Resumen
L’obiettivo di questo lavoro è quello di analizzare e rivisitare in modo critico il concetto di crisi aziendale e le relative ripercussioni che questa può avere quando si intraprende un processo di valutazione d’azienda. I più celebri studiosi di corporate finance, sia nazionali come L. Guatri, che internazionali come A. Damodaran, hanno fornito nelle loro pubblicazioni alcune definizioni di “crisi aziendale” fornendo anche concrete linee guida per comprenderne le principali cause ed indicatori. In questa ottica, la valutazione d’azienda, se già materia complicata nel caso in cui le performance della società in esame siano positive, diventa ancor più delicata in uno scenario di crisi ed incertezza. Sono quindi state prese in considerazione le principali tecniche valutative per capire quali possano essere i principali limiti o accorgimenti che il valutatore deve considerare quando l’oggetto dell’analisi è una società in crisi. Concretamente, è stata condotta una analisi del settore alberghiero nel mercato indiano che suppur essendo in contante crescita, vede alcuni premium player scontrarsi con performance non ottimali. È stata così condotta la valutazione di una società quotata con il fine di comprendere le principali cause di crisi e stimare il valore dell’impresa.

Resumen
The study presented in this thesis investigates offshore software outsourcing relationships. Offshore software outsourcing has been increasing continuously for the last decade. More and more software vendor companies from different countries such as India, Russia, Brazil and China are joining the offshore `bandwagon'. Indian software companies especially have managed to secure a leading position as offshore software outsourcing vendors. However, with more client companies outsourcing their software operations offshore, issues associated with the establishment and management of offshore outsourcing relationships have become more important. With the growing volume of offshore outsourcing, the number of failures is also increasing. A review of the literature suggests that success or failure is mainly dependent on the management of relationships between client and vendor. Subsequently, it is imperative to identify critical factors that can help to better manage offshore software outsourcing relationships. Furthermore, it is also important to identify the difficulties faced in managing offshore relationships and also how clients and vendors develop mutual trust. Trust is important to understand in the offshore software outsourcing context as it has been reported as the most significant contributor to the management of any human relationship. Nonetheless, different advantages that motivate clients to outsource are also important in understanding offshore software outsourcing. In this study, motivators, difficulties, critical relationship management factors and trust building factors are studied by means of empirical investigation into eighteen high maturity Indian software companies and six of their clients based in the USA and Europe. Multiple case studies with grounded theory analysis techniques are used to conduct the empirical investigation. Grounded theory, which is a part of qualitative research, helps to develop emergent model from empirical data. Furthermore, multiple case studies are used as objects to collect qualitative data and organise overall investigation. The research methods used were piloted with two Indian software companies before conducting the full empirical investigation. The results of this investigation suggest that client companies are motivated to outsource their software offshore by cost savings, quality, flexibility, core competence, skills availability, higher productivity, faster development, technical expertise and high maturity of vendor. The results also uncovered difficulties faced by clients and vendors in managing relationships. Difficulties include managing cultural differences, expectation mismatch, language differences, loss of control, distance, time zone differences, workforce reshuffling and post-contractual matters. This investigation further identifies critical factors to managing offshore outsourcing relationships such as effective communication, a process driven approach, commitment to the project, transparency in actions, consistency in performance, value addition and allocating resources effectively in the project. Furthermore, results from this study suggest that previous work reference, experience and reputation in the offshore outsourcing business, background of the key vendor employees, investments, prototyping and personal visits from the client are important for achieving trust. This study also identifies that to maintain trust in the relationship both clients and vendors perceive critical factors such as commitment, process driven approach, communication, confidentiality, performance, honesty, transparency, demonstrability, personal relationships and working together in outsourcing project. Based on the results of the empirical results and their discussions, this study presents an emergent model and practical guidelines for managing offshore software outsourcing relationships. The uniqueness of this investigation is in its large scale empirical investigation into high maturity software companies. Furthermore, most previous studies have investigated either clients or vendors, whereas this study investigates vendors and their corresponding clients. An investigation into trust in offshore software outsourcing relationships is also a significant addition to the existing literature relevant to software outsourcing. The empirical investigation gave rise to proposals for discussions and to an emergent empirical model. Thus the current body of knowledge in offshore software outsourcing is enhanced by this work. Moreover, practical guidelines, based on empirical results are proposed for client and vendors to help them manage their offshore software outsourcing relationships.

Resumen
The realities associated with adjusting to working and living in a culturally diverse country and a new work environment brings with it challenging experiences for the Indian IT expatriate. This research explores the influence that organisational factors, prior to the assignment such as selection, pre-departure training, prior international experiences and time to prepare, as well as initial and ongoing organisational support in the host country, have on Indian IT expatriates at client sites who are on an international assignment in Australia. One of the major challenges facing Indian IT multinational companies (MNCs) is the high turnover rates among IT workers, thus making this research significant in understanding MNCs role, in terms of the cross cultural preparation and support systems provided to expatriates, that assist them prior and during the international assignment. The IHRM expatriation and adjustment literature has mainly focused on Western managerial orthodoxy and on expatriate managers going to work at their subsidiary offices. The current research worked to bridge this gap by studying a different kind of expatriate, namely IT workers at client sites and different migration context- temporary emigrant from the emerging economy of India. The research attempts to address this issue by posing the research question of ‘How do Indian IT expatriates experience their overseas assignment?’ through semi-structured interviews with two datasets and using the two theories; namely Met Expectations Theory and Perceived Organisational Support Theory. In an international context where IT workers are at client sites, it is argued that having accurate expectations of the assignment is critical for their success. These two theories will be used as a foundation for the current research investigation.

