Expansion Strategies

This article aims to study how private European radio is becoming commercially international through the expansion of radio brands beyond their national market. It is the first ever analysis of the expansion strategies of radio groups across Europe, including their footprint in each market in which they operate, from the political economy of cultural industries. The article maps the main radio groups in Europe, analyses cross-national champions in depth and establishes three main types. This study shows that, thanks to the possibilities of a deregulated market, strengthening the role of the brand and the format, and the agreements with other groups, broadcasting radio has overcome the obstacles that, historically, hindered its cross-border expansion.

Transformational Management

Many companies worldwide are implementing and applying for registration for the ISO 9000 series of quality standards. This implementation has the same effect on an organization as any other process that is changing the methods, procedures, or the basic culture of the company. The management style necessary to make these changes successful is the same as that which is necessary for any other transformational process. If the correct management style is present, ISO 9000 implementation, and any other change being attempted, will be successful. Change can be accomplished without transformational management but the overall effect and the cost benefit will not be maximized. This transformational management is the most important element. The technical aspects (the ISO 9000 hows and whys) are just a matter of someone within the organization learning them and developing a plan and system for management. The correct management style to achieve change is the most difficult. Strategies need to be clearly defined and methods developed in order to control the projects. Roadblocks need to be clearly identified and action planned to compensate for any shortcomings.

The current research examines the cross-national relationship between income and gender inequality as well as their interconnected influences on both female and male homicide victimization. Using a sample of 127 heterogeneous countries, this research supports previous studies that economically stratified societies tend to have high levels of lethal violence. The study also finds that economically stratified societies tend to be male-dominated, which is also associated with increased violence against women as well as increased male-onmale violence.
