TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the spatial organization of production and employment of multinational enterprises (MNEs) and the stage of its internationalization process influences employment in both home and host countries.
Abstract: textMultinational enterprises (MNEs) are often held responsible for the ‘relocation of production’ and ‘exporting jobs’ to, often low-wage, countries at the expense of domestic jobs. Additionally, host country governments – in particular in developing countries - often perceive international production by MNEs as the panacea for generating employment and economic growth. What is the spatial organization of production and employment of MNEs? What are the employment effects of changes in the geography of international strategy? Have MNEs increasingly integrated production across borders with a regional division of labor and, what are the employment effects?This thesis demonstrates that the geography of a MNE’s internationalization strategy as well as the stage of its internationalization process influences employment in both home and host countries. Competition among workers within macro regions in industrialized countries (e.g. the EU) and among low wage countries or regions is often greater than between high and low wage countries. The employment effects of internationalizing firms are often intertwined with processes of regional integration as well as with the herding and strategic behavior of MNEs.

TL;DR: In the early stages of another "great leap forward" in the internationalization of the world's economic activity, and this has great implications for the management as discussed by the authors, and American managers and executives appear to be consistently ethnocentric in their approach to the practice of management including management succession and the development and implementation of policies, practices and procedures designed to support corporate management succession.
Abstract: ■ We are in the early stages of another "great leap forward" in the internationalization of the world's economic activity, and this has great implications for the management. ■ American managers and executives appear to be consistently ethnocentric in their approach to the practice of management including their approach to management succession and the development and implementation of policies, practices and procedures designed to support corporate management succession. ■ If American corporations fail to integrate an international perspective into their human resource management policies and practices, their ability to compete successfully in the global marketplace will continue to be encumbered.

TL;DR: In this article, a more complete explanation of learning, its relationship to innovation, and their joint effect on early internationalization was developed, and case studies of early internationalizing firms from Australia and the United States were conducted.
Abstract: Organizational learning has been studied as a key factor in firm performance and internationalization. Moving beyond the past emphasis on market learning, we develop a more complete explanation of learning, its relationship to innovation, and their joint effect on early internationalization. We theorize that, driven by the founders’ international vision, early internationalizing firms employ a dual subsystem of dynamic capabilities: a market subsystem consisting of market-focused learning capability and marketing capability, and a socio-technical subsystem comprised of network learning capability and internally focused learning capability. We argue that innovation mediates the proposed relationship between the dynamic capability structure and early internationalization. We conduct case studies to develop the conceptual framework and test it in a field survey of early internationalizing firms from Australia and the United States. Our findings indicate a complex interplay of capabilities driving innovation and early internationalization. We provide theoretical and practical implications and offer insights for future research.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a literature review and a survey which show the following main results: first, R&D and technology have become key cornerstones of corporate and business strategy and there is a growing tendency to acquire technology from external sources throughout the sample.
Abstract: This contribution analyses main changes in the strategic management of technology of the world’s most technology-intensive companies from western Europe, North America and Japan. The results presented here are based on a literature review and a survey which show the following main results: first, R&D and technology have become key cornerstones of corporate and business strategy. Second, there is a growing tendency to acquire technology from external sources throughout the sample. Third, internationalization of R&D plays a very important role in the strategies of the large companies investigated and the data shows that it will certainly gain further momentum. However, internationalization of R&D is confined to the Triad regions and is not ‘global’. Based on our analysis, cornerstones of a future generation of R&D/technology management are developed.
