Containing, embracing and hyper-activating Britishness: British-based foreign-owned firms
研究了基于英国的外资企业如何通过所有权特征影响财务承诺和战略控制,揭示这些企业如何包容并超激活英国性,对理解英国资本主义的动态发展有参考价值。
There are in the UK ownership forms different to the characteristics of Britishness – British-based foreign-owned firms where dominant owners may have differentiated control interests. These may contain, that is, override, national institutional characteristics embedded in a particular national capitalism. Accordingly, separating the agency of these firms from presumed business system structures may reveal how diverse patterns of firm ownership – those associated with British-based foreign-owned firms – can inform dynamic ownership developments in British capitalism which contain and hyper-activate Britishness. The article theorizes British-based foreign-owned firms and provides empirical detail on how ownership characteristics influence financial commitment and strategic control in 10 of these firms.
