Purpose – This paper aims to explore how branding theory can be used to understand corporate real estate management's (CREM's) relationships with its customers. Specifically, the perspectives of CREM executives and customers are used to develop a statement of a CREM brand. Design/methodology/approach – A multiple case study approach from four industry sections that consist of telecommunications, logistic, retail, and education from an emerging real estate market (Malaysia) and a mature real estate market (Australia). CREM executives and CREM customers from each case were interviewed to obtain information on CREM within organisations. Findings – The findings indicate that CREM supports the business by managing organisations' strategic real estate resources as its brand. CREM executives focus more on the technicality of real estate functions, while CREM customers expect corporate real estate (CRE) to support their business functions. Research limitations/implications – A CREM brand is important to CREM relationship building with the targeted customers. Successful brand development is able to increase CREM visibility to customers and at the same time gain appreciation of its contributions to the organisations. Originality/value – This is the first study that investigates CREM from a branding perspective. The mechanism for communicating CREM contributions using branding helps to increase acceptance from the customers.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to document the corporate site selection and acquisition process in a Nigerian global system for mobile (GSM) communication company, using a case study approach.Design/methodology/approachThe study integrates a literature review and a case study. The researcher made use of semi‐structured interviews to obtain information about the process of site selection and acquisition from the personnel of the property management department (property managers/SAQ managers) of the studied organisation. Beside the interviews, there was a series of follow‐ups for further clarification through telephone conversation and e‐mail. On average, the interview took about 45 minutes with each respondent, aside from prior occasional discussions undertaken to obtain some data.FindingsData obtained indicated that the process of site acquisition follows the global trend of outsourcing of non‐core services by organizations to consultants who have the technical ability to handle such assignments. The case study also revealed an arrangement of successful collaboration between multinational companies and local/indigenous firms.Research limitations/implicationsThe approach is subject to data distortion as there is no yardstick for comparison in the industry.Practical implicationsThe study has major implications for real estate practice in Nigeria. Real estate practitioners need to acquire the technical ability to meet real estate/site acquisition service requirements of multinational companies. The profession also needs qualified and competent members who can compete favourably with their foreign counterparts, who have hitherto been providing site acquisition services for the foreign companies in their overseas branches.Social implicationsThe method of outsourcing breeds competitiveness for site acquisition service provision and enhances efficient service delivery. It helps indigenous contractors to favourably compete for jobs of international standard.Originality/valueThe study explores the case study approach to provide a guide for foreign investors towards meeting their real estate needs.

Abstract Blockchain technology has a great potential for improving public administration – its transparency and efficiency. It is also discussed as an instrument for reducing corruption and transaction costs. This paper discusses the potential use of block-chain technology in public administration. It is based on a case-study approach focusing on real estate registration in Kazakhstan. Particular attention is paid to identifying factors hindering the development of the blockchain technology. The paper indicates that the main barriers to further use of blockchain technology in Kazakhstan are insufficient legislation and also the complexity of the technical implementation of blockchain projects and integration with existing systems.

Migration Research

An ethnographic case study approach to understanding women’s actions and reactions to husbands’ emigration—or potential emigration—offers a distinct set of challenges to a U.S.-based researcher.  International migration research in a foreign context likely offers challenges in language, culture, lifestyle, as well as potential gender norm impediments. A mixed methods approach contributed to successfully overcoming barriers through an array of research methods, strategies, and tactics, as well as practicing flexibility in data gathering methods. Even this researcher’s influence on the research was minimized and alleviated, to a degree, through ascertaining common ground with many of the women. Research with the women of San Juan Guelavía, Oaxaca, Mexico offered numerous and constant challenges, each overcome with ensuing rewards.
