“…We examine contagion effects arising from contextual factors that may moderate the influence of an MFI's knowledge support to encourage entrepreneurship on the MFI's costs of operating at the BoP. For instance, FDI has been shown to play an important role in the economic development and national welfare of the recipient country (Hu & Jefferson, 2002; Meyer, 2004; Zhou, Li, & Tse, 2002), particularly in contexts with weak institutional markets (Stoever, 2005). Countries that are able to attract FDI can increase local productivity and quality of jobs, increase per‐capita income, and improve working conditions; all of which are indicative of a positive climate for investment and business.…”

Olfactory sensory axons navigate from the nasal cavity to the olfactory bulb and sort from among 1,000 different odorant receptor-expressing types to converge upon the same two or three glomeruli. To achieve this task during development, it is likely that multiple classes of regulatory molecules, including cell adhesion molecules, are involved. Cell adhesion molecules have been shown to be important in controlling axon guidance, fasciculation, and synapse formation. To gain further understanding of the involvement of adhesion molecules in olfactory circuitry development, we examined the dynamic and cell type specific expression of a novel protocadherin, PCDH20, in the olfactory system. PCDH20 is specifically expressed in newly differentiated olfactory sensory neurons and their axons during development. PCDH20 expression is down-regulated in the adult olfactory system, except in a small olfactory sensory neuron population. These small, discrete numbers of PCDH20-positive glomeruli in the adult olfactory bulb are consistently clustered in the ventral-caudal region in both male and female mice. However, adult males have higher numbers of PCDH20-positive glomeruli with a broader distribution, whereas adult females have fewer PCDH20-positive glomeruli with a more restricted distribution. The gender difference in PCDH20 expression may reflect olfactory receptor expression differences for gender-specific social discrimination.

“…One of the first policy effects of the event was to promote the Korean government to promptly open its door to MNEs by drastically changing its attitude towards FDI (Stoever, 2005). Consecutively, Korea has recently experienced a dramatic rise in FDI, and the inflow of foreign investments has significantly changed the business environment in the country.…”

“…Although the role of FDI in Korean economic development was minimal, the country achieved surprisingly fast economic growth, and thus it was often referred to as a Han-river miracle or an Asian tiger. However, the Asian crisis, which initially was triggered by the collapse of Thailand's currency, rapidly spread to other Asian countries, including Korea (Stoever 2005). The disappointment of foreign investors in the Korean economy yielded serious problems, such as collapse in share prices on the Seoul stock market, a significant increase in corporate bankruptcy, and the subsequent growth of unemployment.…”

This article examines the determinants of technology acquisition and performance in a sample of South Korean international acquisitions (IAs). Derived from the concept of absorptive capacity, determinants are identified as compatibility between acquiring and acquired firms, specifically organizational cultural compatibility, goal similarity, and business relatedness. The findings support the study's hypothesis that goal similarity and business relatedness positively influence technology acquisition. However, contrary to expectations, there is no support for the view that organizational cultural compatibility is positively related to technology acquisition. We also do not find support for anticipated positive relationships between organizational cultural compatibility, goal similarity, business relatedness, and IA performance. As anticipated, we do find support for the positive influence of technology acquisition on IA performance. The article suggests practical implications for managers and potential future research avenues.
