Book Successful Strategies of Mncs in Central and Eastern Europe

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.

Book Global Goliaths

Download or read book Global Goliaths written by James R. Hines and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2021-04-20 with total page 585 pages. 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.

Book Success Factors of Regional Strategies for Multinational Corporations

Download or read book Success Factors of Regional Strategies for Multinational Corporations written by Patrick Heinecke and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-01-15 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work examines the factors that drive the success of Multinational Corporations (MNCs) in their pursuit of regional strategies. The author develops a comprehensive regional success factor model, by which the effects of regional management autonomy and regional product and service adaptation on the regional success of MNCs as well as the interaction effects of regional orientation and inter-regional distance are investigated. The model is evaluated by means of the partial-least-squares (PLS) method on the basis of a survey-based inquiry of the Fortune Global 500 firms with success indicator data for a period of nine years. The findings highlight the importance of considering the different degrees of contextual influence in the design of regional strategies, where low degrees of regional management autonomy and high levels of regional product/service adaptation are found to be appropriate for MNCs to be regionally successful.
