Abstract: Whereas time has been integral to organizational research since late 1950s, its role in organizations has changed considerably up to the present. The last 20 years have witnessed an acceleration in temporal foci and a major development has been the introduction and operationalization of the philosophy of time in organizational research. The changing role of time in organizational research over the past decades is discussed as a basis for developing the theoretical framework, which is the main contribution of the book (time-as-experience, time-as-resource, time-as-events, and time-as-practice). The chapter discusses how works on time and organization may be synthesized into the four dimensions of the framework. The review also reveals how dichotomies that dominate in time research may be questioned or overcome.

Geopolitical jockeying: Economic nationalism and multinational strategy in historical perspective
Abstract: Research summary: We explore multinational strategy formation in the context of rising economic nationalism. Specifically, we examine how firms develop strategies to capitalize on the historical and aspirational attributes of national identity. Analyzing the histories of two German multinationals in late colonial India, we find that these firms engaged in “geopolitical jockeying” to delegitimize rival multinationals and position themselves as complementary to the economic and political goals of the host nation. Toward that end they employed “aspirational political practices,” addressing the inherently future-oriented character of nationalism, and invested in the development of political capabilities to gather information and shape perceptions of national contexts. The paper contributes to a more robust conceptualization of nations and nationalism and their role in the formation of international competition and strategy.
