IBM's Tiny Peripheral: Finland and the Tensions of Transnationality
研究了IBM芬兰子公司如何作为小国分支同时融入芬兰本土与IBM全球网络，其发展深受冷战时期芬兰独特地缘政治位置的影响，并揭示了IBM内部机制与欧盟结构的相似性。
IBM Finland, a small national subsidiary, was at once a Finnish business and an interface to much larger networks of technological innovation and knowledge sharing. We contextualize its development within a nested set of institutions and identities: IBM's Nordic operations, its European business, and its World Trade Corporation. Its development was profoundly shaped by Finland's unique geopolitical position during the Cold War. IBM's internal structures anticipated and paralleled those of the European Union, with mechanisms for international cooperation, for the creation of transnational identities, and for the resolution and regulation of disputes between national subsidiaries.
