▼ Multinational corporations (MNCs) are facing challenges relating to the fast changing and dynamic 21st Century global business environment. These challenges raise critical concerns relating to the strategic role of successive Nigerian governments in creating a favourable macro-environment that enhances industry competitiveness in attracting and sustaining foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows - considering the fact that since independence in 1960, there has been a significant decline in the Nigerian manufacturing industry output and contribution to the nation’s gross domestic product (GDP). These developments underpin the motivation and rationale for this thesis, which aims to provide better understanding of the dynamic nature of macro-environmental factors influencing the levels of firm competitiveness in the Nigerian manufacturing industry. To achieve this aim, the thesis adopts a pragmatists paradigm underpinned by a mix of Questionnaire Survey involving 84 MNCs operating in the Nigerian manufacturing industry, and a sample size of 925 respondents comprising of 288 Top managers, 460 Staff, and 177 Clients, and Semi-structured interviews of 5 CEOs. The data from the questionnaires and interviews were subjected to factor analysis, multiple regression analysis and content analysis using SPSS and NVivo respectively. The hypotheses tests (H1, H1a-H1e) reveal that increased perceived threats from macro-environmental factors significantly reduces the levels of firm competitiveness in the Nigerian manufacturing industry. This is supported by the evidence that, on aggregate, respondents’ perceived levels of threats from politico-legal, economic and financial, sociocultural, technological and ecological environmental factors have a statistically significant negative effect on firms’ competitiveness in the Nigerian manufacturing industry. Using Beta values, politico-legal, economic and financial, and sociocultural factors are identified as the key inhibitors; and in contrast, ecological and technological factors are identifies as the key drivers, of the levels of firm competitiveness. More specifically, on aggregate: (1) Politico-legal factors has statistically significant negative effect, (2) Economic and financial factors has a negative effect but statistically not significant, (3) Sociocultural factors has a negative effect but statistically not significant. In contrast, both (4) Technological factors, and (5) Ecological environmental factors were statistically significant with positive effects, on the levels of firm competitiveness. In addition, the results for both ‘Top Managers’ and ‘Staff’ were statistically significant, while, that for ‘Clients’ were statistically not significant. For the content analysis, a process of pre-coding, unitisation and relationship between themes was adopted. The thematic findings reveals that there is an urgent need for Top managers in manufacturing firms to continuously sense and seize market opportunities, in order to sustain firm competitiveness and to attract increased FDI inflows…

Setting up a new business that can successfully cater to international markets is a dream of many entrepreneurs. In the search for guidelines that would help potential entrepreneurs to grow and survive in global markets, research on international new ventures has been developing extensively in the last fifteen years. Social networks and unique knowledge resources spurring from them have been recognized as essential to the development of new ventures. However, our knowledge is still fairly limited as to how international new ventures make use of their social capital on the path to success. The concept of dynamic capabilities that make network-originated resource acquisition and transformation possible has mostly been absent from the international entrepreneurship research. This study is based on the assumption that it is not the access to unique knowledge resources provided by social networks that makes new ventures competitive and market-fit. It is rather how international new ventures assimilate and leverage these resources into evolutionary fitness, or growth and survival. The two distinctive roles are fulfilled by a hierarchy of classes of dynamic capabilities. A new research framework in the international entrepreneurship field, based on dynamic capability and on social capital theories, is introduced to uncover the influence and interaction effects of classes of capabilities in assimilating and leveraging knowledge originating from firms’ social capital. This dissertation is an attempt to provide an explanation of complementary, substitutive, and joint roles that social capital and dynamic capabilities play in achieving evolutionary fitness and sustainability in international new ventures. A very distinctive pattern of structural, cognitive, and relational social capital is identified as enhancing the chances of survival of international new ventures. Accounting for differences in growth, firms achieving higher evolutionary fitness are found to benefit from the joint role of two classes of dynamic capabilities and from the simultaneous pursuit of multiple paths to success. On the other hand, firms with lower evolutionary fitness are limited by their extensive deployment of assimilative capabilities and use fewer paths to evolutionary fitness. In consequence, the study also discusses the negative impact of dynamic capabilities that is related to the diminishing returns from their deployment in the pursuit of evolutionary fitness. A multi-method and multi-stage approach that combines retrospective and real-time investigations of international new ventures from the low-tech industry was used to evaluate 3 propositions and an additional observation. The empirical analysis involved 6 in-depth longitudinal case studies, social network data, survey and electronic communication data. The findings provide strong support and a significant extension to the propositions in addition to offering theoretical and managerial implications.

