Theories of the Multinational FirmA Multidimensional Creature in the Global Economy, Second EditionMats Forsgren, Uppsala University, Sweden Revised and updated international business text for upper level undergraduate and postgraduate students.

‘Thankfully, the new edition of this popular book retains all that made the original so impressive and useful. Six important theoretical perspectives of the multinational company (MNC) are discussed at length and compared. Why MNCs exist, how they compete, and their impact on society are the big, eternal questions addressed by the book. What is new in this edition are: an updated description of the international environment, an evaluation of Buckley’s recent theory about the global factory, the influence of economic clusters like Silicon Valley on internalization theory, and a revised discussion of the organizational capability perspective. The book can be read and understood at multiple levels, from learning what each theory is about to appreciating the more subtle implications of their differences for firms and society. Despite the complexity of the subject, the book is an easy and enjoyable read. It is written in a lively, user-friendly style, with many illustrated examples.’

– William G. Egelhoff, Fordham University, US

This expanded and updated edition of a successful textbook will be required reading for both undergraduate and postgraduate students of international business, international management and international economy courses.

International ManagementTheory and PracticePaul N. Gooderham, NHH – The Norwegian School of Economics, Birgitte Grøgaard, University of Calgary, Canada and the late Odd Nordhaug, formerly of the NHH – The Norwegian School of EconomicsThis timely and accessible MBA textbook explores the challenges faced by today’s multinational corporations.

‘This excellent book covers the field of international business and particularly international management and is written in a way that cuts through these complex concepts and makes them understandable without losing any of the nuances. The substantial case studies attached to each topic and chapter can be mined by teachers and students in a variety of different ways. The book is ideal for Masters students, but many of their teachers can gain a lot from it too.’

– Chris Brewster, University of Reading, UK

‘This book focuses on the challenges facing MNCs who are “playing away from home” in different institutional frameworks and complex cultural contexts. In each chapter the authors provide a clear exposition and critique of the current literature followed by a sophisticated case study that highlights the key challenges and dilemmas faced by MNCs in dynamic environments. Through a combination of solid theory and rich cases this book provides a fresh and important contribution to the discipline and will be invaluable for academics, postgraduate students and practitioners.’

The Handbook of Globalisation, Second EditionEdited by Jonathan Michie, Kellogg College, University of Oxford, UKThe 2008 global credit crunch, which in 2009 created the first global recession since the 1930s, demonstrated that the ‘capitalism unleashed’ model of globalisation which had been promoted from the 1980s onwards was both damaging and unsustainable.

With contributions from the leading commentators in the field and an over-arching introduction from the editor, the concerns of this updated and revised handbook are two-fold. Firstly, to redefine the concept of globalisation and dispel the haze that surrounds it through a systematic and thorough examination of the debate. Secondly, to advance the frontiers of current critical thinking on the role and impact of globalisation, on the winners and losers in the process, and on the implications for society, the economy and governance.

Offering a genuinely inter-disciplinary perspective, this Handbook represents the definitive guide to what is an all-pervasive issue. It should be on the bookshelves of all postgraduate and advanced undergraduate students in economics, business, international studies and related fields, as well as scholars and policymakers with an interest in the global economy and in the functioning of an increasingly globalised world.

Internationalization of Firms from Economies in TransitionThe Effects of a Politico-Economic Paradigm ShiftEdited by Mai Thi Thanh Thai and Ekaterina Turkina, HEC Montréal, CanadaThis book provides a detailed analysis of how and why firms from economies in transition internationalize and examines the effects of domestic politico-economic factors on this process.

Transition economies undergo economic liberalization, which enables market forces to set prices. The economic transition process is usually characterized by significant changes in the role of the state, the creation and promotion of private-owned enterprises, markets and independent financial institutions. With the opening of the domestic economy and integration into the international economy, domestic firms have an opportunity to explore international markets, which was impossible under previous regime. This book provides insights into these phenomena and investigates the impact these changes have had on firm internationalization.

Collective Knowledge ManagementFoundations of International Business in the Age of Intellectual CapitalismHaruo H. Horaguchi, Hosei University, JapanHuman beings create knowledge as a result of interaction with others. This book is devoted to the idea that collective knowledge management can be strategically promoted through these interactions in order to enhance a firm’s competitiveness.Haruo Horaguchi explores a new perspective of knowledge management as an eco-system, a theory that explains why Japanese multinational enterprises lead the way for innovation in the 21st century. While the concept of personal knowledge through tacit knowing describes how knowledge is understood as input for individuals, the concept of collective knowledge management contributes to the creation of intellectual resources for firms. This book provides a critical assessment of the classic theories of innovation and an intensive empirical study on industrial agglomeration and collective intelligence. It then goes on to offer a new theory of management.

