Description:
Information systems for multinational companies (MNCs), referred to as international information systems (IIS), have been a problem area for many years, yet have failed to attract more than token attention from the academic information systems research community. This study applies a grounded theory method to establish a first theoretical framework dealing with the structure of IIS and the dynamics of their development and implementation. The substantive theory is based on extensive, long-term work with three MNCs and covers four key areas: (a) the dealings between the actors concerned with an IIS take place in a force field; (b) the force field is reflected in a generic two-dimensional architecture an IIS, which always has a 'core' of systems used by all (or many) of the regions and 'local' systems, different at every regional site; (c) the balance of functionality between the 'core' and the 'local' parts of an IIS follows the degree to which the operations of the MNC require synchronous access to data and processing within the IIS. (d) The interactions of IT and users in the force field follow a cyclical, self-reinforcing dialectic such that an enforced consensus process is required in order to boost acceptance and to limit the probability that continuing rejection leads to catastrophic failure. The limitations of the theory are discussed and directions for future research are given.

Book Description

The revolution in information communication technologies has had a profound effect on the way firms structure and control their operations. At the same time, the ongoing integration of the global economy has greatly expanded international business opportunities.

Book Description

Innovation in Multinational Corporations in the Information Age investigates the production of information communication technology (ICT) through multinational corporations worldwide, and particularly in Europe.

Questions relating to the management of corporate technological portfolio and the management of corporate research activity are addressed, and sectoral specialization along with the geographical location of corporate technological development are analyzed.

The book imparts enlightening viewpoints on the changing boundaries of the international firm and the evolution of corporate learning in a more complex technological system. The increasing significance of regions as units of spatial competition is highlighted, and the analysis of ICT provides an insight into business strategy and policy making agendas.

Book Description

Japanese electronics firms have grown into formidable competitors on world markets but have only seriously expanded their manufacturing presence world-wide since 1985. This volume probes the unique features of Japanese multinationals, and shows how trade policies in the United States and the European Union have shaped the rapid internationalization of Japanese firms in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It will be essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the operation of Japanese multinationals. The volume provides original insights into the determinants and effects of the internationalization of Japanese electronics firms. Theories of strategic trade policy and multinational enterprise are developed and applied to the experience of Japanese firms. Empirical analysis employs a wealth of Japanese language information on the Japanese electronics industry to explore at the micro-level the role of keiretsu in the decision to invest abroad, the relationship between trade barriers, foreign investment, and export substitution, components sourcing by Japanese subsidiaries abroad, overseas RandD, and investment strategies in the European Union. Major lessons are drawn from European antidumping measures and local content rules targeting Japanese electronics firms, which instead of protecting 'European Champions' have helped to develop a Japanese-owned electronics industry in the EU.

Book Description

This book contributes to the understanding of Knowledge Governance in the Multinational Corporation. Intra-firm and inter-firm processes of knowledge creation, sharing and exploitation have attracted increasingly managerial and scholarly interest. However the relation between particular knowledge processes, determinants of organizational choices, governance mechanisms, their relevant costs and benefits, and associated strategic advantages remain less well understood. To address these challenges, this book gives answers to the following questions. What are key challenges of governing knowledge in the multinational corporation? How do contingencies influence relavent trade-offs? How do sets of governance mechanisms respond to problems of cognition and incentives?

Increase Your Value As An Employee.......2006-01-05

169 Ways to Score Points with Your Boss isn't about "apple polishing". It reminds you of basics like "Be on time" and more advanced skills such as "Allow others to save face".
I also recommend another title, "How to Manage Your Boss."

Much common-sense advice, much contradictory advice.......2003-06-14

I was gravely disappointed in this book. Most of the advice is common sense. Much of it is contradictory. Item #56 is "Work Overtime" (unpaid!). Item #80 is "Get a Life (After Work)". Item #128 ("Be a Good Corporate Citizen") urges the reader to donate 20+ hours/week to charities approved by the company and the boss. What planet does the author work on? It must be a planet whose rotation about its axis and revolution about its Sun create 750 days a year, with each day having 42 hours. In Item #88, "Make a Generous Donation During Your Company's United Fund-Raising Drive," the author admits to "personally reviewing contributions made by virtually all employees at headquarters." Just how does the author, as top manager, know that an employee with a "low" contribution doesn't have heavy personal obligations, such as the nursing-home or hospice care of aging parents? Does charity not begin at home? Item #164, "Be Generous with the Gifts You Give Your Boss," suggests what would have been career suicide where I worked for 29 years. When I was a boss, I was never offered a gift by an employee. Had I been, I would have refused it with a stern lecture about "influence-purchasing."
The book has no index to the 169 short (1-2 page) chapters; it should.

