Tripod
Peng, Wang and Jiang (2004) argue that the institutional perspective should join the resource-based view and the industry-based view of international business. The authors support this view with four different anecdotes that illustrate the importance of institutions in economic development, but also in the strategic choices that the businesses make.
Intuitively, there is some logic to the views that the authors express. The firm's internal resources do not just interact with the market, but they also interact with the institutions in a nation. This concept is particularly important in international business. The first is that in international business, the choices that firms face multiply across the different parts of the world, and the institutions in each county will impact these decisions. Nations impose themselves on economies in a variety of ways, and these choices affect the desirability of any given industry, and also impact the resources. It is this interconnectedness between industry, resources and institutions that highlights why...
For students of international business, this should not be a surprise. Firms regularly take into account the political environment, legal environment and economic environment of a nation when setting strategic course, and all of these things are formed as the result of institutions. Trade and tax policy are often factors -- this can be seen frequently when governments seek to attract businesses with things like free trade zones.
Gao, Murray, Kotabe and Lu (2010) provide further evidence to support the tripod theory. In a major longitudinal study, they find that the institutional environment does affect competencies and their behaviors. This finding supports the idea that institutions matter in business. Further support comes from Peng, Yamakawa and Lee (2009), who discussed the legal framework with respect to bankruptcy laws. Naturally, the legal environment is one of the…

Analogy Just as the speaker in the song knows that she is a hero to her daughter, so too does the narrator of the essay. The narrator in the essay states her desire "to be her hero, to have no fear, to watch her grow and eventually watch her raise her own children." Similarly, the speaker in the song states, "An' though she'll grow an', some day, leave: Maybe raise a family."
Analogy of Racial Segregation The consequences of past events can teach us lessons, shaping the way we think today. For instance, racial segregation, which was established by the Jim Crow laws of the Civil War period and ended in the 1960s with the Civil Rights Act, saw the public separation of blacks and whites. Lessons were learned in that the unethical condition of segregation was recognized, but nearly a century
This discussion of value, however, does not take into account religious viewpoints on the relative value of each human soul. If each embryo is theoretically imbued with a soul and each soul has limitless value, then the balance shifts. Argument from Statistics #1 (total): "In 1976, Washington, D.C., enacted one of the most restrictive gun control laws in the nation. Since then, the city's murder rate has risen 134% while
This will allow for any criminal acts to be noticed and even prevented. With the same justification, can state propose to install cameras in the individuals' homes and monitor the activity there? Obviously not, and the main argumentation that refutes this is the fact that the individual's home is a private place and, additionally, a place where the individual likes to enjoy his privacy. Continuing with analogies in this area,
Next, Dr. Jones takes the map, scans it into an image format and posts it to a secured area of his website. He sends the link to his closest advisors globally and asks them for feedback. He's careful to embed all the information in the actual graphic, not having any text that could potentially be hacked or taken. He also asks for return receipt of each e-mail announcing the map,
There they see just how far removed from reality they previously were. In the cave, they knew only shadows of what were only copies of ordinary objects; in the light of the sun they are able to see the objects themselves and finally the sun itself, which gives being to all else. (79) While Plato's forms may be difficult to conceptualize, these remains the perfect embodiment of what these objects
