TL;DR: The relationship between internalisation and competitive advantage in international business has been investigated in this article, with reference to the work of Hymer and contrasting the nature of internalisation decisions with those building short-run competitive advantage.
Abstract: The established theory of international business is not without problems. It is necessary to specify the key relationships between internalisation and market structure and between internalisation and competitive advantage more carefully. This chapter attempts to clarify the former relationship by reference to the work of Hymer and the latter by contrasting the nature of internalisation decisions with those building short-run competitive advantage. Avenues of development of the theory include the integration of non-traditional concepts and the reintegration of areas of research which have become divorced from core international business theory.

Abstract: This paper analyses the situation and suggests a way ahead. It is in three parts. The first part reviews the situation at the start of the 1990s. It identifies the growing concern of managers about justifying IT investment, and the methods which they currently use in their organizations to do so.

A benefit-level matrix is described which can be used as a tool for both analysis and synthesis within the business context.

TL;DR: In this paper, the existence of business enterprise value in a shopping mall is examined by examining the rent paid by existing tenants on a lease renewal vs. that paid by new tenants for otherwise identical space.
Abstract: This paper discusses the economic basis for the existence of business enterprise value in a shopping mall. The existence of business enterprise value in a mall is then tested by examining the rent paid by existing tenants on a lease renewal vs. that paid by new tenants for otherwise identical space. The hypothesis that there is no difference in rents between renewals and new tenants can be rejected. This suggests that with each lease renewal there is a marginal increase in business enterprise value component of the rents. Proposed federal regulations for the appraisal of federally related transactions, the uniform standards of professional appraisal practice, and real property tax law call for separation of the value of intangibles (which include business value) from tangible personal property and from real property. Thus the business value portion of the mall rental should not be capitalized into the value of the real estate. Because income from lease renewals includes business value, the leases must be ...

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a new approach, methods, tools and structures for organizing training for business executives in international trade, which is similar to the one described in this paper.
Abstract: In nearly all developing countries, the need to upgrade the marketing management skills of business executives in international trade is increasing rapidly. The capacity of existing training institutions, however, needs to be strengthened in order to meet the future requirements of the business community. To date, most training is provided by business schools, institutes of foreign trade, or other similar training institutes which have limited experience in executive development, particularly in international business. Organizing training for business executives differs greatly from that for business students. Training institutions and trainers involved in providing programmes to experienced target groups must introduce new approaches, methods, tools and structures when organizing such training. Programmes need to be practical and relevant to participants. Trainers of export business executives should regard themselves as training managers accountable for the delivery of effective training programmes enab...

At Bucknell University, resource constraints have demanded that an international business course serve a wide variety of students. This article describes the structure and content of such a course and the role it plays in both business and liberal arts curricula. This expanded concept of international business has implications for larger institutions as well as requiring that new research directions be pursued.
