This introduction to the special issue on Multinationals in the Middle East first reviews the historical growth and development of multinational enterprises (MNEs) in the territory extending from Morocco to Turkey alongside the southern and eastern shores of the Mediterranean as far east as Iran, and south to Sudan and Yemen. Then, several opportunities and challenges affecting MNEs in the region are discussed, including economic and social diversity, non-market strategies and entry-mode choices, and animosity toward MNEs. The seven papers featured in the special issue that address these topics are then discussed. 相似文献

Lebanon is a complex country of extraordinary promise; often thrust into crisis, including recent military assaults, terrorist attacks and bombings. The authors share findings from a longitudinal field-study of the evolving political and business climate of Lebanon, emphasizing a particular MNC that is thriving amidst social, ideological and political conflicts. A synthesis of primary and secondary data revealed the InterContinental Phoenicia hotel as a model institution in the face of extreme crisis. Key managerial insights that can be helpful to investors, MNCs and managers in the Middle East and other places subjected to similarly extreme conditions are shared. 相似文献

This paper considers factors affecting survival of foreign subsidiaries in the context of Japanese foreign equity ventures in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Three new institutional variables, economic distance, economic freedom distance and subsidiary density, are examined as determinants of survival while controlling for other determinants previously established in the literature. The findings support our hypotheses. We found that economic distance and economic freedom distance exhibit significant positive and negative relationships respectively with the survival of Japanese FDI in the MENA region, and moderate positive relationship between subsidiary density and subsidiary survival. 相似文献

Gender stereotypes, which are particularly harmful to women, have historically been prevalent in advertising, prompting some governments and brands to regulate conventional gender portrayals. This study examines current gender portrayals in television advertising in the Middle East, and specifically in the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), because of the increasing importance accorded to women’s empowerment in some of these countries. Building on similar studies elsewhere, we analyze the content of 111 distinct television advertisements aired over a week by a major TV channel in the region. Our analysis reveals that while depictions of certain aspects, such as role (familial/nonfamilial) and location (home/occupational setting), gently nudged traditional stereotypes by portraying women in nonfamilial roles and in occupational settings, depictions of background (female/male/children) and product type further reinforced traditional stereotypes. Based on these findings, we offer specific recommendations to marketers and advertisers in the region. 相似文献

This article will defend a very simple thesis. In a diverse globalized “flat” world with expanding economic opportunities
and risks, we will need to revisit and revise our mindsets about free enterprise, corporate governance, and leadership. That
we can change our mindsets and world view is illustrated by studies of primate behavior, and the kind of leadership necessary
in a global economy is, interestingly, exemplified by women.
This paper has benefited greatly from the earlier work of Nancy Adler at McGill University and from my colleagues, Lisa Gundry,
Margaret Posig, Lili Powell, Laurel Ofstein and Jane Carlson.

ABSTRACT This study compared responses of advertising agencies located in the Middle East and the United States to an email survey examining their approach in designing advertisements. The survey examined whether the advertising agency incorporated area-specific cultural values and advertising appeals in the execution of their advertisements. Results indicate that indeed advertising agencies do use, or at least report to use, different cultural values and advertising appeals. Advertising agencies in the Middle East tend to focus more on filial obedience, customs and traditions, loyalty to one's group, honor, and patience. In addition, agencies in the Middle East reported that they tended to portray women in a more modest fashion than their counterparts in the United States. 相似文献

Women Workers, Industrialization, Global Supply Chains and Corporate Codes of Conduct 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The restructured globalized economy has provided women with employment opportunities. Globalisation has also meant a shift
towards self-regulation of multinationals as part of the restructuring of the world economy that increases among others things,
flexible employment practices, worsening of labour conditions and lower wages for many women workers around the world. In
this context, as part of the global trend emphasising Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in the 1980s, one important development
has been the growth of voluntary Corporate Codes of Conduct to improve labour conditions. This article reviews from a feminist
interdisciplinary perspective the broad academic literature on women workers, covering the more classical debate on women
workers in the industrialization process and entering into women workers in the global supply chains and women workers and
corporate codes of conduct. The main argument is that this research on women workers is crucial to frame the issues of business
ethics and in particular CSR and Codes of Conduct in the context of women in the global political economy. When this crucial
knowledge is ignored, then the ethical policies of the companies also ignore the real situation of the women workers at the
bottom of their supply chains.
This article is based on my PhD on Nicaraguan women workers in factories (maquilas) and banana plantations and corporate codes of conduct (Prieto, 2006, unpublished). 相似文献

