Full textDet beräknas att år 2025 kommer cirka 8,26 miljoner elever att gå i över 15 000 internationella skolor globalt. Denna ökade expansion av internationell skolgång kan inte separeras från en globaliseringsprocess där neoliberal politik har påverkat tillväxten på skolmarknaden. Internationell skolgång framstår som ett möjlighet för studenter och familjer som söker alternativ till nationella program, som uppfattas vara oföränderliga i en ny globaliserad ekonomi. När antalet inskrivna ökar med över tjugo procent i Amerika, Asien och Stillahavs-området, Afrika, Europa och Mellanöstern, är Internationella Baccalaureatorganisationen kanske den snabbast växande utbildningsgruppen som erbjuder internationell skolgång runt om i världen. I denna kvalitativa jämförande fallstudie utfrågades fjorton elever i IB-programmet (Internationella Baccalaureat, IBDP) vid fyra skolor om sina erfarenheter av skolvalet på den svenska gymnasieskolmarknaden. Semi-strukturerade intervjuer användes för att undersöka studenternas strategier och motivation för att välja IBDP framför nationella program. Med hjälp av metod byggd på grundad teori (grounded theory), kopplad till Bourdieus begrepp symboliskt kapital försöker studien förstå elevernas strategier vid gymnasievalet. Resultaten visade att oavsett social eller pedagogisk bakgrund delar eleverna likartad motivation och likartade strategier vid skolvalet. Ytterligare analys visade att en kollektiv föreställning om IB tillsammans med liknande ideal beträffande självidentitet och klass påverkar och legitimerar deras val. Implikationen av dessa resultat visar att valbeteenden på den svenska skolmarknaden bidrar till viss del till en social reproduktion.
Söderqvist, Björn. "School Leaders' View on Market Forces and Decentralisation : Case Studies in a Swedish municipality and an English County." Doctoral thesis, Stockholm University, Department of Education, 2007. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:su:diva-7102.
Full textThe overall aim of this study is to describe and analyse some of the consequences of market forces and decentralisation in the educational systems of Sweden and England.
Since the 1980s, many countries have restructured their educational systems and introduced decentralisation and market forces. The reasons have sometimes been the same and sometimes they have differed, but demands for better school performance and the need for economic cuttings in the public sector, including schooling, are two of the most common reasons. This study will describe the development towards market forces and decentralisation in some countries in the western world in general, and, in particular Sweden and England.
The thesis makes a general overview of research on these issues in different countries and focuses on certain key concepts. Interviews and document analyses are the principal methods used, and case studies have been conducted in seven secondary schools in one Swedish municipality, and in ten schools in an English county. Interviews were made with 20 school leaders in the Swedish municipality and 20 in the English community in order to study their opinions on market solutions like competition and choice of school, as well as decentralisation and local management of schools.
The findings indicate that the educational systems of Sweden and England differ in many aspects, even if both can be described as decentralised. While the Swedish system gives the schools a high degree of autonomy, whereby the school leaders are responsible for almost everything in the daily running of the school, the English system includes more aspects of centralism, and provides less local decision making. The findings also indicate that the school leaders in Swedish municipalities are more satisfied with both decentralisation and market forces in schooling than their English colleagues. Several plausible interpretations could be made of the interview answers from the school leaders, but it seems that the higher degree of decentralisation in the Swedish educational system is perhaps the most important factor in this case.
Finally, the findings also indicate that the school leaders see positive aspects of choice and competition in schooling, like increased quality and better efficiency, as well as negative aspects, primarily the risk of segregation due to free school choice.

This research mainly discusses the factors that would influence the Taiwan chain-store industry as it is chooses the international market entry mode. The development of the chain-store industry is deeply influenced by the United States and Japan. Because the skills and techniques in managing a chain-store could be easily imitated, the Taiwan chain-store industry is expected to experience a leaping progress. At present, the chain-store industry in Taiwan has already entered the maturity stage. Many entrepreneurs are already exploring possibilities of expanding overseas. In the initial reviewing of related literature, the researcher discovered that the chain-store industry is still at the margins in terms of the international market. Another discovery made was that the local studies made on entry modes are mostly focused on the production industry. There are but a few studies that discuss the entry mode for the chain-store industry. Thus, this research was conceptualized. The development of international market entry mode theories is quite multiple. Some theories are made from the economic perspective, while others are made from the management angle. This research uses eclectic theory as its foundation. It uses the structures of Hill and other scholars as reference. The structure of this research uses both the economic and managerial phases, and is currently believed to be a theory that could better explain the choices of entry modes. Thus, this research studies strategic variables, environmental variables, transaction variables and the effects of internationalized motives on the choice of entry mode. In terms of the statistical analysis method, the research uses logistic regression models, mainly because this method can analyze different kinds of dependent variables. The research discovered that in terms of strategic variables, multi-domestic strategies and global strategies could influence the choice of entry mode. In the aspect of environmental variables, the national risks and domestic market competition influence the choice of entry mode. In terms of transaction variables, research shows that the uniqueness and tacit of know-how would influence the choice of entry mode. In the aspect of internationalized motives, only the imports of skills and techniques seem to influence the choice of entry mode.

