“More like a Manifesto than a Curriculum”
Curriculum-making is always political and contentious. Kaiako, ākonga, whānau, subject associations, researchers, and politicians all have their own beliefs and knowledge shaping which knowledge counts. The subject of English is undergoing a global battle for the ‘correct’ pedagogy and content, which is playing out in Aotearoa New Zealand. In this collaborative commentary, literacy researchers, teacher educators, and English writing group contrib…

The purpose of this paper is to propose the Proactive Collaborative Conservation (ProCoCo) as a viable tool to accomplish this objective.

Size
This article defines micro, small‐, medium‐, and large‐sized firms using definitions from European, United States, and Asian laws. Micro, small, and medium firms are highly instrumental in the economic growth to a country as they make up the majority of a country's landscape and they have potential to grow into large firms. The difference between the types of firms and factors contributing to the growth in firm size are illustrated to depict the …

GKN is Britain's surviving top 50 company from 1905, a flourishing world top-player in automotive and aero components. This article traces 254 years of its development, domestically and internationally, drawing on corporate access and the author's worldwide field research since 1974, and three in-depth business histories including one by the co-author. Lessons confirm just some traits expected of successful 'Built To Last' (BTL) companies. Howeve…
The role of culture at different levels of analysis
The past few decades have seen a tremendous growth in work patterns that involve social actors from different cultural backgrounds interacting with one another, as shown by the increase in number and forms of international staff (Collings et al., 2007) or the rise in the formation of international joint ventures (Pothukuchi et al., 2002). Even actors whose scope of activity is limited to a domestic context are likely to be exposed to foreign cult…
Convergence of Management Practices in Strategy, Finance and HRM between the USA, Japan and Germany
The issue of convergence of management practices as between national business systems and cultures is contentious but important given increasing cross-continental cooperation and competition. This article investigates comparative practices in strategy, finance and human resource management in the USA, Japan and Germany. For strategy and finance we used field research in over 70 companies to gain access to top-level decisions; for HRM we surveyed …
The Impact of Diverse National Values on Strategic Investment Decisions in the Context of Globalization
This study examines the effect of diverse national values on strategic investment decision (SID) making in the context of industry globalization. Whilst previous single country studies of strategic decision making have highlighted the effect of variables such as uncertainty, environmental stability, competition intensity and organizational position, we argue that diverse national values are also critical, albeit tempered by convergence pressures …
