Bosire, John Kennedy. "A Client-Vendor Relationship Perspective of Cultural Differences on Cross-Border Information Technology Outsourcing." ScholarWorks, 2015. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/1595.
Full textAbstract:
Cross-border information technology (IT) outsourcing continues to rise due to the demand for business process outsourcing. Issues such as miscommunication and management problems have emerged because of cross-cultural disparities between clients and vendors across national borders. The theoretical framework of this study was based on the organizational culture model studies of Meek, Spradley, Smith, and Draft for examining and understanding complex organizational practices. The purpose of this mixed-methods explanatory sequential case study was to qualitatively identify and quantitatively determine the management approaches that are effective in managing cross-cultural differences and the constitution of the elements of global adjustment, motivation, mindset, and communication patterns involving outsourcing business leaders in the United States. Ten IT leaders participated in-depth face-to-face interviews, while 120 IT outsourced service providers from the United Kingdom, Canada, Singapore, and India completed the survey. Pearson's correlation analysis was performed on quantitative survey data. Qualitative data from interviews were organized, coded, and the results generated 6 themes. The themes included no management issues in the current processes, a lack of formal management approaches to resolve cross-cultural issues, an intent to provide a strong management partnership platform, and a positive relationship between approaches. Quantitative results showed that formal management approaches positively correlated with global adjustment, motivation, mindset, and communication pattern. Results could be socially significant to IT business leaders, as these results will equip them with knowledge of effective practices and management approaches to address cultural diversity issues, programs, and policies in the industry.

"Evaluation and Improvement of an Industrial Retailer’s Level of Marketing Channel Integration : A Cross-Border Case Study from the Maintenance, Repair and Operations Sector Taking the Perspective of the Physical Store." Thesis, Högskolan i Halmstad, Akademin för ekonomi, teknik och naturvetenskap, 2018. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hh:diva-37154.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis aims to answer the research question of how an industrial retailer’s level of channel integration can be evaluated and improved. A conceptual model is developed and applied in a case study context of the shop channel of a large international industrial distributor of maintenance, repair and operations goods. Marketing channel integration is proven to improve customer satisfaction, customer loyalty and customer expenditure - despite these benefits, there does not exist any evaluation method that helps researchers or practitioners determine the level of channel integration of an industrial retail channel. The case study follows a mixed method approach and uses qualitative data from in-depth interviews with 11 managers and 24 employees, as well as quantitative data from a management survey with 26 respondents. Using the conceptual model the shop channel of the German parent company was rated at a multi-channel level of integration and the Dutch shop channel at a multiple channel level of integration. Any improvement to the level of channel integration of an industrial retail channel depends on the understanding of and commitment to the integrated channel strategy by the shop management.

Full textAbstract:
During recent years the sharing economy has had an increased impact on the modern business climate, and the level of engagement among researchers has increased. The sharing economy is changing the way individuals perceive business and challenges traditional business models. Sharing economy firms are implementing innovative business approaches to face the dynamic business climate. Its peer-to-peer sharing philosophy is fighting against the increasing hyper-consumption we are facing. Previous scholars have discussed how traditional firms can gain market shares and internationalize through M&As and strategic partnerships. However, the research on how M&As and partnerships can be implemented among sharing economy firms is minimal. Also, the empirical studies regarding this field are inadequate. Accordingly, examining this research gap in practice and gaining a deeper understanding of the subject is highly relevant. This thesis aims to shed light on the motives behind sharing economy firms internationalizing, mainly through mergers and acquisitions or strategic partnerships, involving at least one sharing platform in the process. To accomplish the intentions of this study, a qualitative research approach has been conducted, with a diverse group of respondents from different parts of the world and operating in various areas within the sharing economy. Moreover, the empirical data has been collected through conducting findings from four semi-structured interviews. The outcome of this research implies that the motives for sharing economy firms to internationalize using M&As or strategic partnerships are beneficial regarding the sharing economy characteristics. For instance, the paper highlights how sharing economy firms have a comfortable path internationalizing into foreign markets but can struggle to gain platform user activity in the early stages in new markets. Therefore, are M&As and strategic partnerships strategic tools for sharing economy firms to acquire an already existing customer base or have strategic alliances that can ease cultural barriers and such when entering foreign markets.

Full textAbstract:
Approved for public release; distribution is unlimitedCross-border ground raids by state-backed security forces can have a detrimental impact on guerrillas ability to wage war. External support in neighboring countries can be an important source of strength to insurgent forces. However, cross-border raids and their security gains come at a political cost. This thesis examines the conflicts in Malaya (19461950), Nicaragua (19811990), Algeria (19541962), Namibia (19601989), South Vietnam (19601975), and Afghanistan (19781992) to identify operational and strategic-level considerations in planning cross-border operations to reduce the political costs of such operations. The study examines the relationship between security gains and political costs, including subsets of factors intrinsic to both variables. The research presents lessons applicable to the contemporary counterterrorism environment and suggests how military and political counterinsurgents can combine lines of effort in conducting cross-border operations against external insurgent sanctuaries.

