Hymer's analysis of the multinational organization: Power retention and the demise of the federative MNE
No full textChapter Reprinted from International Business Review, Vol. 15 (2006), 166–179, ‘Hymer’s Analysis of the Multinational Organization: Power Retention and the Demise of the Federative MNE’, by Mohammad Yamin and Mats Forsgren. Copyright © 2005 by Elsevier Ltd. With kind permission from Elsevier. All Rights Reserved // This book presents more than four decades of research in international business at the Department of Business Studies, Uppsala University. Gradually, this research has been recognized as 'The Uppsala School'. The work in Uppsala over the years reflects a broad palette of issues and approaches. There are, though, some common characteristics of most of the contributions which motivates the 'school' label, beyond the fact that all have their origin in Uppsala. We claim that the dominating work has been devoted to three basic themes; knowledge as an asset and as a problem, markets as business networks and power within and between organizations. In this book these three themes have been discussed relation to firms' internationalization process and the multinational firm as an organization. A dominating feature of the work done in Uppsala is also its strong emphasis on empirical data as a base for theory development, which often has been collected through personal interviews with Swedish firms. // PART I: INTRODUCTION Knowledge, Networks And Power - The Uppsala School Of International Business; Mats Forsgren, Jan Johanson And Ulf Holm PART II: THE INTERNATIONALIZATION PROCESS OF THE FIRM 1.

Analysing Social Capital and Product Innovativeness in the Relationship Evolution of Born-Global Companies the Mediating Role of Knowledge Acquisition
No full textelatively little is known about how born-global companies (BGs) innovate abroad during their lifecycle or about how the international innovation activities of BGs are related to their social capital. The network concepts of relational, structural, and cognitive social capital are almost completely neglected in the international business literature on BGs’ innovation activities according to a dynamic approach. The aim of this research is to study the direct and indirect effects of structural, cognitive and relational social capital on BGs’ product innovation by including the mediating role of market and technological knowledge acquisition. We develop a set of hypotheses that we combine and test in a structural equation model. We provide results with theoretical and practical implications for BGs in terms of both social capital and innovation abroad.Relatively little is known about how born-global companies (BGs) innovate abroad during their lifecycle or about how the international innovation activities of BGs are related to their social capital.

Where business networks and institutions meet : Internationalization decision-making under uncertainty
No full textBoth business networks and institutional forces are relevant to firm internationalization but they have seldom been studied together. We investigate under what circumstances firms are more likely to adopt non-predictive strategy in light of the influence of the business networks, the institutional forces, and the home market background affecting their internationalization. Based on survey data from 758 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from Brazil, China, Poland, Italy, and Sweden, our results support the effects of formal institutional distance and cultural differences on the use of non-predictive strategies by SMEs in internationalization decisions, as well as the contingency effects of business network stability and of having an emerging market background. We integrate research on the liability of foreignness and the liability of outsidership and find that business network stability is critical. It does not moderate the relation between cultural difference and NPS adoption but attenuates the negative relation between institutional distance and NPS adoption, indicating that the liabilities of foreignness and outsidership play different roles in internationalization.The first four authors are listed in alphabetical order.</p
Acostatrichia buborektala Olah & Johanson 2011
