1	Export development indicators as potential segmentation tools : A quantitative study of Swedish SMEs in the tech field Bergström, Viktor, Bengtcén, Ansgar January 2017 (has links) The “stage model” is a criticized but well-used segmentation method for categorizing firms into different export development stages based on their perceived export barriers. However increasing presence of born global firms and lagging exports, particularly in the Swedish tech industry, require an updated segmentation tool. Export intensity, export experience and psychic distance to foreign customers are identified as alternative indicators of a firm’s perceived export barriers. The extent to which these variables can predict perceived export barriers of firms is tested. Collected data from 30 Swedish SMEs consisting of both born globals and traditional exporters within the tech field suggest that none of the three variables is a sufficient indicator of perceived export barriers on its own. Instead, each variable explains different export barriers to different degrees. The results indicate that each SME chooses its unique path of export development, making it difficult to establish a standardized stage model for modern SMEs.

3	Value Added by Venture Capitalists: The Case of EDC Rostamkalaei, Seyedeh Anoosheh 27 June 2013 (has links) It is generally well understood that venture capital (VC) is an important and significant source of financing for small firms. Questions revolving around the increased likelihood of a firm backed by Venture Capitalists (VCs) to be export oriented have yet to be fully explored. Responding to this research gap, a sample of Canadian VC backed firms is used to compare the performance of Canadian VC firms in terms of facilitating internationalization among their portfolio companies. The particular reference of this study is Export Development Canada (EDC), a crown corporation mandated to promote export among Canadian firms. This research finds that EDC as a VC investor and export-oriented consultant has no association with the increased probability of exporting. Also, stage of the investment does not show any relationship with internationalization. These results run contrary to previous speculation that syndication of VCs increases the probability of internationalization among portfolio firms.

8	“Accumulation by Dispossession” by the Global Extractive Industry: The Case of Canada Kinuthia, Wanyee 13 November 2013 (has links) This thesis draws on David Harvey’s concept of “accumulation by dispossession” and an international political economy (IPE) approach centred on the institutional arrangements and power structures that privilege certain actors and values, in order to critique current capitalist practices of primitive accumulation by the global corporate extractive industry. The thesis examines how accumulation by dispossession by the global extractive industry is facilitated by the “free entry” or “free mining” principle. It does so by focusing on Canada as a leader in the global extractive industry and the spread of this country’s mining laws to other countries – in other words, the transnationalisation of norms in the global extractive industry – so as to maintain a consistent and familiar operating environment for Canadian extractive companies. The transnationalisation of norms is further promoted by key international institutions such as the World Bank, which is also the world’s largest development lender and also plays a key role in shaping the regulations that govern natural resource extraction. The thesis briefly investigates some Canadian examples of resource extraction projects, in order to demonstrate the weaknesses of Canadian mining laws, particularly the lack of protection of landowners’ rights under the free entry system and the subsequent need for “free, prior and informed consent” (FPIC). The thesis also considers some of the challenges to the adoption and implementation of the right to FPIC. These challenges include embedded institutional structures like the free entry mining system, international political economy (IPE) as shaped by international institutions and powerful corporations, as well as concerns regarding ‘local’ power structures or the legitimacy of representatives of communities affected by extractive projects. The thesis concludes that in order for Canada to be truly recognized as a leader in the global extractive industry, it must establish legal norms domestically to ensure that Canadian mining companies and residents can be held accountable when there is evidence of environmental and/or human rights violations associated with the activities of Canadian mining companies abroad. The thesis also concludes that Canada needs to address underlying structural issues such as the free entry mining system and implement FPIC, in order to curb “accumulation by dispossession” by the extractive industry, both domestically and abroad. natural resources raw materials global extractive industry mining accumulation by dispossession primitive accumulation resource curse free, prior, and informed consent (FPIC) consultation free entry Bill C-300 Omnibus Bill self-determination madaraka land grabs governance gap enforcement vacuum regulatory gap landlessness involuntary resettlement displacement liberalization financial markets capitalism International Monetary Fund (IMF) Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Impact and Benefits Agreement (IBA) corporate social responsibility (CSR) international political economy (IPE) Washington Consensus Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) sustainable development rare earth oil fossil fuels Whitehorse Mining Initiative (WMI) foreign direct investment (FDI) privatization neoliberal / corporate globalization Northern Gateway pipeline project Ring of Fire centre-periphery metropolitan-hinterland Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Extractive Industries Review (EIR) Sub-Saharan Africa war on terror terrorists false flag terrorism Fisheries Act Navigable Waters Protection Act primary goods aid Third World debt free trade modernization dependency tariffs trade barriers HudBay home country liability state Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) spatio-temporal fix militarism Sudbury Atlantic Canada Crown neo-colonialism industrial revolution imperialism public policy democracy justice Export Development Corporation (EDC) Kimberley Process Mining Association of Canada equity austerity measures Mining Act reforms proletariat aboriginal Least Developed Countries (LDCs) developing country comparative advantage human rights export-led development Tiomin Government of Kenya Government of Canada Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) World Bank Group (WBG) World Trade Organization (WTO) Bill C-38 Bill C-45 Assembly of First Nations (AFN) Idle No More meaningful participation AFRICOM titanium Base Resources Australia House of Commons conditionalities Structural Adjustment Programmes (SAPs)