▼ In the Chinese business environment, owner-managers of SMEs emphasize engaging in networking and are good at developing networks, especially personal networks (Guanxi). The primary purposes of the research were to ascertain whether there is a relationship between networking practice and business performance in the main city zones of SMEs making motorbike components in Chongqing; which types of networking are perceived to be more important and effective to improve business performance; and which types of networking are less likely to contribute to the business performance. The Chongqing motorbike industry is the predominant industry in Chongqing and is also the largest motorbike manufacturing cluster in China. The Chongqing motorbike components SMEs also produce the most motorbike components in China. Over 90 per cent of the required components can be locally supplied (Tzswj, 2004: Online). Therefore, the primary motivation for conducting this research comes from the recognition of the importance of networking practices (Guanxi) in the Chinese business environment and the realisation of the importance of the Chongqing motorbike components SMEs to the Chongqing motorbike industry. This research is to assist Chongqing motorbike components SMEs to improve business performance through appropriately engaging in networking practices. In turn, the Chongqing motorbike industry can be expected to consolidate and improve its market position in the long term. This research first discussed the related theories about networking and Guanxi. This is followed by the description of the Chongqing motorbike industry and its component industry, with specific description of the major problems associated with both industries as well as those associated with the external environment. Thereafter, the descriptive chapter is followed by the methodology used for the research and research findings and discussion. Finally, the recommendations and conclusions are followed. Findings from this research indicated that networking practices have a positive relationship with business performance of the motorbike component SMEs of the main city zones in Chongqing. In addition, each type of networking practice has a potential to facilitate business performance. In terms of the four types of formal networking: customer, supplier, competitor, and supporting networking, these were respectively realised as the first, second, third, fourth most contributive and effective type of networking. However, the respondents also considered that personal networking (Guanxi) was one of the most significant and essential networking activities that can facilitate the process of business performance. Based on the findings and the key problems of the Chongqing motorbike component industry, recommendations can be made to the SMEs on how to effectively engage in networking practices with all possible networking participants in order to obtain required resources that are essential to sustain and improve business performance of the motorbike industry of the main city zones in… Advisors/Committee Members: Soni, Sanjay (advisor).

▼ There are many reasons to believe that budgeting lies at the heart of business management. Gray et al (2001:324) states that ―budgetary planning and control is the most visible use of accounting information in the management control process. By setting standards of performance and providing feedback by means of variance reports, the accountant supplies much of the fundamental information required for overall planning and control. However, Gray et al (2001:324) point out that capital budgeting decision is limited by the intricacies of the international business environment, which is characterized by economic, social, political, and cultural diversity. Therefore, decisions of capital investments and budgetary controls are more problematic (Gray et al., 2001:14). One of the defining characteristics of the globalization of the world economy in the past two decades has been the spread of multinational corporations' activities across countries, and, as a result, significant increases in global foreign direct investment (FDI) outflow in the 1990s (from R233 billion in 1990 to R1, 379 billion in 2000). For example, the total stock of Chinese direct investment abroad nearly tripled over the 1990s (from 2.2 trillion in 1990 to 6.3 trillion in 2000) as Chinese multinational corporations generated an increasingly large share of world GDP (6.8 percent in 1994 and 8.6 percent in 2000). Multinational corporations have become an important conduit in the global allocation of investment funds. However, the business environment in international markets has been considered volatile; there is no reliable and accurate method to aid 2 multinational corporations about decisions about the international environment. Thus, multinational corporations have encountered risk and challenge. Given the development and challenge of the international environment, this study have been considered to plan over a longer time horizon, develop formal mechanisms to set aside funds for preserving existing facilities, increase automation of the process, and link capital planning decisions to statewide performance goals and strategic plans. This research draws upon existing theoretical determinants of capital budgeting and empirically tests the hypotheses across a sample of multinational corporations in China. Although the sample is from China, the results have important implications for multinational corporations based in other countries. This paper is composed of four parts. The first part briefly gives both a theoretical and practical overview of multinational capital budgeting analysis. The second part discusses the data collection techniques and the questionnaire design used in this study. The third part provides some important findings of this research. The last section offers some conclusions from this study.