Resumen
The purpose of this study is to find out which leadership styles are effective during the COVID-19 pandemic in India. In this study, the term “effective leadership styles” is used for defining the efficiency level of a leadership style in COVID-19 pandemic. Efficiency level refers to the constructive results which companies could reach due to a specific leadership style. During the pandemic, the main constructive result is the surviving in the market. It has been heavy heartedly witnessed that how dreadful COVID-19 turned out to be. It has affected the whole world. After the great recession that occurred in COVID-19 turned out to be most fatal for whole world economy. It has been seen that difficult for all the businesses to survive. To do so the whole role was of leadership. It was on the leaders whether if they led their company and their followers in right directions or vice versa. It has been seen many well reputed companies have been shedding their costs by downsizing. The proposed study aims to see the role of leadership during this crucial time of COVID-19. Design/methodology/approach — 120 structured questionnaires consisting of 14 statements were distributed to Indian IT companies through online channels such as LinkedIn and WhatsApp. The analysis was performed on the data collected using SPSS. Theoretical Framework — From reviewing the literature about leadership styles, 7 leadership styles have been highlighted as the theoretical basis for our study. The questionnaire has been developed based on the 7 styles. Results – Our study found out that during the pandemic Instruct-style, Transformational, Autocratic, and Strategic leadership styles have high level of effectiveness, and such styles are helping companies to cope with the crisis created by Covid-19 pandemic. Meanwhile our analysis showed that the Transactional, Laissez-Faire, and Democratic styles are not very effective during the crisis. Thus, our study discovered that during the crisis leaders need to take more autocratic role and give very clear instructions to employees. Study provides useful insights for academicians and marketers to device strategies by understanding the factors that portray how leaders can lead their employees in crucial times like COVID-19.

Resumen
The purpose of this study was to understand the attitudes, perceptions and experiences of college women in modern India with regard to intimate partner violence, specifically dating violence. Surveys were collected from 489 undergraduate female participants. Only 99 participants (20%) were or had been in a dating relationship. The participants in this study self reported both perpetrating and receiving violence in these relationships. A significant positive relationship was found between dating violence perpetration and victimization and four risk factors: witnessing and experiencing abuse in one's family of origin, attitudes justifying wife beating, and problem behaviors associated with alcohol use. A significant negative relationship was found between anger management skills and the perpetration and victimization of violence in dating relationships. Finally, even though the rate of dating and alcohol use is low in India, the problem behaviors associated with these phenomena are very similar to those identified in the United States. Although much is known about domestic violence and wife assault in the Indian context, there is almost no information or effort in the direction of prevention and education in the realm of dating violence. While India is advancing technologically, creating new opportunities for its youth, there is no simultaneous effort being made to protect its youth from risks of urbanization and cultural shifts. The young adults of India today are joining the global economy. However, there is no system put in place to educate and nurture their social and cultural evolution. Findings from this study suggest that as the youth open themselves up to the culture of dating and premarital courtship, there needs to be a parallel effort made to educate and train them about healthy relationships.

Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 34-35).
In this paper we evaluate how harmonization of patent laws in China and India to developed world standards has affected innovative research and development activity in the life sciences industry of those countries. The patents listed in the United States Patent and Trademark Office were used as a proxy to measure innovative activity. The number and types of patents filed over the period from 1976 through 2008 were analyzed for trends towards innovation. At a high level, we found that 'Drugs and Medical' account for only 6% of Chinese patents but make up 20% of the universe of Indian patents. When evaluating patent activity over time, we found that filings rose exponentially in the mid-nineties corresponding to the creation and implementation of product patent laws in both countries. India exhibited a much higher and steeper increase, likely due to its previously established capabilities as a generics manufacturer. When segmenting the data based on type of firms (academic, foreign multinationals and local private) we found that post product patent laws, local private firms exhibit more activity in India whereas local firms and multinationals show similar amounts of activity in China. In both countries, academic institutions show the greatest amount of activity compared to the multinationals and local private companies. We conclude that stronger IP laws have resulted in greater innovative activity as seen in the exponential rise in patent filings in the life sciences industry in both China and India. Although India has shown greater activity compared to China possibly due to its established capabilities in the generics space as a result of its protective patent regime prior to the harmonization.

Resumen

We are about to, or already have, entered the Asian century meaning that this huge continent is going to play a key role in the world’s economy in the future. New vibrant markets provide all kinds of business opportunities for companies around the world. There is no time being a passive player, standing beside and watch. One of these emerging markets is India with a fast growing economy, huge middle class population a large pool of qualified manpower. Although, the Indian market shows many opportunities and possibilities, one must not forget the challenges that follow. India is the land of contrasts due to differences in culture, language and traditions. This diversity also affects the Indian business environment, which makes it complex and hard to manage. Therefore, listening to and use the experiences other Swedish companies have had when establishing in India may be a crucial factor for success when entering the market. This discussion concludes in the following question; how can Swedish companies simplify and facilitate their establishment in India? The main purpose of our study is to investigate the experiences Swedish companies have had when establishing in the India market. Moreover, the purpose aims at identifying differences in culture, business behaviour and negotiating techniques between Sweden and India. Finally, we will suggest concrete guidelines for Swedish companies, in order to simplify their establishment in India. With a hermeneutic scientific starting point, this study aims at creating comprehension and interpretation of the theory and the empirical material. Since the theories are studied in order to be related and compared to the empirical material, the study has a deductive approach. Moreover, the study has a qualitative method in order to get deeper knowledge and a greater understanding about the subject. The data has been gathered through interviews, analysed and correlated to the theory in order to finally, in the conclusions, give guidelines to Swedish companies that are about to establish at the Indian market. The theoretical framework consists of the three major blocks International Business, Culture and Business Behaviour. The reason for choosing these theory blocks is their relevance for our research question and the purpose of our study. International Business is more an introduction to companies going abroad and to our study, while we have chosen to dedicate an own block to both culture and business behaviour due to their impact on doing business in a foreign environment. Furthermore, a separate chapter about India as a country, market and business environment is presented. The empirical material has been gathered through nine interviews conducted at Swedish companies established in India, and five e-interviews with Swedish persons involved in the establishment process. The companies participating in our study are located in four different Indian cities; New Delhi, Mumbai, Pune and Bangalore. The respondents are either CEO or Managing Director. Due to the different locations, years of operating, business areas and the establishment form, the companies have had different experiences when establishing in India. Some of the conclusions are that a Swedish business model in an organisation with only Indian employees is a successful solution to facilitate the co operation between the parent company and the Indian office but also to get the local knowledge needed. Moreover, patience, openness and transparency are key success factors in Indo-Swede collaborations.

