A major development in recent research on the multinational
enterprise (MNE) is the increased attention given to the
interdependent, differentiated roles of the subsidiaries and their
implications for MNE and subsidiary management. Paralleling this
development is the shift away from studying subsidiaries as
subunits to be controlled by the headquarters to investigating what
subsidiaries do and how their activities can help develop
firm-specific advantages. This volume includes contributions from
leading scholars in the field from North America, Europe, and
Asia-Pacific. Different from the traditional, single-discipline
based investigation, it presents a multi-disciplinary approach to
researching subsidiary dynamics and its effective management, with
a focus on three important issues: the role of the headquarters
within the context of subsidiaries as members of a differentiated,
interdependent network; the development of subsidiary capabilities
and their impact on firm performance; and, subsidiaries as learning
agents for the MNE, particularly in emerging markets such as China.
State and private employers in New South Wales recognised the
convicts' previous occupations, and employed a large proportion of
them in the same occupations they had held at home. The women
convicts - often classified as prostitutes - in fact brought a
range of occupational skills equally as important for the economic
development of Australia as those of the male convicts. Once
settled in Australia, the convicts consumed a diet, and experienced
housing, superior to that received by free men and women at home.
The organisation of their work was not very different from that in
Britain and Ireland and, while cruel treatment did exist, the
likelihood of numerous floggings during their term of sentence is
shown to be a myth. Convict workers is a study in comparative
history, noting the resemblances and the contrasts with indentured
labour, slavery and punitive communities elsewhere. By illuminating
the contribution of the convict workers to Australia's economic and
social development.

Lauded for gallantry at Antietam and demoted for insubordination
after Fredericksburg, Major General William "Baldy" Smith remains a
controversial figure of the Civil War. His criticism of the Union
high command made him unpopular with both peers and superiors. Yet
his insight as an officer and an engineer enabled him to offer
effective solutions to challenges faced by fellow generals. In this
first comprehensive biography, Smith emerges as a field commander
with deep concern for his men and a fearless critic of the failures
of the Union generalship, who was recognized for a strategic
perspective that helped save Federal armies.