Best, Ulrich. "German-Polish cross-border co-operation and the politics of transgression." Thesis, University of Plymouth, 2004. http://hdl.handle.net/10026.1/571.
Full textAbstract:
The thesis looks at German-Polish relations and the changing practices of cross-border cooperation in the 1990s. It reviews theories of border studies and argues that, in spite of all change, border studies is part of a structure of power. The author analyses the concepts of transgression and regression in order to describe the current constitution of states, borders and practice. The example of German-Polish relations shows how this constitution has changed throughout history, from a clear delineation of the Other to increasingly European discourse, especially after 1989. Cross-border co-operation, the author argues, has become integrated into the structures of power, has become a rule. Using discourse analysis, the author presents the change of German and Polish discourse on the Other. Traditional structures and historical stereotypes are combined with a new structure in the discourse, which stresses co-operation and encounter. Actors in crossborder co-operation are in a changed situation: their practices used to be defined as acting against state structures, but have now undergone an incorporation in these political and symbolic structures. The actors negotiate new, contradictory spaces for their actions: supported by the state but partly uncomfortable with it, drawing on the new hegemonic discourse of co-operation and trying to escape from it. Their practices, so the final argument, can also inform the practices of border studies.

Full textAbstract:
The electricity high voltage transmission networks are interconnected over most of the continents but this is not the case of the power system organizations. Indeed, as described with the concept of integrated power system, the organization over these large networks is divided by several kinds of internal borders. In this context, the research object, the cross-border coordination of operation, is a set of coordination arrangements over internal borders between differing regulatory, technical and market designs. These arrangements can include for instance the famous market couplings, some cost-sharing agreements or common security assessments among several other solutions. The existence and improvement of the cross-border coordination of operation can be beneficial to the whole integrated power system. This statement is verified in the European case as in 2012 where several regional and continental coordination arrangements are successfully implemented.In order to benefit from the European experience and contribute to support the European improvement process, this thesis investigates the cross-border coordination of operation in the European case with four angles of study. First, a modular framework is built to describe the existing solutions and the implementation choices from a regulatory point of view. Second, the thesis analyses the tools available to assess the impact of an evolution of the cross-border coordination. Third, the role of the European Union (EU) is described as critical both for the existing arrangements and to support the improvement process. The last angle of study focuses on two dimensions of the economic modes of coordination between transmission system operators.

Full textAbstract:
As the time goes by, one former Czech-Slovak territory has separated, forming two independent republics and members of European union. Division of common territory by a border, however, cannot affect cultural and linguistic proximity, which can be clearly identified in cross-border regions. The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate the cooperation amongst six regions located near mutual border during 2007-2013 period. By the means of publicly available content, an analysis of allocation of financial resources from ERDF and national budgets is executed. The qualitative evaluation of cross-border cooperation projects is delivered by the proposal of matrix for territorial impact assessment. According to percentual fulfillment of given goals, impact on barrier effect reduction and selected projects analysis, the overall added value of cross-border cooperation between Czech and Slovak republic during 2007-2013 period is specified. Main findings are then a result of combination of qualitative analysis and quantitative indicators for the researched period.

The aim of this thesis is to examine the effectiveness of cross-border cooperation as a
tool for local/regional development of underdeveloped border regions, and whether it
is appropriate for Turkey&rsquos border regions. The basic statement is that the trajectories of intense economic relations do not always let cross-border co-operation
it can develop through supportive policies fed by the active participation of cross-border actors. The scope of this study is, - to examine changing theoretical ideas about borders and border relations, - to review some of the important changes affecting the cross-border cooperations
and the implications of transformations in the global mechanisms through new network relations determined within the multi-level governance approach, - to develop a framework for analysing the success of cross-border cooperation, - to discuss the cross-border co-operation trajectories through the world experiences and Turkish case, - to search for a new model This study will focus on a set of theoretical tools involving independent dimensions such as governance, economy and social structure. Along these theoretical perspectives, the importance of a cross-border co-operation for local/regional development will be emphasised through the case of Hopa-Batumi border region. Handling of this case will be an attempt to put forward the opportunities and barriers of a cross-border co-operation for Turkish border regions. This study is developed by the examination of theoretical literature, generating comparative analysis of world experiences with reference to available literature, and Turkish border regions executed with the newspapers archives and legal arrangements, and case study through in-depth interviews.