Straight-forward advice from a man who is the boss........2002-07-17

Mr. Schonberg has explained in very clear, numbered statements, what you can do with just a bit of effort to put yourself in a positive light with your boss. Some of the points may seem to only apply to the executive but most can easily be put into use at any job level. Time is money, don't waste the bosses money by wasting time on the job. Don't badmouth your former employer. Stay current. All easy to do and all simply explained. After all, the sooner you read the book the sooner you can score points with your boss.

a real joy: powerful and succint.......2000-11-28

+AH4-The title is somewhat misleading in the sense that all the pointers given (usually in the form of one pagers) are also applicable to your employers, coworkers, even personal relationships. A lot of the items are relationship builders, others are tips for improving efficiency, and yet others reminding us that we are all human. Some of the advice may seem trivially obvious, but those are the ones that somehow we forget!

The title is meant to reflect that ultimately a large part of your career+AH4-+AH4- progress depends on your boss and your relationships with him/her. A good advice, but not to be overstated (and the book certainly does not overstate it). Ultimately "there are no shortcuts". This books just provides the tools to make the path a lot smoother. Cheers.+AH4-

What a Positive and Inspirational Guide!.......1998-06-12

I read this book cover to cover. Even though a lot of it is common sense, having it all in one handy book is insightful. Each tip is short and succinct, never more than a single page, and captures the point with maybe one anecdote. Even though I probably committed half of all the mistakes pointed out in the book, I still forged through to the end. Convinced now that my boss hates me (not really), I'm going to go back over my flaws and improve myself. After all, this is what the book is about, maintaining a positive attitude and doing the best you can.

Quirky yet Accurate; Fresh yet Authentic.......2005-10-23

The Belgo Cookbook may seem dubious from its cover, which was deliberately designed to buck the cookbook trend. This book is about as comprehensive, informative and easily digestible (not withstanding also authentic) as one could hope. I lived 4 years in Belgium and this really brought me back. And yes, it is a full tour de force of Belgian attitudes, food, beers, festivals locales, events, tastes, chocolate and more... vive L'Atomium!

More than mussels.......2001-10-25

Fun to read; even more fun to cook from. This cookbook will send you scurrying to find Belgium beers to add to stews and desserts.

Cook Belgian frites at home & choose the right Belgian beer!.......2000-12-05

This book offers a humorous look at the history of the Belgian frite (french fry) as well as offering traditional Belgian recipes. You will learn how to pick the right Belgian beer to accompany your food, as well as how to prepare your own Belgian frites! And if you are in Brussels, they even give you suggestions on where to find the best, and the most unique, Belgian foods! Overall a great book!

Ironically, London's best restaurant is Belgian........1999-08-19

Namely, Denis and Andre's Belgo in Covent Garden. Unfortunately, I've found nothing like it back home. Fortunately, there's Belgo the cookbook. Equal parts moules, frites and beer, I've been able to bring Belgo home. Their book explains all: where mussels come from, which to pick, which to avoid and of course how to cook and eat them (with a discarded shell).

And while the recipes are quick, simple and delicious, this is more than a cookbook. There's also a beer hunter's guide, Belgian music suggestions while cooking, Belgian jokes and plenty of silly photos of the restranteurs. Essentially a primer on the Belgian good life.

Did I mention it's beautifully designed?

misleading title and limited strategy.......2007-03-14

Hedge funds have been in the news lately. Since for the last few years, some have done very well. So it's quite a hot topic. Also true of ETFs, which have proliferated. Wolfinger's title invokes both, in an attempt to attract as large a readership as possible. Alas, the title is somewhat misleading.

The text gives next to nothing about how hedge funds tend to operate. Instead, it is mostly about explaining what ETFs are, and why you might want to own them. One key reason, as furnished by the text, is that you can then write (i.e. sell) covered calls on them. This increases the short term income you can garner from owning an ETF.

Commendably, the author does not recommend buying of options. He says, correctly, that on average, this is a losing game. It is reassuring to read this, for it means that the book is not one of these breathless tales about how to make money quickly.

The explanation of options could have been made 20 years ago. It is fairly limited; meant for a reader with little previous experience in finance. The only truly new material concerns describing ETFs.

The author's strategy is conservative. But in its own way, also limited. To the extent that an efficient market exists for the pricing of the underlying stocks in an ETF, then the covered calls will be priced fairly accurately by Black-Scholes. But if there is an unexpected upside, then your ETF will be sold when the call expires in the money. While if there is an unexpected downside, you retain your ETF and get the call income to reduce your losses. The problem is that if you do this method long enough, you relinquish the unexpected gains. And you end up holding losers.

Good book, bad title........2005-11-04

This book is entirely useful for those with limited knowledge on Options and Exchange Traded Funds. I have to confess that before this book when I first heard ETF I thought it was one more of those great Wall Street inventions that only serves their own evil purposes.

I don't understand why people keep investing in Mutual Funds while paying high commissions for supposed great management. Most mutual fund managers are not capable to beat the darts thrown at the Wall Street Journal. People should dump their Stock Mutual Funds and put their money in ETFs.

This book will help you understand Options, so next time someone talks about Naked Calls or Covered Puts you might join the conversation and look smart.

I'm thankful with Mark Wolfinger for answering the ton of questions I had regarding this book.

The only thing I question about the book is the title, which I think is a little pretentious and when he says that most Covered Calls expire worthless, I have doubts on that.

