  • Host Country’s Intellectual Property Rights and Firm’s Equity Participation
    Review of Industrial Organization, 2008
    Co-Authors: Bong Geul Chun
    Abstract:

    There has been an important debate on whether the degree of intellectual property rights (IPR) protection in a host country affects the choice of ownership structure of a Transnational Firm (TNF) for its affiliate. It is argued that a TNF’s equity participation in its affiliate is used to exert control and to protect its assets. Firms with greater equity ownership can control better the extent of the technology spillover, and thus compensate for weaker IPR protection in the host country, than can Firms that do not have as large an equity participation in their affiliates. Using a unique data set of a newly developed country’s (South Korea) TNFs, this paper shows that there is a negative relationship between a host country’s standards of IPR protection and a TNF’s equity participation.

  • The capabilities of the Transnational Firm: accessing knowledge and leveraging inter-Firm relationships
    European Management Journal, 1999
    Co-Authors: Andrea Lipparini, Luciano Fratocchi
    Abstract:

    Abstract The nature of competition imposes a fundamental re-examination of strategies, both at the corporate and business level. Observation of a large number of Firms reveals changes aimed at creating more permeable boundaries for breaking down costs, while increasing efficiency in product innovation and manufacturing. What appears to be relevant in many of these efforts is the emergence of Transnational organisational architectures (TOA) in which the value-generating activities are distributed among different countries and actors, and then recomposed at the corporate level without losing efficiency. In this paper, we put forward the proposition that relational capability represents a distinctive competence for the Transnational Firm. The ability to access new knowledge or complementary capabilities, and to leverage inter-Firm relationships and opportunities wherever they arise emerges as a critical factor for success on a global scale.

  • Integration into \'economie-monde and regionalisation of the Central Eastern European space since 1989
    arXiv: General Economics, 2019
    Co-Authors: Natalia Zdanowska
    Abstract:

    The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, modified the relations between cities of the former communist bloc. The European and worldwide reorientation of interactions that followed raises the question of the actual state of historical relationships between Central Eastern European cities, but also with ex-USSR and ex-Yugoslavian ones. Do Central and Eastern European cities reproduce trajectories from the past in a new economic context? This paper will examine their evolution in terms of trade exchanges and air traffic connexions since 1989. They are confronted with Transnational Firm networks for the recent years. The main contribution is to show a progressive formation of several economic regions in Central and Eastern Europe as a result of integration into Braudel's economie-monde.
