Book Corporate Diplomacy  How Multinational Corporations Gain Organizational Legitimacy

Download or read book Corporate Diplomacy How Multinational Corporations Gain Organizational Legitimacy written by Sarah Marschlich and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-08-30 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Open-Access book investigates corporate diplomacy as a legitimation strategy of multinational companies in the United Arab Emirates. The author applies a neo-institutional public relations perspective, according to which societal expectations significantly shape corporate diplomacy communication. Using a multi-method research design, the author shows how corporate diplomacy is used in the host country, what role local media coverage and relationship management fulfill, and what effects corporate diplomacy has on corporate legitimacy in the host country community, i.e., UAE residents. The findings provide substantial insights into how multinational corporations seek legitimacy through corporate diplomacy and demonstrate how these efforts and the legitimation of corporations are affected by the media and the host country's public.

Book Politics and Power in the Multinational Corporation

Download or read book Politics and Power in the Multinational Corporation written by Christoph Dörrenbächer and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-04-14 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was first published in 2011. The current financial and economic crisis has negatively underlined the vital role of multinational companies (MNCs) in our daily lives. The breakdown and crisis of flagship MNCs, such as Enron, WorldCom, Lehman Brothers, Toyota and General Motors, does not merely reveal the problems of corporate malfeasance and market dysfunction. It also raises important questions, both for the public and the academic community, about the use and misuse of power by MNCs in the wider society, as well as the exercise of power by key actors within internationally operating firms. This book examines how issues of power and politics affect MNCs at three different levels; the macro-level, the meso-level and the micro-level. This wide-ranging analysis shows not only that power matters but also how and why it matters, pointing to the political interactions of key power holders and actors within the MNC, both managers and employees.

Book Coordination and Control of Global Public Relations in Multinational Corporations After International Mergers and Acquisitions

Download or read book Coordination and Control of Global Public Relations in Multinational Corporations After International Mergers and Acquisitions written by Rajul Jain and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study is to examine the coordination and control of global public relations in multinational corporations (MNCs) following international mergers and acquisitions (M & As). The exponential growth in international M & As presents unique challenges and opportunities for the management in terms of integrating various facets of an organization's operations, including public relations. Based on a multidisciplinary review of academic research, this study constructs theoretical presuppositions about coordination and control of global public relations; and conducts an empirical investigation of these presuppositions using a Delphi panel composed of international public relations experts. Subsequently, a theoretical model indicating factors affecting roles, responsibilities, integration, and configuration of public relations department in the merged (or acquired) organization is developed. This novel study introduces international business management theories of coordination and control to public relations, and thus, sets path for future research to refine, enhance, and contribute to building a theory of coordination and control of global public relations.
