Abstract:

<p>Bid/no-bid decisions in international construction markets are considered difficult, being characterized by its uncertainties and complexities, especially in today’s highly competitive market. Additionally, it is claimed by some authors that many companies still utilize tools and methods that are fragmented, incomplete and rudimentary based on “personal intuition” or “previous-experience-based” (Han and Diekmann 2001a; Han and Diekmann 2001b). On the other hand, other authors emphasize that most of the bid/no-bid models found in the literature ‘remained in academic circles and did not find

Abstract:

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) make the backbone of virtually all economies but most of them are only marginally engaged with global markets, particularly those from developing countries. Our ability to advise these firms is currently limited for two major reasons: on the one hand, conventional International Business literature treats the firm as a black box and does not advance in decision-making dynamics that are critical to SMEs' foreign expansion; on the other, recent SME internationalization studies have achieved important progress but seem dependent on the use of Effectuation

Abstract:

This study investigates the causes and consequences of acquisitions primarily foreign acquisitions undertaken by UK publicly listed firms. Firm- and country-specific factors are found to influence the propensity to acquire and the location of the acquired subsidiary. Indicators of a firm's organisational experience, such as firm size, profitability, and its investment history, increase the probability that an acquisition (relative to no acquisition) is undertaken. Larger and more profitable firms are also more inclined to invest abroad (rather than at home), as are firms engaged in RandD activ

Many a time, such corrupt situations can harm stakeholder interests.

It was expected that SFAS No. 52 would eliminate the incentive for multinationals to engage in various hedging activities to reduce the effect of the translation process in reported earnings.

Abstract:

In this dissertation, I developed a unified framework for the modeling, analysis, and computation of solutions to both international financial problems with intermediation as well as to global supply chains through the medium of networks. The framework that I developed can handle as many decision-makers within each country as needed (be they sources of funds, financial intermediaries, or, as in the case of global supply chains: manufacturers, retailers, and/or distributors, as well as consumers), and enables the prediction of the flows (financial and product) between tiers of the networks as w

Abstract:

The Malaysia government in its 2015-2025 education blueprint articulated the aim to develop the country into an education hub through its 659 higher education institutions (HEIs) of which 509 are privately owned. The higher education sector in Malaysia faces intense competition pressure at both international level (competing with other countries) and domestic level (HEI providers competing with each other in Malaysia) in attracting and recruiting international students. It is therefore vital for higher education providers particularly the private HEIs to identify and understand the key

Abstract:

The emergent markets have been one of the key drivers of the new globalized economy. Today, having a clear perspective on how we should leverage and allocate decision making processes throughout the value chain of an organization is more important than ever. When we look at today´s organizations, we also understand the critical role of centralization or decentralization processes as a key factor for competiveness in markets that require local adaptation. So, it becomes important to study the companies positioning and organizational strategy, regarding decision making, since it´s has a clea

Abstract:

Globalisation had a major impact on the way organisations operate. Access to information and innovative technology connote that organisational leaders need to make timely decisions while considering a range of rapidly changing variables. Leaders of global organisations need to make sense of complex information and anticipate the long-term outcomes of making different decisions. This requires highly developed cognitive skills. However, these are not the only factors influencing strategic decisions. Value systems also affect the choices organisational leaders make. Limited existing research has

Abstract:

The three essays that comprise this thesis address the behavioral factors that impact resource allocation, more specifically trade and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), around the globe. The first essay analyses the impact of language similarity on trade, measuring the effect on specific types of products. It extends earlier research on common language network externalities by measuring language similarity effect on bilateral trade from the point of view of the 10 most influential global languages. The findings provide evidence that the impact of language similarity is greater than that of lan