The topic of women and globalization raises fundamental questions on the impact of globalization on women, ethnic minorities and other socio-demographically under-represented actors in global organizations. This article seeks to integrate theories of procedural justice, psychological contracts, motivation and psychological ownership in knowledge transfer in global organizations, and the implications for women, and other under-represented actors. Our analysis concurs with current research on the need for a relativist perspective in business ethics research and one that encompasses the critical processes of exchange from a cognitive perspective. Our contribution is to show that globalization is a complex process, that has different impacts on actors, an impact that can vary widely depending on, whether the actors are in a dominant situation, or as in the case of women and ethnic minorities, in a relatively socio-demographic and geo-politically under represented situation. 相似文献

列宁的帝国主义理论是列宁全球化思想的集中表达,列宁的帝国主义理论首先是关于资本全球化的新阶段、新形式的理论,实际上他对于帝国主义五大特征内部结构的分析,就是对资本全球化历史进程中全球化特征逐渐显现及其在各个层面的展开和深化。而帝国主义是资本主义全球化发展的极限,是资本主义全球化的最高和最后的阶段,是社会主义全球化的前夜。这些思想既指导了十月革命的胜利,同样也成为列宁的全球化视野和论断的历史局限性的根源。 相似文献

The title of this paper reflects both the process and the outcome of the current undertaking. Frustrated with the current state of the Middle East but encouraged by earlier attempts at modeling complex problems, the authors participated in a panel discussion assembled to address the conflict and propose a possible road-map to peace. However, the participants of this project did not come to a single course of action that will result in peace in the Middle East but did reach a consensus agreement about a resolution that needs to be managed. This paper explores the process, the outcome and the factors that influence the decision as well as potential pitfalls. The Analytic Network Process (ANP), a well known multicriteria decision making approach, applied frequently in recent years to examine conflicts around the world, is used in this analysis. It provides a framework for synthesizing judgments on the diverse aspects of the problem represented in the structure of the decision. It pieces together these judgments in a holistic and logical way. 相似文献

After experiments with various economic systems, we appear to have conceded, to misquote Winston Churchill that “free enterprise
is the worst economic system, except all the others that have been tried.” Affirming that conclusion, I shall argue that in
today’s expanding global economy, we need to revisit our mind-sets about corporate governance and leadership to fit what will
be new kinds of free enterprise. The aim is to develop a values-based model for corporate governance in this age of globalization
that will be appropriate in a variety of challenging cultural and economic settings. I shall present an analysis of mental
models from a social constructivist perspective. I shall then develop the notion of moral imagination as one way to revisit
traditional mind-sets about values-based corporate governance and outline what I mean by systems thinking. I shall conclude
with examples for modeling corporate governance in multi-cultural settings and draw tentative conclusions about globalization.

Understanding the nature and influences of cultural differences is central to international marketing. This article investigates cultural differences in television advertising between the United States and a select group of countries in the Arab world on the cultural dimensions of contextualization, individualism/collectivism, time orientation, and human perception of nature. The results indicate that while there are many differences between the United States and the Arab world, there are also similarities. The results indicate that there are also differences between the Arab countries, and the Arab countries should not be viewed as the same in certain situations. 相似文献

主权意义上的国家货币是近代历史的产物。在19世纪,经济民族主义、国内统一市场、军事财政改革、新工业技术共同建构出现代国家货币。而金融全球化冲击着国家货币与货币主权,呈现出一个市场,一种货币的时代特点。这一特点的根源仍然在于国家货币的历史结构。但是,国家货币仍将在未来相当长的一段时期内是国际货币格局的主导形态。 相似文献