Resumo: Este trabalho investiga um tema ainda pouco conhecido e estudado pela etnologia das populações indígenas nas terras baixas da América do Sul: a relação entre estas sociedades e os animais introduzidos pelos europeus após o contato, notadamente cachorros, gatos, bois, porcos, cavalos e galinhas. Baseando-se no material empírico recolhido entre os Karitiana -povo de língua Tupi-Arikém que habita o norte do estado de Rondônia, no sudoeste da Amazônia brasileira - a pesquisa procura compreender como este grupo indígena concebeu formas práticas e simbólicas para acomodar estes seres exóticos que apareceram em seu cotidiano com o aparecimento dos brancos, provavelmente no final do século XIX. A partir da história do surgimento e da adoção dessas espécies estrangeiras - que, por si mesma, já sinaliza a diferença entre estes e as criaturas nativas - discute várias questões relativas à posição dos animais domesticados europeus no universo social e cosmológico Karitiana, entre as quais questões de gênero, parentesco e vida familiar, nominação, atividades produtivas, movimentos religiosos e conhecimento histórico e zoológico. Argumenta, por fim, que embora plenamente incorporados no cotidiano indígena, algo da exterioridade e da estranheza original desses seres permanece, e dão conta de certas ambigüidades que podem ser observadas. Ademais, estas ambigüidades são resultado do próprio descompasso entre as noções Karitiana e ocidental de domesticidade e/ou selvageria e, de uma perspectiva mais geral, entre os modos de relação entre seres humanos e não-humanos
Abstract: This work deals with a matter which was not properly investigated by ethnologists working on indigenous populations in the South American lowlands: the relationships between these societies and animal species introduced by Europeans after contact and conquest, specially dogs, cats, oxen, pigs, horses and chicken. Based on empirical data collected among the Karitiana - a Tupi-Arikém-speaking people inhabiting northern Rondônia state, southwestern Brazilian Amazon - this research aims to comprehend how this Indians created symbolical and practical ways to adopt these exotic beings, which were probably introduced by the whitemen during the XIXth century. Exploring histories on how this foreign beings appeared and were adopted by the Karitiana - histories that, by themselves, already points to differences between exotic beings and native ones - this work discusses a number of questions on European animals' positioning in the indigenous universe; among them, questions about gender relationships, kinship and family life, naming practices, economic activities, religious movements, and historical and zoological knowledge. It also argues that, in spite of being incorporated into indigenous everyday life, a little bit of that original weirdness and strangeness still persists. In turn, these aspects can explain the ambiguities we observe. For the last, these ambiguities are the result of Karitiana's and Western's distinct notions on domesticity and/or wildness, and between their distinct ways to build human and non-human relationships

Texto completo
Resumen
This thesis examines the role of corporations as political authorities, focusing on corporate land acquisition and corporate provision of services and infrastructure. It considers these activities as "Company Rule," a political project to secure corporate control of territory and population, shaping power relations between corporations and the people they govern. The thesis asks what motivates companies to rule, and whether Company Rule can achieve political legitimacy. The thesis makes four main contributions. First, it develops a framework for analysing the political agency of corporations, informed by international relations theory, management science, and economic history, including empirical analysis of three historical cases of Company Rule: the British East India Company, the British South Africa Company, and the New Lanark mill town. Second, the thesis applies the framework to three contemporary case studies: the Reliance oil refinery and township in India, the Del Monte pineapple plantation and estate in Kenya, and the Lonmin platinum mine and surrounding settlements in South Africa. It finds that company actors are motivated by one or more of three key factors: utopian visions of the society their governance can deliver, a desire to counter resistance to business operations from labour, community groups or other stakeholders, and internal bureaucratic power struggles which take governance policies as a site of conflict. Third, the thesis finds that the balance of these motives varies across time and space. The policy context in which companies operate influences the particular ideological motives expressed in Company Rule. In highlighting the significance of policies that postcolonial governments have taken on the regulation of land, the thesis situates Company Rule in wider discussions of the role of territory and the social construction of space in the creation of political authority. Fourth, the thesis finds that any legitimacy Company Rule achieves relies not only on the material quality of company-provided services and infrastructure, but significantly on their normative content. Workers, communities and regulators respond to the ideological motives expressed in company governance, and it is their acceptance or rejection of these motives that determines the legitimacy of Company Rule.

Resumen
The present study empirically investigates the level of compliance by listed Indian firms with disclosure requirements of Indian Accounting Standards. India’s Accounting Standards have been gradually converging with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) since 2001. India currently stands on the verge of adopting the International standards. Indian companies are working fervently towards adopting IFRS. This provides an extraordinary research environment to assess the level of compliance during this transitional time as well as lending an opportunity for a post adoption study. This study addresses two research questions developed to review annual reports of 156 listed Indian firms to determine (1) their current level of compliance with selected disclosure requirements of Indian Accounting Standards, and (2) key corporate characteristics that affect their level of compliance. The data used for the study pertains to the financial year 2009-2010 and utilizes disclosure and compliance index methodology to calculate the level of disclosure. Overall, the findings of this study indicate none of the companies in the sample was fully compliant with the mandatory requirements of the Indian Accounting Standards. On average, level of disclosure made by Indian companies based on selected mandatory disclosures is 70.91%. Nevertheless, the disclosure levels were on an average comparable to results from similar studies conducted in other developing countries. Moreover, results indicated a strong and positive association between level of disclosure and the size, profitability and timeliness of reporting of the sample companies.