Over the past several decades, technological advances, the spread of free-market ideology and the shifting of the economic center of the world have resulted in an incredible transformation of the world into a globalized, interdependent place. The term "globalization" has become an essential keyword associated with business in the modern world, creating great opportunities for U.S. firms to seek future growth potential in the global arena, especially in emerging markets that are undergoing rapid economic development. Although the real estate industry has achieved some level of globalization in general, the development sector is one area of a broad real estate industry that has yet to show significant strides in global expansion activities. The purpose of this study is to examine the current business landscape of U.S. real estate developers' globalization efforts and to create a qualitative analysis of why globalization works / does not work for real estate developers based in the U.S. The ultimate question the study asks and answers is what are the key strategies that U.S.-based real estate developers should use to develop real estate property in emerging markets (Brazil, in particular)? Brazil was extensively investigated as the topic of this research. The research discovered some development risks in Brazil associated with the high levels of bureaucracy, tenants' perception of the product and lack of market intermediaries. A number of American real estate development firms have successfully overcome these hurdles by forming strategic alliances with local partners and adequately responding to cultural and administrative distances between Brazil and the U.S.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract A predominant academic question is how and why the development paths of municipalities and regions take certain forms. In recent decades, geographers and economists in particular have investigated the dynamics of how local institutional conditions and their local mobilisation can affect development outcomes and how development is determined by “structural” forces such as state- and EU-based regulations and globalisation of the economy. Thus, the notion that historical sensitiveness and context-dependency are essential factors in local and regional development and growth has gained credence. Then again, municipalities and regions are not “islands” of development but integral parts of complex socio-spatial relations and processes. From this viewpoint, border municipalities and regions are eminently interesting research contexts as they are sites where different scalar political interests, institutional structures, and development discourses are continuously manifested, materialised and contested in the daily practices of local and regional actors. Nevertheless, this thesis argues that the existing mainstream studies investigating the development paths and prospects of border regions and municipalities are, firstly, overly EU-centric and, secondly, have an overly limited perspective on the institutional environment and legacy in which local and regional actors operate. The main attention in this regard has often been on the institutional differences between states and nationalities. In order to understand the development prospects of border areas and the preconditions of transnational regionalisation, municipal planning of border areas needs to be approached not only from the perspective of EU-driven cross-border co-operation and building of “transnational” scale, but more comprehensively. Accordingly, the present research on the Finnish-Swedish border area, which is an internal border area of the EU, takes a more historically and contextually sensitive institutional approach in this regard. Investigating the structural and discursive dynamics related to the institutionalisation of cross-border co-operation as a development strategy in the context of municipal planning enables not only identification of the conflicts and intersections between state-, EU- and local/regional-level development interests and institutional structures, but also provides room for recognising the diversity of the existing interests, strategies and motivations of local and regional actors and different interest groups involved in these institutionalisation processes. This thesis suggests that the concept of policy transfer and problematisation of the dynamics of how and why certain development strategies, policies and discourses become selected, implemented and sustained at the border municipalities offers a fruitful theoretical and political framework for examining the abovementioned issues. Accordingly, the thesis studies the intertwined relationship between local agency and the mobilisation of scalar institutional structures in regional planning and policy transfer processes by applying the Cultural Political Economy approach and strategic-relational theory on institutions (see Jessop & Sum 2013) as theoretical-methodological lenses. The thesis consists of three original research articles that form a scalar and temporal continuum. The empirical research is based on interviews conducted with key municipal and regional actors (i.e. planners, politicians, project managers and entrepreneurs), historical document material reaching back to the 1930s, as well as supplementary policy documents produced at various governmental levels. Both critical discourse analysis and content analysis are used as analysis methods. As the dynamics of municipal planning are reflected primarily against the formal institutional planning system in Finland, the study focuses on the Finnish side of the border — the Finnish Tornio Valley and the Kemi-Tornio sub-region. The results underline that the institutionalisation of cross-border co-operation as a key development strategy has been a long path-dependent process in which policy transfer processes and local mobilisation have become intertwined. While the “large-scale” development follows the Finnish national development — the transition from state-led, topdown politics to a more bottom-up, region-based development model — the investigation of these policy transfer processes also shows that the border location and the mobilisation of both the “border region identity” and the EU’s cross-border co-operation policy discourse have had a marked impact on the development path. Accordingly, they have furthered the development towards cross-border regionalisation. Moreover, border municipalities are challenging the state’s authority and the subordinated municipality-state relation by invoking this development. This development, however, is regionally contested and exemplifies the power relations both between municipalities with/without state border as well as between public and private sector actors. In the end, which development strategies become dominant or discarded in a particular context depends on how different actors and interest groups mobilise their privileged positions in relation to surrounding formal and informal institutional structures, such as municipal autonomy, EU cross-border cooperation funding schemes, trust relations, regional identity, and prevailing norms and customs. This research stands as an illustrative example that it is crucial not to consider these context-specific “soft” matters as somehow secondary to “rational” economic reasoning when investigating courses of action and economic development pathsOriginal papers The original publications are not included in the electronic version of the dissertation.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the reconfiguration of the Irish border roles post the Good Friday Agreement (1998). Through the lens of cross border co-operation, it aims to capture the changing role of the border between the two jurisdictions on the island. A key concept is that borders are no longer merely linear demarcations between states: they play in sometimes ambiguous roles in societies. These roles are captured using four dimensions of borders: barrier, resource, bridge and symbol of identity. These roles are challenged by European integration, globalisation and post-modernist approaches. Locally, the Good Friday Agreement provided new impetus to transnational linkages. The thesis examines the changing context through the lens of cross border co-operation. The thesis identifies three main rationales for co-operation between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland: 1) ethno-national rationale views borders as territorial demarcation of nation-states dividing communities and they act as symbol of identity; 2) the economic rationale understands the border mainly as creating transaction costs and limiting competitiveness; 3) the peace & reconciliation rationale pursues co-operation with a view to end the caging of the ethno-national to Northern Ireland. These rationales are examined alongside the supporting institutional structures and how the discourses are reflected in policy, language and practice, combined they uncover the discourse. The research combines quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection. The analysis applies a constructivist approach analysis. The findings are that the ethno-national discourse restricts the development of cross border linkages. The barrier and symbolic dimensions remain highly significant and fundamental changes are slow and limited. The economic discourse has successfully reduced the barrier dimension in favour of the resource and bridging dimensions. The peace & reconciliation discourse has been less successful in reconfiguring the borders barrier and symbolic dimensions for its rationale.