▼ This thesis paper uncovers the valued aspects of considerations for developing the business network by transnational entrepreneurs while they establish their business in countries like Finland. For doing so, this study undergoes a qualitative research model for collecting, constructing, formulation and analyzing empirical data with comparison to the scientific literature review of different business network approaches. This thesis paper provides a comprehensive theoretical base of understanding through carefully selecting critical concepts on entrepreneurship, transnational entrepreneurship, and business network. The author has constructed the literature review by following fundamentals of qualitative research methods of (summarizing, categorizing and structuring) for data collection and analysis of theoretical and empirical data. This study has been constructed by carefully fragmented chapters that would lead through a continuous flow of research steps towards exploring the results. Portraying the actual scenario, the author provides details discussion on the transnational entrepreneurship and its formidable impact over the economy in countries like Finland. Moreover, for analyzing the empirical data, the author has fragmented the whole discussion on the interviews in three phases, so that, the different aspects of network considerations can be well presented, understood and analyzed. The first phase focuses on representing previous experiences, the second phase focuses on the current business establishment process, while the third phase represents the organization’s operational process. The author has considered the four fundamental aspects of the business networks while constructing the analysis on the outcomes. Which consist of the followings, business network as structure, relationship, position, and process. Hence, the outcomes would suggest a scientific guideline from the business network development perspective, for new transnational entrepreneurs in Finland. Off all, this study offers a scientifically structured discussion of the topic by formulating a solid theoretical base followed by high quality and detailed empirical datasets with valued ethical standards.

▼ It is an emerging phenomenon that the leading multinational companies are studying how to use the engagement experiences of customers and communities as the foundation of value co-creation. To achieve this, the business leaders have increasingly adopted an ecological organizational form, namely business ecosystem. Google, Amazon and Microsoft are the real world examples and pioneers in this field. However, in the academic research, it is addressed by a number of researchers that there is significant lack of empirical studies that examines the emergence and formation of business ecosystem, especially in ICT industry. In essence, this study takes Cloud as the context to develop concepts on the emergence of business ecosystem and examine the manifestation of such evolution in the emerging business field. Through extensive literature reviews and empirical interviews, the current study developed answers to the research question, “How do new business ecosystems emerge, in the context of Cloud computing?” at qualitative level. In general, it is considered in the study that business ecosystem is a type of more advanced business form emerged recently. It has the characteristics as follow: provision of value, integration with external partners, requiring multiple participants, shifting from individual to collaborative thinking, interdependence of the participants, value co-creation, co-petition, open innovation and shared fate of success or failure. From a macro level viewpoint, the emergence of business ecosystem is the result of the continuous evolution of business forms, from linear type towards a more complex networked type. At a micro level, for an ecosystem to emerge in a given industry, it involves strategic design and appropriate execution. Furthermore, a set of critical elements need to be in the right place for a business ecosystem to emerge, which including: prerequisite conditions for ecosystem to emerge, external environmental and resource, shared vision, leadership of the ecosystem, common platform, mechanisms of the ecosystem, ecosystem healthiness, and IT infrastructure. The study further suggests that the emergence of business ecosystem as a new business form is not out of luck or probability. It is a natural path that under governance of the evolution forces existing in the social-economic contexts, just as the evolution of all the living creatures in the natural environment. For this broader perspective, the emergence of ecosystem is inevitable due to the social-economic and technological driving forces.

▼ Corporate social responsibility is a concept where companies voluntarily set guidelines on how to conduct responsible business and how to meet the growing requirements of external stakeholders. Having business operations internationally in multiple regions, multinational companies are subject to more stakeholder pressure than companies that are active in only one market. Responsibilities that are expected to be considered by companies by stakeholders are usually described to be interrelated and include economic, legal, ethical, philanthropic and environmental aspects. This thesis aims to add the internal view of the company to the existing theoretical body of work that mostly consists of reactive solutions to external stakeholder pressure. To gain insight as to how the internal CSR environment differs from the existing theoretical framework, empirical data was acquired by holding semi-structured interviews to three employees that work in CSR related tasks in UPM, the case company chosen for this thesis. The interview data was then analyzed in an effort to provide an oversight into the internal views and values towards CSR within the case company. This study found out that the internal view to CSR in the case company revolves heavily around the interconnected layers of economic, environmental and social responsibilities. By conducting dialogue with various stakeholder groups that have different expectations related to CSR, the case company is able to pursue the optimal position between legal requirements, the stakeholder expectation and the possibilities of the company to meet those expectations. Furthermore, findings show that industry plays a heavy part in what CSR is conducted by a company and that the integration of CSR into corporate strategy is a fundamental part of creating a corporate culture where responsibility is not a separate entity from the business. Additionally, many CSR issues are global in nature and overcoming those requires a tremendous amount of effort from a growing network of companies and stakeholders, whose aim it should be to create requirements to responsibility that do not vary heavily between regions. By using CSR, a company can increase their advantages and reduce their challenges arising from being a multinational company. Integrating CSR into business strategy creates internal advantages. Active stakeholder interaction improves and broadens the networks the company is a part of. Also, conducting responsible business reduces the external pressure the companies are subjected to. The findings of this study could be used to show that further research in the field of CSR needs to be put into the integration of responsibility and business functions, the relationships between a company and its stakeholder groups. The latter especially from the perspective that stakeholder expectations and company possibilities are unlikely to completely match and an optimal solution can be achieved regardless. Lastly, research can be directed towards the growing amount of global issues and the…