Business groups go international because of competition from the world. Review past studies about the international location choices, a few scholars have noticed why some business groups are willing to go to the country with long distance and high risks. Besides, the studies about the market distance are focus on the result of running business on the long distance locations. A few studies investigate why managers decide to enter the long distance locations. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the reason making business groups in Taiwan to invest the long distance market and to fill the gap between the choices of overseas markets and market distance. This study was based on data collected from China Credit Information Service top 300 business groups. The sample was tested hypotheses by using longitudinal data(2006-2012) from 101 group companies. Independent variables include industry environment, behavioral theory of the firm and managers characteristics to investigate why business groups go investing the overseas markets with high geographical distance, cultural distance or institutional distance. Moreover, this study uses diversification experience as moderating variable and finds the relationship between diversification experience and industry environments. The result indicate: (1)The environment complexity present a negative relationship with investing high geographical distance and cultural distance. (2)The environment dynamism present a negative relationship with investing high geographical distance and cultural distance. (3)The slack of business groups present a positive relationship with investing high geographical distance, cultural distance and institutional distance. (4)The key character of the business groups is family member presenting the positive relationship with investing high geographical distance, cultural distance and institutional distance. (5) Diversification experience enforces the negative relationship between environment complexity and high geographical distance, cultural distance and institutional distance market.

Environmental changes and climate anomalies have accelerated the development of green energy industry, governments around the globe have listed electric vehicle as key development item. In recent years, lithium battery explosions have frequently occurred, hence lithium battery safety has become an important technical indicator for the development of electric vehicle. At present, there is no lithium battery material and technology that can balance battery performance, lifespan and safety. In 2004, Industrial Technology Research Institute of Taiwan began to invest in STOBA technology for high-safety lithium-ion battery materials. This technology will not sacrifice the performance of lithium batteries, and can greatly improve the lifespan of lithium batteries and the number of cycles. The most important thing is to make lithium batteries not causing fire, burning or explosion due to out of control thermal heat, and solve the safety problem of lithium batteries. The technology is awarded R&D 100 distinction in 2009 and 2017, leading the world in this field. This study analyzes and explores the international market strategy and competitiveness of the high-safety lithium-ion battery material, STOBA, developed by Industrial Technology Research Institute of Taiwan. This paper employs secondary data, resource-based theory, eclectic theory, transaction costs, and international market entry strategies to conduct analysis. The research structure is divided into three aspects: vendor advantage, regional factor and transaction cost, to find out the best mode for entering China market for the company in study. This study uses qualitative semi-structured interviews as research method and the research scope covers electric vehicle-related industries in Taiwan and China, and conduct semi-structured interviews with the in-service personnel in related fields, the interviews were conducted between December of 2018 to April of 2019. The information gathered through data collection and expert interviews was classified, compared and analyzed to obtain the results of this study.

Full textSampling in the international environment needs to satisfy the same requirements as sampling in the domestic environment, but there are additional issues to consider, such as the need to balance within-country representativeness with cross-national comparability. However, most international marketing research studies fail to provide theoretical justification for their choice of sampling approach. This is because research design theory and sampling theory have not been well integrated in the context of international research. This paper seeks to fill the gap by developing a framework for determining a sampling approach in international studies. The framework is based on an assessment of the way in which sampling affects the validity of research results, and shows how different research objectives impact upon (a) the desired sampling method and (b) the desired sample characteristics. The aim is to provide researchers with operational guidance in choosing a sampling approach that is theoretically appropriate to their particular research aims.

Full textA study of key decision makers in a sample of large international companies explored the non-domestic market entry decision. A literature review revealed five broad external domains which held the potential to affect that decision. A series of statements was factor analysed to reveal ten more specific variables. An analysis of which variables discriminated between the decision to enter and not enter a new non-domestic market demonstrated that geocultural/political similarity, developed economy, attractive market, good market information and governmental attitude significantly affected the decision. The findings supported a marketing-strategy based theory of market entry.

Full textO ambiente atual vivido no seio das mais diversas indústrias caracteriza-se pela globalização, alta competitividade e exigência. Nos dias de hoje é extremamente importante a capacidade de adaptação de uma empresa e a sua eficácia ao fazê-lo. Para que uma organização faça face a estes desafios torna-se fundamental a internacionalização enquanto vantagem competitiva, como tal para que haja eficácia neste processo a tomada de decisão e a influência ao nível da gestão pode ditar o sucesso da organização. Assim sendo, o objectivo desta dissertação é explorar o processo de entrada de uma empresa em novos mercados internacionais como também o poder de influência da gestão no processo de decisão e escolha destes mesmos novos mercados. Para explorar o tema a dissertação explora o caso de estudo de uma empresa familiar Portuguesa com atividade produtiva na indústria automóvel, a MCG-Mind for Metal. O caso de estudo foi desenvolvido através de entrevistas com o diretor geral da MCG e com os diretores das áreas funcionais do sector automóvel da empresa bem como por observação direta e documentação. Concluiu-se que a influência mais forte no processo de decisão sobre novos mercados acontece na fase estratégica do processo. Isto acontece devido a uma homogeneidade na equipa de gestão onde a influência dos gestores é a escolha de opções mais confortáveis e menos arriscadas. Esta influência na decisão é principalmente por causa do factor emocional medo de explorar diferentes mercados que podem não ser tão maduros.