Full textAbstract:
The diploma thesis concerns the use of funds of the European Union (European Social Fund, Cohesion Fund, European Regional Development Fund), especially in terms of the cross-border cooperation of the Slovak and the Czech Republic. The main goal is to investigate where these European funds are allocated, which areas are preferred to be supported in these countries by the financial assistance of the EU. To discover exact fields that need this kind of supply, it was essential to study basic strategic documents of both countries and urban patterns of the cross-border territory. The first chapter describes the structural and regional policy of the EU as a whole, gives examples of three main funds and their performance in the Czech and Slovak Republic. The second part deals with all the operational programs of both countries in connection with the three main objectives of the EU and previously remarked funds. It records the most serious economic problems and suggestions for solutions in both states as well. The third part is dedicated to dominant characteristics of the cross-border region, it describes The Program of Cross-Border Cooperation Slovak Republic-Czech Republic in the former period 2004 -- 2006 and particularly offers a detailed analysis of this program in current period. The last chapter gives instructions how to elaborate projects and it specifies all the steps needed to implementation of the projects. The end refers two examples of real projects put in practice in the cross-border region.

Full textAbstract:
Le terme de paradis fiscal est souvent employé dès lors qu’on aborde le thème des montages financiers utilisant une ou des sociétés offshore. Les spécialistes lui préfèrent celui de pays ou zone à fiscalité avantageuse ou privilégiée. Certaines personnes différencient deux catégories de territoires fiscalement favorables. L’expression « zone à fiscalité privilégiée » est souvent employée comme un euphémisme qui renvoie à des pays tels que la Belgique, l'Irlande, le Luxembourg, les Pays Bas, le Portugal, la Suisse, la Tunisie, Hong-Kong, la Malaisie, Singapour, notamment, alors que sont considérés comme « paradis fiscaux » Andorre, Jersey et Guernesey, Gibraltar, le Liechtenstein, Anguilla, Aruba, les Bahamas, la Barbade, les Bermudes, les îles Caïmans, Panama, etc. Il s’agit d’une classification assez vague, relative, en creux, classant séparément les zones dans lesquelles la fiscalité est relativement faible, souvent par rapport à la France ou l’Allemagne, et celles dans lesquelles elle est quasiment inexistante. Les difficultés que posent cette classification sont nombreuses et mettent en évidence l’insuffisance d’un tel raisonnement, souvent journalistique. La notion de paradis fiscal n’a qu’une valeur relative, d’où la difficulté de dégager une définition unique et universelle caractérisant ce phénomène. Il est nécessaire de recourir une définition basée sur un certain nombre de critères. Aussi, généralement, les paradis fiscaux se caractérisent par une absence ou un faible niveau d'imposition des revenus, du capital, et des transactions, ce qui constitue en général la motivation de leur utilisation. Ces avantages fiscaux ne concernent pas nécessairement l'ensemble des personnes qui y établissent leur domicile : le régime fiscal applicable peut différer pour les personnes physiques et morales, pour les résidents et les non résidents. La fiscalité de Jersey par exemple présente surtout un avantage pour des sociétés non résidentes ; Monaco est à l'inverse un paradis fiscal pour les personnes physiques, mais non pour les sociétés. On peut alors parler de pour certains de ces pays de « zones à fiscalité privilégiée ». Pour autant, la définition des zones à fiscalité privilégiée dans le droit français limite également l’usage de cette notion. Le droit français utilise donc une seule expression, dont le critère de détermination principal est mathématique. C’est une définition englobant toutes les notions généralement utilisées : paradis fiscal, centre offshore, etc.. C’est cette définition que nous retiendrons dans notre étude des zones à fiscalité privilégiée. L’optimisation fiscale, dont il est difficile de donner une véritable définition, pourrait se définir comme la mise en œuvre par un contribuable de moyens licites lui permettant de réduire son assiette d’imposition ou le poids de son impôt. C’est une stratégie financière courante et tout à fait légale. La fraude fiscale et l’évasion fiscale quant à elles, consistent, pour la première à une transgression intentionnelle de la règlementation fiscales de façon à minimiser son impôt par diverses techniques (omission volontaire de déclaration, minoration de recettes, majorations de charges, travail clandestin), et pour la seconde à déplacer tout ou partie de son patrimoine ou son activité vers un zones à fiscalité privilégiée, de façon illicite, encore une fois dans le but de se soumettre à l’impôtThe end of tax havens is often used as it addresses the issue of the financial arrangements using one or more offshore companies. Specialists prefer country or area tax advantageous or privileged. Some people distinguish two categories of tax-friendly territories. The term 'zone to privileged taxation' is often used as a euphemism referring to countries such as the Belgium, the Ireland, the Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Switzerland, Tunisia, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, inter alia, that are considered to be "tax havens" Andorra, Jersey and Guernsey, Gibraltar, the Liechtenstein, Anguilla, Aruba, the Bahamas, Barbados, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, Panama, etc. It is a classification pretty vague, relative, intaglio, separately classifying the areas where tax is relatively low, compared to the France or the Germany.The difficulties posed by this classification are numerous and have highlighted the lack of such reasoning, often journalistic. The concept of tax haven has only a relative value, hence the difficulty to identify a single, universal definition characterizing this phenomenon. It is necessary to use a definition based on a number of criteria. Also, generally, tax havens are characterized by an absence or low taxation of capital income, and transactions, which is usually the motivation of their use. These tax benefits are not necessarily all of the people who will establish their home: the income tax regime can differ for the physical and legal persons, residents and non-residents. Jersey taxation for example advantage especially for non-resident companies; In contrast, Monaco is a tax haven for people.However, the definition of areas of taxation in French law also limits the use of this concept. French law therefore uses a single expression, which the main determining criterion is mathematical. It is a definition encompassing all commonly used concepts: tax haven, offshore Center, etc. It is this definition that we will retain in our study areas in privileged taxation. Tax optimization, which it is difficult to give a real definition, could be defined as the implementation by a taxpayer of lawful means to reduce its tax base or the weight of its tax. It is a common and quite legal financial strategy. Tax fraud and tax evasion as they are, for the first intentional transgression of the tax regulations to minimize its tax by various techniques (voluntary omission of declaration, minorazation).Privileged tax areas have potential for externalities that can serve the cause of economic efficiency. The proper conduct of the business areas in privileged taxation can stimulate investment and complementary business in other countries. Thats what we gather under the expression "economic backup." Our problem will therefore be as follows: is it possible to imagine a financing package of tax optimization based partly in a privileged but taxation area whose primary objective is the realization of an investment in the service of the economy of the country of origin, and therefore outside the scope of tax evasion? In the first part, we tacherons to define the scope of the possible (first part: fixtures and their suppression), engaging first to different assemblies and types of tax structures (title I), then to the French and European instruments to combat tax evasion . In a second part, we will study the existing sanctions and will demonstrate that an Assembly whose purpose is not only tax allows to counteract part II: the main sanctions and a possible countermeasure)

