Description of the research topic:
The concept of the enterprise embedded in a national economy is outdated as with the expansion of global value chains more and more enterprises are linked to or integrated into a global operation with cross border ties. These linkages and networks pose special challenges. The market is not local and mostly the main factors in production decisions are not costs or revenues driven in the traditional way but are heavily exposed to transfer pricing practices.
Financing and exchange rate considerations are also different as the access to financing is mostly determined by the leading enterprise in the value chain.
Innovation and its funding is managed on a global scale with much different outcomes compared to traditional enterprises.
Performance evaluation and measurement is also different as well as managerial practices may reflect a global or cross border flavor reacting to different expectations and a different motivation as opposed to stand alone individual enterprises are managed.
The tension between the unprecedented need for global collective action and a growing aspiration to rebuild political communities behind national borders is a defining challenge for today’s policymakers. And it is currently unclear whether they can resolve this contradiction.
The expected results of this research may contribute to deal with these new challenges. It may include assessing factors linked to firm performance from a modern angle with emphasis on new challenges in the global economy, like sustainability and climate related issues. The research may outline new perspectives and responses to challenges in traditional management practices.