Resumen

Den liberala ekonomiska globaliseringen har lett till att Indien öppnat upp sin ekonomi och landets politiker välkomnar idag utländska investeringar såsom multinationella företag i hopp om ekonomisk tillväxt. Då Coca Cola Company etablerade en fabrik i byn Plachimada i södra Indien medförde detta miljöproblem i form av vattenbrist och förgiftning, vilket i sin tur ledde till stora sociala problem för byns befolkning. Idag är fabriken stängd på grund av invånarnas långvariga och kollektiva protester i vilka byns kvinnor varit särskilt aktiva. Studiens syfte är att söka kunskap om hur Coca Cola Companys etablering i Plachimada liksom det kollektiva motståndet mot fabriken har påverkat identiteten hos de kvinnor som varit aktiva i motståndet. Syftet är vidare att skapa förståelse för hur kvinnorna ser på ”västvärlden” liksom på sig själva i förhållande till väst. Utifrån studiens syfte har ett kvalitativt och reflexivt arbetssätt tillämpats där ett empiriskt material insamlats genom sex semistrukturerade djupintervjuer med kvinnor bosatta i Plachimada, kombinerat med observationer. Det empiriska materialet har analyserats utifrån teorier om empowerment, kollektiv identitet samt postkolonialism. Resultatet visar att kvinnorna genom deltagandet i protesterna känner sig stärkta, upplever att de har fått större kunskap samt en känsla av stolthet. Studien visar vidare på att det verkar finnas en närvaro både av en identifiering med hembyn – Plachimada och med nationen – Indien hos kvinnorna vi har intervjuat. Resultatet visar även på tankar bland intervjupersonerna som tyder på att koloniala maktstrukturer finns närvarande i kvinnornas syn på sig själva i relation till västvärlden.


The liberal economic globalization has led to the opening of the Indian economy and in hope for economic growth, the Indian government today welcome foreign investments such as multinational corporations. When Coca Cola Company established a factory in the village of Plachimada in the south of India, this led to environmental problems such as water shortage and contamination, which in turn caused big social problems for the villagers. Today the factory is closed as a result of the villagers’ collective protests in which the women of Plachimada have been particularly active. The aim of this study is to seek knowledge about how Coca Cola Company’s establishment in Plachimada as well as the collective protests against the factory has effected the identity of the women who have been active in the protests. The aim is further to create an understanding of how the women perceive the western world as well as themselves in relation to the western world. To accomplish the aim a qualitative and reflexive method was chosen, where an empirical material was collected through six semi structured interviews with women living in Plachimada, combined with observations. The empirical material has been analyzed using theoretical perspectives of empowerment, collective identity and post colonialism. The result shows that the women, through participation in the protests, experience themselves stronger, find that they got more knowledge as well as a feeling of pride. Furthermore the study shows a presence of identification among the women with the village – Plachimada and the nation – India. The result also denotes that colonial power structures are present in the ways the women perceive themselves in relation to the western world.

Resumen
The previous research, in the internationalization area, indicates that there are both opportunities and challenges when companies operate abroad. By using a SLEPT analysis model, which studies the effect from the countries’ social/cultural, legal, economic, political and technological environments and their effects, it makes the opportunities and challenges more depletive. This makes it easier for companies, which are operating in a foreign country, to handle the situation and therefore, saves both time and money for the companies. The purpose of this study is to present a more conspicuous representation of the opportunities and challenges that companies in an industrial market have to face, during their operation in an emerging market. To gather the necessary information a multiple case study was implemented with three Swedish companies, who all are within the business to business (B2B) area. This study was conducted by interviewing the case companies, which are all established in India. These companies are Bufab AB and two from the Volvo Group (Volvo 3P and Volvo Powertrain). This study demonstrates that the main opportunities are the Indian population, highly educated people, the complaisant government and the fact that it is a low cost market. The challenges that these case companies had to deal with are lack of experience, the law and tariff system is difficult to understand, the laws change frequently, the economic development is rapid and the infrastructure is poor.

Resumen
Solar thermal technology is a rapidly evolving technology that still has a smaller market share than other green technologies. Therefore, this study aims to recognize barriers and drivers for the use of solar thermal technologies in the industrial sector. A literature review summarized the existing literature problems concerning drivers and barriers for the use of solar thermal technology in the industrial sector. To establish drivers and barriers to the use of solar thermal technology in the industrial sector and to supplement the literature review, a cross-sectional analysis was carried out in this study. Case studies have been performed in India, where two companies have undergone pilot testing of solar thermal systems in their manufacturing processes, and one has an option to incorporate solar thermal systems. Purposeful sampling was used to select the companies for the interviews, while convenience sampling and the snowball sampling were used to pick interview participants, further in this research six interviews was conducted from 4 different companies in the industrial sector. The findings were presented with thematic analysis. Drivers and Barriers have been divided into themes. Namely, Drivers include futuristic technology and Barriers include high costs, infrastructure requirements, more efficient and cheaper alternatives and lack of institutional support. Futuristic technology theme explains why this technology is beneficial for industrial adoption in the Indian market. High-cost theme explains why this technology is expensive over other renewable sources. Infrastructure requirements theme explains installation barriers influencing the adoption of solar thermal systems in the industrial process. Efficient and cheaper alternatives theme explains competitors influencing the adoption of solar thermal energy in the industrial sector. Lack of institutional support theme explains government and multinational companies that are influencing the adoption of solar thermal energy in the industrial sector. Aspects covered by the theme, high costs were most frequently mentioned among the respondents, suggesting that barriers play a significant role in implementing solar thermal systems. In contrast, aspects covered by the themes lack institutional support, infrastructure requirements, and more efficient and cheaper alternatives have not been addressed in the literature. Finally, the study concluded that the adoption of solar thermal energy in the Industrial Sector faces various barriers and drivers that must be investigated before the implementation.

