The study adopts a longitudinal approach to exploring the evolution of internationalization – from a partnership via an international joint venture between a company and a government, to partial acquisition and, finally, into a wholly owned subsidiary. The focus is on a case company from Central and Eastern Europe at the time when the transition process from a centrally planned economy towards a market-led economic system was under way. Dyadic and triadic relationships are investigated by applying sets of theoretical approaches to the creation of an East–West business relationship. They encompass the role of the country’s government, the management of the focal company and the foreign partner. Furthermore, the role of interactions and relationships of personal and organizational nature, as well as commitment and trust building, are in focus. The chapter charts the development of the focal company over a period of more than 20 years calling upon concepts that are intrinsic to understanding relational development and the integration of the company into global business structures.","PeriodicalId":281274,"journal":{"name":"Edward Elgar Publishing","volume":"229 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124416949","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

He said: ‘You say that you will involve MindTree in Phase Two. But when it comes to Phase Two, you will come back and say that MindTree does not have the business knowledge of Phase One, so we cannot involve them. So don’t make that mistake. Involve MindTree from the beginning.’ That is when the whole plan changed.

Dijk","doi":"10.4337/9780857932679.00037","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4337/9780857932679.00037","url":null,"abstract":"The Dutch labour market differs from that of other countries due to a unique combination of high employment rates and a low average number of hours worked. Dutch employment rates are among the highest in the world, at 77 per cent in 2011. At the same time, the average number of hours worked annually per employed person is one of the lowest, at 1377 hours in 2011. The OECD average for these variables in 2011 was 65 per cent and 1750 hours, respectively (OECD, 2012). Like many other countries, the Netherlands faces a decline in the working-age population as a result of ageing and declining birth rates. The implications of these phenomena pose a serious threat to the current welfare level, but given the unique situation of the Dutch labour market, increasing the total number of hours worked seems to be an obvious solution to maintaining the level of per capita wealth. However, low working hours might be difficult to change, due to established preferences of employees. The aim of this study is to explore the possibilities for increasing the number of hours worked by workers currently active in the labour market. The low average number of hours worked in the Netherlands is the result of a high proportion of part-time employment, along with an autonomous downward trend in the total number of hours worked (Statistics Netherlands, 2011).","PeriodicalId":281274,"journal":{"name":"Edward Elgar Publishing","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134252131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
