Item Entry mode and subsidiary performance in emerging economics(Mustang Journals, 2011) Kamal, Md. ShawkatBased on Institutional Theory and the Resource Based View of the firm, this paper aims at finding a relationship between an MNC’s choice of entry mode and the subsequent performance of the subsidiaries. There is a serious lack of work in the international business literature that looks at the influence of entry mode on subsidiary performance. Thus looking at this issue merits attention. The paper specifically looks at the choice between a joint venture entry, and a wholly owned subsidiary based entry and provides a number of testable propositions.Item Survival during economic shock: the role of firm experience(Journal of State University of Bangladesh, 2010-07) Kamal, Sifat; Kamal, ShawkatBased on organizational ecology and other management theories, this paper aims at finding a relationship between organizational aging and firm survival during economic shocks. There is differing evidence on whether organizational aging has a positive or negative effect on firm survival. Thus looking at this issue, from an economic shock perspective, merits attention. After analyzing the existing literature, this study puts forward two propositions that might be used for further empirical research.Item Authorship in leading management journals: representation from Asian business schools(© 2010 Bangladesh Institute of Management, 2010-12) Kamal, Shawkat; Duc, Le Manch; Qi, ZhuThis study investigates the representation of works by authors of affiliated with Asian business schools in top management journals. The results did not indicate strong support for change in the representation of works by such scholars during the study period. Looking at the articles published in the top nine journals in the field of strategic management between the year 1999 and 2006, it was fond that scholars affiliated to Asian business schools having North American educational background were more productive compared to those having educational background were more productive compared to those having educational background from elsewhere. The findings also revealed that these scholars prefer to publish more in North America based journals when compared with European based journals; and having coauthors who are affiliated with North American business schools enhances the possibility of publication in top tier management journals.Item The economic impact of e-commerce(© 2005 BRAC University Journal, BRAC University, 2005) Hoq, Ziaul; Kamal, Md. Shawkat; Chowdhury, A H M Ehsanul HudaE-commerce has a significant impact on business costs and productivity. E-Commerce has a chance to be widely adopted due to its simple applications. Thus it has a large economic impact. It gives the opportunity for “boundary crossing” as new entrants, business models, and changes in technology erode the barriers that used to separate one industry from another. This increases competition and innovation, which are likely to boost overall economic efficiency.Item International acquisitions and the glabalization of firms from India(BRAC University, 2009-04-02) Delios, Andrew; Gaur, Ajai S.; Kamal, ShawkatItem Greenfield vs acquisitions: determinants of choice in emerging economies(BRAC Business School, BRAC University, 2009) Kamal, ShawkatThis paper aims at finding the determinants of entry mode choices for MNCs that enter emerging economy nations as wholly owned subsidiaries. Existing literature suggests that this area of international business literature is relatively understudied and reasons for conducting more research exist. In this paper, I test three hypotheses using a logistic regression model. More specifically, this paper looks at the role of contributed assets; and organizational learning and experience in determining the choice between greenfield entry and acquisitions. The results suggest that host country experience and past entry experience has an impact on the current entry mode choice.
