Interculturality and intercultural communication are concepts that have gained increasing currency in recent decades within a variety of fields including business and management, translation studies, education, development aid, religion, philosophy and interethnic relations.

This book explains coopetition - a new perspective of international business that addresses the simultaneous cooperation and competition between MNE units and their global stakeholders such as global competitors, foreign governments, corporate members, alliance partners, and foreign suppliers. Coopetition explores a new way of looking at business, which leverages complimentary relationships between organizations. It looks for win-win scenarios in which a business strives to get a bigger piece of the pie not by taking share from a contender, but by making the pie bigger. Coopetition is attri

Multinational Enterprises in Emerging Markets aims at providing international managers with a series of lessons on how to reap maximum returns while mitigating related hazards arising from economic, regulatory and socio-cultural environments in emerging markets. Unlike other books, which tend to be very general in offering these lessons, Yadong Luo explicates the issues concretely, comparatively, and thoroughly. He articulates how MNEs should properly deal with local governments in a cooperative and at the same time bargaining manner. How to balance business ethics (e.g., anti-bribery) with

This book brings together a wide range of empirical studies, all disclosing and substantiating the so-called experience economy with a particular focus on its entrepreneurial aspects.

They illustrate concrete examples of how it is created and made to work, thereby providing the reader with a unique insight into the significant shift from a managerial to an entrepreneurial economy. The chapters in the book also herald another deeply transformative aspect of this shift: its emphasis on play, affect,

This book addresses cross-cultural issues in business communication between corporate headquarters in Denmark and subsidiaries and alliance partners in Japan. Japan is an important and interesting market for Danish companies, as it is a highly profitable one and the quality expectations of Japanese consumers mean that products accepted in Japan are quality-stamped worldwide. Experience in the Japanese market also provides an advantageous stepping stone with respect to the rapidly developing Chinese market. Nevertheless, cultural issues and the complexities of penetrating the Japanese m

Cooperatives and cooperative payment schemes, cost and profit sharing rules, are found in all sectors of society - including law and consultancy, insurance and finance, health, housing, utility, and, of course, in agriculture. The book develops an economic framework for assessing different cooperative payment schemes. First, a number of relevant criteria (properties) are defined, then the book analyses how well different schemes fulfil these criteria under alternative production and market conditions. The book is aimed at professionals involved in the design and use of payment schemes as well
