Download or read book The Internationalisation Strategies of Small country Firms written by Howard Dick and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'This research project combines contemporary and historical analysis to trace the evolution of Australian multinationals. It provides unique insights into how firms from a small economy achieved global competitiveness in their niche markets, while examining the barriers that inhibited others. The evidence is presented in comparative, industry and firm-case studies, and tells the story of international business made in Australia. The longitudinal and multi-level analysis in this research provides new insights that challenge the predominance of cross-sectional analytical framework dominating strategic management. Any scholars sincerely interested how companies from small countries can succeed on the global stage ought to read this book.' - Klaus E. Meyer, University of Reading Business School, UK The international business literature often struggles to depict a universal experience of internationalisation from the perspective of large countries. This book seeks to enrich the literature by providing a nuanced overview of the little-known Australian experience, being an atypical case of a small- to medium-sized economy which liberalised rapidly from the 1980s outside any trading bloc. Six data-rich survey chapters explore Australia's mixed success in founding its own multinationals. The experience of Australian firms is set in historical and comparative perspective, including interactions with inward and specifically American FDI. Five industry studies next consider why firms in retail, wine and professional services were more successful than in financial services and shipping. Nine detailed case studies of firms then identify the elements of administrative heritage, strategy and learning that have been the key to success or failure. The book concludes by outlining what can be learned from Australia's example and presenting implications for future research. The Internationalisation Strategies of Small-Country Firms will appeal to scholars, researchers and postgraduate students in international business and international economics.

Download or read book Australia and the Global Economy written by Tony Ciro and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australia and the Global Economy is a timely text which re-examines the importance of international trade and globalisation to the Australian economy. In 2008-2009 the world witnessed a spectacular collapse of confidence in financial markets. Many thought that the world would re-enter into a Great Depression. Fearing the worst, governments, central bankers and policy makers devised stimulus measures designed to increase consumer spending and industrial production. Although it would appear for now that a Great Depression has been avoided, the world suffered a significant global recession, one that was reported to be the most severe since World War II. As Tim Harcourt states in his foreword, lessons from our economic history remain as relevant today not only for Australia but also for the world's leading economies. Underlying much of the current Global Financial Crisis has been the interlinked nature of the world's financial markets and the overall importance of international trade policy. The Australian economy has remained resilient in light of the current crisis. Its relative success with globalisation has been testament to Australia's ability to not only engage but also be an active participant in world trade and international affairs.
Download or read book Globalisation the State and Regional Australia written by Amanda Walsh and published by Sydney University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘If we are to understand global capital, neoliberalism and the state in meaningful ways, we must understand them as they operate in, and on, particular places and people.’ Amanda Walsh Globalisation is an inescapable term in the 21st century, but its real meaning is often difficult to pin down. This book sheds new light on the political and economic implications of globalisation by examining the lived experience of a particular region: the Shoalhaven area of New South Wales, where two iconic Australian industries – dairying and manufacturing – struggled to survive in the face of global competition. Drilling down through layers of theory, policy and politics, Amanda Walsh surveys how globalisation has played out in regional Australia. Using industry case studies, she explores how decisions made at a national level have affected regional communities, and considers the role of the state in promoting and mediating globalising forces.

This book was released on 2019-08-30 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professorial Dissertation from the year 2019 in the subject Communications - Public Relations, Advertising, Marketing, Social Media, grade: 10, Università degli Studi di Milano, language: English, abstract: This study aims to explore the internationalisation in higher education in Australia. The increasing globalisation and interdependence of world economies, and the revolution in ICTs (information and communication technologies) have made it imperative for universities to be truly international in character and outlook. The result of this study on the Australian educational scenario has revealed that internationalisation of higher education is a complex, multidimensional and often fragmented process that includes different rationales varying greatly according to cultural and economic insights: it ranges from international research collaboration, to horizontal mobility for both international and national students as well as a focus on a more interdisciplinary and international curricula. Overall, by comparison with the other Anglo-Saxon countries, the results of this study have shown that the development of internationalisation in higher education in Australia has three peculiar features: the first is the unambiguously commercial nature, according to which innovative strategies (such as a proper destination branding borrowed from the tourism industry) were put in place through promotional recruiting agencies abroad and other national entities that sponsored a massive participation in student recruitment fairs. Secondly, there was an exponential market growth of non-academic student servicing, which surpassed academic and research capacity: as a result of this marketing and recruitment as well as complimentary services are managed by commercial companies associated with the university. The third and final feature specific to Australia is its ability to be a pioneer in the provision of educational opportunities overseas through the development of offshore campuses particularly active in the Asia-Pacific region, with the aim of awarding students under the foreign university name.
Download or read book The Global Economy in Australia written by Dick Bryan and published by Allen & Unwin Academic. This book was released on 1999 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Global Economy in Australia offers a critical perspective on the processes of global integration, as well as the economic and political consequences for Australia and other smaller developed open economies." "Even though Australia still retains its political and economic sovereignty, the process of globalisation - dictating what is produced, where it is produced and how profitable it is - cannot be resisted by national economic policy. The state can exert some influence, but not to the extent our political leaders would have us believe. The authors argue that while we pursue an economic nationalist ideology, economic policy will continue to fail to deliver its promises. Meanwhile, the growing inequality in distribution of income is having alarming domestic political consequences." "Drawing on a rich store of international trade, finance and investment data, The Global Economy in Australia assesses this ideology of 'the national interest' and argues for a re-evaluation of our national accounting so that we can better understand the divisive processes of globalisation."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book The Politics and Culture of Globalisation written by Hans Löfgren and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-08-18 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We experience the culture of globalisation every time we visit a Tandoori restaurant in Chicago, or a Pizza Hut in Hyderabad, or as we watch Bollywood films in Australia. Globalisation is a label used for a wide range of political, social and cultural phenomena, many of which are explored in this volume. The Politics and Culture of Globalisation: India and Australia brings together Indian and Australian experts in the fields of political science, international relations, philosophy, cultural theory and political economy. Its timeliness and unifying theme derive from comparisons between Indian and Australian perspectives, and analyses by Australian writers on developments in India. Indian-Australian relations are explored in several chapters. The neo-liberal form of globalisation is a key focus of critique in this volume. Several chapters examine the search for alternative forms of governance as the nation-state undergoes profound change due to global interconnectedness.
