• Who Won the Contest for a New Property Class? Structural Transformation of Elites in the Visegrád Four Region

This paper analyses the transformation of elites in the Visegrád Four countries (namely the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia). Drawing on a process-tracing analysis, it argues that the emergence of foreign-led economies in the late 1990s was intertwined with political processes in which domestic forces linked to foreign capital were transformed into major elite segments with considerable influence. This elite segment, the comprador service sector, proved to be politically active within the states in Central and Eastern Europe and organized various mechanisms of representation within the state and beyond.

• The Curse of Institutional Security: The Erosion of German Trade Unionism**/Die Nachteile Institutioneller Stabilität: Die Erosion Der Deutschen Gewerkschaften

Among all EU member states, German unions have the widest gap between male and female trade union density rates and are least adjusted to the structural changes stemming from the rise of the service sector on the labour market. This development asks for a more subtle understanding of the role of industrial relations institutions for trade union membership. The paper addresses the phenomenon by locating the main problem areas of membership erosion, such as weak service sector membership and the ageing of membership in manufacturing trade unions. It argues that industrial relations institutions have a double effect. Industry unionism is on the one hand a key pillar for centralized bargaining and institutional stability. On the other hand, stable institutional structures might have contrib...

• Building Bridges, Windows and Cultures: Mediating Mechanisms Between Team Heterogeneity and Performance in Global Teams

Global teams involve significant investments by MNEs, and authors of work aimed at both management scholars and practicing managers have taken notice. Global teams are teams made up of people from different parts of a multinational organization working together to achieve a team-specific mandate that is global in its scope. Two characteristics differentiate global teams from other types of teams: deliberate and collateral heterogeneity on multiple dimensions, and a globally dispersed work environment. Whether deliberate or collateral, heterogeneity poses challenges to global team performance. Overcoming the challenges and reaping the benefits from heterogeneity and distance are at the center of global team effectiveness. Global mindset refers to a frame of mind of the members of global ...
