Abstract:
This thesis investigates how entrepreneurship is influenced by internal organisation in Multinational Corporations (MNCs). It provides fresh theoretical and empirical insights on MNC organisation and strategy, showing how intra-MNC knowledge networks and heterarchical communities enable corporate renewal. This thesis addresses the definition problem in the entrepreneurship field by conceptualising entrepreneurship as a perception-creation-change process. In the MNC context, this renewal process is intrinsically linked with subsidiary management aspects such as role, autonomy, relations and dev

There is mounting theoretical evidence that wellbeing has been mobilised within a personal responsibility agenda (PRA). However, there is little empirical evidence to support this. Additionally, little is understood about the role of historical/linguistic factors in this mobilisation and their influence on mainstream representations of wellbeing.

This thesis presents an analysis of advertising, encompassing both new game theoretic models of advertising, and econometric models of industry level advertising and sales. In the game theoretic analysis, three related models are developed. A duopoly industry is assumed, and, typically, the firms have four choice variables- price, advertising, the number of local markets to enter and product quality. The aim is to model firms' simultaneous use of advertising as a means of providing consumer information and as a competitive tool. The models are also used to discover under what circumstances fir

Abstract:
This thesis is about the design of contingent capital (CoCos) to induce monitoring and to therefore reduce the expected size of taxpayer funded bailouts. CoCos are debt instruments that either convert into debt or are written down when a bank approaches distress - based on a reduction in the bank's capital. The thesis begins with a moral hazard model that provides a stylised illustration of the circumstances where either shareholders or CoCo investors can be induced to monitor. It predicts that shareholders will monitor if conversion reduces their claim to zero and CoCo investors will monitor

Thus, firms are increasingly challenged to effectively manage their own patents, but not all organisations have yet developed the expertise for doing so.

The majority of empirical studies of tourism analysis use a static single equation approach to model the demand for tourism of one origin for one or more destination countries. The examination of such studies generally shows that the economic interpretation and policy implications drawn as conclusions are based on mis-specified models, invalid estimation and inference procedures, inconsistent estimates and poor forecasting performance. Static single equation models of tourism demand tend to neglect interdependencies among destinations, ignore nonstationarity, overlook dynamics and, generally,
