Does Institutional Misalignment Prompt Escape-Based Internationalization? An Exploratory Examination Of Latin American Outbound Foreign Direct Investment, Jack Alan Clampit Jul 2013

Does Institutional Misalignment Prompt Escape-Based Internationalization? An Exploratory Examination Of Latin American Outbound Foreign Direct Investment, Jack Alan Clampit

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

The international business literature offers four primary reasons for firms moving parts of their value chain abroad: they desire access to markets, resources, efficiencies, or strategic assets. Despite suggestions by prominent scholars (e.g., Dunning) that there may be a fifth motive – the desire to escape from institutional settings that hinder a firm’s ability to achieve its goals – convincing evidence in support of this motive has been elusive. Current studies of escape-based internationalization tend to come from adjacent disciplines, and are usually conceptual in nature (thus providing no empirical support) or are qualitative, survey-based examinations (thus limiting generalizability and …

Developing Degrees: An Exploratory Analysis Of Laureate International Universities' 21st Century Entry Into Mexico And Ecuador, Beau Thomas Hunsaker

Sociology ETDs

Laureate International Universities (LIU) embodies an emerging international phenomenon in which a multinational corporation (MNC) functions as a holding company that acquires and operates brick-and-mortar higher education institutions in a for-profit model; each individual portfolio institution granting degrees under its own name with any potential profits from each institutions operations flowing to the holding company after local expenses are paid. Organizational institutions theory outlines the desire to legitimize and achieve success prompts organizations to seek legitimating scripts beyond mere market dynamics; those factors and operating conditions that allow organizations to carry out their activities without undue scrutiny by members of …

How Religious Practices Affect The Rise Of Populism In Latin America, Victoria Garcia, Dr. Kirk Hawkins Jun 2013

How Religious Practices Affect The Rise Of Populism In Latin America, Victoria Garcia, Dr. Kirk Hawkins

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Populism is “a Manichaean discourse that identifies Good with a unified will of the people and Evil with a conspiring elite” (Hawkins 2009). It is a movement that has been spreading in Latin America, in which a group of people consider themselves as the majority being oppressed by an Evil elite. The surge of charismatic leaders seeking to represent the will of the people characterizes this movement. An example of these types of leaders is Hugo Chavez in Venezuela, where he is supported by a populist majority.
