Overcoming the liability of foreignness – A new perspective on Chinese MNCs
2021
Abstract We maintain that previous research on multinational corporations' liability of foreignness has underemphasized the importance of the firm's dependence on their parents, subsidiary and local resources. To address this issue, we conducted 43 semi-structured interviews with expatriate and local managers of Chinese high-tech MNCs over two years (2017–2019) and across China, Poland and Hong Kong to understand how they cope with the liability of foreignness in Poland. Using the resource dependence perspective, the linkage, leverage, learning (LLL) paradigm and the institutional view, we identified six dimensions affecting the liability of foreignness: resource commitment, information flo…
Masculinity and Privileges: Acknowledge as a Potencial Articulator of Change
2021
El artículo que se presenta a continuación analiza discursivamente la percepción que los hombrestienen acerca de su situación de ventaja o privilegio (los dividendos patriarcales según Raewyn Connell, 1995) en tanto que varones y en un sistema de dominación como el patriarcado (en su momento actual). Se reflexiona desde la teoría y la empiria sobre su negación o reconocimiento y los mecanismos de investigación a través de los cuales podemos acceder a estas ideas y relatos en relación con los privilegios masculinos en los varones. Desde un punto de vista técnico-metodológico abordamos la complejidad deacceder a este tipo de conocimiento y algunas de las herramientas que desde la socioantropo…

The migrant crisis in the Mediterranean Sea: Empirical evidence on policy interventions
2021
Abstract This paper presents a novel set of empirical evidence to explore several hypotheses regarding the migrant crisis in the Mediterranean Sea. The political instability in transit countries, such as Libya, that made pre-existent repatriation policies ineffective, called for several search-and-rescue operations in the Mediterranean, which in turn have been wrongly accused of fostering illegal immigration and increasing deaths at sea. The empirical results show that the main determinants of the departures are several root causes at the departing African countries, underlining the importance of fighting human smuggling networks. The paper suggests a change in migration studies’ perspectiv…
Work-to-personal-life conflict among dual and single-career expatriates
2017
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore if an expatriate’s career situation at the level of the couple (single career couple (SCC)/dual career couple (DCC)) is related to the expatriate’s work-to-personal-life conflict (WLC) and if the expatriate’s gender is related to WLC. The authors also investigate if the level of WLC is different for men and women in a DCC or SCC (interaction). Design/methodology/approach The study was conducted among 393 Finnish expatriates who were in a relationship and were working. A moderated hierarchical regression was utilized in the data analysis. Findings Gender or DCC/SCC status was not separately related to WLC but an interaction effect between gend…
Gendered power relations in the digital age : an analysis of Japanese women’s media choice and use within a global context
2021
This study investigates the persistence of gendered choice and use of media, particularly in Japanese domestic settings. It shows how women’s significant presence in the digital media environment does not necessarily translate into substantial changes in gendered power dynamics in choosing and using particular media for certain purposes at home. This project’s authors, researchers from Argentina, Finland, Israel, Japan, and the US, analyzed interview data from Japan by drawing on the Foucauldian concept of micro-level power, which is categorized into three main types: personal authority, media affordances, and space-time constellations. Through this process, we interviewed 77 individuals, r…
Ecos de la Junta democrática y de la oposición en el diario ABC (1974-75): la ruptura como pesadilla
2012
International audience; La creación de la Junta democrática como plataforma antifranquista se proponía romper con las instituciones del Régimen iniciando una lucha pacífica que debía permitir una democratización radical del estado. La ruptura con las instituciones del franquismo debía ser llevada a cabo gracias a un gobierno provisional representativo de todas las fuerzas de oposición. Las numerosas acciones y comunicaciones a los órganos de prensa internacionales de la Comisión Exterior de la Junta democrática de España, dirigida por José Vidal Beneyto, permitieron a la JDE darse a conocer a los países europeos siendo aún ilegal dentro del país. Los artículos del diario ABC de 1974-75 se h…
