Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage dont le contenu gravite autour de l'intelligibilité des sociétés multinationales, soulève les problèmes qui portent sur l'image qu'elles présentaient aux yeux des États en développement : une menace sinon un danger pour leur souveraineté. Mais avec le temps, à l'avènement de la mondialisation, cette image s'est muée en bien dans la mesure où les multinationales sont actuellement considérées comme les seuls acteurs incontournables de la vie économique. Les États, jadis méfiants, cherchent plutôt aujourd'hui à les attirer par des appâts tels qu'un train de règlementations incitatives.

Book excerpt: Nul autre thème que la mondialisation ne fait l'objet de tant d'écrits, de discours et de polémiques. Il s'agit bien de la caractéristique la plus frappante de l'évolution des dernières décennies. Nous sommes plongés dans un tourbillon à la fois économique, politique et culturel où l'ensemble des pays participe, où le brassage des biens, des peuples et des civilisations n'a jamais été aussi poussé. Il s'agit ici de s'interroger sur les origines, les aspects et les enjeux de ce phénomène. Comme pour toute évolution caractérisant les sociétés humaines, il importe de rechercher des racines historiques lointaines, car en identifiant ces racines, on sera mieux à même de le comprendre. C'est l'ambition de ce petit ouvrage qui présentera une nouvelle approche de la mondialisation à travers différents sujets : les échanges, l'évolution de l'État, les organisations internationales, la finance, les firmes multinationales, la population, les inégalités, la culture, les techniques, l'écologie et le domaine militaire. Autant de thèmes classiques sur la question, qui seront abordés tour à tour, à la fois sous l'angle historique et celui de l'actualité. Jacques Brasseul est professeur de sciences économiques à l'université du Sud (Toulon-Var). Il a publié de nombreux articles, et plusieurs livres aux éditions Armand Colin : une Histoire des faits économiques et sociaux en trois volumes, allant des origines à nos jours (parus en 1997, 1998 et 2003, les deux premiers réédités en 2001 et 2004), ainsi qu'un mémento (Petite histoire des faits économiques et sociaux, 2001, 2003), et deux ouvrages sur l'économie des pays en voie de développement : Introduction à l'économie du développement (1989, 1993) et Les NPI et l'industrialisation du tiers-monde (1993). Débats. Commerce. Gouvernance. Finance. Firmes. Population. Culture et techniques. Écologie. Guerre. Conclusion. La mondialisation en perspective historique, un bilan.

Download or read book Multinational Enterprises and the Challenge of Sustainable Development written by John R. McIntyre and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transnational corporations play a role in the design, diffusion, and consolidation of sustainable development in the context of globalization and multinational firms. In this timely book European and American contributors analyze this role and explore the complex and dynamic phenomena of economic, political, cultural and legal interactions involved. In order to understand this interplay, the authors examine the practices and organizational behaviors used by multinationals in sustainable development. They also discuss the evolving concepts that multinationals hold about sustainable development and corporate social responsibility and how companies reaffirm these philosophies through their strategy and organizational practices such as human resource development, marketing, supply chain, information technology, law, and communications. The authors outline an approach to help identify the key details and motivating factors in decision making. Scholars, students and policy analysts in the fields of business, ecology, economic development and developmental economics and consultants focusing in corporate planning and strategic analysis will find this original collection of great value.

Download or read book Multinational Agribusinesses written by Ruth Rama and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2004-12-21 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stay a step ahead of the global competition in food and fiber production, processing, and sales! Multinational Agribusinesses is an essential guide to the inner workings of companies with direct investments in the food and fiber system in the United States and the world. The book provides in-depth and up-to-date analysis of the crucial issues facing multinational enterprises involved in input and output supply activities, commodity investment, food manufacturing, and food distribution. An international panel of academics and researchers working in economics and agriculture presents strategic management and economic analysis of agribusinesses representing a variety of sizes and nationalities. Multinational Agribusinesses examines the key areas of concern to multinationals involved with food and drink processing and/or upstream industries, including recent trends, growth factors, innovations, product and geographic diversification, and intra-firm trade. The book presents updated statistics (total sales, agrifood sales, net income, employment figures, number of total businesses on overseas and home markets) on the world’s 100 largest food multinationals, and updated tables on sell-offs, divestitures, and plant closures. Multinational Agribusinesses looks at enterprises in the United States, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, Southeast Asia, and Brazil, including Ajinomoto®, Coca-Cola®, Nestlé®, Ralston Purina®, Unilever®, Barilla®, and the Charoen Pokphan Group®. Multinational Agribusinesses provides managers with answers to the questions they consider every day, including: Why do some multinational agribusinesses grow faster than others? Is product or geographic diversification conducive to good performance? Are Japanese food multinationals a challenge to my business? What industrial and geographical strategies are my competitors using? Government officials in countries hosting multinationals can find answers to their questions, including: Is my food multinational taking its research and development facilities abroad? Will foreign direct investment outflows reduce my country’s export of food? Are multinational agribusinesses from new source countries viable? And Multinational Agribusinesses will supply academics with responses to theoretical inquiries, such as: Is the standard theory of the multinational enterprises applicable to food multinationals? What are the specificities of food multinationals compared to other multinationals? Multinational Agribusinesses is a unique resource for international business managers, officials from government or international organizations, and academics working in international business studies and agricultural economics.

