“…While not statistically significant, an additional clear difference was noticed between the two groups, with a higher percentage of Spanish participants considering a substantial increase in trade barriers and in bureaucracy, due to new rules and regulations to export to the United Kingdom (Table ). This concern is in line with recent literature, which highlights the potential of newly erected tariff barriers between the United Kingdom and EU (Sampson, ), especially in the case of a “hard Brexit” (Menon and Fowler, ).…”

This exploratory study proposes a conceptual framework based on the dynamic capabilities approach (DCA) to advance the understanding of firms' responses to turbulence, illustrated by the Brexit phenomenon. The case of wine producers is examined, with a particular focus on perceived impacts of and responses to Brexit among wineries predominantly involved in exports.Data from 281 mainly micro and small exporting Italian and Spanish winery firms were gathered.Various differences emerged in how both groups of businesses perceived Brexit's impacts, and how they planned to respond. Some of these ways revealed principles associated with the DCA, such as possessing critical organizational resources, notably, tangible, intangible, and human to create capabilities. Furthermore, while various comments denoted indecisiveness and uncertainty, others underscored the vital need to exploit opportunities through engaging with new international consumer markets. Overall, the proposed framework facilitates an in-depth understanding of winery entrepreneurs' strategic behavior in response to turbulent situations.

“…Given the national and global contexts in which UK universities operate, and the concerns over a hard Brexit (Fowler & Menon, 2016), this study has five main policy implications. First, although the study shows that 8.2% of the students surveyed are international students from EU and non-EU countries, the future of many UK institutions depend to a large degree on the extent to which they are able to recruit and retain international students after Brexit.…”

The motivation for this research was to explore the lived experience of joint honours students, for whom there is little in the literature at present. The objective was to critique primary data collected from the students via a self-administered questionnaire. This phenomenological methodology permitted and unfiltered view of the students' learning experiences to be explored. The research is based on a cross-university student survey, conducted over a period of six months. The online survey, which ran between June 2016 and January 2017, involved self-administered questionnaires designed to collect information on the learning experience of students on joint honours degrees, from four different Universities in England. A key finding of this paper is the need for university administrators to pay particular attention to joint honours degrees in their portfolios in the light of the growing and significant number of students opting to study these degrees and the general tendency amongst universities to focus attention on single honours degrees. Particular areas of concern are highlighted where students on joint honours degrees feel improvements in their educational experience could be made. The future scope of the survey results are discussed in

“…Between these two extreme options is a grey Brexit, which would allow the UK to maintain some level of relationship with the EU in various areas of trade, as governed by EU regulations. This would mean that the UK would have partial or no access, save for a form of cooperation with the EU-27 [30]. In a soft Brexit scenario where the UK retains preferential access to the IEM, it is unlikely that Brexit would significantly impact UK energy policies and security, as the current situation would continue.…”

This paper articulates the potential implications of Brexit on energy policy and security in the United Kingdom (UK). Given the uncertainties associated with the decision to leave the European Union (EU), the need to consider its potential effects on the UK's energy sector becomes even more pertinent. Through the lens of a few widely reviewed trade regimes in the light of Brexit, it can be observed that while UK energy policies are unlikely to change drastically, Brexit nevertheless threatens the UK's capacity to safeguard its energy supply. The uncertainties following Brexit could arguably starve the UK's upstream petroleum, electricity, and renewable energy sectors of their required investments. Both short and long-term impacts could result in UK residents paying more per unit of energy consumed in a "hard Brexit" scenario, where the UK exits the Internal Energy Market (IEM) and must trade with the EU under World Trade Organisation rules. While a hard Brexit could aid the growth of the nascent shale gas industry, a negotiated withdrawal that includes some form of access to the IEM (a "soft Brexit") would be more beneficial for the future of energy security in the UK.
