This book explores the internationalization of Turkish multinationals by examining a set of firms from various industries and providing eleven detailed case studies. The authors aim to discover the reasons behind the drive for internationalization within the firms, and how their internationalization processes work. By focusing on a medium-sized emerging country, which is strategically located at the intersection of European, Asian and African markets, Turkish Multinationals provide a significant contribution to research on multinational firms in emerging countries. Topics discussed include: strategic motives for and drivers of internationalization at multiple levels (firm, industry and institutional); the location, ownership and entry modes of multinational firms; and their market entry and post-acquisition strategies, which are critical to the evolution of the internationalization process. This innovative book will offer an alternative perspective to current debate on emerging markets, and will be of great interest to both academics of global strategy and international business, and policy-makers.

How did Christian missions happen in the early church from AD 100 to 750? Beginning with a brief look at the social, political, cultural, and religious contexts, Mission in the Early Church tells the story of early Christian missionaries, their methods, and their missiology. This book explores some of the most prominent themes of mission in early Christianity, including suffering, evangelism, Bible translation, contextualization, ministry in Word and deed, and the church. Based on this survey, modern readers are invited to a conversation that considers how early Christian mission might inform global mission thought and practice today.
Twenty-first-century Christians in the West crave comfort, affluence, freedom from pain, and even power. However, the story of global Christianity--from Christ, the early church, right up to the present day--has been shaped by suffering and even martyrdom. In this short book Edward Smither explores martyrdom both biblically and historically. He defends three claims: in martyrdom we verbally bear witness to Christ, we raise a prophetic voice, and we worship. Christians today, argues Smither, especially those in the West, should welcome suffering and martyrdom as a normal part of the Christian life.
Özellikle 2000’li yıllardan sonra dünya ticaret hacminin çok hızlı bir şekilde büyümesi çok daha fazla firmayı uluslararası ticari girişimlere yönlendirmiştir. Uluslararası ticaret 20. yüzyılın son çeyreğine kadar yoğun bir şekilde ABD, AB ve Japonya gibi gelişmiş ülke işletmeleri tarafından gerçekleştirilmiştir. Daha sonraki yıllarda ise özellikle güneydoğu Asya ülkelerinin dış ticarete yönelmesi ile gelişmekte olan ülke işletmeleri de uluslararası ticaretten pay almaya başlamıştır. Türk işletmeleri de gelişmiş ülke işletmeleri gibi özellikle 1980’li yıllardan sonra uluslararası ticarete yönelmiştir. Finansal zayıflıklar, kaynak yetersizliği, dış ticaret eksikliği gibi nedenler Türk işletmeleri öncelikle daha az risk içeren pazara giriş stratejilerine (ihracat) yönelmiş, artan bilgi ve birikim, gelişen finansal olanaklar ve kaynak tedarikinin sağlanması ile birlikte de daha yüksek risk içeren ancak daha yüksek oranlarda kâr getirisi sağlayan stratejilere (ortak girişim, direkt yatırım) yönelmişlerdir.
Mission in the Marketplace What can the prophet Daniel teach us about serving in God's mission? Daniel was not a priest or official religious leader—he was a forcibly displaced Israelite, who became a public administrator in the Babylonian and Persian empires. While he may serve as an example of an admirable work ethic—often finding favor and recognition with political leaders—he is also a prime example of a bold and godly individual, willing to be a witness in his sphere of influence. Though his boldness resulted in suffering, he consistently experienced and demonstrated God’s power in his witness. This same boldness is needed today. While many books and Bible studies explore the wo...
