The inventive process is the most important driver of economic
growth. Venture capital (VC) funds have contributed a small, but
critical, part to the inventive process. VC funds boost the
inventive process by selecting a small number of radical ideas out
a large flow of ideas and invest in their testing, development and
commercialization. They bring together capital from general
savings, management capabilities and business experience. When
successful, VC-backed companies can contribute substantially to the
welfare of society. In this book, VC funds are discussed in the
context of macroeconomics, industrial organization, financial
intermediation and financial economics. The authors adopt a
comprehensive overview to provide clearer insight into the role of
VC funds in the capital market and the way they operate.
This book provides a bridge between actual, and expected, U.S.
trade policies and the financial, marketing, operational,
organizational, and strategic aspects of corporate business policy.
It grew out of the first annual International Business Education
and Research Program (IBEAR) Research and Management Workshop held
at USC. Individual papers were written by different authors and
have been heavily edited by Professors Agmon and Hekman who have
also added a general introduction, introductions to the parts, and
linking sections between chapters. This book is the only source for
the ideas it presents since the papers have not, and will not, be
published elsewhere.
This important collection examines the means by which technological
knowledge is transferred from countries that develop it to those
who need it. Written by well-known authorities and derived from a
conference held at the University of California and sponsored by
IBEAR (International Business Education Research Program), the
contributions focus on the transfer of technology from Western
countries to Asian countries.
As large firms move into international markets, smaller firms find
it increasingly difficult to compete internationally. This book
explores the nature of the international market for smaller firms
and discusses ways that they can compete and use their unique
competitive advantages in the global markets. The chapters examine
niche markets that do not require economies of scale and ways of
rethinking the relationship between local and global markets. Tamir
Agmon and Richard L. Drobnick also explore the need to design new
control systems across borders that recognize local norms and the
new accounting systems that have developed based on differing
country environments.
It is generally known that the United States, a large country,
has spawned business corporations that transcend international
boundaries--"multinationals." What is not generally known is that
many smaller countries are rapidly following suit--they too are
opening and expanding international operations for their own local
firms. This book is the first organized effort by scholars to deal
with non-American international corporations as a general
phenomenon.Initially presented at a colloquium devoted to the
subject held at MIT in January 1976, these seven essays bring to
light the relatively unpublicized international activities of firms
originating in a number of geographically and economically diverse
smaller countries.
