The Integration Challenge
"The Integration Challenge: Discrimination Against Immigrants in Sweden's Open Economy" tackles the paradox of Sweden's welcoming economic system and the struggles faced by immigrants. It explores how discrimination, despite anti-bias laws, hinders immigrant integration into the job market and society. The book delves into the challenges immigrants face, like language barriers, lack of recognition of foreign qualifications, and social network exclusion. It analyzes potential reasons for discrimination, including unconscious bias and employer preference for local experience. "The Integration Challenge" offers potential solutions for a more inclusive Sweden. It examines policy changes, anti-discrimination measures, and integration programs that bridge the gap between immigrants' skills and employment opportunities.
International competitiveness
The international market is a variable that results from the events that domestic economies go through. This is the premise behind this study. The opening up of trade practiced in Brazil in the late 1980s and early 1990s was not an isolated event. Practically all countries pursued this course in order to reap the benefits of the technological advances seen in developed countries. It soon became apparent, however, that this was neglecting aspects of competition that played against the potential gains of developing economies. In Brazil, efforts were made to gradually open up foreign trade, moving away from the pattern of economic growth based on the policy of import substitution. This study looks at the effects of technological development and international competition patterns in a context of external trade openness. For the Brazilian case, the margins of protection for the domestic economy against external competition were calculated by observing the degrees of tariff reduction, non-tariff barriers and their effects on the Brazilian economy at this time.
Going Global, Starting Small
Forget the image of giant corporations conquering international markets. The mini-multinational is emerging as a powerful force. These smaller companies bypass the traditional path to global dominance, opting for a "think global, act local" approach. They leverage technology and remote talent to establish a presence in multiple countries, often focusing on niche markets. While lacking the size of traditional multinationals, mini-multinationals are agile and adaptable. They can quickly respond to local needs and capitalize on opportunities before larger players catch on. Their success story challenges the one-size-fits-all model of internationalization, demonstrating that global ambitions can start small and scale rapidly

The Right Way
The most popular go-to-market models for international expansion and scaleup involve working with and through distributor partners in different go-to-market models.Such markets are often described as 'partnership' or 'distributor' markets and are prevalent in emerging markets. Such markets offer good opportunities for growth and expansion.The challenge for many companies operating internationally through distributors can be summarised as: "How to deliver and achieve a scalable critical mass within five years". Success and scalability have eluded many seniors operating in distributor markets.The typical results experienced by so many company seniors often result in clusters of small value businesses that barely grow or make any impression on the numbers presented and agreed in the investment case. Such numbers are defined as "the critical mass" to be achieved.In short, many executives fail to deliver their agreed numbers over successive years.Anyone can be forgiven once for missing their numbers. But it becomes a habit when they fail to deliver their numbers over several years. In short, they could not find "the right way" to succeed.This book explains why so many executives failed so often and how to find "the right way" to succeed in international expansion and scale-ups.Amit Vaidya proposes that success is down to three key factors: 1. The design of the Go-to-Market Model.2. Finding and selecting the best-fit distributor partner in that model.3. Having the right talent to deliver the critical mass in international scale-up.He explains in detail: - The importance of both a quantitative and a qualitative assessment in selecting international markets for scaleup. - The different models available for international scaleup and their pros and cons including legal affiliates and local manufacturing options. - Why some models and people can deliver critical mass and others can't. - The distributor models that have the best chance to deliver a critical mass and why. - How to find good distributor partners. - The difference between wholesalers, distributors and distribution service providers and their ability to deliver a critical mass. - The key situations that should trigger a review of your distributor relationship. - How to find and pick good international business managers to lead the international scale-up. The content is entirely based on his experience and real life, not textbook theories. This makes the book rather unique in its offering and content. With this practical guide to designing the best international go-to-market models through distributors, readers will learn how to avoid the mistakes made so often by so many and will discover "the right way" to succeed.