The Internationalisation of Business R&DEdited by Bernhard Dachs, AIT Austrian Institute of Technology, Robert Stehrer, The Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies (wiiw) and Georg Zahradnik, AIT Austrian Institute of Technology, AustriaIt has become evident over the past few decades that enterprises not only produce and sell abroad but increasingly also develop goods and services outside their home countries, a development now known as the internationalisation of business R&D. Taking stock of this increasingly important phenomenon, this book provides a comprehensive picture of the current state of the internationalisation of R&D in the business sector.

Handbook of Longitudinal Research Methods in Organisation and Business StudiesEdited by Melanie E. Hassett and Eriikka Paavilainen-Mäntymäki, University of Turku, Finland‘This is a very timely book that fills an important gap in the field of research methods. So far very little attention has been paid to longitudinal research methods, while the usefulness of this type of research has often been discussed in many papers and conferences. Insights provided by scholars who have been doing this type of research provide useful guidelines for anyone interested in research methods from senior scholars to young researchers and PhD candidates. This volume will serve as an excellent complement to the existing range of books on research methods.’

Innovation and CreativityPillars of the Future Global EconomyEdited by Filip De Beule and Ysabel Nauwelaerts, Lessius University College at KU Leuven, BelgiumThis book analyses the key drivers of innovation and creativity at a country and at a firm level. The authors first look at how European countries and their policies have fared on innovation and creativity measures. They go on to examine multinational companies in particular, analyzing research and innovation at the headquarters and subsidiary level, and the linkages between them. Looking at the management of innovation in firms and subsidiaries, they gain insights into how firms can innovate more effectively and efficiently and examine the role of management control and culture in stimulating creativity as an important driver of innovation. In sum, researchers, government officials, and managers will be enlightened on how to be more creative and innovative.

Innovation and Institutional Embeddedness of Multinational Companies Edited by Martin Heidenreich, Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg, Germany‘This wonderful volume brings together contributions mainly from the innovation literature, whose findings are in a sense quite familiar, but which in this collection are juxtaposed in such a way as to highlight their common institutional underpinnings. This is very much due to the efforts of the editor, whose insightful introduction and editorial vision brings out several interesting and emerging themes from this collection of papers. I think this volume breaks new ground in highlighting the embeddedness of MNE subsidiaries in multiple contexts, and it will be of considerable interest to scholars engaged with institutional analysis. However, I also believe that researchers interested in regional embeddedness, the geography of innovation, and knowledge management will find new angles to their work in this collected volume.’

China’s Economic MiracleDoes FDI Matter? Sumei Tang, Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations, Canberra, Eliyathamby A. Selvanathan and Saroja Selvanathan, Griffith University, Queensland, AustraliaThis insightful book analyses the impact of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in China as well as making valuable contributions to the theory of FDI more broadly. The authors provide empirical analysis of key factors including the location-specific determinants of FDI; the impact of FDI on domestic investment, income distribution, consumption and tourism; the relationship between FDI inflows and income inequality; causality between FDI, domestic investment and economic growth; and causality between FDI and tourism. The study concludes that FDI plays a crucial and positive role in the economic development of China. Rather than crowding out domestic investment, FDI is found to stimulate economic growth by complementing it.

Rodrigues, Erasmus University, The Netherlands and Universidade FUMEC, Belo Horizonte, Brazil‘This book gives full due to two areas which were totally under-researched in earlier work, namely how corporate evolution takes place and how it can proceed within a highly politicized as well as institutionalized environment. The Dynamics of Corporate Co-evolution is a remarkable statement of facts, a solid perspective on co-evolution – the way the relationships between YICT and its environments evolved together. It is an invaluable source of data on how a new container terminal became, after an initially difficult period, one of the world top-class ports largely through the initiatives of its management.’

Differing national laws prevent firms from developing consistent sets of employment policies, but, at the same time, employees are often expected to work closely with colleagues located in many different countries and seek comparable treatment. This critical volume offers a comprehensive analysis of how these contradictory issues are dealt with in five countries – Australia, Brazil, Germany, Japan and the United States.
