A new breed of multinational companies is reshaping competition in global industries. For most of the 19th and 20th centuries, multinational firms came from the most technologically advanced countries in the world. Over the last two decades, however, new multinational firms from upper-middle-income economies (e.g. Spain, Ireland, Portugal, South Korea, and Taiwan), developing countries (e.g. Egypt, Indonesia, and Thailand), and oil-rich countries (e.g. United Arab Emirates, Nigeria, Russia, and Venezuela) have become formidable global competitors. These firms do not necessarily possess technological or marketing skills. In contrast to the classic multinationals, they found strength in their ability to organize, manage, execute, and network. They pursued a variety of strategies including vertical integration, product diversification, learning by doing, exploration of new capabilities, and collaboration with other firms. This book documents this phenomenon, identifies key capabilities of the new multinationals, and provides a new conceptual framework to understand its causes and implications. 'The new multinationals are fundamentally different from old ones because they face entrenched multinational incumbents. Mauro F. Guillen and Esteban Garcia-Canal provide fascinating insights into how these new multinationals have nonetheless managed to emerge in a broad range of country contexts.' Pankaj Ghemawat, Anselmo Rubiralta Chair of Global Strategy, IESE Business School 'Spanish multinationals have shown the world that competitiveness is based on the innovation of an organizational and managerial kind. This book explains exactly how they have become global leaders in industries as diverse as wines, clothing, appliances, infrastructure, utilities, and banking.' Alvaro Cuervo, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Director of CUNEF and Board Member, ACS, BME and SONAE 'Over the last two decades, Spain has become a leading player in the world economy. In this book, Professors Guillen and Garcia-Canal document the business side of this success story....CONTINÚA

From one of the most respected economic thinkers and writers of our time a brilliant argument about the history and future of economic growth The years since the Great Crisis of 2008 have seen slow growth high unemployment falling home values chronic deficits a deepening disaster in Europe and a stale argument between two false solutions austerity on one side and stimulus on the other Both sides and practically all analyses of the crisis so far take for granted that the economic growth from the early 1950s until 2000 interrupted only by the troubled 1970s represented a normal performance From this perspective the crisis was an interruption caused by bad policy or bad people and full recovery is to be expected if the cause is corrected The End of Normalchallenges this view Placing the crisis in perspective Galbraith argues that the 1970s already ended the age of easy growth The 1980s and 1990s saw only uneven growth with rising inequality within and between countries And the 2000s saw the end even of that despite frantic efforts to keep growth going with tax cuts war spending and financial deregulation When the crisis finally came stimulus and automatic stabilization were able to place a floor under economic collapse But they are not able to b