Full textCette thèse présente de nouveaux résultats sur différentes branches de la littérature en macro-finance, économie internationale et macro-économétrie. Les deux premiers chapitres combinent des modèles théoriques et des techniques empiriques pour approfondir l’étude de phénomènes économiques importants tels que les effets de l’incertitude liée aux politiques économiques sur les marchés financiers et la convergence entre les pays émergents et les pays avancés sur ces marchés. Le troisième chapitre, qui est le fruit d’une collaboration avec Hafedh Bouakez, contribue à la littérature sur l’identification des chocs anticipés sur la productivité future. Dans le premier chapitre, j’étudie l’effet de l’incertitude relative aux politiques monétaire et fiscale sur les rendements et les primes de risque associés aux actifs nominaux du gouvernement des États-Unis. J’utilise un modèle d’équilibre stochastique et dynamique de type néo-Keynesien prenant en compte des préférences récursives des agents et des rigidités réelles et nominales. En utilisant un modèle VAR structurel. L’incertitude relative aux politiques économiques est définie comme étant une expansion de la distribution des chocs de politique, expansion au cours de laquelle la moyenne de la distribution reste inchangée. Mes résultats montrent que : (i) Lorsque l’économie est sujette à des chocs imprévisibles sur la volatilité des instruments de politique, le niveau médian de la courbe des rendements baisse de 8,56 points de base, sa pente s’accroît de 13,5 points de base et les primes de risque baissent en moyenne de 0.21 point de base. Cet effet négatif sur le niveau de rendements et les primes de risque est dû à l’impact asymétrique des chocs de signes opposés mais de même amplitude; (ii) Un choc positif à la volatilité des politiques économiques entraîne une hausse des rendements pour toutes les durées de maturité. Cet effet s’explique par le comportement des ménages qui, à la suite du choc, augmentent leur demande de bons dans le but de se prémunir contre les fortes fluctuations espérées au niveau de la consommation, ce qui entraîne des pressions à la baisse sur les rendements. De façon simultanée, ces ménages requièrent une hausse des taux d’intérêt en raison d’une espérance d’inflation future plus grande. Les analyses montrent que le premier effet est dominant, entraînant donc la hausse des rendements observée. Enfin, j’utilise plusieurs mesures empiriques d’incertitude de politiques économiques et un modèle VAR structurel pour montrer les résultats ci-dessus sont conformes avec les faits empiriques. Le Chapitre 2 explore le marché des bons du gouvernement de 12 pays avancés et 8 pays émergents, pendant la période 1999-2012, et analyses la question de savoir s’il y a eu une quelconque convergence du risque associé à ces actifs entre les deux catégories de pays. Je fais une distinction entre risque de défaut et autres types de risque, comme ceux liés au risque d’inflation, de liquidité ou de change. Je commence par montrer théoriquement que le différentiel au niveau des primes de risque « forward » entre les deux pays peut être utilisé pour faire la distinction entre le risque « forward » et les utilise pour montrer qu’il est difficile de conclure que ces autres types de risque dans les pays émergents ont convergé vers les niveaux différents de risque politique, jouent un rôle important dans l’explication des différences de primes de risque – autres que celles associées au risque de défaut– entre les pays émergents et les pays avancés. Le Chapitre 3 propose une nouvelle stratégie d’identification des chocs technologiques anticipés et non-anticipés, qui conduit à des résultats similaires aux prédictions des modèles néo-Keynésiens conventionnels. Il montre que l’incapacité de plusieurs méthodes empiriques à générer des résultats rejoignant la théorie est due à l’impureté des données existences sur la productivité totale des facteurs (TFP), conduisant à mauvaise identification des chocs technologiques non-anticipés-dont les effets estimés ne concordent pas avec l’interprétation de tels chocs comme des chocs d’offre. Ce problème, à son tour, contamine l’identification des chocs technologiques anticipés. Mon co-auteur, Hafedh Bouakez, et moi proposons une stratégie d’identification agnostique qui permet à la TFP d’être affectée de façon contemporaine par deux chocs surprises (technologique et non technologique), le premier étant identifié en faisant recours aux restrictions de signe sur la réponse de l’inflation. Les résultats montrent que les effets des chocs technologiques anticipés et non-anticipés concordent avec les prédictions des modèles néo-Keynésiens standards. En particulier, le puzzle rencontré dans les travaux précédents concernant les effets d’un choc non-anticipé sur l’inflation disparaît lorsque notre nouvelle stratégie est employée.
