Reviews
Business and economics scholars from Europe, Australia, Israel and North America offer 15 essays on how insights from organization theory and international business can broaden understanding of multinational corporations. They describe the historical perspective on the relationship between multinational corporations and organization theory; established applications of organization theory in their study, such as a contingency approach to the role of headquarters, institutionalist theory, and ethnographic studies; new concepts and methodologies, including multinational corporations as multi-lingual corporations, headquarters-subsidiary relations, critical realism, convention theory, and a playing field of power ; and internal and external contestations of multinational corporations, including the role of gender, the role of social movements and political contests, ethics, and the adoption of corporate social responsibility. -- Annotation (c)2017 * (protoview.com) *
