What management research tells us about the organizing principles, processes and strategies of firms is based mainly on large, publicly traded firms in the US and a few other highly developed Western economies. These have been the iconic and archetypal organizations, dominating the business landscape and research agendas in the organizational sciences in the 20th and early 21st centuries. Consequently, our stylized facts about how organizations function, generate rents, and influence economies and societies are based largely on these types of firms. Increasingly, however, the focus on these archetypes is out of synch with ongoing developments in the global economy and, in particular, the rise of emerging economics such as the BRIC nations (Brazil, Russia, India, and China). And while firms from these emerging economies play an important and growing role in the global economy, surprisingly little is known about their organizing principles, rent creating processes, and strategies and how they may differ from those found in the Western publicly traded archetype.
As a point of departure in the search for greater understanding of the organizing principles, processes and strategies of firms based in emerging markets, our PDW will explore the following four research questions.
How do organization types commonly found in emerging markets such as family businesses, government linked enterprises and business groups differ in their abilities to develop, sustain and utilize various forms of social capital?
How is managerial social capital developed and deployed in emerging market contexts? How do its forms, antecedents and consequence vary across national contexts?
How do the various forms of managerial social capital developed by firms in emerging economies affect their entrepreneurial activities and growth strategies?
How do the various forms of managerial social capital developed by firms in emerging economies affect their internationalization strategies?
We hope you can join us for what promises to be a lively and thought provoking workshop.
