Regionalization strategy and performance: the moderating role of industry dynamism and top management team diversity

Purpose– This paper contributes to the debate about the performance implications of adopting a regional as opposed to a global strategic posture. The aim of this paper is to argue that the performance effects of a regionalization strategy vary based on the characteristics of the industry in which the MNE operates and the composition of its top management team (TMT). Design/methodology/approach– This analysis is based on a cross‐sectional dataset of 211 large European MNEs headquartered in four Western European economies at the end of 2005. Findings– Results show that firms adopting a regional orientation outperform MNEs with global strategic positioning. This positive relationship is less pronounced under conditions of industry dynamism and inter‐regional TMT diversity. Originality/value– The study contributes to our understanding of whether and under what conditions MNEs benefit from adopting a regional as opposed to a global strategic posture.

Construindo um estilo de pensamento na questão agrária: o debate paradigmático e o conhecimento geográfico

Nesta tese de livre-docência apresento uma reflexão crítica da trajetória de quatorze anos sobre nove temas da questão agrária. Neste tempo, no coletivo de pensamento do Núcleo de Estudos, Pesquisas e Projetos de Reforma Agrária - NERA, produzimos um estilo de pensamento que chamamos de debate paradigmático, o sétimo tema desta tese, para fazer uma leitura do desenvolvimento territorial e suas conflitualidades, que são o quinto tema analiso. O primeiro tema é a própria questão agrária, explicando como velhos e novos elementos modificam a conjuntura sem abalar a estrutura. Um exemplo dessa tese são o latifúndio e o agronegócio analisados como o segundo tema. Outro exemplo estudado no quarto tema, são os conceitos de agricultura camponesa e agricultura familiar, que representam os mesmos sujeitos, mas que são vistos como diferentes pelo paradigmas da questão agrária e do capitalismo agrário. Para um aprofundamento do desenvolvimento territorial, proponho uma tipologia de territórios na perspectiva de superar o pensamento simples de entender o território como espaço de governança. Os movimentos socioespaciais e socioterritoriais são o sexto tema, onde procuro exemplificar com referencias do campo e da cidade. A estrangeirização da terra é o tema mais recente que tenho estudado, de modo que apresento minhas primeiras leituras a respeito deste novo elemento da questão agrária. E por fim, a luta pela terra e pela reforma agrária que são gerados e produtores da questão agrária. Minhas leituras foram construídas com a colaboração de uma equipe de pesquisadores do NERA e de outros grupos de pesquisa no Brasil e no exterior. Embora, este trabalho seja meu, não o teria realizado sem a contribuição de todos

Inside ‘Inside View’: reflections on stimulating debate and engagement through a multimedia live theatre production on the dilemmas and issues of pre-natal screening policy and practice

Background The role of applied theatre in engaging both lay and professional publics with debate on health policy and practice is an emergent field. This paper discusses the development, production performance and discussion of ‘Inside View’.1 Objectives The objectives were to produce applied theatre from research findings of a completed study on genetic prenatal screening, exploring the dilemmas for women and health professionals of prenatal genetic screening, and to engage audiences in debate and reflection on the dilemmas of prenatal genetic screening. Methods ‘Inside View’ was developed from a multidisciplinary research study through identification of emergent themes from qualitative interviews, and development of these by the writer, theatre producer and media technologist with input from the researchers. Findings Inside View was performed in London and the Midlands to varied audiences with a panel discussion and evaluation post performance. The audiences were engaged in debate that was relevant to them professionally and personally. Knowledge translation through applied theatre is an effective tool for engaging the public but the impact subsequently is unclear. There are ethical issues of unexpected disclosure during discussion post performance and the process of transforming research findings into applied theatre requires time and trust within the multidisciplinary team as well as adequate resourcing.
