Search phase and the openness effects in MNEs
نویسنده
چکیده
In this work we focus on the search phase that precedes the knowledge transfer process. We argue that it is important to closely analyze this phase as, the common understanding of problem developed in this phase has a significant impact on the stages that follow. In this analysis we focus on two key factors: openness and the richness of media of communication that foster the openness within Multinational Corporation (MNC) environment. Furthermore, we also try to explore the degree of knowledge transfer due to an open environment. Openness is a change that can be induced at the MNE level by the Headquarter (HQ), the effects of this change are behavioral in nature and can be observed at the subsidiary level in the type of media of communication used

MNE subsidiaries’ outsourcing and insourcing of R&D: The role of local institutions
Plain language summary: The rules for business vary not only between countries, but within countries. Subsidiaries of multinational enterprises (MNEs) thus have to consider both the national level and the local context when designing their business practices. To examine this impact, we study R&D outsourcing in four Eastern member states of the European Union, and find that local R&D outsourcing...
متن کاملThe Effects of Openness and Globalization on Inflation: An ARDL Bounds Test Approach
Abstract The purpose of this paper is to test the hypothesis first proposed by Romer (1993); suggesting that inflation is lower in more open economies. According to this hypothesis, central banks have a lower incentive to engineer surprise inflations in more-open economies because the Phillips curve is steeper. Furthermore, Comparing with other empirical studies, this paper has used the new KOF...
متن کاملFirm-specific Attributes and Mne Location Choices: Financial and Professional Service Fdi to New York and London
In this paper, we sought to extend the theory of the location determinants of MNEs by challenging one of the fundamental assumptions underlying it, namely that location advantages are absolutes whose values are identical for different MNEs. We explicitly acknowledge the relative value of location advantages for individual MNEs and search for the firm-specific attributes affecting this variation...
متن کاملHybridization of Cuckoo Search and Firefly Algorithms to Calculate the Interaction Parameters in Phase Equilibrium Modeling Problems
Liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) problems such as phase stability analysis, phase equilibrium calculations, chemical equilibrium calculations, binary interaction parameter identification of thermodynamic models and other problems of fluid characterization have been the core subject of many recent studies. This study introduces Cuckoo Search (CS), Firefly Algorithms (FA) and its variants as p...
متن کاملSearch Space Reduction for Farsi Printed Subwords Recognition by Position of the Points and Signs
In the field of the words recognition, three approaches of words isolation, the overall shape and combination of them are used. Most optical recognition methods recognize the word based on break the word into its letters and then recogniz them. This approach is faced some problems because of the letters isolation dificulties and its recognition accurcy in texts with a low image quality. Therefo...
