Der Autor untersucht die verschiedenen Erscheinungsformen multinationaler Unternehmen sowie ihre sozialen Voraussetzungen und Konsequenzen. Er geht zum einen auf Studien ein, die sich mit den Internationalisierungsstrategien von Großunternehmen aus den Kernbranchen wie der Automobilindustrie und der Telekommunikationsbranche befassen oder den Prozess des Organisationswandels in einer vergleichenden Perspektive aufgreifen. Thematisiert werden zweitens Fragen nach den Konsequenzen der institutionellen Einbettung internationaler Unternehmen für ihre Struktur- und Strategiemuster und der Bedeutung regionaler Bindungen für solche Unternehmen. Drittens wird Fragen, die sich auf Management- und Koordinationsprobleme bzw. den Politik- und Machtprozessen in internationalen Unternehmen beziehen, nachgegangen. Zum vierten werden die Konsequenzen der Internationalisierungsstrategien für das System der industriellen Beziehungen aufgezeigt. Abschließend wird gefragt, inwieweit von einer Internationalisierung des Managements von Unternehmen gesprochen werden kann. (ICG)

Over the past two decades, emerging market multinationals have become an important force in international business. This book provides a better understanding of the actions and strategies used by firms from mid-sized emerging markets to upgrade their capabilities and become successful multinationals. It is the first book to provide an in-depth look at Mexican multinationals, or 'Multimexicans'. These include some of the leading firms in the world, such as the construction materials producer Cemex and the tortilla maker Grumasa, as well as smaller but innovative firms such as the theme park Kidzania and the cinema multicomplex Cinepolis. This comprehensive analysis contains case studies written by local industry experts on these and other firms, across twenty-two industries. The lessons drawn will be of interest to researchers, students, and consultants, as well as managers and executives of firms in other emerging markets looking to upgrade capabilities and expand abroad
