Locomotive business
This report explores how public sector support promotes the locomotive model, which is understood as partnerships between locomotive companies and SMEs in order to facilitate export of cleantech and system solutions. Support structures vary a lot among the Nordic countries. A main observation is that the various programmes in all Nordic countries had little information on the impacts of the instruments. Some suggestions for policy makers in the Nordic countries are offered, now with an understanding of the interaction between large businesses and SMEs, which wish to export clean technologies. The project was carried out from May 2014 to December 2014 by a consortium led by COWI with FORES, Swedish Entrepreneurship Forum and Tyrsky Consulting as partners. The Nordic Council of Minister's Working Group on Sustainable Consumption and Production initiated and financed the project.
Relationships between Foreign Subsidiaries
Julia Maurer offers the first comprehensive conceptual and empirical approach to the relationships between foreign subsidiaries. She develops a novel framework for the analysis of intersubsidiary relationships and applies it to the large-scale plant engineering industry. The empirical study confirms that an MNC`s strategic orientation has a considerable impact on its intersubsidiary relationships.
Perception Gaps between Headquarters and Subsidiary Managers
Andrea Daniel not only compares headquarters and subsidiary managers’ perceptions of a subsidiary’s role, but she analyzes the implications of perception gaps for the headquarters-subsidiary relationship.
Performance Evaluation of Foreign Subsidiaries
Katharina Kretschmer contributes to the role typology research stream in international business. The book is highly relevant for management practice. Deep insights into the implications of subsidiary roles are displayed, and it is shown that role-specific subsidiary management is possible if not necessary. In the future, MNC managers could benefit even more when, instead of treating all their subsidiaries alike, approaching them differently – especially when evaluating their performance.
Organizational Communication and Sustainable Development: ICTs for Mobility
Covering advantages as well as disadvantages, explores how mobility meets sustainability in contemporary organizational communication.
Kommunikation im Projektmanagement
Ausgehend von einem systemischen Projektmodell und einem konstruktivistischen Mehrebenenmodell von Kommunikation rekonstruiert Matthias Freitag insgesamt 34 Funktionen der Projektkommunikation. Der Autor konkretisiert den breiten, aber auch ambivalenten Einfluss der Kommunikation auf die Projektarbeit, sowohl auf der Ebene des Individuums und des Projektteams als auch in der Beziehung zu den Anspruchsgruppen. Dabei zeigt er, dass neben Projektsteuerung, Reporting und Dokumentation auch Leistungserbringung und Lernen, Teamentwicklung und Führung sowie die Beziehungsgestaltung zu Stakeholdern durch Projektmarketing und Politik in erster Linie Kommunikationsaufgaben sind. Neuere Entwicklungen wie das agile Projektmanagement und die virtuelle Zusammenarbeit unterstreichen diesen Einfluss noch.
Wissensmanagement in Familienunternehmen
Helge Döring untersucht wie Familienunternehmen unterschiedlicher Größen durch die Ausgestaltung von IT-basierten und nicht IT-basierten Werkzeugen ihr bestehendes Wissen unter allen Mitarbeitern verteilen, neues Wissen aus der Umwelt aufnehmen und Wissensabflüsse z.B. durch Pensionierungen kompensieren können. Es wird aufgezeigt, dass die größte praktische Herausforderung für Familienunternehmen darin besteht, die bestehende Wissensbasis zu schützen und das in den Mitarbeitern individuell vorhandene erfolgsrelevante Wissen in ein organisationales Wissen umzuwandeln.
Managing Opportunity Development in Business Networks
Business opportunity is defined as the driving force that creates entrepreneurship, change and growth in both SMEs and multinational firms. Business networks provide opportunities and competitive advantage but they also impose constraints on firms. This volume connects opportunity detection with business networks to explore the impact of this combination on the competitive strategies of firms. It will be of use to researchers and PhD candidates working in the field of entrepreneurship, networks, and competitive strategies and advantages.
Academia #1: The Mystery Component
New York City, spring of 1929 When the city’s new courthouse collapses during its opening ceremony, the two rivaling universities of hermetics and astronomy find themselves embroiled in a far-reaching scandal. For questionable reasons, hermeticist student, Nia Himlan, and astronomer, Aden Fenice, are selected to investigate the extent of their universities’ culpability in the incident. Soon, however, their investigation gets hampered by conflicts of interest, and further complicated by the interference of a third university. When further developments make it apparent that the university administrators are more concerned with preserving their reputations than uncovering the truth, Nia and Aden realize that they have much to gain by solving the mystery and everything to lose if they don’t. The Mystery Component is the first volume in the alchemy punk series Academia, a story of science, prejudice, and magic.
