQ. The results are robust to alternative FRQ measures and model s…
Role of Corporate Governance in the Context of Globalization
2018
The globalization process, although criticized, is constantly growing, contributing to the internationalization of activities performed by companies and to the internationalization of markets. This also resulted in the occurrence of important changes regarding the operation and functioning of organizations, as well as regarding the operating mode of governments that have to adopt their policies to a changing market. In addition, the corporate governance, besides the ethical principles it observes, and the social responsibility also use rules and procedures aimed to increase the value of the company. Moreover, the emergence of the economic crisis showed that accounting frauds are a result of…
El reto de la internacionalización para las Pequeñas y Medianas Empresas españolas
2017
While many studies have widely worked out on finding out the different relationships underlying the birth and prompt development of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), we argue that getting an in depth approach to the problematic scene that takes place once they are keen on having a successful internationalization plan may have been understudied. Therefore, the aim of this research is that of identifying critical challenges faced by Spanish SMEs during an internationalization process. We do so by taking a qualitative approach. The current research contributes to the literature by adding new and renewed perspectives to the field, thanks to the qualitative analysis carried out through four i…

Internationalization of firms: revitalizing the board of directors after a cross-border acquisition
2017
Purpose This paper aims to show the importance of introducing an integration manager (i.e. an executive position used to channel the acquiring firm’s course of action and strengthen the success of a post-acquisition integration process) within the acquiring firm’s board of directors. Design/methodology/approach This is a theoretical paper that introduces the integration manager within the board of privately held firms going internationally via acquisitions and serving as an “out-insider” director able to balance the conflicting demands of the previously separated entities during their integration process. The authors present an explanatory case study that empirically contributes to the boa…