Building a New Economy
Japan is attempting to build a new economy. It goes by various names, such as 'Society 5.0', 'sustainable capitalism', and 'new form of capitalism'. It is to be constructed through digital and green transformation, and a 'virtuous cycle of growth and distribution'. The effort faces strong headwinds, including demographic decline and ageing, Japan's external energy dependence and geopolitical turbulence, and the legacies of Japan's 'lost decades'. Nonetheless, since 2015 a path has been identified that steers between Big Tech market oligopoly on the one hand, and an overbearing state on the other. For others facing the same post-neoliberal, sustainability transformation challenges as Japan, this public-private coordinated building effort is noteworthy. Building a New Economy uses an evolutionary conceptual framework of states-and-markets, organizations-and-technology, and institutional change. It shows how the institutional coherence of the manufacturing-centred postwar model broke down, and was followed by the ideological and institutional dissonance of the 'lost decades'. However, new institutional building blocks have been identified and (partially) assembled which could lead Japan towards a new model which is more open and adaptive. These blocks include a reconfigured developmental state, and new forms of coordination with and within the corporate sector, at times encompassing civil society. Importantly, for a country that has favoured social stability over creative destruction, and has struggled with change, the path forward may require 'controlled dis-equilibrium' of institutions rather than tight coherence. 'Society 5.0' and the 'new form of capitalism' claim to be people-centred; making them so will be the crucial challenge.
Prostitutes and Their Rescuers
Few sociological subjects excite so much passion - and fantasies - as prostitution. Relying on a thirty year-long study of the French case, Lilian Mathieu offers an objective and comprehensive account of prostitution realities, first by analyzing the sex market as a social world with its own rules, hierarchies, and vulnerabilities, but also by stressing how prostitutes' practice and living conditions are framed and shaped by moral campaigns, public controversies, and state policies. By doing so, the book offers a new understanding of how the "deviant" and "normal" worlds interact and transform sexual norms. * Prostitutes and Their Rescuers. Sociological dynamics and public controversies in French prostitution is now available in paperback for individual customers. *
New regionalism tendencies and the impact on world trade
Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject Economics - International Economic Relations, grade: 1,3, language: English, abstract: Contents 1 Introduction 2 Multilateralism vs. Regionalism 2.1 Regional Trade Agreements - Types and Development 2.2 GATT Regulations 3 New Regionalism - Impact on World Trade 3.1 Positive vs. Negative Effects 3.2 Winners and Losers 3.3 NAFTA effects on the Mexican and the World economy 4 Conclusion 5 Bibliography In 2009 German exports totaled 816 billion Euros in value. (EU Observer, 2010).During the 20th century cross-border trade has become one of the defining parameters for many economies and their enterprises in order to achieve competitive advantages. In most countries international trade represents a significant share of the gross domestic product (see figure 1, p.5). Free trade policies have set the base for these global economic integration tendencies.This essay examines the desirability of regional economic integration in comparison to the multilateral trade approach promoted by the World Trade Organization (WTO). In specific it discusses the question whether regionalism encourages or discourages trends towards free trade on a global basis.
Global Mobility and the Management of Expatriates
With approximately 50 million people across the globe considered expatriates (persons living and working abroad for a limited time), global mobility is an important issue for individuals, organisations, and national governments, and a major research stream in universities and business schools. Written by a team of internationally renowned scholars from around the world, this volume summarises what is known about the management of global mobility and sets an agenda for future research. It also offers a comprehensive overview of the practical implications for organisations that manage expatriates, and individuals who are currently or aspiring expatriates. Providing an accessible and globally relevant introduction to the subject of expatriation and global mobility, this book will appeal to postgraduate, MBA, and EMBA students studying global mobility or international human resource management. It will also be of interest to practitioners, such as human resource managers and global mobility managers, who would like to gain a better understanding of the expatriation process.
Innovating for the Middle of the Pyramid in Emerging Countries
The transformation of emerging markets in recent decades has generated a new, growing, and very large middle class market, also known as the middle of the pyramid. This market segment, which is middle by the standards of emerging markets yet low by the standards of advanced economies, is extremely attractive for firms, but still understood and underserved. This volume presents detailed analyses of exemplary firms that have innovated products, services, and business models to fulfil the needs and desires of these new middle classes. It provides useful insights for managers, consultants, researchers, and students interested in emerging economies, and actionable lessons on how to innovate for a new and expanding market segment.