Download or read book Multinational Firms Location and the New Economic Geography written by Jean Louis Mucchielli and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The choice of location for the production plants of multinational firms is an important issue, not least because this decision is accompanied by so many fears brought into public debate. This book analyses how foreign direct investors choose their locations, whilst exploring the forces which shape international economic geography. Although these two issues are, to some extent, inter-related, researchers have only recently acknowledged the similarity of economic geography and international business approaches to the empirical assessment of likely causes of the degree of spatial concentration observed in many modern industries. Giving insight into the direction that future research should take, this book contains state-of-the-art papers on both theoretical and empirical levels. This original collection makes a particularly important contribution to our understanding of the existence and impact of home market effects. Introducing a welcome synthesis between two related and yet rarely integrated areas of study using case studies of firms in Europe, US MNEs and the Mexican automobile industry, this book will be welcomed by both academic and practising economists. Regional scientists and.

Download or read book Regional and Global Multinationals written by Christoph Czychon and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-06-29 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on their ability to facilitate interdependencies across the borders of national and regional markets, multinationals enterprises (MNEs) act as the key drivers of world trade and investment activities. While recent global challenges additionally highlight the need to explain and assess the status and progress of internationality/-regionality, previous research renders the concept of firm-level globalization as a special but not the general case. Christoph Czychon dedicates specific attention to the research on regional and global MNEs based on an extensive and rigorous review of the existing academic literature as well as the analysis of 2005-2015 empirical data from the European context with a focus on CAC40- and DAX30-listed firms. In doing so, the author offers insights and results that stand in contrast to the original narrative of the debate and presents a comprehensive and updated perspective on regional and global MNEs.

Download or read book Cities in Globalization written by Peter Taylor and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-11-20 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite traditionally being a strong research topic in urban studies, inter-city relations had become grossly neglected until recently, when it was placed back on the research agenda with the advent of studies of world/global cities. More recently the ‘external relations’ of cities have taken their place alongside ‘internal relations’ within cities to constitute the full nature of cities. This collection of essays on how and why cities are connecting to each other in a globalizing world provides evidence for a new city-centered geography that is emerging in the twenty-first century. Cities in Globalization covers four key themes beginning with the different ways of measuring a ‘world city network’, ranging from analyses of corporate structures to airline passenger flows. Second is the recent European advances in studying ‘urban systems’ which are compared to the Anglo-American city networks approach. These chapters add conceptual vigour to traditional themes and provide findings on European cities in globalization. Thirdly the political implications of these new geographies of flows are considered in a variety of contexts: the localism of city planning, specialist ‘political world cities’, and the ‘war on terror’. Finally, there are a series of chapters that critically review the state of our knowledge on contemporary relations between cities in globalization. Cities in Globalization provides an up-to-date assembly of leading American and European researchers reporting their ideas on the critical issue of how cities are faring in contemporary globalization and is highly illustrated throughout with over forty figures and tables.

Download or read book The New Spirit of Capitalism written by Luc Boltanski and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2018-01-16 with total page 688 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New edition of this major work examining the development of neoliberalism In this established classic, sociologists Luc Boltanski and Eve Chiapello get to the heart of contemporary capitalism. Delving deep into the latest management texts informing the thinking of employers, the authors trace the contours of a new spirit of capitalism. They argue that beginning in the mid-1970s, capitalism abandoned the hierarchical Fordist work structure and developed a new network-based form of organization founded on employee initiative and autonomy in the workplace—a putative freedom bought at the cost of material and psychological security. This was a spirit in tune with the libertarian and romantic currents of the period (as epitomized by dressed-down, cool capitalists such as Bill Gates and Ben and Jerry) and, as the authors argue, a more successful, pernicious, and subtle form of exploitation. In this new edition, the authors reflect on the reception of the book and the debates it has stimulated.
