Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1998, this influential volume entered the debate on Foreign Direct Investment in the UK and focuses on the role of Multinational Enterprises (MNEs) in the service rather than manufacturing and primary sectors. While the significance of the service industry had been recognised (exceeding 60% of total GDP in some countries at the time of original publication), the role of FDIs has not. Joanne Roberts thus contributed to a woefully under researched field, covering areas including international trade, the organisational theory of the firm and the UK business sector.

Download or read book International Management in Service Firms written by Dirk Klimkeit and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2024 with total page 717 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zusammenfassung: This textbook examines how service firms manage their international operations. For the first time, it brings together insights from the fragmented literature on this subject into an accessible textbook. Further, it is unique in its focus on service firms' internationalization and international management. Beginning with an overview of the international environment in which service firms operate, it subsequently describes multinational service firms and their internationalization processes, strategies and organization. Unlike most texts on international services, the book goes beyond internationalization to address the ongoing management of service firms. It not only addresses functions such as global service marketing, financial management and human resource management, but also discusses aspects such as global account management, global service delivery and international project management, as well as the topical issue of managing distributed virtual teams. A dedicated chapter focuses on offshore shared services and business process outsourcing. These chapters are complemented by a discussion on international corporate governance and corporate social responsibility. The book is intended for students preparing for international careers in the service sector. Each chapter includes case studies, illustrations, highlighted definitions, a chapter summary and exercises

Download or read book Business Models and Firm Internationalisation written by Christian Nielsen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-21 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Internationalisation has been a binding request for firms dealing with the challenges of the present-day realities. Extant international business publications have recently begun to point out the relationship between the notions of ‘business model’ and ‘internationalisation’, yet the filed needs considerably more attention. The core aim of this book is to provide a comprehensive analysis of the ways in which business models and internationalisation impact one another in the process of initiating and expanding international business activities. The analysis makes it feasible to detect the core issues of the interdependences between business models and internationalisation to facilitate management decision-making and implementation of pertinent firm internationalisation incorporating the application of appropriate business models. In this book, the business model is applied to explore the specifics and aspects of firm internationalisation processes. Innovating the business model is analysed as a persuasive means for augmenting the propensities of firms to internationalise. The book enriches the comprehension of the significance of business model innovation as an enabler of firm internationalisation, in view that scares in what manners business model innovation facilitate firm internationalisation. The book chapters address a broad range of issues encompassing: the general roles of business model in firm internationalisation, the relationships between digital business models and platforms on one side and firm internationalisation on another, how business models determine the internationalisation of services firms, the interplay between business models and firm internationalisation in specific contexts. It will, therefore, be of interest to researchers, academics and advanced students in the fields of international business and management.

This book was released on 2010-01-13 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Introduction: The French economist Jean Fourastié had already predicted the expansion of the service sector in his early work in 1949. Accordingly, the economies of the developed countries were prognosticated a division into the three major branches agriculture, manufacturing and services with an increasing domination of the latter over time. In fact, the actual growth of the tertiary sector even surpassed Fourastié s expectations. Knowledge-intensive business services constituted the fastest growing sector in Western economies at the end of the twentieth century . Within this group of knowledge-intensive business services management consulting represents one of the fastest growing business models. Before the first economic slowdown in the consulting industry started in 2000, the global market for advisory services had grown at rates between 10 and 15 percent. In Europe, the turnover of the consulting sector rose about twenty-seven percent annually during the second half of the nineties. Growth today represents one of the key success factors in the consulting business and firms have to reach certain growth rates in order to stay competitive. There are mainly two different strategies for enterprises to achieve the goal of prosperous growth. Firms can either follow the strategy of diversification or internationalization. An increasing number of consulting firms decides to expand business activities into international markets in order to stay competitive and take advantage of new possibilities associated with globalization. Empirical studies have shown that the propensity of firms to internationalize not only accounts for large multinational corporations but also for small and medium-sized firms. Therefore, scientists and economists have put attention to the internationalization efforts of management consulting firms. Nevertheless, scientific literature about the internationalization of these business models is still scarce. Most of the existing theories are based on empirical findings that refer specifically to material goods and are thus often criticized for not adequately reflecting the unique characteristics of services. Numerous internationalization theories have been developed during the last forty years. While common theories focus on aspects such as transaction costs or knowledge about a particular market, approaches that are more recent underline the central role of relationships and international networks. In my study, I [...]

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How multinationals contribute, or don't, to global prosperity Globalization and multinational corporations have long seemed partners in the enterprise of economic growth: globalization-led prosperity was the goal, and giant corporations spanning the globe would help achieve it. In recent years, however, the notion that all economies, both developed and developing, can prosper from globalization has been called into question by political figures and has fueled a populist backlash around the world against globalization and the corporations that made it possible. In an effort to elevate the sometimes contentious public debate over the conduct and operation of multinational corporations, this edited volume examines key questions about their role, both in their home countries and in the rest of the world where they do business. Is their multinational nature an essential driver of their profits? Do U.S. and European multinationals contribute to home country employment? Do multinational firms exploit foreign workers? How do multinationals influence foreign policy? How will the rise of the digital economy and digital trade in services affect multinationals? In addressing these and similar questions, the book also examines the role that multinational corporations play in the outcomes that policymakers care about most: economic growth, jobs, inequality, and tax fairness.

Download or read book The Regional Multinationals written by Alan M. Rugman and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-01-06 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although many firms label themselves 'global', very few can back this up with truly global sales and operations. In The Regional Multinationals Alan Rugman examines first-hand data from multinationals and finds that most multinationals are strongly regional, with international operations in their home regions of North America, the US or Asia. Only a tiny proportion of the world's top 500 companies actually sell the same product and deliver the same services around the world. Rugman exposes the facts behind the popular myths of doing business globally, explores a variety of regional models and offers an authoritative agenda for future business strategy. The Regional Multinationals is the essential resource for all academics and students in International Business, Organization and Strategic Management, as well as those with an interest in finding out how multinationals really work in practice and how future strategy must respond.
