This paper reviews the theoretical rationale that has been advanced so far for a positive relationship between multinationality (ie international diversification) and performance. The researchers show that transaction cost/internalization theory implies no direct and general relationship between international diversification and performance. For example, it is quite possible that the assumptions made by TCI theories that an MNE's level of international diversification cannot remain suboptimal for long are too strong, and that systematic biases may cause more permanent deviations from the optimum level of international diversification. Hence managers with strong ethnocentric views may systematically under-invest abroad while excessive international diversification, on the other hand, may...

With scientific research growing increasingly multidisciplinary in nature, team playing and communication skills have become critical in the achievement of scientific breakthroughs. This study adds valuable evidence to the oft-cited "productivity puzzle" in the sciences by comparing the work styles, attitudes, and productivity of female and male scientists. The application of t-test analysis to data on scientists from the United Kingdom and the Netherlands indicates that women report relatively higher abilities in communication skills and teamwork than men. Also, both female and male scientists report difficulties in balancing work and family responsibilities, but proportionately more women than men rely on outside sources of childcare. A separate distribution analysis of academic produ...

Two serious criticisms of CSR have emerged from separate ends of the political spectrum. They are levelled at the heart of the purpose of business and what companies, particularly large companies are responsible for. From the Left, Joel Bakan, in his book and subsequent film, The Corporation, alleges that CSR is a smokescreen, enabling companies to hide their bad practices and strengthen their ability to resist regulation by government, from the Right, The Economist, building on arguments that hark back to Milton Friedman and even Adam Smith, has argued that CSR is a waste of resources, distracting companies from their core roles of producing goods and services, and making profits. These criticisms are misguided but they have intellectual foundations; as such they risk undermining much ...
