Community formation in frontier Mexico: accepting and rejecting new migrants

Article Abstract:

Village formation in the southeast Campeche region of Mexico has been studied through a comparison of the communities Orozco and Tejeda. How ethnicity, family and social strife determine the compatibility of newcomers with the farmers are examined. The roles played by economic stratification, village factionalism and development programs in structuring acceptance into the village have also been assessed. Southeast Campeche is located in the Yucatan Peninsula and has an estimated population of 15,000 people made up of migrants from ethnic groups all over Mexico. Results indicated that factionalism and social rules determine community formation in rural Mexico.

Generating reflexivity from partnership formation: a phenomenological reasoning on the partnership between a Japanese pharmaceutical corporations and western laboratories

Article Abstract:

A study has been conducted to discuss analyze unexpected by-products of failure in an international business partnership between a Japanese pharmaceutical company and western laboratories. Corporations are believed to enter into international partnerships to adapt to the fact-paced market dynamics. One of the possible reasons for the failure of this strategic alliance was Japan's overall attitude towards scientists. Since the pharmaceutical industry is primarily run by laboratory scientists, the difference in attitudes regarding the treatment of scientists in Japanese companies could have been the root of the failure.