No full textAcostatrichia buborektala Oláh & Johanson 2011 Figs. 8, 16 Acostatrichia buborektala Oláh & Johanson 2011: 155, figs. 79–82, male; type locality: Peru, San Martin Prov., Rio Huallaga, at Pumarihri Huallaga Lodge, between Juan Guerra and Chazuta, 14 km (rd.) W Chazuta, 6°36.643’S, 76°12.555’W; type depository: NHRS. Oláh & Flint (2012), reported from Brazil. Redescription. Length from front of head to tips of folded forewings 2.3 mm (n = 1). General color, in alcohol, light brown. Head unmodified. Ocelli 3. Antenna 20-articulated; scape cylindrical, twice as long as wide, inner margin not produced; pedicel cylindrical; flagellomeres cylindrical, unmodified. Forewing with costal vein simple, unmodified. Abdominal segment VII bearing very long ventromesal process, with slightly capitate apex (Figs. 8A, 8E). Segment VIII shorter dorsally than ventrally (Fig. 8C); in ventral view, posterior margin of sternum truncate (Fig. 8A); with a pair of long ventrolateral processes, each bearing extremely long seta on basal third and slightly enlarged at apex (Figs. 8A, 8C); tergum with transverse row of long setae (Fig. 8B). Segment IX mostly within segment VIII, ventrally open; without dorsolateral processes (Figs. 8B, 8C). Preanal process globose and bearing very long setae (Fig. 8B). Inferior appendages paired but fused with each other basally, elongate, narrowing to apex in lateral view (Fig. 8A); without apical or basal processes (Fig. 8A). Subgenital plate, in ventral view, broad, with truncate apex (Fig. 8A); in lateral view, slightly downturned (Fig. 8C). Tergum X membranous, triangular in dorsal view (Fig. 8B). Phallus tubular basally, bearing midlength complex, with dorsal window and basal loop shorter than basal portion of phallus (Fig. 8D); apical portion with slightly sclerotized sclerite and with no internal spines (Figs. 8D, 8E). Material examined. Brazil: Amazonas, AM 010, km. 246, 15–16 Jul 1979, J. Arias leg., Oláh det., 1 male (NMNH). Remarks. Oláh & Johanson (2011) described this species based only on the holotype from Peru. Oláh & Flint (2012) recorded this species from northern Brazil, indicating 8 males in NMNH, but only one specimen of A. buborektala Oláh & Johanson, 2011 was located in this collection. This non-type specimen from Brazil agrees with the original description and it was used here to provide illustrations and the description above. Due to the long and capitate ventromesal process on segment VII (Fig. 8C), the presence of a pair of ventrolateral processes on segment VIII (Figs. 8A, 8E), and the inferior appendages fused with each other, at least basally (Fig. 8A), this species is placed in the A. brevipenis Group. However, A. buborektala is very distinctive from the others in this group and in the genus as a whole. Acostatrichia buborektala differs from other species in the A. brevipenis Group by the inferior appendages fused to each other only basally (Fig. 8A), instead of completely fused as a plate. In this respect, this species is similar to those in A. cerna Group, but in A. buborektala the inferior appendages lack a rod-like lateral process, typical for the A. cerna Group. Acostatrichia buborektala can be easily distinguished from other Acostatrichia species by the long ventrolateral processes of segment VIII, each one with an extremely long seta arising from basal half of the process (Figs. 8A, 8C). Distribution. Brazil and Peru (Fig. 16).Published as part of Santos, Allan Paulo Moreira, 2020, A review of the Neotropical microcaddisfly genus Acostatrichia Mosely, 1939 with description of a new species from Brazil (Trichoptera: Hydroptilidae: Leucotrichiinae), pp. 201-230 in Zootaxa 4755 (2) on pages 213-216, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4755.2.1, http://zenodo.org/record/373141
Uncertainty and decision-making in SME internationalization: The importance of control, prediction, and knowledge
No full textWe investigate the role of market uncertainties as determinants of the adoption of control and prediction in the internationalization of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Building on the possibility that uncertain markets may lead to trade-offs between these strategies, as suggested by the convergence between effectuation and internationalization research, we differentiate between uncertainties originated in SMEs’ home and host countries. We test our hypotheses with a cross-country data set encompassing 597 SMEs surveyed in Brazil, China, Poland, and Italy. Our results indicate that home-country uncertainty is related to the adoption of control strategies, while host-country cultural uncertainty is related to prediction efforts. Moreover, internationalization knowledge emerged not as a moderator of these relationships but as a relevant antecedent of both control and prediction. Our findings have implications for the use of effectuation in the study of SME internationalization and also for the conceptualization of the effectuation process itself
