The Effects of Geography and Infrastructure on Economic Development and International Business Involvement
In: Journal of infrastructure development, Band 4, Heft 2, S. 91-113
ISSN: 0975-5969
The objective of this article is to bring together geographic, marketing and economic perspectives to examine how far infrastructure development can offset adverse national geographies in aiding economic development and involvement in the global economy. We use LISREL structural equation modelling to investigate relationships between geography, infrastructure, economic development and country's involvement in trade and foreign direct investment. Results identify key geographic factors affecting global market involvement and key infrastructures (electricity production, telephone lines and container facilities at ports) facilitating economic development and international participation.
Global Industry Profiling: Machine Tool Industry
In: Multinational business review, Band 11, Heft 1, S. 89-101
ISSN: 2054-1686
As their businesses globalize at increasing rates, managers need frameworks for analyzing industry activities on a worldwide basis. In this paper, a framework for global industry analysis is presented, using the machine tool industry to illustrate how industry overviews, global consumption and production analyses can be used to gain worldwide perspectives on industry behaviors. Breakdowns by company, segment, region and country markets help strategy formulation and resource allocations in the worldwide marketplace. Obtaining the right sorts of information is the key to insightful global analyses. The globalization of industry trade associations and on‐line business news services are major sources of worldwide industry developments.

"We are GREAT Britain": British newspaper narratives during the London 2012 Olympic Games
In: International review for the sociology of sport: irss ; a quarterly edited on behalf of the International Sociology of Sport Association (ISSA), Band 53, Heft 8, S. 895-923
ISSN: 1461-7218
British newspaper narratives were examined during the 2012 London Olympic Games to discern how the British press promoted specific "narratives of the nation." For the London-based British press, the home Olympics became the ideal medium not only to sell newspapers and electronic format subscriptions, but also to (re)present their views on Britain and what it stood for. Using a qualitative textual analysis methodology, this study drew on Anderson's theory of the "imagined community" and Edmunds and Turner's concepts of benign and malign nationalism to provide insights about how Britishness was framed. For a country struggling to shake off the economic recession, early narratives about the Games were imbued with concerns about the escalating costs of hosting the Games and fears of terrorism. However, the critical early tone of British newspaper narratives was supplanted with uplifting, inspirational stories about the unprecedented success of Team GB athletes. This provided British journalists with an opportunity to reengineer Britishness to reinforce some traditional values and inject some new inclusive ones. Although at times, complex, contested and contradictory, the narratives generally linked the internationalism of the Olympics with a progressive, benign version of Britishness that emphasized inclusion, tolerance, and creativity and, at least temporarily, redefined how Britain regarded itself and was viewed.
England expects: English newspapers' narratives about the English football team in the 2006 World Cup
In: International review for the sociology of sport: irss ; a quarterly edited on behalf of the International Sociology of Sport Association (ISSA), Band 45, Heft 2, S. 199-223
ISSN: 1461-7218
The essence of global sports has been competition among nations at the international level. For football, arguably the world's most popular sport, global rivalries are paramount, and every four years since 1930, it has been the World Cup that has provided this excitement. English newspaper narratives about the English men's national football team competing in the 2006 World Cup were examined to gain insight into how English national identity was portrayed. Using a qualitative textual analysis methodology, this study drew on Anderson's (1983) theory of the imagined community, Hobsbawm's (1983) notion of invented traditions, and the Eliasian (1991) concept of habitus codes. Set against the contemporary trends of devolution, globalization, and a post-7/7 discourse the newspapers relied on a reductionist, essentialist construction to elicit an emotional connection with a homogenous form of English national identity. The narratives seemed designed to galvanize support for the English team through references to historic English military victories and speeches. These served to rekindle images of bygone, mythical, and imperialistic eras. The newspapers also reverted to an 'us vs them' invective in blaming Swedish manager, Sven-Göran Eriksson, for England's failure to win the tournament with the 'greatest generation'.
