Internationalization of firms and management of international operations are important objects of research at universities and business schools in the Nordic countries and Nordic scholars have made considerable contributions to the present knowledge of international business. This book presents the on-going research of twenty-nine Nordic scholars in this area. It covers topics like: the competitive advantage of being multinational, the influence of cultural differences, the internationalization of sub-contractors, human resource management in international joint ventures, divestment of foreign subsidiaries, cross-border buyer-supplier relationships and the international firm as an interorganizational network.
Includes bibliographical references.
