Intercultural Transfer of Management Practices of German MNC to Brazil
Multinational companies transfer managerial practices such as quality management globally. Studies from different perspectives have examined cultural, institutional, and organizational challenges in practice transfer, however, little is known about the micro-processes of intercultural transfer, especially in complex cultural settings as Brazil. Integrating the recontextualization perspective and Scandinavian institutionalist transfer-as-translation approach, this book explores micro-processes of transfer from German MNC to Brazilian subsidiaries from a multiple cultures perspective. Findings show the complementary nature of micro-processes of translation and recontextualization, embedding th...
Handbuch Globale Kompetenz
Ziel des Handbuches ist es, den wissenschaftlichen Forschungsstand zum Thema ‚Globale Kompetenz‘ praxisorientiert darzustellen. Globale Kompetenz beschreibt die Fähigkeit einer Person, weltweit effektiv und positiv mit seinen Mitmenschen umgehen sowie Krisen und Herausforderungen bewältigen zu können. Global kompetente Personen sind offen gegenüber kulturellen Normen und akzeptieren hierdurch geprägte Erwartungen, zum Beispiel hinsichtlich der Sprache, Gestik, Verhaltens- und Umgangsformen, Höflichkeit und Werten. Die Themen orientieren sich an den drei Säulen der Globalen Kompetenz: Nachhaltigkeit, interkulturelle Kompetenz und soziale Verantwortung in einer multi- und interdisziplinären Perspektive aus Psychologie, Soziologie, Politikwissenschaft und den Wirtschaftswissenschaften.

The Oxford Handbook of Organization Theory
2) How has organization theory developed over time, and what structure has the field taken? What assumptions does knowledge produced in organization theory incorporate, and what forms do its knowledge claims take as they are put forward for public adoption? 3) How have certain well-known controversies in organization theory, such as for example, the structure/agency dilemma, the study of organizational culture, the different modes of explanation, the micro/macro controversy, and the differnet explanations produced by organizational economists and sociologists, been dealt with? 4) How, and in what ways, is knowledge generated in organization theory related to action? What features must organization theory knowledge have in order to be actionable, and of relevance to the world 'out there'? How have ethical concerns been taken into account in organization theory? 5) What is the future of organization theory? What direction should the field take? What must change in the way research is conducted and key theoretical terms are conceptualized so that organization theory enhances its capacity to generate valid and relevant knowledge?
Intelligent Enterprise
In this penetrating study of how knowledge-based services and technology are revolutionizing the economy and every corporate strategy, James Brian Quinn argues that the successful companies of the 90's -- whether in manufacturing or services -- will derive their competitive edge not from ephemerally superior products but from a deep understanding of a few highly developed knowledge and service based "core competencies." Rarely will owning the largest raw materials resource, manufacturing plants, equipment bases, or integrated facilities provide a maintainable competitive edge for major companies. Such physical properties are too easily cloned or bypassed. From now on, Quinn documents, intell...