Innovation Under the Radar
Investigating the nature, drivers and sources of innovation in Africa, this book examines the channels for effective diffusion of innovation in and to Africa under institutional, resource and affordability constraints. Fu draws on almost a decade of research on innovation in Africa to explore these issues and unpack the process, combining a rigorous statistical analysis of a purposely designed multi-wave, multi-country survey with in-depth studies of representative cases. Building on this research, Fu argues that African firms are innovative but unsupported. Those 'under-the-radar' innovations that widely exist in Africa as a result of the constraints are not sufficient to enable Africa to leapfrog the innovation gap in the era of the fourth Industrial Revolution. This is the first comprehensive analysis of the creation and diffusion of innovation in low income countries. It also provides the first survey-based analysis of innovation in the informal economy.
Public-private partnerships
Bachelor Thesis from the year 2023 in the subject Economics - International Economic Relations, grade: 1,0, Vienna University of Economics and Business (Entrepreneurship & Innovation), language: English, abstract: Water is a vital element for human life and its wellbeing. And still, millions of people living in developing countries lack access to quality water services. Governments of those countries simply do not have enough financial resources to build up or improve water infrastructure, but it is their responsibility to ensure that water also reaches the poorest. Private companies, on the other hand, are able to provide financial resources, capacities and know-how to design, build, operate and finance water utilities. This leads to the question if public-private partnerships (PPPs) would be an innovative solution for water privatization in developing countries? This thesis analyses the main benefits and risks of a PPP in the water sector in developing countries. In addition, the process of the water concession of Metro Manila, Philippines represents an interesting study case to discuss further the advantages and risk factors that were described in the literature. The conducted interview contributes to the research by gaining insights about up-todate information such as current water PPP projects.
Handbook of Research on Cross-culture Business and Management
As organizations and businesses continue to expand in the cross-border and multicultural markets, culture needs to be taken into consideration. At present, culture introduces significant changes in the core assumptions of business practices and skill expectations. Gaining cross-cultural compatibility is now a serious concern for businesses and organizations. Appreciating the overall view of cross-cultural business environment, 'Handbook of Research on Cross-culture Business and Management' is a significant attempt to contribute a piece of knowledge on different aspects of cross-cultural business and management, facilitating practitioners and academicians to explore different cross-cultural business practices and develop competencies. This book will be a unique source for cross-cultural business and management practices, helping people of both industry and academia to understand the cross-cultural business environment and improve management practices.
Mission Investing
This thesis examines the concept of mission investing (MI) and thus the role the mission of nonprofit organizations (NPO) plays when fungible financial assets are invested. In contrast to the traditional separation of programming and investment policies, MI stands for the explicit inclusion of the organization's mission into financial decisionmaking. Although initially developed in the context of grantmaking foundations, the concept of MI can be applied to any NPO with fungible assets. NPO as mission-driven organizations differ substantially from regular "for-profit" companies in the way they evaluate organizational performance. Therefore, questions regarding the assessment of desirability and the evaluation of investment opportunities arise. This thesis consists of four articles which all answer a different sub-question regarding the concept and logic of MI and thus adds to a more profound understanding of nonprofit investment management and complements existing theoretical analyses with empirical findings on value-based portfolio selection. In their exploratory approach, these four essays contribute to a holistic understanding of how investment decisions within a mission-oriented organization should be planned and evaluated - independent of their social or financial nature. In applying a logic framework approach, it is shown that the strict separation of social (such as grants) and financial investments within NPO leads to a misallocation of scarce resources. Only by judging both types of investments based on their combined ultimate mission-related impact, an optimal allocation of the initial inputs can be achieved. Thanks to the linkage of both, social and financial investments, the evaluation of investments within NPO is not about either financial return or impact only, but everything in between (i.e., hybrid investments, such as venture philanthropy or impact investments). Further, this thesis also bridges linguistic gaps between nonprofit research and finance
Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership. TTIP's role in terms of politics, security, and defense
Seminar paper from the year 2023 in the subject Economics - International Economic Relations, grade: 1,3, University of Applied Management, course: Global Economics, language: English, abstract: What positive impact does TTIP have on policy, defense, and security? Observing the humanitarian crisis in Venezuela, the political instabilities in African nations such as Syria, Iraq, and Libya, the war in Yemen, and the terrorism in Afghanistan caused by the Taliban shows that the world is currently facing security challenges. Above all, the Ukraine war, which began with Russia's invasion on February 24, the crisis in North Korea, and the confrontation over the Taiwan issue are of particular concern. In addition, there are other political uncertainties. According to the Council on Foreign Relations, 70.8 million people are displaced due to the war. This migration crisis is an issue that the EU and the US, especially, have to deal with. Furthermore, the global Covid-19 pandemic has been on the agenda since 2020. Accordingly, both military and health risks exist. This chapter focuses on the transatlantic trade and investment partnership "TTIP" and its impact on security. The TTIP negotiations between the EU and the USA reached a standstill at the end of 2016. Despite the possibility that the treaty would enable the two powerful economic nations to develop further and strengthen their ties. Furthermore, the agreement aimed to create up to 13 million new jobs. Nevertheless, the TTIP negotiations are gaining traction due to global circumstances. As already explained, many skeptics, such as charities, environmentalists, and NGOs, for instance, strongly criticize the agreement. There have also been some large-scale demonstrations in European countries. Nevertheless, TTIP also has benefits, especially concerning the economy.
Reimagining Philanthropy in the Global South
While there have always been high levels of philanthropic giving in the Global South, the urgency and unexpectedness of COVID-19 transformed the parameters within which philanthropy operates. 'Reimagining Philanthropy in the Global South' examines how newer models of philanthropy are tackling development challenges, including poverty, inequality and access to healthcare and education, and questions how organisations are coping with structural changes in donor-driven philanthropy; how changes in traditional grant making are impacting the imperatives of recipient organisations; and how indigenous philanthropy is making a difference. The chapters provide frank assessments of the priorities, challenges and opportunities of emerging market philanthropy, and the lessons learned from the pandemic. The authors highlight the deeper issues at play, as well as offering ideas and positive examples of how diverse stakeholders are coming together to solve social challenges in creative and practical ways. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
Capital Markets Union and Beyond
Experts from economics, finance, law, policy, and banking discuss the design and implementation of a future capital market union in Europe. The plan for further development of Europe's economic and monetary union foresees the creation of a capital market union (CMU)--a single market for capital in the entire Eurozone. The need for citizens and firms of all European countries to have access to funding, together with the pressure to improve the efficiency and risk-sharing opportunities of the financial system in general, put the CMU among the top priorities on the Eurozone's agenda. In this volume, leading academics in economics, finance, and law, along with policy makers and practitioners, discuss the design and implementation of a future CMU. Contributors describe the key design challenges of the CMU; specific opportunities and obstacles for reaching the CMU's goals of increasing the economic well-being of households and the profitability and viability of firms; the role that markets--from the latest fintech developments to traditional equity markets--can play in the future success of CMU; and the institutional framework needed for CMU in the aftermath of the global recession.

