Internationalisation Of R&D Improves A Firm's Technical Learning, Arnoud De Meyer
Internationalisation Of R&D Improves A Firm's Technical Learning, Arnoud De Meyer
Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business
Companies have been reluctant to internationalize the R&D function. The reasons for keeping R&D geographically centralized are mostly related to preserving optimal communication patterns. But market forces, and the diffusion of the sources of technological know-how, oblige many companies to decentralize and internationalize their R&D laboratories. How does one manage this international network of laboratories? The author takes the position that companies internationalize R&D to improve the process of technical learning. If this is the case, the management of the laboratory network has to stimulate this technical learning. On the basis of 14 case studies, five areas warrant attention: creating …
The Entrepreneurial State Goes To Europe: State Economic Policies And Europe 1992, John J. Carroll, William E. Hudson, Mark S. Hyde
The Entrepreneurial State Goes To Europe: State Economic Policies And Europe 1992, John J. Carroll, William E. Hudson, Mark S. Hyde
New England Journal of Public Policy
This article investigates state-level export programs in response to the emerging new economic and political regime of Europe 1992. Little related export promotion activity is found, even in states reputed to have the most active entrepreneurial policies. The authors conclude that states have few resources to invest in export promotion and are inappropriate jurisdictions around which to organize such policy, despite the much touted "entrepreneurial state."

Cross-Cultural Issues In The Management Of German-Owned Business Subsidiaries In Hampton Roads, Teja Ulrich
Cross-Cultural Issues In The Management Of German-Owned Business Subsidiaries In Hampton Roads, Teja Ulrich
Engineering Management & Systems Engineering Theses & Dissertations
'Culture' can be described as patterns of thinking, feeling and acting that distinguish one cultural group from another. Cultural diversity is therefore likely to introduce variety to organizations in which individuals from different national backgrounds are working together. Although this variety bears the potential for an improvement of the cognitive development in the organizations, managers of multicultural business organizations tend to perceive cultural diversity as a disadvantage. This thesis attempts to identify the impact of cultural differences between Germans and Americans on organizations in which German managers work with American employees. German managers of eight business subsidiaries in the Hampton …
Cross-Cultural Training Of Chinese Managers And Workers By U.S. Companies: A Comparative Cultural Analysis Of The Problems Reported By U.S. Trainers, Linda Vick
Dissertations and Theses
As Western business increases in China and China acquires more technology from the West, the need to effectively train the Chinese workforce becomes more important. Identifying and understanding the perceived problems that Western corporate trainers encounter when they train Chinese may lead to more effective and efficient training programs. This study examines the experiences of trainers, working for American companies, who have designed and implemented training programs for Chinese from the People's Republic of China. The purpose of the study is to identify perceived problems the trainers encounter and to determine whether differences between Chinese and American cultures may account …

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
"Australia needs to differentiate its product from those of other countries: it needs to do something a bit different toget products on the shelves and sold.
Japanese consumers expect the price to be reasonable and the flavor to be good. They will buy on the image the product cenveys, and the image or 'message' the country of manufacture has in Japan," -

The Economy In Overdrive: Will It Crash?, Penelope B. Prime
International Business Faculty Publications
The Chinese government still determines the economy's course, but market mechanisms have expanded from consumer goods to include producer goods, raw materials and even stocks and bonds. The Chinese economy, its rapid growth and how this might influence the future economy are discussed.

The Study Of The Chinese Economy, Penelope B. Prime
International Business Faculty Publications
The purpose of this chapter is to provide an overview of the issues, approaches, and problems of American economists who have studied China’s economy in recent decades, beginning with research done before the 1980s. Data access problems defined the field at that time. New research opportunities that emerged in conjunction with reform in China and improved U.S.-China relations are discussed next. The impact these changes had on the field are then seen from a review of research done since 1980. This review underscores the importance of data in allowing a variety of methods and issues, but it also suggests that …
Development Of Redglobe Table Grapes For Export, Ian Cameron
Development Of Redglobe Table Grapes For Export, Ian Cameron
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Exports wereonce a major outlet for the Western Australian table grape industry.
Over the last 20 years however, exports have fallen from 500 to 00 tonnes per year, despite an increase in the area planted to table grapes and an increase on overseas demand for our produce.
By 1993 less than 3 per cent of the table grapes produced in the State were exported.
The introduction of Redglobe, a new table grape varietyy from California, is expected to increase the export of table grapes from Western Australia to 1000t by 1997, when the variety will represent 90 per cent of …
Relative Profitability Of Multinational Enterprises In A Developing Host Country: The Sri Lankan Experience, H. Wijewardena
Relative Profitability Of Multinational Enterprises In A Developing Host Country: The Sri Lankan Experience, H. Wijewardena
Faculty of Business - Accounting & Finance Working Papers
Multinational enterprises (MNEs) have played a vital role in the economies of developing countries. However, empirical studies on some crucial aspects of MNE involvement in these economies appear to be inadequate. One such aspect is the profitability of MNEs vis a vis indigenous enterprises. Therefore, covering a wider spectrum of individual country situations is needed in order to broaden our understanding of this aspect of MNE operations. This paper attempts to shed some light on this aspect through an analysis of balance sheet data of a sample of MNE affiliates operating in the manufacturing sector of Sri Lanka. The empirical …
Job Attribute Preferences Of The Workforce In Polish High Technology Enterprises, Florian Michael Sisavic
Job Attribute Preferences Of The Workforce In Polish High Technology Enterprises, Florian Michael Sisavic
Dissertations and Theses
A key precept in work place motivation theory is that management knows what job attributes are valued by the employee. Management can benefit by asking employees what they want from their work experience (i.e., job attribute preferences), rather than assume they know. This is particularly important to Polish high technology companies that are in transition to a free-market economy and to Polish workers who must be appropriately motivated to compete globally.
This study attempts to better understand the job attribute preferences of Polish managers and workers, the potential gaps between Polish managers' perception of their workers' preferences (system), and how …
