Postawiono tezę, że obecna sytuacja jest pośrednio skutkiem negocjacji, jakie odbywały się dziesięć lat temu pomiędzy Daewoo a stroną polską. Omówiono strategię i interesy Daewoo oraz sytuację i przygotowania strony polskiej. Przedstawiono kalendarium negocjacji z Daewoo i warunki umowy.

Research paper thumbnail of Does a Connection Exist Among National Culture, Alliance Strategy, and Leading Ict Firms’ Performance?

Currently, partnering is the one of the most effective ways to access a broad set of resources. In the ICT industry, we can observe a significant number of alliances, networks, and mergers and acquisitions. The contribution of this paper is to investigate how a contextual factor-namely, national culture-influences the alliance portfolio formation and a firm's performance. We also aim to contribute to the issue of alliance portfolio formation. First, the concepts of alliance portfolio and culture as an explanatory factor are elaborated upon and their relevance to the study discussed. Second, using a sample of 30 ICT leaders and 10,247 of their alliances, we explore the effect of alliance strategy on firms' performance as well as the connections among culture, firms' performance, and alliance strategy. The study confirms that, in a global ICT industry (i.e., the most dynamically changing and riskiest environment), weak alliances may increase a firm's performance more than strong, traditional strategic alliances. Culture may be used as one of the explanatory factors affecting firms' performance as well as firms' alliance strategies.

Design/methodology/approach-The study conducts a systematic literature review using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis methodology, and includes 675 papers analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. The former utilizes TIBCO Statistica. Furthermore, to define Industry 4.0, the authors reviewed 52 publications. Findings-Industry 4.0 is a multidimensional system of value creation that includes 42 groups of terms in management, organizational and business-related variables, 30 technological and manufacturing-related variablesclassified into seven categoriesand several interdependencies that co-occur between them. Practical implications-The analyses' outcomes are of high importance both for academia and industry practitioners, as the findings elucidate the meaning of Industry 4.0 and may be used as the basis of future research in management, production management, industrial organizations and other Industry 4.0-related disciplines. Regarding industrial companies, the publication serves as a compendium, and should support industrial businesses in the transition from traditional manufacturing into the Industry 4.0 era. Originality/value-This work's novelty and value is threefold: first, the paper introduces an Industry 4.0 definition framework based on the most popular publications in the field. Second, the paper identifies and presents Industry 4.0's common technologies and organizational variables via a systematic and current literature review. Finally, the paper extends the ongoing discourse on Industry 4.0. For the first time in this discipline, interdependences between identified Industry 4.0 variables are presented and discussed.
