MMTC Research Seminar

Mart Ots will present a seminar based on his paper entitled “Picturing markets: Observables and representational practices in the making of an Influencer market”.

Drawing on a social media data set covering a dramatic episode in the formation of the Swedish Influencer market, the paper explores the ‘observables’ being produced – representing alternative visualizations of what the market is, and how it functions. The paper suggests that observables play an important role in the shaping of nascent markets.

Assistant Professor of Entrepreneurhsip Issam Mejri from IPAG Business School, France will present a paper entitled: International Opportunity development by family firms in emerging markets. 

Seminar #10 – December 9, 2020 – 12:00 CET

Abstract: This study explains how family firms recognize  international opportunities in emerging economies during institutional transition. It enriches our understanding of how family firms from well-established economies mobilize entrepreneurial resources to develop international opportunities when they confront the turbulent institutional environment of emerging economies.  We use the opportunity-based approach and an exploratory case study to explore the role of social capital, knowledge development and family involvement in the development of international opportunities. In this context, International market entry is conceptualized as an entrepreneurial act, opportunity recognition consists of both discovery as well as deliberate search. Finding suggests that opportunity recognition behavior will influence the entry mode choice into emerging economy markets. We emphasize that family firms that accidentally discover opportunities will be more inclined to use the IJV as a mode of entry into these distant markets. For family firms, mobilizing external business networks in local and hosting country is an important source of the knowledge necessary to recognize first international opportunities. The findings suggest also that family involvement is an important factor that influence the development of international opportunity.

Title of the lecture

Operations and Supply Chain Management - Research and Education for Impact

Abstract

The competitiveness of Swedish industries is highly dependent on the customer satisfaction and to deliver the products and services that the customers require. The competitiveness in turn is dependent on the ability to balance the sometimes contradicting goals of shortening the delivery lead time and increasing the possibility of adaptations and customizations. In order to be competitive, this requires efficient and succinct communication with customers in order to capture the customer order specific information. This information has to both be communicated internally at the manufacturer as well as transferred externally to suppliers. In this lecture I will present insights from collaborative research on customization and communication. I will also highlight the importance of collaboration, both between actors in the supply chain and between industry and academia in order to increase competitiveness and to realize impact.
