Emerging Markets are the primary source of growth for business in the 21st century. This makes an understanding of managing businesses in emerging markets a fundamental building block for competing in today's global economy. This book's approach is to identify key elements of the business systems and competition in emerging markets around the world, and then to look at competitive strategies of local and multinational companies going into and coming out of these countries. Specific focus is offered on a selection of countries/regions. These emphases should serve both researchers and managers interested in knowing more about managing firms in emerging markets in general and in specific countries in particular. The essays highlight the tension between local and global knowledge, that is, views of business that apply everywhere around the world versus views that are particular to emerging markets. The essays also explore the role of local and international firms operating in emerging markets within global value chains or production networks.

Most theories that seek to explain democratization look to changes in the economy as the precursor to significant political liberalization, locating the main causal factor in either severe economic crisis or rapid economic growth. In the Chinese context, by contrast, the Communist Party has extricated itself from the socialist social contract with the urban working class without losing its grip on political power. Moreover, China has maintained a rapid pace of economic growth for over twenty-five years without significant political liberalization. Comparative analysis of China's post-1978 reform policies yields insights both across types of socialist transition, comparing China with Eastern Europe and Russia, and across time, comparing China with other high-growth East Asian economies. A key factor in China's ability to reform the economy without sacrificing political control is the timing and sequencing of its foreign direct investment (FDl) liberalization. There are two key variables that are important to this comparative analysis: China's pattern of ownership diversification and China's mode of integration into the global economy. The article relates these two variables to the success of economic change without political liberalization, in particular, how FDI liberalization has affected relations between workers and the ruling Communist Party. “Reform and openness” in this context resulted in a strengthened Chinese state, a weakened civil society (especially labor), and a delay in political liberalization.

This paper analyzes the business-interests of agrarian companies, and studies the condition of the agricultural sector of Ukraine as a country. The paper shows the importance and significance of agrarian sector of economy, and also the necessity of harmonizing corporate interests with national interests. This study raises concerns over the conflict of interests between the state and large corporations that do business on their territory. The fundamental national priorities of the state were grouped to better understand the objectives of state governance. The research data that was used in this study shows the dynamics of development of Ukraine’s agrarian output and the degree of accumulation of land and means of production in private ownership. This shows that large Ukrainian agricultural companies can function as agents of economic force of the state on foreign markets through their exports. Ukrainian state therefore, has its own strengths and specialization in global economy. The power and might of the state on international arena depends on proper understanding and feasible use of its own resources. The prestige of Ukraine in the world has always been linked with a tremendous potential in the food industry and the production of agrarian goods. Hence, the Ukrainian state must assist in creation and functioning of Ukrainian transnational companies on both the local market and the foreign market, because the presence of large international companies promotes the economic strength and prestige of the host country. Therefore, it is hard to overestimate the importance of this research topic. The scientific and practical relevance of this study is proven, among other things, by the lack of sufficient research in the area of harmonization of national goals of the state and the transnational business-interests. It is oftentimes omitted or even avoided in science, academia and industry. On another note, this topic is not very pleasing to the governing authorities and business altogether, because society demands truth about the utilization of economic and natural resources of the state, as those resources are considered the property of society at large. Big business tends to minimize and whenever possible to avoid paying taxes, while maximizing the access to and use of the resources of the host countries. Finally, the paper ends with some suggestions on how to approach the problem of conflicting interests and how to improve the existing methods of dealing with it.

The article analyses the pedagogues’ experience in applying the model of integrated assistance to the child in school. The research involved 15 teachers responsible for coordination of the assistance to a specific child; the teachers represented three Lithuanian schools which have implemented the developed model. The pedagogues, as case coordinators, recorded the experience of implementation of the integrated assistance model in schools in their reflections. They’ve written down the reflections once per week in the form of a semi-structural electronic pedagogical diary. According to the analysis of the research data, in applying the integrated assistance model one of the major changes is the change in the learning motivation. The changes in learning motivation are related to changes in pupils’ learning outcomes, their involvement in the learning process, and school attendance. Pursuant to the research, self-esteem building is especially important for personality changes in children, and this ensured the increase of self-confidence. Improved relations between the child and his/her family and between the teachers and pupils were noticed in the relationship with the others. It is to be assumed that coordination of common actions of children, parents, teachers and other concerned assistance institutions had impact on the occurrence of these changes, as well as individualization of the assistance and anticipation of personal responsibility for a specific case management.
