What Stops the Internationalization of Emerging Market Multinational Corporation (EMNCs): Designing a Strategic Framework for Global Business

The aim of the study is to formulate strategic guidelines for organizations to achieve successful globalization. The study is mainly focused on organizations for emerging markets or underdeveloped economies that have the capacity to grow globally and capture international market share. In order to achieve the objectives of the study, a questionnaire has been adopted and data was collected from a business market. Regression analysis, Pearson correlation, and descriptive analysis have been applied to collected data. Results of the study reveal that all of the three variables Foreign Regulations (FR), Institution support (IS), and Corporate Strengths and Competencies (CSC) have a positive and significant relationship with corporate globalization. Results of the study may be used for the strategy formulations process for globalization and companies may adopt the results for strategic decision-making.

Jeffrey J. Juris (1971-2020): investigador de los movimientos sociales en red

Jeffrey J. Juris (New Jersey, 1971-Boston, 2020) fue pionero en el estudio del movimiento altermundialista, tema al que dedicó su tesis doctoral, presentada en la Universidad de Berkeley y luego publicada en su influyente libro Networking Futures: the Movements against Corporate Globalization (2008). Ademas de los Estados Unidos, llevó a cabo trabajo de campo en Cataluña y México, a partir de una etnografía transnacional y militante. El artículo repasa la trayectoria de este antropólogo, desaparecido en junio de 2020, a partir del testimonio de personas que coincidieron con él, valorando su contribución al estudio de los movimientos sociales en red.

The unilateral gift economy conjecture

I offer the conjecture that unilateral maternal provisioning constitutes a basic economic model for all with implications and a logic of its own. Market exchange is a derivative of this model, which contradicts it and creates its own area of life. The two models interact without our awareness because we have not taken unilateral gifting seriously. Renaming exploitation as the taking of unilateral gifts reveals another way to connect the dots between unwaged housework, surplus labor and ‘nature services’, and these are also connected to colonialism, corporate globalization and ecological devastation.

Food Sovereignty as an Alternative to Reduce the Serious Hunger Problem or Food Shortage Worldwide

In 1996 Via Campesina launched an initiative claiming that peoples had the right to affordable, nutritious and culturally appropriate food produced using sustainable and ecological processes, as well as the right to define their own management policies related to agriculture, water, fisheries, land, seeds and biodiversity. This initiative, which constitutes a broad framework for the enforcement of the right to food, has emerged as a response and an alternative to the neoliberal model fostering corporate globalization. Also, it is global and provides a framework to understand and transform governance. This concept -consisting of six well-defined pillars (focuses on food for people, values food providers, localizes food systems, puts control locally, develops knowledge and skills, work with nature) can help avoid food poverty, since it aims to guarantee access to healthy and sufficient nutrition for all people, especially the most vulnerable sectors, such as children, pregnant women and older adults, who hardly achieve a proper living. The World Forum on Food Sovereignty, shares objectives and actions to also help through seven areas: trade policies and local markets, knowledge and local technology, access to and control over natural resources, the exchange of territories in all sectors, response to conflicts and natural disasters, migration and production models.

Policing the City: Haptic Visuality in Grupo 7

Chapter six turns to Marcelo Piñeyro’s El Método (2005) to examine a perceived tension in contemporary societies between the depoliticization of the public sphere and the opposite call for its repoliticization. The film productively presents this tension in two ways: first, by inviting viewers to participate in depoliticizing structures of power, and then by inviting them to question their role and responsibility in those structures. On the one hand, the film uses the cinematic split-screen technique to grant viewers a godlike perspective and ability to watch different actions and events synchronically, as if through a surveillance camera. Job candidates are scrutinized from the point of view of a multinational corporation during massive anti-corporate globalization protests in Madrid, which the mass media presents in dismissive terms. On the other hand, the film’s subtle use of sound effectively disrupts the complicity of the viewer in these structures and provides possibilities for political subjectivation. Drawing on the work of Michel Chion and Mdalen Dolar, the chapter shows how the “acousmatic sound” of protest irrupts into the viewer’s given space of the visible and provides avenues for what might be called a “sonic emancipation.”

The Huawei Model

With the rise of China’s information and communications technology (ICT) sector, a number of Chinese high-tech firms are approaching transnational stages and shifting the center of gravity in global ICT markets. In the meantime, China’s digital economy has raised the debate with regard to the nature and direction of its developmental model. This book investigates Huawei Technologies—China’s most competitive high-tech company—as a microcosm of the rise of China’s corporate power and its evolving digital economy. Yun Wen first traces Huawei’s history against the backdrop of China’s ICT development and its outward expansion in global markets. Focusing on Huawei’s research and development strategies, she then delineates Huawei’s path to its cutting-edge technology and innovation leadership. Huawei’s distinct experience in the design of its ownership structure and labor practices is also examined in the book. By examining how Huawei’s growth intertwined with the trajectory of China’s ICT development and how it responded to various forces of corporate China’s globalization, this book sheds light on distinguishing features of the “Huawei model” and the geopolitical economic implications of China’s corporate globalization. It argues that the core of China’s pathbreaking model lies in local alternatives and indigenous agencies that have the ability to insist on a self-reliant, open-minded, and innovation-oriented developmental strategy.