Resumen
There is increasing evidence to suggest that Corporate Community Involvement (CCI) has gone beyond philanthropy towards more innovative approaches in addressing complex social problems. One example is particularly evident in developing countries where corporations organize the local community in their operational areas into community-based organizations (CBOs), such as self-help groups, and enable them to tackle social problems by themselves. In this thesis, I explore this emerging CCI mode, termed Corporate Instigation of Community-Based Organizations (CICBO), by focusing on the contexts in which such engagement is conceptualized, the process through which it is put into practice and the outcomes of such engagement. I adopt an institutional perspective, grounded in the umbrella concept of institutional work that highlights the recursive relationship between institutional environment and organizational actions within which a new CCI mode emerges. An analytical framework is built around the constituent components of institutional work (e.g., enabling conditions, agency, actions and consequences) that allows for a process-oriented exploration of the emergence of a CCI mode as an organization-level institution. The framework is employed to examine three key aspects of CICBO: company motives to initiate the mode and the contextual factors that influence those motives, the micro-processes through which the mode emerges, and its outcomes at multiple levels. In doing so, my study presents an alternative theoretical perspective on CCI, one based on institutional work. At the same time, it also contributes to the bottom-up theorization of institutional work. This research is interpretive in nature. A case study method is utilised for in-depth investigation of the CICBO mode of two oil and gas companies in India, the Oil India Limited and the Cairn India Limited, applying multiple qualitative research techniques such as interviews, focus group discussions and document analysis. The empirical findings provide valuable insights on the antecedents, processes and consequences in the emergence of the CICBO mode in particular and broader CCI discourse in general. This situates my research among the few studies that contribute to the processual understanding of CCI. The study identifies a legitimacy crisis at the community level arising from incompatible institutional arrangements, recognition of future business threat or opportunity, and a company’s habitual orientation towards community engagement as the key drivers for CICBO. However, prevalence of such a contingent environment alone is not enough to manifest the CICBO mode. As an intelligent and reflexive actor, the company reflects on its past, assesses the present, projects itself into the future, and assigns different levels of importance to each of these factors. As observed in the study, CICBO emerges when securing future business interest is associated with ensuring long-term social legitimacy through effective solutions to critical social issues. This finding makes explicit the connection between strategic motives and subsequent framing of CICBO as the solution to achieve them. CICBO aims to create a community-level practice of CBO-oriented collective problem solving. It focuses on gradually building important community capital in a way that enables the community to maintain the practice without company support. This signifies a dual institutional creation work where the activities for creating community-level practice in the field occur under the umbrella of a temporary CCI practice that is created in parallel. The company’s intention to continue the support for a limited time only reflects its commitment to community empowerment, rather than inflicting further dependence. CICBO unfolds through iterative phases of conceptual (design) and operational (implementation) activities, where a stable template gradually emerges through repeated incorporation of ongoing learning. As such, the emergence of CICBO depicts high interactions among company, community and other social actors. In particular, the process highlights diverse roles of the local community as the initial adopters of the CBO-oriented practice, supporters in the promotional activities, part of the maintenance mechanisms, and most importantly eventual upholder of the practice. The findings identify the ability of CICBO to create shared values for the CCI actors and potential for community empowerment. More importantly, the success of CICBO is observed to inspire various social actors including other organizations and the wider community to engage in similar and complementary practices, resulting in widespread diffusion of CBO-oriented activities. The findings bring new insights for practitioners, policy makers and communities, particularly in developing countries, who seek to design and implement similar practices as effective and sustainable solutions for complex social issues.

Resumen
This paper argues against the common historical belief that the British East India Company’s actions benefited the British Public. While many recent historical works argue that the Company had detrimental effects on India, the common consensus believes that the Company’s actions while pillaging India benefited Britain through economic treasures and access to luxuries. In the first section of the text, the author describes the British East India Company’s corruption, propaganda, and lobbying efforts to enrich individual members of the Company and protect personal and corporate profits. The next section describes the Company’s impact on Britain and argues that the Company was an overwhelmingly negative investment for the British taxpayer. The author compares the East India Company’s historic actions and impacts on Britain to the impact of modern big corporations on their own nations. The text concludes with an argument that the popular narrative, which holds that large corporations’ interests coincide with that of the nation’s public interest, is both inherently mistaken and fraught with danger. The author argues against a zero-sum worldview and for a corporate sector with checks and balances.