Circular Economies in an Unequal World
This landmark first anthropological open access volume on the topic of 'circular economies' brings together a range of international scholars with regional specialisations in Europe, Africa, Asia, and South America to examine the concept's global implications. Aspirations towards circular economies have become increasingly prominent around the world, yet until now, social anthropology has largely neglected the potentially deep social impacts of this concept, focusing instead on metrics of waste, despite its obvious implications through every level of the economy and society." Please change this to: "Aspirations towards a circular economy have become increasingly prominent around the world, yet until now, social anthropology has largely neglected the potentially deep social impacts of this concept, despite its obvious implications through every level of the economy and society. This volume covers a diverse array of international actors, including waste-pickers, traders and policymakers, and the global movement of materials like metals, plastic and textiles. Through ethnographic and qualitative case studies, it exposes many of the tensions that exist between state and corporate ideals of the circular economy, and the vernacular practices and philosophies that exist around the world. Contributors examine the frictions that emerge as these concepts and materials travel across different geographic contexts, and ask - what can an anthropological analysis contribute to a concept that is increasingly reshaping economies and restructuring global flows of virgin commodities, recyclables, and waste?The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

The Political Logic of the Us-China Trade War
This is the first comprehensive study by the world's leading scholars about the political logic of the U.S.-China trade war that started during the Trump administration. The book is divided into three parts. The first part looks at changed leadership styles of the two countries in the last few years. It also examines the liberal international order since World War II in which the trade war emerged. It then explores the theoretical perspectives from both the United States and China that are related to the trade war. The second part is about the domestic factors that impacted on the trade war from China's perspective. These factors include China's institutional adaptation of the new international environment, the radicalization of the Chinese political discourse, and Big Power Diplomacy. The third part explores the U.S. domestic factors that impacted the trade war, such as the Trump administration's different China policy in general, the role played by the U.S. Congress, business lobby, and the transition of foreign policy from a Wilsonian World Order to Jacksonian Nationalism.
At the Margins of the Global Market
Contemporary scholars debate the factors driving despotic labour conditions across the world economy. Some emphasize the dominance of global market imperatives and others highlight the market's reliance upon extra-economic coercion and state violence. At the Margins of the Global Market engages in this debate through a comparative and world-historical analysis of the labour regimes of three global commodity-producing subregions of rural Colombia: the coffee region of Viejo Caldas, the banana region of Urab獺, and the coca/cocaine region of the Cagu獺n. By drawing upon insights from labour regimes, global commodity chains, and world historical sociology, this book offers a novel understanding of the broad range of factors - local, national, global, and interregional - that shape labour conditions on the ground in Colombia. In doing so, it offers a critical new framework for analysing labour and development dynamics that exist at the margins of the global market.
Cultural Spaces in International Business
Culture studies in international business are passing through difficult times of scrutiny and critique. This is due to the fact that the paradigms, approaches, and methods used so far to study culture have been limited in their scope. For several decades now, approaches that consider national cultures and geo-ethnic origins of interacting individuals have dominated management literature.This book distinguishes itself from other books on Culture in International Business (CIB) studies in two important ways. First, it illustrates how Mary Douglas's Cultural Theory framework (referred to commonly as DCF) can be used to explore different aspects of international business. This sets the stage for future scholars to consider DCF as an alternative tool of cultural sense-making as opposed to limiting themselves to categorical frameworks grounded in static notions of national and/or corporate culture. The second unique feature is that it focuses on the complexities of the applied side of culture (i.e., it takes a culture-in-practice perspective), while simultaneously emphasizing the dynamicity and diversity of culture. The book concludes by offering suggestions for the future of CIB studies. This domain, it predicts, may witness significant changes in the way culture is seen as influencing workplace relations. It also identifies other areas on which CIB scholars may need to focus attention in the future: culture in an increasingly digitalized world, culture and the organization as a system, and culture and the intelligent/knowledgeable organization.It will be of interest to researchers, academics, and students in the fields of cross-cultural management, international business, human resource management.

Globalization/Glocalization: Developments in Theory and Application
In the immense literature on globalization, the work of Roland Robertson stands out. In particular, his insistence that globalization manifests itself primarily as glocalization, the simultaneity of the global and the local, of homogenization and heterogenization continues to influence how a wide variety of observers understand the process, including those who contest it. In honour of Robertson's lifetime contributions, this volume brings together a set of essays that demonstrate the cogency of his approach, point out directions in which it can be further developed, and illustrate the insight it can provide in topics as varied as religion, football, wine, morality, and UFOs. Contributors include: Peter Beyer, John Boli, Didem Buhari Gulmez, Rebecca Catto, Richard Giulianotti, Ulf Hannerz, David Inglis, Paul James, Habibul Haque Khondker, Anne Sophie Krossa, Frank Lechner, Kristian Naglo, John H. Simpson, Manfred B. Steger, and George M. Thomas.
