The chapter deals with the issue of diversity in society and changing markets combined with matters dealing with marketing strategies. The increasing diversity of the UK's ethnic population suggests that firms/organizations have a need to pay closer attention to the needs of different ethnic groups in order to generate value and competitive advantage in the marketplace. One way of understanding those needs involves, not only hiring competent ethnic personnel but allowing them to play substantive strategic management roles in the firm/organization. The paper highlights the opportunities and challenges of an ethnically heterogeneous workplace through illustrations in four industrial sectors in the UK. Consequently, a theory of practice is formulated for a successful outcome of, not only diaspora/ethnic businesses but other non-ethnic and large firms/organizations.

Over Time

The purpose of this chapter is to make the case that first a standard artificial neural network can be used as a general model of the information processing activities of the firm; second, to present a synthesis of Barr and Saraceno (2002, 2004, 2005), who offer various models of the firm as an artificial neural network. An important motivation of this work is the desire to bridge the gap between economists, who are mainly interested in market outcomes, and management scholars, who focus on firm organization. The first model has the firm in a price-taking situation. We show that increasing environmental complexity is associated with larger firm size and lower profits. In the second and third models, neural networks compete in a Cournot game. We demonstrate that they can learn to converge to the Cournot-Nash equilibrium and that optimal network sizes increase with complexity. In addition, we investigate the conditions that are necessary for two networks to learn to collude over time.

Firm Attributes

Firms often acquire other firms to source technology but it is unclear why they might assume such risk by buying before a product standard is established in their industry. We draw upon real options and dynamic capability theories of firm organization to develop an integrated framework that explains why firms might acquire early and which firms are more likely to do so. We develop propositions regarding certain firm attributes as predictors of acquisition timing relative to passage of a technology standard. We argue that from a real options perspective, the primary reason firms acquire early is related to the firm’s knowledge of the technology. However, attributes such as political influence in the standardization process, prior experience making acquisitions, and how the firm resolves uncertainty about the technical expertise of potential acquisition targets are capabilities that also enter the acquisition timing decision. We provide a model based on those propositions and address how it can be empirically tested.
