Cultural Diversity In Multinational Organisations, Marian Crowley-Henry
Cultural Diversity In Multinational Organisations, Marian Crowley-Henry
Conference papers
With the rhetoric in international management espousing the value of being able to access and capitalise on the knowledge of a workforce with international experience in order to compete globally and the need to embrace diversity (including cultural or ethnic diversity) in and across organisations, this paper discusses the findings from a qualitative research undertaking where senior and middle managers working for multinational organisations in a cross-section of industry sectors were interviewed. A total of twenty in-depth interviews were conducted with “foreign” managers based in Europe, the majority hired on local contracts. The findings presented in this paper outline the …
Financial Crises And The Presence Of Foreign Banks, Adrian E. Tschoegl
Financial Crises And The Presence Of Foreign Banks, Adrian E. Tschoegl
Adrian E Tschoegl
Foreign banks have entered many transition and emerging economies in recent years, sometimes before economic and banking crises have developed, and often after. Today, in a number of countries foreign banks own as much as 90 per cent or more of the banking systems’ assets. The question then arises as to what the effect of the foreign presence is on crises. This chapter first discusses the motives, modes and regulation of foreign banks. In analyzing foreign entry, it is important to distinguish between classic or traditional foreign banks and the innovators, which in turn one can classify either as “bettors”, …

Foreign Banks In Bulgaria, 1875-2002, Adrian E. Tschoegl, Kenneth Koford

We apply the analogy from biology of ecological succession that follows natural disasters as a conceptual framework for the history of foreign banks in Bulgaria. We argue that the current predominance of foreign banks is unlikely to be permanent, even without government action. The argument should also apply to other countries that have incurred sever financial collapse. In the case of Bulgaria, foreign banks have entered several times—before World War I, after that war, and after the fall of Communism in the early 1990s. The same source countries and even some of the same banks that were present before World …

Entrepreneurial Hunger—Shall We Try Chinese?, Joseph E. Levangie
New England Journal of Entrepreneurship
Many entrepreneurs are able to manage their businesses within relatively contained and familiar geographical and cultural circles. With a world economy shrinking every day amid a flood of digital information, today’s entrepreneur is increasingly confronted with opportunities to consider new ways to secure vendors and recruit customers. Many unfamiliar possibilities emerge. Should the entrepreneur venture beyond “comfortable” surroundings to consider international connections? Specifically, what about China? How practical is this fetching business temptation of larger markets and lower-cost subcontractors? What are the social, trade, financial, and political issues? Should a “China strategy” be a true entrepreneurial offensive, or rather a …

The Evidence For A Nascent Biotechnology Cluster In Cork, John W. Hobbs
Theses
Over the past 30 years, encouraged by Ireland’s low rate of corporation tax (currently 12.5 %), and active promotion of FDI by the IDA, foreign owned pharmaceutical plants have set up and multiplied in the Cork area. To Ireland’s advantages of a low tax rate, an English speaking population, a pro-business environment and membership of EU, Cork offered the added attractions of a deepwater port and large natural harbour, good freight connections, an international airport, an educated workforce and excellent sporting and leisure facilities for sailing, golf, etc. (Pfizer, Eli Lilly, Novartis, GlaxoSmithKline, Johnson & Johnson and Schering Plough have …

Call centres, as a rapidly growing industry, have attracted research attention due to associated development, organisation and work practices. However, there is still much to be investigated, particularly given rapid developments in the industry which can already be seen through the evolution of call centres into contact centres providing both telephony and internet services to customers. As call centres continue to evolve there are various alternatives available to them in regards to strategy and structure. This paper considers the emergence of teleworking as an attractive option for specialist call centre staff, and briefly examines the implications for HRM, unions and …
