The world is witnessing profound change. The economic and
geopolitical dominance of the West is being increasingly challenged
by the rapid emergence of several developing countries, most
conspicuously Brazil, Russia, India and China. The West is also
struggling with a financial crisis and the near impotence of
traditional policy tools to rekindle growth. How should firms
respond? How must International Business scholars change their
thinking to both reflect and explain these epochal changes? What
advice can they give hard-pressed governments? This volume contains
papers which grapple with this challenging agenda. They consider
three key themes: How can better understanding of institutions and
culture help give analytical grip? How do and should firms adjust
their strategies to cope with processes which operate at a range of
spatial scales from the very local to the global? How best do firms
place themselves both in physical location and within often complex
global networks?
The book has complete coverage of the fieldwork research process;
how to understand and do. With extensive learning features
throughout, it will help students to delve into fieldwork within
social research in much greater detail. A step-by-step
introduction to successful fieldwork, this guide will help you to
plan, design, conduct, and share your research. Packed with
practical tools and real-world examples, it includes:
·       Field tested
checklists for each stage of your research,
·       A glossary with
key, highlighted terms
·       Postcards from
fieldwork experts providing global case studies
·       Further reading
that expands social theory into applied research,
·       Advice on
effective virtual research within digital and hybrid settings as
well face-to face fieldwork. Clear, pragmatic, and
multidisciplinary this is the perfect book to open your eyes,
ears, and minds to the world of fieldwork. Richard
Phillips is a Professor of Human Geography at the University
of Sheffield. Jennifer Johns is a Reader in International
Business at the University of Bristol.
The fields of Economic Geography and International Business share
an interest in the same phenomena, whilst each provides both a
differing perspective and different research methods in attempting
to understand those phenomena. The Routledge Companion to the
Geography of International Business explores the nature and scope
of inter-disciplinary work between Economic Geography and
International Business in explaining the central issues in the
international economy. Contributions written by leading specialists
in each field (including some chapters written by
inter-disciplinary teams) focus on the nature of multinational
firms and their strategies, where they choose to locate their
activities, how they create and manage international networks and
the key relationships between multinationals and the places where
they place their operations. Topics covered include the
internationalisation of service industries, the influence of
location on the competitiveness of firms and the economic dynamism
of regions and where economic activity takes place and how
knowledge, goods and services flow between locations. The book
examines the areas for fruitful inter-disciplinary work between
International Business and Economic Geography and sets out a road
map for future joint research, and is an essential resource for
students and practitioners of International Business and Economic
Development.
Diese Anthologie versammelt 15 Beiträge internationaler Autorinnen
und Autoren, die sich mit Fragen der Einschreibung und
Institutionalisierung von Gender Studies in der Disziplin
Kunstgeschichte auseinander setzen. Diskutiert werden einerseits
die kunsthistorische Kanonbildung und die Möglichkeiten des
Zugangs von Künstlerinnen in das Kunstsystem. Anderseits werden
transgressive, hybride Bilder von «Weiblichkeit» und
«Männlichkeit» von der frühen Neuzeit bis in die Gegenwart
untersucht sowie neuere Ansätze postkolonialer und queerer Theorie
vorgestellt. Ce volume rassemble 15 contributions d’auteur-e-s de
réputation internationale qui abordent la question de
l’inscription et de l’institutionnalisation des études genre
dans la discipline de l’histoire de l’art. La constitution des
canons artistiques, tout comme les possibilités d’accès des
femmes au système artistique sont analysées. Par ailleurs, les
représentations hybrides et transgressives de la « féminité »
et de la « masculinité » sont interrogées de la Renaissance
à nos jours, ainsi que les apports des études
post-coloniales et queer. Written by authors of international
repute, the 15 articles compiled here address the inscription and
institutionalisation of gender studies in the field of art history.
They analyze the formation of art-historical canons and the
possibilities for women of accessing the art system. Moreover, they
explore transgressive, hybrid images of «femininity» and
«masculinity» from the early modern times to the present. Recent
approaches in post-colonial and queer theory are also discussed.
Presents papers which grapple with some of the most important
developments and challenges in International Business, both for the
firms who must fashion strategy within a rapidly changing world
economic order and researchers who seek to explain the nature of
these shifts and how firms respond.

"A highly readable and superbly fun guide to the why and how of
doing fieldwork in human geography... I recommend it highly to any
geographer-wannabes and practicing-geographers. The latter group,
including myself, might well rediscover the fun of doing
geography." - Professor Henry Yeung, National University of
Singapore "An excellent introduction to the art and science of
fieldwork. It makes clear that fieldwork is not just about getting
out of the classroom and gaining first-hand experience of places,
it is about instilling passion about those places." - Professor
Stuart C. Aitken, San Diego State University "An indispensible
guide to fieldwork that will enrich the practice of geography in a
myriad of different ways. In particular, the diverse materials
presented here will encourage students and academics alike to
pursue new approaches to their work and instil a greater
understanding of the conceptual and methodological breadth of their
discipline." - Professor Matthew Gandy, University College London
"If fieldwork is an indispensable component of geographical
education then this book is equally essential to making the most of
fieldwork...This book gives students the tools to realise the full
potential of what, for many, is the highlight of their geography
degree." - Professor Noel Castree, Manchester University Fieldwork
is a core component of Human Geography degree courses. In this
lively and engaging book, Richard Phillips and Jennifer Johns
provide a practical guide to help every student get the most out of
their fieldwork. This book: Encourages students to engage with
fieldwork critically and imaginatively Explains methods and
contexts Links the fieldwork with wider academic topics. It looks
beyond the contents of research projects and field visits to
address the broader experiences of fieldwork: working in groups,
understanding your ethical position, developing skills for learning
and employment and opening your eyes, ears and minds to the wider
possibilities of your trip. Throughout the book, the authors
present first person descriptions of field experiences and
predicaments, written by fieldtrip leaders and students from around
the world including the UK, Canada, Singapore, Australia and
Africa.