Cross-border e-commerce is a new type of trade in recent years. Different from the traditional e-commerce model, its development is not region-specific but a trend that takes the world into the future. It has a vast market space and good prospects for development. In this trend, the growth of the Asia-Pacific market has received the most attention. With Taiwan’s geographical location, it is considered as a “front-line battlefield” as far as fiercely competitive cross-border e-commerce market development is concerned. Featuring the great potential of small and medium enterprises, coupled with strengths in mathematics and computers, it is necessary to seize the market opportunity of cross-border e-commerce that has unlimited development potentials. Therefore, the e-commerce background was explored in this study in order to compile and analyze the current situation of the internationally renowned cross-border e-commerce platform marketing models at present. In addition, the questionnaire survey, focus interviews and other methods were used to explore and analyze the factors and conditions of cross-border e-commerce that affect operators’ choice of platforms and explain important factors contributing to the selection of cross-border e-commerce platforms. Finally, through the discussion, analysis and results in this study, this study expects to provide a clearer reference to entrepreneurs who wish to start a business in the field of cross-border e-commerce.

Sustainable management is the highest goal pursued by every enterprise. Enterprises that specialize in OEM in the past are all seeking innovative business model after the impact of globalization, rise in salary and economic recession to expand their business. In addition, the flourish of ecommerce caused by development of digital technology and internet drives classic enterprises to apply digital technology and cross border ecommerce platforms to ensure brand position and product value and to create new business. Therefore, this study primarily explores the innovation of operating model in cross border ecommerce. Yet, due to the change in market environment and the advance in information technology, gaining competitive advantage should not become the core of the entire operating strategy. Owners should stop competing and start providing values to build their competitive advantage. Innovation in enterprise operating model has been explored from different dimensions including source of innovation, enterprise performance, enterprise transition, innovation obstacles and innovation process. This study follows related literature regarding two dimensions in innovation of enterprise operating model: 1. Core factors in enterprise operating model. 2. Innovation type in different enterprise operating model (revenue, start-up and strategic model innovations). In this case, the level of innovation in enterprise operating model will be based on the improvement of the operating model. Finally, according to the development of types of enterprise operating model by Giesen et al., (2007), this study proposes the following cross border ecommerce operating models: 1. Innovation in revenue model. 2. Innovation in start-up model. 3. Innovation in industry model. According to the interviews in this study, we suggest that the marketing of cross border ecommerce product needs to apply internet and social networking sites to be most effective. In addition, managing brand through social media can create brand image and lower marketing cost. Performing brand marketing for cross border ecommerce product on social networking site will be the best choice since it will provide the best results for the lowest cost.

