“…F o r P e e r R e v i e w 2 As emerging markets evolve, institutional structures tend to move from relationship based personal exchanges to those which are rule based and impersonal with third party enforcement. Therefore a fundamental difference between emerging and developed market economies is the existence in the latter of market supporting formal institutions (Alvi, 2012). This is not an exact dichotomy however and a particular economy may display both emerging and developed market characteristics.…”

Purpose The paper investigates the extent to which the institutional context impacts on strategic decision implementation in an emerging market. Previous studies of strategic decision making in emerging markets have not examined decision implementation. Given the changes in the world economy during the past decade, and in particular the growing importance of emerging market multinationals, this is an increasingly salient issue. Design/methodology/approach Questionnaires were delivered to general managers in all Jordanian publicly quoted industrial firms. A 53.7% response rate was achieved. The structure of the questionnaire built on earlier studies in developed markets and, in particular, Alexander’s (1985) seminal study. Findings The strategic decision implementation problems which are found in Jordan are similar to those found in developed economies. However, external shocks are a more important influence on strategic decision implementation that has been found to be the case in developed economies. The success of companies in the emerging market of Jordan is associated with the frequency and extent of their experience of strategic decision implementation problems. Formal strategic planning helps Jordanian firms to deal with these problems more effectively. Research limitations/implications It was difficult to explore some of the “why” questions related to the implementation of strategic decisions in the sampled firms since most respondents agreed to complete the questionnaire but not to be interviewed. Single, rather than multiple, respondents participated in the research. A larger sample size would be desirable, although the results are statistically robust. Practical implications The results will help managers to make and implement strategic decisions, both in the context of market entry and market maintenance, in the Middle East and in other emerging markets. Originality/value Context (institutional) factors are found to be less influential in the case of decision implementation than strategic decision making itself. This is the first study of the problems associated with the implementation of strategic decisions in Jordanian firms and one of the first in any emerging market.

The issue of Syrian asylum seekers and refugees has become an important problem since these asylum seekers started to cross our borders (April 2011). The aim of this study is to explore the perceptions of undergraduate sociology students towards Syrian asylum seekers and refugees. At this stage, a metaphor analysis will be done by taking into account whether these students took any course on being an asylum seeker or refugee. The participants of the study consist of 166 voluntary undergraduate sociology students who study at different universities in Ankara. The data was collected by the researchers through a demographic information form and metaphor analysis form in which there is an unfinished sentence as follows: "Syrian asylum seekers/ refugees are like … because… ." The participants are expected to fill in the blanks in this sentence. These data were analyzed by using content analysis. We followed five steps during the analysis of metaphors; (1) coding and sorting, (2) compiling sample metaphors, (3) developing categories, (4) testing validity and reliability, and (5) transferring data to pc. In the light of the gathered data, it was found out that the participants produced 60 valid metaphors on the concept of Syrian asylum seekers/refugees. At the end of the research, 8 conceptual Uzun, Z., & Özcan, E.

These categories were assessed by associating the participants with whether they took a course on being an asylum seeker and refugee or not. According to the results of the research, it was found out that for the "blame/stigmatization" and "having no homeland (belonging nowhere)" categories, taking no course was effective, while for the "confrontation with reality" category taking a course was more decisive in the production of metaphors..

“…Nonetheless, the findings have important practical implications for exporting firms operating from other developing countries. Despite variations, there exist similarities among a large number of developing countries in terms of variables important for export performance (Alvi, 2012;Tesfom and Lutz, 2006). First, most developing countries have complex regulatory system and underdeveloped institutions and structures supporting international operations (Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, 2014;Boso et al, 2012;Bianchi, 2010;Okhmatovskiy, 2010).…”

“…These are places where there are economically developed markets, good local business conditions, and greater resource availability. On the other hand, there is less research investigating the increasing role of these competencies in the developing economies contexts that are characterized by mostly SMEs, poor local business conditions, resource scarcity, and little international experience (Alvi, 2012;Boso et al, 2012).…”