Should be "Exchange Traded Funds 101".......2005-06-05

The newest craze in investment publishing involves something about "hedge funds." These mysterious investment vehicles (to the unsophisticated public) are seen as the investment of choice for the "rich" investor looking for outsized market gains, or a reduction in risk.

The author seemed to be taking advantage of this when he titled the book. In actuality, there is nothing more here than a basic (and I do mean basic), primer on Exchange Traded Funds, and basic options trading strategies (covered calls and short puts).

The first few chapters involve wasted pages on Modern Portfolio theory, the advantage of index funds over mutual funds, and the benefits of ETF's over traditional index funds. Anyone who is knowledgable enough to be interested in hedge fund strategies (ie. statistical arbitrage, relative value, market neutral, etc.) will find nothing here that he or she doesn't already know.

The second half on trading options on ETF's is similarly light on any interesting information. Much basic information on covered calls and short puts is covered. It wouldn't be unfair to call it simplistic.

Unfortunately, the author did not discuss the important concept of implied volatility when discussing writing strategies on ETF's. This makes certain option strategies, that normally are equivalent, less than equal when used on an ETF.

The book correctly states short puts are equivalent to covered calls, when the puts are secured by cash. If you are going to buy 500 shares and write 5 calls, it is simpler to just sell 5 puts, and hold cash to back them up.

But the author neglects to mention that options on indexes often trade at what is called an IV skew. Out of the money calls on ETF's are generally underpriced, while the puts are overpriced. This makes short puts backed by cash superior to covered calls on an ETF. But Lord help you if the market gets caught in a huge sell off, or implied volatility increases.

There was no discussion of identifying when it is prudent to sell options and when it is wise to remain unhedged. It didn't address the various follow ups to covered call/short put strategies when the stock moves adversely.

If you know absolutely nothing about ETF's, and options trading strategies, then you might find this useful. If you are looking for information on hedge fund techniques, look elsewhere.

This book has changed my outlook on investing .......2005-02-28

The market has always intrigued me. However, following the advice of well meaning, financially secure friends never brought me the success I sought. It turns out that it's much harder to pick winning stocks than I expected. Even the mutual funds I owned were disappointing. "Create Your Own Hedge Fund" really opened my eyes with insight and clear step-by-step guidance in teaching me a profitable, yet safer, way to invest.

The best two skills I gained from this book were: How to build a portfolio and how to make money using one rather simple strategy. This book gave me the necessary confidence to take control of my own finances and provided compelling reasons for doing so. I learned that ETFs (exchange traded funds) are much less expensive to own than what Wolfinger calls 'traditional mutual funds' ...and, on average, make more money.

Wolfinger clearly outlines exactly how to use ETFs and options - a topic that had always scared me. His detailed explanation of how options work convinced me that options are indeed doable. I was also pleasantly surprised to discover that I've been using "options" for years - rain checks at the grocery and auto insurance policies are both essentially options. And the best part - another surprise to me - is that options actually lessen risk. My chances of losing money are now less than they were before.

The author skillfully enables his readers to understand the rationale behind trading decisions with a multitude of examples that make the lessons come to life.

The book also contains useful background information, references and statistics to support the author's ideas. I tried it, and so far, it really works. I make my own decisions now and am happy with the results. Don't be afraid - if I can do it, so can you. As Wolfinger says, I feel like I'm running my own small fund.

The authors explore simple yet effective ways basket securities can be used in asset management strategies including trading the market, building a diversified core, or creating a thousand stock portfolio. They cover the broad array of currently available basket securities and discuss others that are on the horizon, what and when to buy and sell, and how to protect investments from market declines.

Excellent Resource for the Investments of the Future.......2002-01-28

Exchange-Traded-Funds ("Basket Securities")are fast becoming the most important and popular investments in the world. And for good reason. As the authors point out, they offer superior performance to most mutual funds at a tiny fraction of the cost, offer tax advantages in the form of low capital gains distributions, and exposure to over 100 different market indicies. The authors offer a "Holy Grail" strategy of swapping between active and passive management, and a primer on point and figure analysis to boot. Don't look for precise, technical timing formulas, but rather get this book as your definitive reference on ETFs.

Worst investment book I've ever seen.......2002-01-16

I can't believe this 260 page book has appendices that start on page 117!! Over half of this book is lists of stocks included in the ETF's...easily obtainable on the web. We didn't need to kill trees for this! I thought the author would discuss sector swapping strategies, etc. , but not in this book. This book just contains some basic information about ETF's in today's market.

For serious students of long-term growth stock investing........1996-09-01

Serious students of long-term growth investing will find this book a good guide. Co-authored by the Chairman of the National Association of Investors Corp. (NAIC), Taking Control of Your Financial Future details the approach to the market that organization recommends for investment clubs to follow, using NAIC's tools (the Stock Selection Guide, Comparison Guide and others). A chapter of the book is devoted to starting a club, but the majority of its chapters are focused detailing NAIC's stock investing methodology. I wouldn't call this title "beach reading," but it is an excellent textbook, offering a more complete picture of the same approach to the market offered by the Beardstown Ladies in their own book.
