With intensified global competition, institutional changes and reduced communication costs the propensity of firms to reconfigure their global value chain and separate their activities across national boundaries has increased markedly. It enables firms to combine the benefits arising from specialization and increased flexibility with location advantages. Consequently, large parts of manufacturing and other more standardized activities have been offshored to emerging countries. However, recent developments are challenging this traditional separation between advanced and emerging economies as host of knowledge- and production-intensive activities, respectively. Recent research has emphasized the role of intra-organizational relationships and links among the different parts of the value chain. Innovative and productive activities are affected by strong interdependencies and complementarities, and for some companies the co-location of R&D and manufacturing is critical for development and innovation. This volume will interest scholars in International Business, Economic Geography, Operations and Supply Chain Management, International Economics, and Political Science.

Free Download The Little Green Book: A Guide to Breaking up with Marijuana (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0CTBSM3HF | 2024 | 5 hours and 27 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 272 MB
Author: Michael Stratton
Narrator: Daniel Thomas May
The Little Green Book will assist marijuana users, their loved ones, and those working with them in considering change. Michael Stratton is a therapist who fell in love with marijuana. Gradually it began to eclipse his goals that he’d set for himself. Eventually he found it necessary to break up with marijuana. He began working with others who had faced the same dilemma, and then became trained by SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) in the latest evidence based practices in helping people change. Borrowing from practices as varied as several recent scientific studies, philosophy, and the Buddhist metaphor of The Hungry Ghost, the author weaves a rich tapestry for self-exploration and the possibility of change. Taking the middle path, not being anti-marijuana and in fact advocating for the legalization of cannabis, The Little Green Book avoids the controversies swirling around the politics of pot. This book is for the dissatisfied or curious user who wonders if their use of marijuana may have come in the way of their satisfaction with what life can offer. It will also assist those who care about cannabis users in their life. And it is an essential tool for therapists, counselors, teachers, doctors, and anyone in the helping professions who encounter marijuana users in their work.
