Multinational enterprise

So, what do the mentors of IMMS look like The mentors are either from the same or a more senior organizational rank, and are likely to be from within the organization but could on some occasions also be recruited from outside. This decision entirely depends on the size of the organization as well as on the availability of suitable mentors. Either way, an important selection criterion for mentors is that they possess a lot of experience with multinational enterprise. Although it should go without saying, it is also crucial to select individuals who are indeed capable...

Generally, the dynamics of the flavour and fragrance industry mirror the trend of many industrial sectors the most important representatives of a large number of nationally oriented companies have through mergers, acquisitions and market expansion developed into globally operating multinational enterprises. As a result of this... 

A distinguishing feature of the allocation process in the EU ETS is the highly decentralised manner in which it was done. This characteristic is what could be expected of a multilateral system in which the constituent members retain significant elements of national sovereignty, not to mention one in which the principle of subsidiarity is enshrined in principle and practice. Nevertheless, the role of the centre was critical in arriving at the result that can be observed today. Indeed, it is hard to imagine how twenty-five nations could have succeeded in such a multinational enterprise without the central coordinating role played by the European Commission. Three aspects of this role are especially important. 

The use of expert systems for both on-line and off-line risk analysis and decision support becomes much more complicated in an international environment. Human input and output interpretation becomes a much more challenging exercise. The user model upon which the system depends most certainly will have to account for both linguistic and cultural factors if the system is to operate reliably and effectively. Multicultural human factors must certainly be addressed if we are to succeed in international trade and multinational enterprise. 

If there is a relevant delay between the initial event and the consequences, the first strategy should strengthen the long-term responsibility for future generations. Prior instrument is the selfcommitment of the states and relevant actors (e.g., multinational enterprises). It is possible that fund solutions are appropriate. On the rather individual level, potentially affected people can gain more action capacities by linking participation to empowerment. 

Harm G. Schroter studied in Hamburg and at the University of East Anglia, Norwich, and wrote his doctoral thesis on the relationship between state and industry in the interwar period. He has published widely on economic competition and concentration, particularly cartels and multinational enterprises. Since 1990 he has focused on the history of technology, mainly chemical industry. He now is guest professor of social and economic history at the University of Konstanz. 

Current trends in macroeconomics, defense systems, and advanced communications seem to suggest that large, complex, multinational enterprises like the ISS will become increasingly important over the decades to come. Here I have outlined a variety of unique systems engineering challenges associated with the development of the ISS, including the protracted development cycle, test and verification requirements, and infrastructure considerations.

Multinational enterprises headquartered outside the United States have long had an impact on American economic development. German firms in the chemical industry were no exception and their impact was perhaps as profound as that of foreign firms in any other sector. This paper seeks to trace the pre-World War II history of the German chemical companies in the United States, putting them in the overall context of other multinational enterprises. At the end, we will very briefly summarize the conditions facing the German firms as they reentered the U.S. market after World War II. 

In view of the massive quantity of available information and the fact that others have written on this subject, I felt this article should provide comparisons, synthesis, and analysis. Thus, I will compare German chemical firms with other multinational enterprises. My synthesis will summarize the overall historical path of the German chemical companies in the United States (many of the earlier detailed secondary works dealt only with particular periods, products, or companies). My analysis will home in on the whys of the German chemical companies behavior. In this article, my focus is on the presence of German chemical companies in America...

After World War I many American companies expanded abroad and accelerated their international expansion in the 1920s (developing formidable multinational enterprise activities) this would not, however, be true to any great extent of the American chemical industry. The U.S. chemical industry would seek to sustain the domestic developments that had occurred during World War I and try to come of age. Only in very specialized products would American business go abroad in the chemical industry.

Although engineers working in smaller firms naturally had more direct contact with clients than those in large national or multinational enterprises where there is more specialisation of roles, the multifaceted relations with the clients, either in the form of product end-users or of other firms, in the case of enterprise to enterprise operations were regularly mentioned in our participants discourse.

The first important result of this analysis is that the European chemical companies perform most of their researeh in their home-country, and that patenting activity clusters in few regions. This confirms earlier study by Patell and Pavitt (1997) that the globalisation of R D by multinational enterprises is at best a quite ineomplete process. The seeond set of results explore research collaborations at the level of the individual inventors. Particularly, the analysis compares the firm and the geographical cluster as organisational modes for...
