This book examines the emergence of a culture of migration through
outward migration as a country-specific phenomenon and analyzes it
from different perspectives, covering various aspects such as the
history of a country, its migration flows, migration push factors,
social, economic, and political issues, as well as individual
values. In the first part, the authors present a theoretical
background on migration culture formation. This is followed by an
in-depth analysis of migration culture in Lithuania in the second
part. The presented case study is based on a quantitative survey
study of almost 5.400 respondents. Further, the results of this
case study are compared and adapted to other classical migration
countries in the European Union, such as Spain or Portugal. The
book, therefore, is a must-read for everybody interested in a
better understanding of migration and the emergence of a culture of
migration in different countries.
This book draws on a neo-institutional theory to characterize
service-oriented manufacturing firms in relation to more familiar
organizational forms, such as lean and agile. It sheds light on
whether being lean is a prerequisite for agile organizations and
whether agile organizations are precursors of service-oriented
organizations. The book empirically examines the prevalence of such
organizations using representative samples of manufacturing firms
in an industrialized country. This approach makes it possible to
"zoom in" and determine whether the extent of adoption of digital
manufacturing innovations, digital services, and service-oriented
business models varies with organizations' size, industry, product
complexity, lot size, type of design process, and type of
manufacturing process. In turn, it shows which digital
manufacturing innovations, lean practices, and services contribute
to leanness-related performance capabilities like quality and
costs; agility-related capabilities like fast delivery, flexibility
and innovation; and service-oriented capabilities like high service
performance and digitalization. In addition, it explores the
question of whether lean, agile, and service-oriented performance
capabilities contribute to financial performance separately or
jointly.