Resumen
The changes in consumer patterns, digitalization, and the augmented diplomatic relation between Sweden and India has opened new opportunities for Swedish small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to enter the Indian market, which is characterized as an emerging market. Although SMEs often have scarce resources, they are succeeding in entering foreign markets and competing with Multinational corporations (MNCs). The phenomenon called Born Globals contradicts with the conventional internationalization theories. It sheds light on new internationalization paths, where the firm often is an SME and offers digitized products or services. Business networks and brand strategies are set to be important factors when entering the international markets, yet there are still research gaps in how Swedish SMEs enter the Indian market. The purpose of this study is to investigate the motives of Swedish SMEs when establishing in the Indian market. A qualitative methodology was used, by collecting data through semi-structured interviews from multiple case studies: (1) advisory organisations and (2) companies. The findings show that India is perceived as a continent rather than a country since there are differences in state growth rates and purchasing power. Other findings show that international business networks and market knowledge are crucial for entering a new market. SMEs do not need to have an established brand to succeed in entering the Indian market.
Förändringar i konsumentmönster, digitalisering och den ökade diplomatiska relationen mellan Sverige och Indien har öppnat nya möjligheter för svenska små och medelstora företag (SMF) att träda in på den indiska marknaden, som även kännetecknas som en tillväxtmarknad. SMF besitter oftast knappa resurser, när de vill konkurrera med multinationella företag (MNC) på den internationella marknaden. Fenomenet som kallas Born Globals strider mot de konventionella internationaliserings-teorierna och belyser istället hur SMF-bolagen expanderar och etablerar sig internationellt. Denna studie fokuserar på SMF som erbjuder digitaliserade produkter eller tjänster. Affärsnätverk och varumärkesstrategier anses vara viktiga faktorer vid inträde på de internationella marknaderna, men det finns fortfarande forskningsgap i hur svenska SMF träder in på den indiska marknaden. Syftet med denna studie är därför att undersöka vilka grundläggande motiv som svenska SMF har vid etablering på den indiska marknaden. En kvalitativ metod användes genom att samla in data genom semistrukturerade intervjuer från multipla fall: (1) rådgivande organisationer och (2) företag. Resultaten visar att Indien uppfattas som en kontinent snarare än ett land, eftersom det finns skillnader i tillväxt och köpkraft mellan staterna, vilket attraherar svenska SMF. Dessutom visar undersökningen på att utländska affärsnätverk och marknadskunskap är avgörande faktorer vid inträde på en ny marknad. Däremot behöver inte SMF ha ett etablerat varumärke för att lyckas träda in på den indiska marknaden.

Texto completo
Resumen
Bengal raw silk was never renowned for its high quality, yet it attracted the interest of the European trading companies from the seventeenth century. This thesis explores the English East India Company’s silk manufacturing activities in Bengal and the Company’s trade in Bengal raw silk in the late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries. The Company’s interest in Bengal raw silk was driven both by economic and political factors – profit maximization and mercantilist ideas about governance. The English East India Company considered Bengal raw silk to be an item with potential high returns as the British silk weaving industry required supplies of raw material unavailable domestically. However, the quality of the Bengal raw silk was low and it could not be easily used in British weaving. Britain thus relied on the importation of raw silk from Italy, Turkey and the Mediterranean region. The English East India Company saw an opportunity to replace these supplies with silk imported from Bengal. In order to improve the quality of the raw silk produced in Bengal, the Company decided to adopt the Piedmontese system of silk reeling – the most advanced reeling system in Europe. The thesis shows that this new system of reeling was profitable. Yet, the quality of the Bengal raw silk did not improve as much as expected: a large part of the silk produced was of substandard quality. My thesis argues that the primary reason why substandard raw silk was produced was the inadequate institutional framework of production which facilitated principal-agent problems.

Resumo: A pesquisa que se segue promove um mapeamento dos relatos de naufrágio em língua portuguesa, relatos que mencionam as viagens à carreira da Índia nos séculos XVI e XVII, com intuito de analisar o momento de coexistência, tensão e diálogo entre os conhecimentos tradicionais e livrescos, da cultura antiga e medieval, com os novos conhecimentos modernos, mais pragmáticos, baseados na experiência. A hipótese central que norteia nossa pesquisa é de que o mar, que até então era um espaço relacionado ao medo, às ilhas imaginárias, aos monstros marinhos, ao abismo e às figurações infernais, passa também a ser relacionado aos infortúnios experimentados durante as viagens: a fome, a sede, as calmarias, as doenças, as tempestades e, sobretudo, os naufrágios. Partindo desta hipótese, ao mapear esses relatos, buscamos, paralelamente, saber qual era o estatuto e a circulação do escrito analisado na sociedade portuguesa do período. Quem era e como se situava socialmente quem o escreveu. E, por fim, quais concepções sobre a vida de bordo e sobre os mares navegados estavam sendo construídos. Dito de outro modo, a análise que ora propomos realizar deve ser entendida como um procedimento que procura, fundamentalmente, verificar a forma como os discursos se entrecruzam e estabelecer, dentro de séries, suas regularidades discursivas
Abstract: This research promotes a mapping on the reports about shipwrecks written in Portuguese - such reports mentions the trips on the route to India in XVIth and XVIIth centuries - and attempts to analyze the point of coexistence, tension and dialogue among traditional and bookish knowledge of ancient and middle age culture with the new modern attainment, more pragmatical and based on experience. The main assumption that leads our research is that the sea (which was, by that time, a space related to fear, to imaginary lands, to sea monsters, to abyss, and hellish figures) becomes related to the casualties experienced during a sea trip: the starvation, the thirstiness, the calmness, the diseases, the storms and mainly the shipwrecks. From this hypothesis, by mapping those reports, we parallelly search to know which was the usage and circulation of the analyzed writings on that matter among Portuguese society by that time, its author and its social position. Finally, we look for which conceptions about the life on board and on the sailed seas were being formulated. In other words, the analysis we now intend to do should be interpreted as a procedure that fundamentally aims to verify the forms in which the discourses cross mutually and establish its discursive regularities in series

Resumen
The title of this thesis is CSR and its Communication in Multinational Companies. It is a comparative study of Tata Steel and Royal Dutch Shell in India and the UK that explores the dimensions of CSR and its communication in these different contexts. It seeks to contribute to the examination of CSR and its communication and the relationship between the two. It takes an exploratory approach to proving unique empirical evidence of company approaches and is designed to acknowledge the relevance of the context-specific on CSR as a social construct (Burr 2003), and the ever-changing, nature of its communication. This thesis investigates how company’s define and decide on their approach to CSR and whether, in today’s business environment, a company’s CSR-related activities can be extrapolated from their communication. It also explores how CSR and its communication has evolved to accommodate a changing business environment; the benefits of designing a CSR approach that is synonymous with its communication; and the implications of separating CSR from its communication. In order to do this qualitative research methods are used, combined with discourse analysis to obtain rich insights into the perceptions of the individuals involved in the CSR communication process and company stakeholders. A total of in-depth 25 interviews took place over more than 25 hours, split between India and the UK. This included interviews with 10 managers and 15 stakeholders. Coombs and Holladay’s (2012) motivation matrix is used as a basis for the analysis of the results. The main academic contributions of the research reveal a move away from the use of the term CSR towards sustainability; the specific reference to ‘involvement’ as a fundamental element of the CSR definition; the use of psychotherapeutic language as a motivation for CSR; and the imbedded nature of communication within the CSR concept, making the two concept inextricably linked. The findings reveal how the concept of CSR and its communication has evolved and is being developed by companies as a means of inspiring and giving meaning to stakeholders. They indicate the need for research to keep abreast of this changing environment as a means of informing both academics and practitioners in the fields of both CSR and communications.

