Purpose By the view of attention-building activities as “tools power,” authors investigate impact subsidiary involvement in on strategic influence subsidiaries within multinational corporations (MNCs). Design/methodology/approach The study is based survey data from 110 international located Sweden. Five hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling with linear relations. Findings sh...

A highly excited Friedmann universe filled with a scalar field and radiation has been considered. On the basis of a direct solution to the quantum-mechanical problem with a well-defined time variable, it has been shown that such a universe can have features (energy density, scale factor, Hubble constant, density parameter, matter mass, equivalent number of baryons, age, dimensions of large-scal...

The normal state in the hole underdoped copper oxide superconductors has proven to be a source of mystery for decades. The measurement of a small Fermi surface by quantum oscillations on suppression of superconductivity by high applied magnetic fields, together with complementary spectroscopic measurements in the hole underdoped copper oxide superconductors, point to a nodal electron pocket fro...

This paper provides explanations for the export patterns of multinational (MNE) manufacturing subsidiaries. Drawing on the results of a large-scale mail survey undertaken in four EU countries (Ireland, Portugal, Spain and the UK), the paper tests formally the determinants of export intensity. This is an under-researched area, despite the well understood complementarities between foreign direct ...

There has been a growing interest in looking upon the MNC as a differentiated network in the sense that subsidiaries have access to different types of resources and therefore perform differently in its market-place and within the MNC. Yet, even though subsidiaries are the object of intense interests, remarkably little have been written about assessment of subsidiary performance. In short, the p...

Objective(s):  The field of nanotechnology is rapidly expanding .The development quantum dots quantum dot (QDs), show great promise for treatment and diagnosis of cancer and targeted drug delivery little data on the toxicity of QDs, especially for in vivo applications, are available. As a result, concerns exist over their toxicity for in vivo applications. Then, cytotoxic effects of cadmium sel...

Multinational corporations are considered as a differentiated network of interorganizational (HQ-subsidiary) relations. Using data from 66 of the largest North American and European multinationals it is shown that four naturally existing clusters of subsidiaries can be found on the basis of the complexity of the external environment faced by the subsidiary and its organizational resources. Cent...

This paper studies investment and employment at a subsidiary located in a non-crisis country if its parent firm also has a subsidiary in a crisis country. It finds that investment is about 18% lower in the subsidiaries of these parents relative to the sameindustry, same-country subsidiaries of multinational firms that do not have a subsidiary in a crisis country. Employment growth rate in the a...
