This book recounts a series of "case-studies" of fourteen artists ranging from William Blake to Agnes Martin. The theme of artistic "possession" is explored. The adaptive incorporation of their manifes...

This innovative book contains key works which examine the current operations of large firms in the global economy.

All of this is accomplished within a consistent theoretical framework - the internalisation theory of the multinational firm. This framewo...

This seminal book has revolutionised the field of international business. Presenting the core theory of the multinational enterprise based on the internalisation of imperfect markets and the minimisation of location costs, The Future of Multinational Enterprise has inspired both theoretical and empirical research on the global economy. In addition it has influenced company strategy and economic policy at local, national, regional and internati...

With stagnated demand in many home economies, the need to internationalize and exploit foreign market opportunities has never been more paramount for businesses to succeed at a global level. However, this process raises a number of questions, such as: can firms use their knowledge of one market in the next? Can firms pursue internationalization on several fronts at the same time? How should firms handle cultural and institutional differences b...

This book brings together important psychoanalytic papers which shed light on the psychological nature of psychotic states and address aspects of their psychotherapy. This book includes selections from the works of Harold F. Searles, Edith Jacobsen, Victor Tausk, Robert C. Bak, Nathaniel J. London, Norman Cameron, and others and offers a critical essay by Peter Buckley.

The history of psychoanalysis has been punctuated by theoretical dissension but perhaps no debate has been as wide ranging and has had such profound implications as that involving object relations theory. It is the purpose of this book to bring together those papers which have been seminal to the development of this theory.

This book examines the role of knowledge within multinational enterprises and their global networks. It introduces the concept of 'Global Factory', a framework for the understanding of spatially distributed activities under the control of a focal firm, and it focuses on the role of foreign direct investment in the transformation of China.

The Multinational Enterprise and the Emergence of the Global Factory brings together research papers authored by Peter J. Buckley, focusing on three of the most important empirical and theoretical issues in the global economy: the rise of the 'global factory', the growth of FDI from emerging economies, recent developments in the theory of IB.

Governments and multinational firms have moved from a situation of conflict to one where government policies were seen as a constraint on the activities of MNE's. This book examines the relationship between multinational firms and emerging markets, a relationship which changed profoundly in the period from the 1950's to the late 1990's.

A leading international business theorist and writer for more than 30 years Peter Buckley focuses in this volume on the development and modelling of the multinational enterprise (MNE) and its role in knowledge creation and dissemination as well as cultural distance in international business, particularly with respect to Asian business.

This volume identifies and analyses the crucial issues in the impact of multinational enterprises (MNEs) on less developed countries (LDCs). Although the authors take a variety of wide stances on the important questions a uniformity of approach emerges. The perspective is essentially that of economic analysis but it is enlivened by unorthodox concepts derived from related social science disciplines. The chapters cover the process of developmen...

The book is the culmination of a research effort which spanned all continents and involved a large number of research teams from both the industrialised and developing countries. The book addresses a number of key issues related to technology transfer by small and medium-sized enterprises most especially whether such companies are more effective transferors than larger transnational corporations. A key aspect of the research was the fact that ...
