Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The purpose of this paper is: to highlight the impact of industrial networks on strategic alliances; to determine if alliances help firms to build up new or strengthen existing networks; to find out whether alliances succeed or precede networks. Our findings show that well-developed networks have a positive impact on how alliances function and the results that they can achieve. The other finding is that alliances defend and strengthen networks, and also enable firms to build new ones or penetrate those of their alliance partner(s). The final conclusion is that it is difficult to determine if alliances succeed or precede networks.

The effect of demographic characteristics on considerations of future consequences and compulsive buying and their interlinks
- 2022
-
In: International Journal of Business and Emerging Markets. - : InderScience Publishers. - 1753-6219 .- 1753-6227. ; 14:3, s. 279-295
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This study aims to examine the impacts of demographic variables (gender, age, and income) on consideration of future consequences (CFCs) and compulsive buying tendencies (CBT). It also investigates if and to what extent the demographic characteristics might influence the effect of CFC on CBT. Data for this study were collected from 394 adult respondents using a self-administered survey. The structural equation model in AMOS reveals that consideration of future (CFC-F) has a significant negative effect on CBT, whereas consideration of immediate (CFC-I) has no significant effect. In addition, the multi-group analysis found that the influence of CFC on CBT does not change across genders, yet it varies with income and age differences. These novel insights into consumer behaviour have implications for both research and practice.

Outsourcing and organizing NPD at emerging markets : a survey of Malaysian firms
- 2010
-
In: International Journal of Business and Emerging Markets. - Geneva : InderScience Publishers. - 1753-6219 .- 1753-6227. ; 2:3, s. 213-234
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Malaysian manufacturing firms need New Product Development (NPD) methods as tools for boosting their ability to survive. The purpose of this study is to investigate NPD practices in Malaysia, especially practices for outsourcing NPD and organizing NPD. The objectives were achieved by using a mail survey addressing companies in the automotive, chemical, and electrical industries. The results of the survey indicate that the NPD practices used in Malaysian firms focus more on production cost and manufacturability, whereas the need for increased knowledge receives lower priority. The results also reveal a major difference in practice between locally owned firms and subsidiaries of multinational companies.

Internationalisation of Bank Enterprises in New Emerging Markets : The Case of Penetration and Expansion into Eastern European Countries
- 2008
-
In: International Journal of Business and Emerging Markets. - 1753-6219. ; 1:1, s. 80-104
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The question raised in this papers is how two EU firms penetrate and expand into new emerging markets in Eastern Europe. The theoretical view relies on the firms' Internationalisation and business network theories and the varieties in the behaviour is explained by the degree of business commitment and knowledge. The outcomes add new knowledge to the internationalisation and business relationship theories for the better understanding of market entry and expansion and offer managerial implications for management of political relationships.