The objective of the study is to investigate how the cross-border operation influenced continental-type and island-type firms’ profitability and risk. The cross-border operation is measured by the foreign sales ratio and the foreign assets ratio. The data source is the World Investment Report, from 2003 to 2008, published by United Nations. A simultaneous equation system was established to analyze the reaction relationship between the firms’ profitability and risk. The empirical results estimated by the three stage least squares method show that the foreign sales ratio yielded a positive effect on the profitability of firms while the foreign assets ratio did not have a significant effect. In the equation of risk, the foreign sales had a significant impact on firms’ risk, but the foreign assets did not. As for the results about the country type, the cross-border operation would enhance continental firms’ profitability, while effects of the foreign sales and foreign assets were not significant. Finally, both foreign sales and foreign assets did not have significant effects on either continental-type or island-type firms’ risk.

This study focuses on cross-border mergers and acquisitions (M&A) which consists of 28 samples during the period 1998 to 2013 in Taiwan. Using event study and buy and hold abnormal return (BHARs) and calendar time abnormal returns (CTARs), we examine short-term and long-term abnormal returns and analyze changes of synergies for acquiring firms. Empirical results show that acquiring firms have significant positive cumulative abnormal returns during event period but only have significantly positive one-year BHARs or CTARs following mergers. Further, Taiwan companies may borrow money and use cash as the method of payment. Higher debt ratio and lower current ratio imply negative financial synergies following merger. However, acquiring firms gain significant market synergies due to higher post-merger sales revenue. In sum, positive short-term abnormal return reflects expectation of investor on future acquiring firm performance. However, post-merger performance still depends on operating ability of each company.

Alibaba e-commerce platform performed outstandingly in November 11 every year for their online shopping profits. Thus, many Taiwan local companies carried out similar operation. We performed a case study on one local company to study both sales forecasting accuracy and selection of logistics partners for better performance and competitive advantage. Our research investigated the business operation of a cross-border e-commerce company in Taiwan on the “Alibaba” e-commerce platform. Three time series analysis methods, including moving average method, exponential smoothing method, and historical synchronic forecasting method, are employed to determine the highest sales forecast accuracy with “TMall“ sales data. And we also applied decision tree C4.5 data analysis algorithm to discuss the decision-making model of the logistics industries for physical goods delivery. Sales data of product Q were selected as the data source for they accounted for 93% of the total sales volume. Research results showed that weighted moving average method contributed the highest accuracy and was more suitable for sales forecasting. And transportation fee was not the main reason of selecting logistic partners. External factors, such as “Electronic business platform regulations” and “political and economic events”, were recognized as the main influences. For example, the 2016 "Rookie Alliance" restrictions and the "G20 Summit" rules rapidly changed the original decision-making model for the selection of logistics companies. Thus, data mining technology has been used for the study of similar issues and has achieved significant positive results. Both academic and practical contribution were recognized in this study. Further research can expand to different business domain or companies both in various industries.

According to the prior studies about M&A in Taiwan almost discuss the subjects like the choose of targets,evaluating, strategies, motivation, and procedure…etc. But there is no study to discuss the operating efficiency and profitability on thepost-cross-border M&A. We hope to analysis the change of operating efficiency and profitability of acquiring firms in Taiwan after proceeding the post-cross-border M&A to be a reference if the firms proceed the cross- border M&A. We adopted 33 acquiring firms in Taiwan during from 1987 to 1996.By the way, according to the types of M&A, we classify whole samples to be three kinds of cross-border M&A, ex: horizontal cross-border M&A, vertical cross-border M&A, conglomerate cross-border M&A, each one is including 11 sample companies. We adopted the financial statements of the sample companies and used Kolmogorov-Smirnov test (K-S test) to test whether the data is normal distribution then the results show that the samples all are normal distribution, so that we used paired-sample t test to test the change of operating efficiency and profitability of acquiring firms of cross-border M&A in Taiwan and in different kind of cross-border M&A types. For the empirical analysis are: 1. For fair and suitable, we adopt the Securities and Futures Commission''s stipulated financial ratios about operating efficiency and profitability of financial statements of the stock listed company in Taiwan to be the measured variables of this paper. 2. To test all samples on 12 financial ratios of the both aspects of operating efficiency and profitability. Whether the individual average between before and post acquisition that are significant different and discuss whether is positive or negative effect. For understanding operating efficiency and profitability are improved or declined. 3. To test behind different types of cross-border M&A, the samples on 12 financial ratios of both aspects of operating efficiency and profitability. For the empirical results, the main findings are: 1. The operating efficiency between before and post acquisition. In all samples, the result of test indicate that acquiring firms in Taiwan after cross-border M&A. The results of test are significant different between before and post acquisition, and they are declined. In horizontal cross-border M&A samples, the results of test id not significant different; in vertical cross-border M&A samples, the results of the test are significant different, and they are declined; in conglomerate cross-border M&A samples, the results of test are not significant different. 2.

