It discusses the specifics of companies operating in international markets, that carry out foreign direct investments, have representative offices, branches, subsidiaries and joint ventures abroad, as well as conduct international commercial operations. The authors interpret, clarify and verify the development trends and peculiarities of international companies in foreign markets. The methodological platform includes conceptual approaches to the study of the transnationalization of companies’ activities and theoretical provisions of international management. The research is based on UNCTAD and Orbis databases. Analysis of the largest companies reveals that there is an increase in the indicators characterizing their foreign activity. We study structural change in the largest corporations and, above all, a rise in the share of digital companies and...

Research paper thumbnail of Factors of Success and Failures of International Strategic Alliance

Proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Emerging Trends and Challenges in the Management Theory and Practice (ETCMTP 2019), 2020

Top management of many enterprises is aware of the need for interfirm integration. This article is devoted to the study of the characteristic features of one of the most prospective forms of economic companies' integration. Due to its growing flexibility in terms of contradictory economic trends and conditions strategic alliances need a deep study for solving main problems of their functioning. To this end the author provides the common definition of strategic alliance and distinguishes the key factors for success and failures of strategic alliances which can be practically used by managers for planning and in all the phases of life cycle of a strategic alliance.

A comparative analysis of existing management paradigms and methodological concepts of management was carried out, showed that the basic assumption that limits the development of management theory is the assumption that the organization is a closed system. In fact, none of the socioeconomic system can only be developed, but also exist without communion with the external environment. Authors think that a context-oriented management concept may be the answer to many questions to the management theory today.

Research paper thumbnail of Business Uncertainty As A Factor of A Corporate Strategy

Proceedings of the 2017 2nd International Conference on Politics, Economics and Law (ICPEL 2017), 2017

All attention is focused on how the organizational and economic structure of the company is changing and what economic effect this leads to. The obvious fact, however, is that changing the way a firm "enters" into its business space as a result of implementing a chosen development strategy simultaneously with intra-firm changes leads to shifts in the system of relations in its external environment, changing the conditions for the formation of the final value and the structure of the value chain as a whole. We believe that not the least role in determining the development strategy of the company is played by its desire to make achieving the target business result more definite. In this article, we would like to show how one can assess the change in the degree of uncertainty in the process of projecting corporate strategy.

We believe that the lack of understanding of that nature can lead to surprising results as regards its purposes and in terms of costs and an expected effect of these. To achieve the purpose, a taxonomic analysis of 10 known organizational forms the companies' integration was conducted, for which at the beginning it was required to justify the characteristics that distinguish one form from another and set their domain of definition. The work provides an explanation of the characteristics chosen for taxonomic analysis as well as an interpretation of their values. The results show that despite its apparent diversity all know organizational forms of integration tend to be classified in three types: cooperative, corporate and combination types of companies' integration. In the basis of such types of forming there are processes of business collaboration, concentration and combination correspondently.

Research paper thumbnail of GLOBALIZATION OF THE WORLD ECONOMY: FEATURES OF THE CURRENT STAGE

Economic and Social Development: Book of Proceedings; Varazdin : 27-36. Varazdin: Varazdin Development and Entrepreneurship Agency (VADEA). (May 10/May 11, 2019), 2019

The current stage of globalization is characterized by such a policy of several countries, which leads to the destruction of established economic ties, increased protectionism, sanctions wars, increased economic instability, and a general slowdown in GDP growth rates.
There is an increasing opinion expressed more often about the impasse of the globalization process and the advent of the de-globalization of the world economy. The authors set out to confirm or refute this point of view. At the beginning, it was analyzed the dynamics of the index of the globalization level of countries of the world (using the KOF Index of Globalization), reflecting the scale of integration of a country into the global political, economic and socio-cultural space according to its different components. Then there was an analysis of the distribution of benefits from globalization between countries. It was revealed that the largest companies today relate differently to their foreign direct investment, since the digital economy allows them to operate on a global scale and act on foreign markets with virtually no physical presence there, so the need for foreign assets to do business abroad is significantly reduced. New technologies lead to changes in the content of international business transactions, and completely new multinational business models are emerging.
The authors come to a conclusion that nowadays there is an obvious slowdown in globalization processes. However, it is temporary in nature and primarily concerns traditional assets, while transnational flows of new assets, caused by the 4th industrial revolution, are fundamentally strengthened.
It can be assumed that there is a new stage of globalization, where the driver is digital technology that fundamentally change the ideas and approaches to the placement of production forces in the world, seriously reformat the existing value chains, change the model and strategy of business development.
