The Relationship

Purpose Multinational enterprises (MNEs) encourage their subsidiaries to develop and transfer their unique knowledge and expertise back to the MNE as it is critical for the development of the MNE as a whole. However, what underlies the subsidiary ability to create such specialized knowledge that can be transferred to the MNE is less clear. The purpose of this paper is to examine the influence of MNE entrepreneurial strategy, subsidiary initiatives and expatriation on reverse knowledge transfers in a cross-country comparative context. Design/methodology/approach Data are gathered through surveys from 429 foreign subsidiaries operating in New Zealand and 164 subsidiaries in Brazil, and these are analyzed using variance-based structural equation modeling. Findings Subsidiary initiatives partially mediate the relationship between MNE entrepreneurial strategy and reverse knowledge transfers in case of subsidiaries operating in Brazil, but they fully mediate in case of New Zealand. Furthermore, expatriation, in case of the latter, has a negative interaction in the relationship between subsidiary initiative and reverse knowledge transfers, but, in case of the former, it has no moderating role. Overall, the results suggest that the influence of MNE entrepreneurial strategy and expatriation on reverse knowledge transfers can be explained by contingencies such as the subsidiary host economy and the heterogenous HQ–subsidiary relationships. Originality/value The paper contributes to literature by identifying some contingencies with regard to the occurrence of reverse knowledge transfers. It addresses some research calls with regard to examining reverse knowledge transfers and the role of expatriation across different empirical contexts.

And Performance

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to study the nature of the strategy formation and its impact on firm performance in relation to market development and product innovation. Design/methodology/approach – The paper is based on an empirical study of 91 Austrian SMEs which covers a time period of ten years. Strategy formation was captured by an analysis of strategic intentions and corresponding actions in two surveys carried out in 1995 and 2003. Findings – The study finds no direct association between strategy formation and performance, though, emergent strategists had less often a growth orientation. Taking into account industry dynamics, shows, contrary to our expectations, that companies which employed an emergent market development strategy achieved higher sales growth in stable than in dynamic industries. Originality/value – The question of the superiority of planned vs emergent strategies has a long debate in strategy formation literature. The authors contribute to this question by investigating the role of different information sources for the formation of market and product innovation strategies and its impact on the performance in different environments over a ten-year time period.

The article analyses the relationship between the building site of the Holy House of Loreto and the Eastern Adriatic in view of the stories about the Sanctuary’s foundation and historical documents, which show a strong presence of Schiavoni, organized from 1476 as an ethnic confraternity with their own priests, canons, and a hospital for the pilgrims. Having examined the role of bishops such as Francesco Morosini, Bishop of Poreč, and Giovanni Venieri from Recanati, Archbishop of Ragusa, the author focuses on the architects Marino di Marco Cedrino and Pietro Amorosi, documented in Loreto between 1470 and 1474 and between 1487 and 1512, respectively. Both were active as masters at the building site of the Basilica of Loreto and have been traditionally considered as originating from “Dalmatia”. However, an in-depth analysis of the sources concerning the two masters, including some newly discovered documents, have made it possible to prove different origins for both: Venetian for Cedrino and Lombard for Amorosi. Notwithstanding these results, Loreto can still be considered as an “Illyrian” building site: in fact, this sanctuary was one of the major engines of artistic contacts between the two shores of the Adriatic. These contacts concerned the transport and working of Istrian stone for the church and the apostolic palace, which involved a great number of architects, stonemasons, sculptors, and ship owners from the mid-15th until the end of the 16th century. In Rovinj, suitable supervisors and trusted stonemasons were in charge of the first selection and the first working of the stone. For the transport from Rovinj to Loreto, the architect of the Holy House, Giovanni Boccalini from Carpi (1555-1580) had a specially built ship for transporting wheat, oil, and other agricultural products of the Holy House to be sold in Istria in exchange for stone, which is a typical entrepreneurial strategy.

Qualitative studies help to understand what motivates either strategy formation mode. Thus, this study aimed to analyze the process of strategy formation and the role of the management level in the process. qualitative methodology, the case study method followed. The data collection techniques were semi-structured interviews, direct observation and document analysis. The case in point it is a beauty salon Midsize city of Florianópolis / SC. Among the main results, points out that the strategies are formed in integrated manner (deliberate and emergent), which characterizes the middle-up-down style (Nonaka, 1988), it identified yet, according to the integrative framework Hart (1992), three modes that show the formation of the integrated approach: the command, in which the strategy directed by the leader or by a small team from the top; transactional, that sometimes the manager and team members work together in shaping the strategy, driven by internal processes and in agreement; and the generic, and in this case, the strategy is driven by the action of the members of the team and the manager only supports the decision.

Norm Change

Examining the dynamics underpinning the evolution of trans norms in the Netherlands, from their emergence there in 1952 up until 2019, this article traces their development through four historical phases, each marked by notable milestones and supported by different sets of frames, actors, and norm-change mechanisms. My analysis shows that the normative profile of trans issues in the Netherlands has long been ruled by medical frames, but the last decades have also witnessed the emergence and establishment of a new set of frames rooted in human-rights discourses. By tracing the trajectory of trans norms in the Netherlands and examining the mechanisms underlying the emergence and changes of frames, this article contributes to the theoretical body of studies on norm diffusion by introducing the role of hybrid entrepreneurs, the dynamic co-assembling of medical and legal domains and the self-lead trans emancipation as a social entrepreneurial strategy.
