The Globalization of Swedish MNEs: Empirical evidence and theoretical explanations
Journal of International Business Studies, 2014Co-Authors: Jan-erik Vahlne, Inge IvarssonAbstract:We define Globalization as the geographical dispersion of multinational enterprises (MNEs)’ value chain, in combination with increased inter-regional coordination, and use detailed firm-level data to show that 12 of Sweden’s 17 largest manufacturing companies indeed are global. By developing a Globalization Process Model we theoretically argue, in contrast to much of the existing literature, that Globalization may evolve to a more general phenomenon. The Globalization Process is tortuous as MNEs have to develop dynamic capabilities which make them gradually more competitive and able to cope with varying institutional contexts. Empirical testing on Globalization of MNEs originating from other home countries is suggested.

Who gets what: the MNE, the national state and the distributional effects of Globalization
Journal of International Business Studies, 2003Co-Authors: T AgmonAbstract:Globalization is the outcome of the interface between national states and MNEs. It is a negotiated solution rather than perfect market equilibrium. Even in a global liberalized world, national states are trying to generate as much welfare for their residents as they can, while MNEs try to maximize their value. This creates a bargaining situation. A stylized game theory model is presented and discussed, in order to gain insights into the income distributional effects of the Globalization Process. Two important features of the model are: (a) that there is a need for a carefully spelt out strategy, and (b) that optimal solutions depend on an ability to identify the elements of the bargaining where the opportunity cost is low. A case study of the negotiation between the State of Israel and Intel is presented as an illustration for this general model.

Energy efficiency of engines and appliances for transport on land, water, and in air
Ambio, 2016Co-Authors: Samuele FurfariAbstract:The transport sector is fundamental for the economy but also for personal life. With a growing population and the Globalization Process, it is not surprising that the demand of transport is set to grow in the near future and certainly until 2050. This paper focuses on the huge potential of progress in the sector of technology for transport. As the principal sector for transport will remain on roads, the paper emphasizes the progress in the automotive sector. Since car manufacturers are investing massively into research and technology development to offer ever more efficient cars—not only energy efficient but also efficient in terms of safety and comfort—the car of tomorrow will be very different from the present one. The increasing role of electronics in cars will synergistically cooperate with that of so-called smart cities. The potential development of methane in the transport sector, mainly used for heavy transportation is discussed.

Globalization and Middle East: A glance to the Globalization Process
2020Co-Authors: Hassan Hajizadeh Anari, Ghasem Mojtahedi, Khalil Hajizadeh Anari, Mohammad Mahdi Ghasemtabar, Ali Yaghoobzadeh, Mohammad Ali NamroodiazarAbstract:Globalization is compressing the world and increasing this knowledge that the world is a whole. This Process challenges the government to the different and modern ways especially the governments facing many problems with the population. Globalization increases the national, tribalism and citizenship awareness so people dispute with the government to attend their rights. This action especially in the Middle East where many of the government still are trying to keep country-government model is seen. This article studies the Globalization Process and the problems of the Middle East.