Thesis, University of St Andrews, 2015. http://hdl.handle.net/10023/7765.

Texto completo
Resumen
The thesis addresses the role of national oil companies and their overseas engagement in the foreign policy decision-making process of states. Over the past 40 years, national oil companies have gained importance in the international oil industry and currently control around 90 per cent of the global oil reserves. A number of political and economic factors – depleting domestic reserves, economic growth – have resulted in an increasing expansion of Asian national oil companies to Africa. Through the use of two Asian national oil companies – Malaysia's Petronas and India's Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) – and their overseas engagement in Sudan and South Sudan as case studies, the thesis assesses three aspects: factors and motives that influence the relationship between government institutions and Petronas and ONGC, the connection between this domestic relationship and the overseas engagement of both companies, and the implications of the overseas engagement of Petronas and ONGC in both Sudans for the foreign policy decision-making process of Malaysia and India. This set of questions is analysed through a comparative case study design that is supported by in-depth interviews and based on Foreign Policy Analysis (FPA), proposing a four-level theoretical framework. This thesis thus seeks to demonstrate how FPA can help assess the connection between the domestic decision-making process and the international engagement of the companies. In doing so, it not only argues that process and engagement are in fact connected, but also critically addresses conventional assumptions about the overseas engagement of national oil companies. Furthermore, this thesis questions the idea that government institutions and national oil companies act in a coherent and coordinated manner when operating abroad.

Resumen
The East India Company played a vital role in British commercial expansion and European-Asian economic links in the early modem period, and its business activities covered many regions of the East, including China, the most populous nation on earth. The general structure and development of EIC's Chinese trade had been studied, but, details of the Company's tea trade with China, the most important and profitable branch of the Company's commercial affairs after the late eighteenth century, remain to be explored. In particular, the issue of its management of tea procurement from China remains largely unstudied. This thesis thus examines the EIC's tea trade with China and the related financial issues in 1760-1833, the heyday of the Company's Chinese tea trade. Because Canton was the only Chinese port open for the international maritime trade after 1760, the Company's trade in China was in effect a trade with Canton. The Canton Commercial System which shaped the Ch'ing Empire's foreign trade policy had another major feature, that is, only a handful of merchants, the Hong merchants, could deal with foreigners. Accordingly, transactions with the Hong merchants in order to procure tea for home demand became one of the Company's priorities in its Canton trade. This research thus investigates in detail the tea transactions between the EIC's supercargoes and the Hong merchants. In particular, the different tea-purchasing methods adopted by the Company are examined. Special attention is also paid to the system of quality control which presents a picture of how the Company developed an efficient system of tea purchases and struck a balance between organising an adequate supply for British consumption and maintaining quality. While developing an efficient tea-purchasing system, the EIC was also struggling to obtain enough funds to finance its tea trade without the needs to continue shipment of a large amount of silver bullion from Britain. The Company finally succeeded in making use of its increasing bargaining power and adopted a trucking system through which British manufactures were exported to Canton in exchange for tea. Indian sources of revenue and the private intra-Asian trade also played a crucial role in the Company's funding of its enlarged tea trade at Canton. The creation of these different flows of fund and their importance are in turn discussed in this thesis. This study also examines financial relationships between the EIC and the Hong merchants, and especially the strong position gained by the Company. Moreover, the condition of the EIC China trade after the beginning of the nineteenth century is highlighted because by then the dual-monopoly pattern of the Anglo-Chinese trade was facing a challenge. These different areas of discussion provide a comprehensive study of the Company's tea trade with China after the 1760 which helps us more fully to appreciate the EIC's position in the European-Asian commercial links in the early modem period.

Resumen
The aim of this thesis is to reassess Cain and Hopkins’ gentlemanly capitalist explanation of British imperialism in Asia during the first half of the nineteenth century through examining the lobbying activities of provincial mercantile and manufacturing interests against the renewal of the East India Company’s charter during the periods 1812-1813 and 1829-1833. This thesis particularly has focused on Glasgow’s lobbying activities although Liverpool and Manchester’s cases have also been examined. In Cain and Hopkins’ model, the position of provincial manufacturing interests was outside from the gentlemanly capitalists’ circle consisting of non-industrial capitalists based in London and South-east England, such as the landed aristocracy, the merchants and bankers of the City and professions. Economically, there was a split between these gentlemanly capitalists and the provincial manufacturing interests, and politically, the provincial interests could exercise minor influence on the national politics. This thesis has contributed to three issues related to Cain and Hopkins’ gentlemanly capitalist thesis. The firs issue is the degree of influence of provincial commercial and manufacturing interests on the formation of Britain’s imperial policy. The second issue is the relationship between the gentlemanly capitalists in London and the provincial mercantile and manufacturing interests. The third issue is the Scots contribution to the formation of the British Empire, to which they failed to give their attention. Regarding the first issue, this thesis has demonstrated that the provincial mercantile and manufacturing interests organised effective lobbying activities for the opening of the East India and China trades and succeeded in exerting undeniable influence over the state’s decisions in both the first and second campaigns through well-organised lobbying strategies, powerful lobbing means, and their access to the centre of the national politics through their influential parliamentary supporters. In this thesis, the provincial lobbyists’ economic interests and political backgrounds have closely been examined. Although the provincial lobbyists’ economic and political interests were varied and they split up over some economic and political issues, these did not affect their unity in their challenge against the London merchants’ dominance in the East India trade. This contrasts with Cain and Hopkins’ argument on the gentlemanly capitalists’ superior influence on the national politics. In terms of the second issue, this thesis has shown that there is no evidence for the collaboration between the provincial interests and the London merchants during the 1812-1813 campaign. Nevertheless, as the connection between the provincial manufacturing interests and the London agency houses grew after the opening of the India trade, in the 1829-1833 campaign, the provincial lobbyists and some of the London mercantile interests showed their collaboration. Therefore, this thesis supports the application of Webster’s more complex model than Cain and Hopkins’ original model to British imperialism in Asia during this period. Finally, in respect of the Scots contribution to the formation of British Empire, during these two national campaigns for the opening of the East India trade, the Glasgow lobbyists were very active and the GEIA played a significant role in their lobbying activities.

