1. Learning Style Preferences and the Perceived Usefulness of E-Learning

Author

Mohr, Alexander Toni, Holtbrugge, Dirk, and Berg, Nicola

Abstract

This paper uses data gathered from 953 students to investigate how far individuals' preferences for a particular learning style are associated with the perceived usefulness of e-learning. Our findings reveal the effect of individuals' learning styles as well as their gender and professional experience on the perceived usefulness of different forms of e-learning. The study's findings enhance our understanding of the usefulness of different e-learning tools from a learner perspective and thus have implications for curriculum design. The study also contributes to the empirical basis on the relevance of learning styles in the design of virtual learning environments. (Contains 2 tables and 1 figure.)

Subjects

Abstract

The Nürnberg Metropolitan Region is one of the most powerful economic regions in Europe. Several large and renowned multinational corporations, as well as many impressive family-owned firms and hidden champions, have their headquarters here.This volume contains 17 case studies of companies based in this region and their international operations. The scope reaches from the early internationalization strategies of the Tucher in the Middle Ages to the con­sequences of the Brexit on current business activities. The case studies cover an extensive range of industries, from high-tech and industrial sectors to service providers, non-profit organizations and university spin-offs. / International management research has a long tradition in Nürnberg. At the Nürnberg School of Commerce, the predecessor of the School of Business and Economics at the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg, dealing with international business activities already played a strong role. Eventually, the school would become one of the first in the German-speaking countries where a Chair for International Management was founded. With 30% of all students coming from abroad, the school presents a strong degree of internationalization. Furthermore, research in the field of international management enjoys an outstanding reputation. With the Nürnberg Edition on International Management, we would like to build on this longstanding tradition and present the latest research findings to academics, students and practitioners.

In the main part of this paper the results of this study will be presented and discussed. The paper ends with a critical assessment and some major implications for future studies.

13. Consequences of transnational strategies for IHRM practices. Evidence from German MNCs

Author

Holtbrugge, Dirk, Mohr, Alexander T., Holtbrugge, Dirk, and Mohr, Alexander T.

Abstract

This paper analyses the consequences of multinational corporations’ (MNCs) move towards integrated transnational networks (ITNs) which leads to an increase in the interdependency of organizational entities. We suggest that this increased interdependency requires new ways of coordination that change the nature of international human resource management (IHRM) practices in MNCs. In this paper, we present a framework that addresses these effects and empirically test it using data from a questionnaire survey among 142 overseas subsidiaries of German MNCs. The findings suggest that shifts towards integrated transnational networks have consequences for the use and design of a number of IHRM instruments. We conclude by discussing the implications of our findings for IHRM practitioners and scholars.
