Abstract:

Abstract The process of globalization is changing the world's economic structure as economic borders between countries are being diminished in favour of the creation of a new global market. It seems though that, at least at some fields, this process lacks international thinking. Competition regulation is an example of a field in which international thinking is currently lacking. This paper focuses on the deficiencies that the lack of competition policy creates for international trade, and the obstacles to the acceptance of a competition policy. This paper also examines struct

Abstract:

The purpose of the present study is to extend past outcome-dependent models of Sport Competition Anxiety (SCA) to include attribution theory as an appraisal process of past performance outcome. It was hypothesized that unstable causal attributions for past unexpected performances would lead to uncertain expectations of future performance and subsequent SCA. Sixty-three male subjects were assessed for initial expectations of how they would perform in a cycling task, i.e., high and low, in which each subject received false feedback about his performance (success or failure).

Abstract:

Research (e.g., Strike, Gao, & Bansal, 2006) has pointed out that international firms diversifying geographically can be both socially responsible and socially irresponsible. However, the research has failed to provide a strong theoretical explanation based on a major theory. I propose to address this gap by testing two competing perspectives based on institutional theory, i.e., the institutional-transfer approach and the institutional-void approach. Based on relevant literature, I propose a contingency model predicting the different effects of geographic diversification (GD) on corporate soci
