"The quality, originality and pioneering ideas contained in this remarkable publication perfectly reflect the outstanding scholar to whom this book is dedicated. I am convinced that Danny Van Den Bulcke would be pleased to read this book." Professor Dr Philippe Gugler, University of Fribourg & EIBA President. "This volume of Progress in International Business is dedicated to the late Danny Van Den Bulcke . it is a fitting tribute to an outstanding, cosmopolitan individual and pioneering academic of International Business Research. The volume covers the theory of the multinational enterprise, its governance, issues impacting on the firm from other institutions and cultural distance. It also has a focus on emerging country multinationals. The content of the volume is multifaceted in both subject matter and research methods so it perfectly mirrors the wide -ranging and humanistic approach of Danny Van Den Bulcke." Professor Peter J Buckley OBE, FBA, University of Leeds. "This volume provides a fitting tribute to the life and work of Danny Van Den Bulcke, a much loved and very widely respected international business scholar. Danny was a central figure in international business scholarship over the past 40 years, especially in Europe and in the developing world. Among his many contributions, this book reflects current thinking on the Van Den Bulcke themes of multinational enterprises, technology transfer and economic development; outward foreign direct investment, especially in the Chinese context and in emerging market economy conditions; and multinational parent-subsidiary relationships. The book includes a chapter that was co-authored by Danny himself, which quite appropriately touches on all these issues." Professor John Cantwell, Rutgers University.
