The founding of new occupational unions has triggered a new inter-union competition in Germany. So far this trend is limited to the transport and health sectors which have been privatized but are still highly regulated by law. Using a simple theoretical model, we can show that the fragmentation of the unions was also the result of wage policy changes in the past connected with privatization. As the monopolistic rents which public enterprises had been able to obtain came under pressure, the established trade unions had to moderate their wage demands. This made it more attractive for powerful and well-organized professional groups, such as pilots and locomotive drivers, to leave the union. Empirical tests of the income losses suffered by both groups before the breakaway confirm this hypot...

This article analyzes the competitive advantage of German renewable energy firms in Russia. Based on Porter's diamond model of competitiveness, we examine the demand for renewable energy in Russia and German firms' ability to meet this demand. While the overall demand for renewable energy in Russia is still low, the study reveals formidable opportunities in the fields of biomass, solar and wind energy. Our findings are meant to address managers in the renewable energy industry and to aid policy makers in environmental support and action.

This study examines the influence of industry and home country characteristics on domestic firm innovation investment and considers whether these relationships are more pronounced if the firm is competing in global versus multidomestic industries. Hypotheses are developed and tested using data from 625 firms in eight industries, across 31 countries. The findings generally support the hypotheses that industry structure and national context have significant direct influence on firm innovation investment. Furthermore, industry structure was found to have a more pronounced influence on firm innovation investment for global industries than for multidomestic industries.

One major change in the world of international business and finance is the growing role of private equity investments in firms in emerging markets. In little more than four years, since 2003, the money raised by international, primarily American private equity funds for investment in emerging markets went up about ten times, from $3.5 billion to $35 billion. This paper provides a multidimensional analysis and discussion on the role of private equity funds in the globalization process of firms from emerging markets. The discussion begins with development economics, focusing on financial markets development and sector specific capital, proceeds to a discussion of local comparative advantage and intangible trade costs in the process of globalization, and continues with a discussion of impe...

This paper's objective is to articulate, more precisely than has occurred in the past, the principal theory rationales underlying the Multinationality/Performance (M/P) link, by examining each claim for the negative or positive benefits of internationalization, from the lens of the theory of the firm and the multinational enterprise. A concurrent objective of this paper is to respond to critiques of MIP theory and discuss methodology and operationalization problems in empirical testing. While international expansion of a firm will not necessarily always improve performance (during the initial international expansion stage, or in cases where a firm may have over-internationalized), for the most part, over the considerable middle range of expansion, net positive benefits accrue from inter...
