Success Strategies and Knowledge Transfer in Cross-Border
Consulting Operations analyzes the international operations of
consulting firms. Apart from developing a theoretical framework
which differs from traditional theories about international trade,
the main issues analyzed in this book are: 1) Success determinants
when tendering for international consulting contracts; 2) The
choice between exports, acquisition of a local firm or establishing
a greenfield office when entering foreign markets; 3) The extent
and nature of knowledge transfer to emerging markets; 4) The role
of development agencies in international consulting projects; 5)
The trend towards, and consequences of, more management services
included in international projects; 6) The effects on competition
when state-owned consulting firms are allowed to operate in the
international market. The empirical analysis of these issues is
based on a unique database of individual tender documents which
Swedish consulting firms have submitted abroad.
Radiation therapy has developed and advanced dramatically in the
last few decades. However, very little has been published or done
in the area of biologically optimized treatment planning.
Development of Biologically Optimized Radiation Therapy aims to
fill and close an important gap in the literature with a
well-focused and in-depth content. The book covers the biological,
physical and clinical background of advanced biologically based
radiation therapy optimization with focus on modern radiation
therapy modalities such as electron, photon and light ion therapy.
Highly recommended for its strong interdisciplinary profile, the
book contains a meritorious compilation of previously unpublished
materials in many areas of modern science. Undergraduates,
researchers and practitioners such as oncologists, medical
physicists and radiation biologists alike should find the book
immensely informative and comprehensively thorough.
Going beyond traditional studies of foreign direct investment this
book uses data from Swedish multinationals to describe, interpret
and analyse issues which are normally difficult to investigate.
