In this article we propose a novel perspective, consisting of the consideration of aspects associated with the personality of employees. We depart from the five-factor model of personality (FFM) and identify the influence on employees’ continuance commitment. We follow a quantitative methodology, by considering a sample of 144 employees from three companies, and we explore how personality traits influence the intention of the employees to continue in the company. Among the main practical implications of this investigation, we highlight the empirical verification of the importance attached to employee’s personality in order to understand its degree of organizational commitment with the organization.","PeriodicalId":40416,"journal":{"name":"UCJC Business and Society Review","volume":"1 1","pages":"80-117"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2017-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41990625","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}

Being located in Spain, these units can facilitate the expansion of multinational companies in Latin America by providing part of the experiential knowledge required to succeed in the region, yet avoiding the initial requirement for investment. Based upon the expansion strategy of five European multinational firms, we develop an inductive model in which headquarters functions –coordination and knowledge creation processes - are distributed between the parent company and the springboard subsidiary along an accumulative process of capabilities. This model reflects the type and degree of commitment of both actors in each stage: whereas in the initial phase the springboard subsidiary and the headquarters act as substitutes, they execute complementary functions with the development of the local network in the target region. By demonstrating how a springboard subsidiary can help to align control to context, the model offers a tool for strategic analysis that helps avoid potential value destruction by parent companies.","PeriodicalId":40416,"journal":{"name":"UCJC Business and Society Review","volume":"1 1","pages":"206-225"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2017-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46774100","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}

Our results show a significant presence of RPTs, with more than half of listed Spanish firms committing to RPTs.

This study aims to analyze the role of domestic mergers as a competitive mechanism in the long term. We have reviewed all domestic mergers between mobile operators in 43 European markets from 2000 to 2015. After identifying 26 domestic mergers, this study observes that they not only have immediate effects in the market power of participants, domestic mergers also influence the evolution of rivalry in the long term. We observe that domestic mergers slow down the increase of competition that has taken place from 2000 to 2015 as a consequence of factors such as the entry of new competitors and regulators’ intervention.","PeriodicalId":40416,"journal":{"name":"UCJC Business and Society Review","volume":"1 1","pages":"130-167"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2016-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69584682","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}