In recent years, due to the more and more strict foreign trade situation, Taiwan's export companies are looking to drive new growth engines, B2B cross-border eCommerce has therefore become a new opportunity. As the world's largest B2B site, Alibaba.com International Marketplace has become a new channel through which many Taiwanese export companies expand overseas markets and seek orders. However, the lack of talent is the biggest problem those Taiwan’s Alibaba.com export companies generally face, and the difficulty of personnel training is the main reason resulting in the lack of talent. This study aimed to understand the personnel training priority needs of the Taiwan’s Alibaba.com export companies, including the types of talent, teachers, curriculum, as well as teaching methods. To achieve the foregoing objects, this study first researches through literature, summarizing the connotation of Alibaba.com operation, the main facets, and the demand factors of Alibaba.com operation training. Then combined with expert interview and content analysis, this study examines and supplements the demand factors of Alibaba.com operation that might be overlooked. Finally, this study makes use of analytic hierarchy (AHP) questionnaire design and analysis of sorting, sorting out personnel, teachers, curriculum, teaching methods needs in order of importance, drawing conclusions to use as the reference to Taiwan’s Alibaba export companies and those who interested in the personnel training industry.

The increasing proportion of total M&A activity is cross-border acquisition which has been clinched by firms in developing countries. However, the existing literature has focused little on the developing world. Our study contributes to improving the understanding of cross-border M&As in the whole developing world and detecting three types of determinants of post-acquisition operating performance: country-level differences, acquirer’s attributes, and deal-specific characteristics. We examine 710 cross-border acquisitions in the developing countries between 1995 and 2012. The result shows that cross-border acquisitions in the developing area, averagely, deteriorate acquirers’ operating performance in the short and middle-long run. Through multiple regression analyses, we find that the country-level differences appear to affect acquirer’s operating performance at first. Moreover, the characteristics of an acquirer have significant impacts on the long-term operating performance. Our results imply that the effect of national borders on the post-acquisition performance is temporary. In the long run, domestic acquisitions and cross-border acquisitions might affect acquirers in similar ways.

Among the ways of internationalization to international enterprises, cross-border acquisition is one of the fast ways to build the overseas subsidiaries. This article discusses international enterprises could have better performance through learning of internationalized experiences from cross-border acquisition activities. The cultural distance and political risk were moderating variables for further discussion to see if they have the effect of weakening or strengthening. The samples were adopted from acquirer companies from Great China (China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan), and the acquired companies were not located in this region of the completed cases of cross-border acquisition from 2000 to 2010 third quarter. Both acquirer companies and acquired companies were listed companies. First, we tested the collinearity among the variables, and the differences among the performance indicators. And then we use the muti-regression to analysis. We found that the international enterprises from these three countries present difference wealth effects in the short-term financial performance. But they all brought positive and significant for their stockholders. In the long-term, better internationalization degrees can’t not support strongly to have better operating performance. Besides, the findings also show that cultural distance can’t strengthen the relationship between internationalization degrees and operating performance of international enterprises. And there is only significant weakening effect from political risks to Return on Assets (ROA). Such as the developing countries located in the Greater China region, it could be noticed that even the international enterprises with lower internationalization degrees still tend to acquire the acquired companies located in developed countries in order to obtain their technology and know-how and result the non-significant results of variables.

Export is important for Taiwan’s economic, but the quantity of import and export trade continued to decrease in recent year. The fast growth of internet technology not only creates a great opportunity for business to develop overseas markets but reduces transaction costs. Cross border e-commerce become a popular topic in Taiwan and Mainland China. The electronic commerce industry is more and more competitive. However, many firms want into this field. At this time, how the companies use their advantages to develop electronic commerce more success? In this study, depth interview is used to discuss that question. The results of study have some conclusions: first, cross border sales will meet many problems. Second, the logistics providers integrate import / export custom declaration and freight in electronic commerce process. Third, the future of electronic commerce trend towards online to offline. Besides, the third-party payment service is an important issue. Government agencies and electronic commerce industry must work together to promote third-party payment service that can bring more business opportunities for electronic commerce industry.

YesWe use data from in-depth interviews with business lobbyists in Brussels to investigate why they choose to join lobbying coalitions. We find that lobbyists face two competing institutional incentives. First, they are confronted with incentives to ally with other European organisations, develop multilateral policy messages, and communicate messages to the Commission and the Parliament. Simultaneously, they face inducements to join narrower coalitions, develop bilateral policy messages, and direct those messages at the Council. Lobbyists’ receptivity to these incentives – and thus their choices of lobbying coalitions – differs with their age, educational background, and with the type and ownership structure of the organisations they represent. Combined, our findings contribute to the limited, mainly American literature on interest coalitions by demonstrating that lobbyists operate in complex institutional environments, and that their interpretations of and reactions to institutional complexity are shaped by individual- and organisational-level factors.