▼ Dynamic capabilities are those capabilities that characterize the firm’s potential to systematically solve problems, formed by its propensity to sense opportunities and threats, to make timely and market-oriented decisions, and change its resource base. The purpose of this Master’s Thesis is to study dynamic capabilities in the context of exports and identify the how an exporting firm may be able to develop the capabilities to compete in dynamic market environments. The data for this study was collected by conducting a literature review of academic articles. These academic articles were empirical studies on the subjects of resources, capabilities, dynamic capabilities, routines and exporting. The discussion and analysis of the academic articles followed an induction approach. Conclusions were drawn from the analysis and discussion of a select group of peer reviewed empirical studies on the subjects of resources, capabilities and dynamic capabilities in exporting/internationalization. The findings show that the capabilities that enable dynamism in an exporting firm are a combination of the absorptive capabilities of exploration and exploitation and the export firm’s management’s entrepreneurial orientation. The export firm management’s entrepreneurial capacity, particularly the ability to sense and interpret opportunities in foreign markets and the ability to align and re-align internal resources to capitalize on those opportunities. The export firm management’s entrepreneurial capacity is essential as a guiding and supervisory capability that drives the use and development of export capabilities and facilitates the dynamism of the export firm through the creation, development and use of absorptive capabilities. The findings explain how routines are fundamental to export firms’ growth and development, and how routines enable the export firm sustain competitiveness in dynamic market environments over time. The study reveals a gap in the research of organizational routines in exporting. Based on these findings the study draws some managerial and theoretical implications and recommends extending the study by conducting an empirical investigation. Due to the significance of routines, further research into the role of routines in dynamic capabilities in the context of exporting is also recommended.

▼ The research focuses on examining how the industry-level challenges and features of Finnish fashion influence the internationalisation process of Finnish fashion firms, and do the challenges related to profiting from innovation contribute to this relationship. The author argues that the industry-level challenges have an effect on the Finnish fashion firms’ possibilities to profit from innovation. The research aims to form an understanding of the state of internationalisation of Finnish fashion firms, identify and describe the challenges, and find means to overcome them. The study has been conducted as a qualitative case study, in which the author has combined data from previous research literature with new empirical data collected from interviews of four case companies. Three of the case companies are small Finnish fashion firms at different stages of internationalisation. In addition a Swedish fashion firm which has succeeded in the international markets was interviewed for a comparison. The theoretical framework was formed by combining internationalisation discussion with profiting from innovation research, and then applied in the context of Finnish fashion industry. The findings of this study indicate that the majority of Finnish fashion firms’ challenges concerning profiting from innovation in international markets originate from the industry-level challenges and features. The industry-level challenges influence the firms’ complementary assets and capabilities that are critical in terms of capturing the value from an innovation. This in turn has in turn contributes to the relationship and escalates the effect the industry-level challenges have on the internationalisation of Finnish fashion firms by strengthening their hindering impact. The empirical examination also revealed that Finnish fashion entrepreneurs do not consider themselves as innovators or their products as innovations. This can have a significant impact on the fashion firms’ abilities to profit from their innovations. Previous research on the industry-level challenges and features of Finnish fashion is rather limited, and this study contributes to the discussion concerning the impact they have on individual firms. This study also examines the phenomenon from a new perspective by applying Teece’s (1986) seminal profiting from innovation model to the fashion industry. The results of this study can be used to enhance the internationalisation possibilities of Finnish fashion firms.
