Download or read book Multinationals and Transition written by J. Manea and published by Springer. This book was released on 2004-03-03 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book refocuses thinking on how multinational enterprises (MNEs) can achieve a sustained contribution to European transition economies as these countries move from the processes of transformation into pursuit of more sustained development. The authors apply key aspects of recent work on the strategic aims and nature of the contemporary MNE to the transition economy context, and find that the generation and application of technology has particular relevance to the success of MNEs in Central and Eastern Europe. The book is based on the results of two new wide-ranging surveys and includes a thorough review of current literature.
Download or read book Successful Strategies of Mncs in Central and Eastern Europe written by Roxana Wright and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2009-08 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Central and Eastern Europe experienced profound changes for the past two decades as its economies progressed in their transition from communist central planning to market principles. Although the literature recognizes the importance of understanding how companies can unlock the full potential of these markets, few studies provide a framework that explains and predicts success. This book uses an original methodology and first-hand viewpoints to uncover successful approaches of multinational companies in the region. Some of the results are surprising. The winners of strategic adaptation to a changing business environment are not always emulating their surroundings. Instead of seizing opportunities, some push forward their carefully cultivated capabilities. The analysis should help corporate level executives identify viable regional strategies and local subsidiary managers establish sustainable business models. The book is a timely contribution that brings public policy into perspective. The treatment of organizations as interpretative systems has vast applicability for research.

Download or read book Emerging market Multinational Enterprises in East Central Europe written by Ágnes Szunomár and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 2021-12-08 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rise of multinational enterprises (MNEs) from emerging markets is topical, important and poses a number of questions and challenges that require considerable attention in the future from academia as well as business management. The recent takeovers of high-profile companies in developed or developing countries by non-European emerging-market MNEs (EMNEs) – such as Lenovo, Wanhua (China), Hindalco (India), CVRD (Brazil), Cemex (Mexico), Lukoil (Russia), etc. – as well as the greenfield or brownfield investments of emerging companies (such as Huawei, ZTE, Tata, Pepco, etc.) show a new trend where new kind of firms become major players globally. EMNEs have become important players in several regions around the globe, ranging from the least developed countries of Africa through the developing markets in Latin America and Asia to the developed countries of the United States or the European Union, including East Central European (ECE) countries. EMNEs presence on the global level has resulted in numerous studies in the international literature but those research results barely cover EMNEs’ activities in the ECE region (in the East Central European EU member countries, including the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia). The existing books typically focus on the investment activity of a single country or region (such as China or East Asia) but a comprehensive analysis is still missing in this regard. The novelty of this edited volume is that it aims at exploring EMNEs location determinants, strategies, activities and challenges in East Central Europe by discussing its anomalies to the traditional theories as well as to other types of MNEs in the ECE region. The authors focus on EMNEs not only from China but from other important emerging countries, too, such as Russia, India, South Korea, Taiwan, Turkey, Brazil or South Africa.

Download or read book Headquarters subsidiary relationship governance in emerging markets of Central Eastern Europe written by J.S. Hendriks-Gusc and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-08-28 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Multinational enterprises often seem to be on a 'roller coaster' when managing their operations in transition economies, especially because of the volatile business and political environment. By combining agency and stewardship theory, this book describes the subtle equilibrium between formal control and day-to-day coordination in the Headquarters-Subsidiary (HQ-S) governance relationship. Using the Polish situation as an example, it places HQ-S governance in the context of a transitional economy while taking the cultural differences between the headquarters and subsidiary country into account. This explorative empirical study shows that the use of strategic and operational control mechanisms work as a transparent ‘platform’ on which coordination and attuning mechanisms can be build to deal with the day-to-day management challenges in a transition economy. Creating flexibility and learning capabilities at the subsidiary level, rather than maintaining a subsidiary in a state of dependence can clearly contribute to the success of international operations. However, it also reveals that there is no simple and uniform recipe for managing subsidiaries. The road from governance to performance is not a one-way street and alternative routes are available to accelerate performance. This book is a valuable resource to all directors and managers of multinational enterprises, as well as academic researchers who concern themselves with the study of multinational enterprises in transition economies."