The strong growth of cross-border electronic commerce has not only stimulated the trade but also generated the huge business opportunities in logistics. Even the global electronic commerce companies recognize the market potential and get involved in the logistics operation without outsourcing. It is essential for the fourth party logistics providers to develop the blue ocean strategy in such a highly competitive industry in Taiwan. They also need to adjust the services to well adapt to the impacts and challenges caused by the innovation of cross-border electronic commerce. Thus, this study aims to verify the critical factors of developing the cross-border electronic commerce logistics and to evaluate the performance of various operation models. Further analysis on advantages and disadvantages over the operation models is also made based on the insights received from the interview with the experts in the logistics fields. This study employs the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method to determine the importance of the logistics capabilities. The three-level hierarchical structure with 4 logistics capability dimensions and 12 criteria is proposed and examined. The result indicates that “supply chain integration” is the most critical logistics capability dimension. Moreover, the four most critical criteria are “global network service support”, “delivery route and process optimization“, “information processing among electronic platforms”, “accessibility of worldwide logistics facilities”. Though the first movers have encountered many difficulties, the experts commented that the cross-border electronic commerce logistics is still a viable business.

Vietnam is a new investment region for Taiwanese enterprises after China. Many Taiwanese enterprises have gone to Vietnam to invest, and New Southbound Policy proposed by Taiwan’s government has created more opportunities for Taiwanese enterprises. As Vietnamese economy is blooming, many enterprises have begun to expand their business scale, diversify their products, and trade in goods and services across borders. As a result, enterprises in Vietnam are increasingly demanding ERP systems. Therefore, Taiwan ERP suppliers have a broad space for developing the rising market - ERP in Vietnam. This study focuses on Taiwan ERP suppliers who target to Vietnam market and Vietnamese enterprises those want to implement ERP systems. By using expert questionnaire twice and Analytic Hierarchy Process to calculate the weight and importance order of each dimensions and factors, the key to a successful cross-border operation of ERP is finally proposed for Taiwan ERP suppliers and Vietnamese enterprises. The results show that in the overall hierarchical structure, the most important dimension is the organization resource characteristics occupying the weight of 0.385. The second important dimension is consultant service characteristics with the weight of 0.350. The last important dimension is ERP system technology and supplier characteristics with the weight of 0.265. In the organization resource characteristics dimension, ranking of the importance of each factor is: understanding, support, and participation of high-level management (0.287); enterprise can provide budget and resources (0.219); enterprise, supplier, consultant can maintain good interaction (0.184); enterprise clearly defines the ERP implementation process, scope and implementation goals (0.170); educational training for project members and end users during the implementation process (0.140). In the ERP system technology and supplier characteristics dimension, ranking of the importance of each factor is: system is modular and has functional extension and flexibility in the future (0.267); system complies with the accounting standards established by Vietnam’s government (0.224); system can effectively integrate operational functions across companies, regions, and currencies (0.198); system construction cost and time (0.165); supplier can provide technical support after-sales services (0.147). In the consultant service characteristics dimension, ranking of the importance of each factor is: consultant is very familiar with the ERP system modules and operation processes (0.230); consultant with good coordination and communication skills (0.207); Consultant''s understanding of Vietnamese corporate culture (0.179); consultant has experience in the successful implementation of similar industry (0.153); consultant can establish system implementation cost-benefit metrics and analysis (0.118); consultant can assist personnel training and technology transfer (0.114). The results show that the biggest factor affecting the success of the ERP system implementation is the organization itself. Secondly, enterprise needs consultant who is experienced and able to understand Vietnamese corporate culture, which can be a bridge of communication between enterprise and supplier. Finally, the ERP system technology needs to meet the characteristic requires for the company to operate in Vietnam, which can be modularized, and have function extensibility and flexibility that can respond to the needs of enterprises to expand their business model in the future.

Full textAbstract:
Mergers and acquisitions are a key component in the toolbox of business strategies that companies employ to improve organisational performance. Empirical studies that focus on domestic mergers and acquisitions activity in developed countries are numerous, however there remains a limited amount of research into the effects of cross border mergers and acquisitions on the performance of acquiring companies, especially in emerging markets. This research examined whether cross border mergers and acquisitions concluded by acquiring companies listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange have a positive or negative impact on the operating financial and short term share price performance of the listed acquirer.
A quantitative approach was adopted for the purpose of this research. In order to analyse the impact of cross border mergers and acquisitions transactions on the share price and operating financial performance of listed acquiring firms secondary data was utilised. The research incorporated publicly available daily share trading data for shares traded on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange and financial and accounting data sourced from McGregorBFA. In addition, the sample of cross border mergers and acquisitions transactions was obtained from the MergerMarket database. Purposive sampling was applied to select an initial sample of 44 transactions. Based on the exclusion of confounding events a final sample of 29 transactions was tested. Given the small sample size, and that confounding events were determined not to have a material impact on the cross border transactions, comparative analysis was performed using the initial sample of 44 transactions. Different lenses were applied for testing financial performance by using three performance measures. These included abnormal share price returns; key financial performance ratios and industry adjusted operating cash flow return on assets. Various short-term event windows were analysed for each of these measures.
Parametric tests including t-tests for unequal variance and paired t-tests were applied in the research. Given the small sample size non-parametric testing in the form of Wilcoxon Signed Rank Sum tests was also applied. In addition, bootstrapping was applied to the cumulative average abnormal returns. This research concluded that both the short-term share price and operating financial performance of acquiring companies listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange does not improve significantly in the short-term post the cross border merger or acquisition transaction.Dissertation (MBA)--University of Pretoria, 2013.
