A new breed of multinational companies is reshaping competition in global industries. For most of the 19th and 20th centuries, multinational firms came from the most technologically advanced countries in the world. Over the last two decades, however, new multinational firms from upper-middle-income economies (e.g. Spain, Ireland, Portugal, South Korea, and Taiwan), developing countries (e.g. Egypt, Indonesia, and Thailand), and oil-rich countries (e.g. United Arab Emirates, Nigeria, Russia, and Venezuela) have become formidable global competitors. These firms do not necessarily possess technological or marketing skills. In contrast to the classic multinationals, they found strength in their ability to organize, manage, execute, and network. They pursued a variety of strategies including vertical integration, product diversification, learning by doing, exploration of new capabilities, and collaboration with other firms. This book documents this phenomenon, identifies key capabilities of the new multinationals, and provides a new conceptual framework to understand its causes and implications.

Who Owns the World's Media? moves beyond the rhetoric of free media and free markets to provide a dispassionate and data-driven analysis of global media ownership trends and their drivers. Based on an extensive data collection effort from scholars around the world, the book covers 13 media industries, including television, newspapers, book publishing, film, search engines, ISPs, wireless telecommunication and others, across a 10-25 year period in 30 countries.
This book identifies and analyses the main socio-economic trends that characterize Vivendi, the French mass media conglomerate, and explores how they have oriented its development and evolution. Philippe Bouquillion explores the industrial, financial, globalization and public policy issues in the various sectors in which Vivendi is involved, paying particular attention to recorded music, pay television, publishing, video games, advertising and telecommunications. He examines Vivendi’s role as a key global player in the entertainment and cultural industries as a result of its established position as world number one in recorded music via Universal Music Group. He also highlights Vivendi’s involvement in various national markets, including their notable strategies in African markets and their significance in the telecommunications and television markets in Italy. This book will be of interest to students, scholars and researchers of global media, media and cultural industries, and political economy.

Der französische Ehrengastauftritt auf der Frankfurter Buchmesse 2017 rückte statt der Literatur Frankreichs die französische Sprache in den Fokus, und erklärte, "ein internationales Schaufenster der Literatur in französischer Sprache in ihrer größten Vielfalt" sein zu wollen. Die Studie setzt sich mit dem Konzept der Bibliodiversität - kultureller Vielfalt bezogen auf das Buchwesen - und seiner Bedeutung im Kontext von Francfort en francais auseinander. Sie klärt, wie Bibliodiversität bei der Umsetzung des Auftritts berücksichtigt wurde, und untersucht dessen Folgen für die Akteur:innen in den beteiligten frankophonen und deutschsprachigen literarischen Feldern, sowie für die Diversität von Übersetzungen aus dem Französischen auf dem deutschsprachigen Buchmarkt. Die Studie stellt eine der wenigen bisher existierenden, umfassenden und empirischen Untersuchungen zur Bibliodiversität dar.
