Publications Database

Welcome to the new Schulich Peer-Reviewed Publication Database!

The database is currently in beta-testing and will be updated with more features as time goes on. In the meantime, stakeholders are free to explore our faculty’s numerous works. The left-hand panel affords the ability to search by the following:

  • Faculty Member’s Name;
  • Area of Expertise;
  • Whether the Publication is Open-Access (free for public download);
  • Journal Name; and
  • Date Range.

At present, the database covers publications from 2012 to 2020, but will extend further back in the future. In addition to listing publications, the database includes two types of impact metrics: Altmetrics and Plum. The database will be updated annually with most recent publications from our faculty.

If you have any questions or input, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Abstract This commentary is a response to a recent article by Gómez-Villegas and Larrinaga: an article that uses some of our previously published research to argue that the [further] opening of the Latin American critical accounting research communities will lead to a renewed colonization of local knowledges. Our commentary concurs that there is a very real risk that academic publishing processes will exacerbate the colonization of academic knowledge production in the South. At the same time, we suggest that Gómez-Villegas and Larrinaga’s focus on the research activities of individual scholars is misplaced since it is the commercial activities of large, academic publishers that are driving these colonization processes. Furthermore, we propose that the authors’ analysis perpetuates a Ladino version of internal colonialism where indigenous peoples and other marginalized communities are simultaneously erased yet represented as ignorant and unable to think. We conclude by affirming Rigoberta Menchú’s statement that the only way to confront injustice and advocate for positive social change is to work collectively and to fight against all forms of neocolonial practices.

Abstract Research Summary - We analyze a novel way to configure and manage multinational networks and propose a model of “co‐parenting,” characterized by the sharing of parenting roles and distribution of responsibilities between two units. We develop our argument around the notion of the springboard subsidiary, an operating subsidiary that assumes headquarters’ functions since it shares greater institutional closeness with both the headquarters’ country as well as with the host region. Based upon qualitative data, our inductive model revolves around three stages: establishment, consolidation, and maturity, each of which reflects distinct roles and loci of decision making among the three actors involved: headquarters, springboard subsidiary, and local subsidiary. Overall, our study sheds distinct light on when and how headquarters add value by matching parenting to context. Managerial Summary In expanding across regions, multinational firms often face a situation where neither the local unit nor the corporate headquarters possesses the competencies to be at the competitive forefront. This article analyzes a model of interregional expansion of multinational firms by using springboard subsidiaries—operating subsidiaries that can serve as a bridge between headquarters and local subsidiaries since they share institutional and business ties with both. We develop a model in which some parenting functions—coordination, control, and knowledge creation—are distributed between headquarters and the springboard subsidiary along an accumulative process of capabilities. By demonstrating how a springboard subsidiary can help align control to context, the model offers a tool for strategic analysis that helps avoid potential value destruction by headquarters.
