Abstract:

International marketing studies have extensively examined the antecedents of firms' marketing standardization/ adaptation decisions. However, it is unclear whether such decisions, once planned, codetermine the choice between buying and building foreign subsidiaries. Analyzing a sample of 150 foreign entries by Dutch firms, the authors find that the level of marketing adaptation planned for a wholly owned subsidiary is positively related to the likelihood that the subsidiary will be established through an acquisition rather than through a greenfield investment. Moreover, the authors find subst

Abstract:

This study extends previous research by exploring perceptions of healthiness in the international food marketplace. To this end, it aims to fill an important gap by shedding light on the role of country of origin in shaping perceptions of healthiness. The authors provide evidence that domestic and foreign food products elicit different perceptions of healthiness. Consumers choose domestic products because they perceive them as healthier and more natural. The effect holds across different samples and product categories (apples, tomatoes, bread, and yogurt). However, this healthiness bias vanish

Aquest treball de tesi doctoral analitza la cinematografia del realitzador nord-americà Jim Jarmusch des de la perspectiva de les teories postmodernes. A través de diferents paràmetres que examinen la presència d'elements tant estètics com ideològics propis de la postmodernitat en la seva filmografia, aquest treball planteja la postmodernitat més com un marc de producció i recepció que com un corrent cultural lliurement assumit.

Although historians have done in-‐depth researched on Black police in the South, before the Civil War and during Reconstruction, they seldom assess black policemen’s role in New Orleans between the Battle of Liberty Place and 1913.

This thesis is about African Americans in Memphis working within the constraints of Jim Crow in order to improve materially their lives. Historians have emphasised how African Americans were shut out of public life during the early decades of Jim Crow. The imposition of racial segregation, and the rise of racialised violence, undoubtedly constrained the lives of black southerners. Yet this period was also defined by structural changes that created new opportunities. An economic shift created new, wage-based jobs. These jobs enabled some African Americans to escape exploitative employment as sh

Abstract:

This dissertation aims at the articulation ofthe shaman-poet in the poetic tradition. It presents American poet Jim Morrison as the shaman artist whose life and poetry are analyzed as belonging to the tradition ofpoets Plato called possessed byfuror poeiicus. This tradition, which is to find its prime in the writings ofthe Romantic poets, states that poetry is a secret language, based on feeling and imagination, that speaks to the heart of men about the sacred and universal, i. e., natural, quality of the human soul. The shaman-poet, thus, belongs to a tradition that goes back thousands ofyear

Abstract:

This thesis investigates the similarities in the study of time and space in literature and science during the modern period. Specifically, it focuses on the portrayal of time and space within Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1897) and Joseph Conrad’s Lord Jim (1899-1900), and compares the ideas presented with those later scientifically formulated by Albert Einstein in his special and general theories of relativity (1905-1915). Although both novels precede Einstein’s theories, they reveal advanced complex ideas of time and space very similar to those later argued by the iconic physicist. These ideas f

Jim Bakker's religious ideas had their roots in an increasingly powerful anti-New Deal coalition that was led by the conservative business community. Positive thinking and the prosperity gospel reinforced their beliefs in unfettered markets and their opposition to ac
