Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- In a rapidly growing and changing field of corporate responsibility and sustainable and responsible investment, the impact of corporate social performance (CSP) and corporate environmental performance (CEP) on corporate market value is increasingly important for investors and companies. Comprehensive literature reviews indicate that the overall effect is positive but weak. This paper advances prior literature by arguing that CSP and CEP create potentially intangible value beyond the value of financial statements and introduces holistic extra-financial performance ratings into an accounting valuation model. This paper finds that environmental performance and some dimensions of social performance are specific extra-financial drivers of corporate market value. The evidence also supports weak positive average relations that are, however, driven by industry and size differences.

Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Il volume riunisce una serie di contributi dedicati alla pornografia audiovisiva contemporanea, intesa come "forma culturale" veicolata attraverso molteplici piattaforme tecnologiche (cinema, televisione, Internet). Nella prima parte, il volume analizza i meccanismi economici, sociali e linguistici che sottendono l'attuale produzione pornografica, soffermandosi in particolare sulle modalità di produzione/ rappresentazione e sulle pratiche di fruizione/partecipazione. Nella seconda parte, il volume esamina i processi di migrazione che portano la pornografia audiovisiva a disseminarsi all'interno di altri sistemi espressivi (cinema d'autore e di genere, arti visive, video-clip, fiction televisiva, fashion design).

Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In accordance with this strong tradition, acquisitions have generally been considered as conscious acts that are driven by rational choice. Meanwhile, alternative and especially critical perspectives have not gained much ground in acquisition research (e.g. Vaara & Tienari 2002, Vaara 2004). Researchers do admit that multiple processes are involved in M&A (Shimizu et al. 2004) and that many questions related to acquisition process are intertwined (Haspeslagh & Jemison 1991). However, the complexity of these processes and particularly the role of the context-related factors in terms of the taken actions are not revealed. This applies also to literature on acquisition motives (Angwin 2007b). According to the common assumption, the acquisition process is initiated by the careful analysis of company needs, scanning potential partners and evaluating them carefully (e.g. Bagchi & Rao 1992). The prime actor in this process is acquiring firm management whose sole (legitimate) motivation is to increase economic value for acquiring shareholders (Angwin 2007b). However, the prevailing assumptions of this notion may be challenged.

Implementing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in Africa : a conceptualisation and propositions

Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is gaining increasing importance for contemporary companies. Various groups like governments, non-governmental organisations, international multilateral organisations, shareholders and consumer groups are joining the debate and encouraging companies to pursue CSR. Many corporations are making strategic decisions to incorporate CSR into their business models. CSR is seen as representing best practices and as a tool to achieve sustainable development. From the corporate perspective, CSR can establish the company as a good corporate citizen and could lead to improved productivity of the workforce. In spite of the fact that CSR regulations are generally lax in African countries, it is important for companies doing business in Africa to implement it, as the material needs of the workers and the rest of the population are inadequately provided for. In this paper we present a conceptualisation of CSR in a developing country context and present propositions for achieving the strategy in Africa.

Experiential knowledge profiles in internationalizing SMEs : The ability to sustain market positions in the new turbulent era of global business
- 2011

In: Entrepreneurship in the Global Firm. - : Emerald Group Publishing Limited. - 9781780521145 ; , s. 77-96

Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Purpose – This study sets out to establish experiential knowledge profiles of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) entering emerging markets and to examine how the different abilities contained in these profiles impact the sustainability of market positions in the new turbulent era of global business.Methodology – We analyse a sample of 203 entries into emerging markets by Swedish SMEs. The data collected on site at all sample firms is analysed in two sequential stages. First, an exploratory factor analysis is performed to derive four types of experiential knowledge. Second, a cluster analysis is performed to establish experiential knowledge profiles among the entering SMEs.Findings – The result of the analysis shows that experiential knowledge is a multi-dimensional construct consisting of four main types. Moreover, emerging market entering SMEs are shown to develop different knowledge profiles. We suggest that Masters are well prepared for such periods. Learners most probably will experience high levels of uncertainty, whereas Country and Customer Experts face less uncertainty due to their specialisation on either host market or customer knowledge.Originality – The chapter shows that the experiential knowledge base of emerging market entering SMEs is an important indicator of the readiness for turbulent times. Firms will be able to sustain market positions differently depending on which type of knowledge profile they belong to.