Resumen
The effectiveness of land sharing and land sparing (LS/LS) approaches to conservation in the face of rising agricultural demands has been widely debated. While numerous studies have investigated the LS/LS framework from an ecological lens (yield-biodiversity relationship) the relevance of the framework to real life depends on broader considerations. Some of the key caveats include: i) limited knowledge regarding the feasibility of interventions given diverse stakeholders’ interests, ii) the social acceptability (uptake) of these contrasting strategies to direct land users, and iii) limited knowledge regarding their impacts on individuals’ livelihoods and food security. Without considering these social science dimensions proponents of the framework risk an incomplete picture that is not grounded in local realities and can paradoxically force into opposition the very conservation and development interests they seek to reconcile. Using a Companion Modelling approach, which comprises the development of a role-playing game (RPG) and an agent-based model (ABM), this thesis addressed these caveats. The research was based in the Nilgiris of Western Ghats India, a tropical agricultural system at the forest frontier. The main findings show that through engaging local stakeholders in a participatory process, plausible land use strategies that align with their objectives could be identified. Stakeholders proposed three land use interventions. Two of them resemble a form of land sparing (‘monofunctional’ landscapes) on the farms: sparing land for Wildflower Meadows or Tree Plantations while increasing yield on the remaining land. The third intervention asks farmers to accept yield penalties for Intercropping more trees on their farms, a form of land sharing (‘integrated’ landscapes). In terms of decision-making regarding the adoption of these three interventions by direct land users, the study reveals several findings. Firstly there are three main types of motivations that influence farmers’ decision to adopt interventions, in order of importance: monetary benefits, pro-environmental motivations and social norms. Secondly, land use, the type of management preferred on the farm and whether land users accept trees on the farm or not are factors that influence what type of interventions is socially acceptable on individual farms. These factors have been detected in the in-depth household survey and also validated by the RPG. When assessing the adoption of the three interventions, ex ante their implementation, using an ABM, there are some important differences observed between the interventions. Wildflower Meadows is the intervention adopted by the largest number of households, whereas Intercropping is adopted across the largest area of land. Forest Plantations is significantly more unpopular than the other two interventions. The third line of investigation, about the outcomes of adoption, has important policy implications. Adding a socioeconomic dimension to the ecological one adds a level of complexity and creates a less straightforward choice between the LS/LS strategies. None of the three interventions can provide optimal outcomes for production, aspects of biodiversity conservation, livelihoods and food security. Each intervention has indicators that score better compared to the other two interventions. The findings demonstrate that the ecological focus of the LS/LS framework is insufficient to deal with real-world complexities and lends itself to overly simplistic policy prescriptions. More meaningful policies could be achieved when bridging natural and social sciences to better understand the merits and limitations of the LS/LS approaches.

Resumen
This paper empirically explores the critical connection between intellectual capital disclosure and corporate governance variables, while having firm-specific control variables, for a sample of 137 Indian listed firms. Intellectual capital disclosure is recorded by a self-developed index score used on the annual reports of the sample companies, along with an attempt to capture the qualitative aspect of the intellectual capital disclosure in the form of semantic properties underpinned by Time Expectation theory and the overall word count of intellectual capital in the annual reports. The analysis is further widened by analyzing individually the corporate governance factors with all the three forms of Intellectual capital (Internal, External and Human). Most of the corporate governance variables within the analysis is associated with the disclosure practices of Intellectual capital be it quantitative or qualitative. Thus, this paper attempts to extend the previous literatures with a specialized case of an emerging economy along with contributing towards the agency theory by establishing the links between corporate governance and disclosure practices.

Resumen
The present dissertation deals with internationalization strategies from companies in a small country developed economy, Portugal, to one of the largest economies in the World, India, with the purpose of raise awareness of the vast the vast business opportunities that this country can offer to Portuguese enterprises. The central research question is: “Do Portuguese companies have the capacity to satisfy the necessities of a country like India?” This investigation analyses three very different options of internationalization: Outsourcing, luxury market and Indian social problems, where an in-depth investigation is made on these segments, followed by a case study of three Portuguese companies that are currently exploring, respectively, these internationalization options. Besides the economic, political and demographic factors discriminated by the companies as being extremely attractive for their expansion, the main conclusion of this investigation is that Portuguese enterprises have the capacity to satisfy the needs of a country with the size of India, and do not necessarily have to pass through Goa to have success in this vast market. Based on the results, personalized recommendations were made to the companies analyzed, as well as highlighting other attractive sectors for Portuguese firms.
A presente dissertação retrata as estratégias de internacionalização de empresas de uma pequena economia desenvolvida, Portugal, para uma das maiores economias do Mundo, India, com o objetivo de consciencializar as empresas portuguesas sobre as vastas oportunidades de negócio que este país pode oferecer.
