The FFU-support research project ‘Outsourcing for Development’ (2006-2009) is still translated into publications, this time in an article in the international journal, Transnational Corporations Review (2011), and in a book, Strategies in Emerging Markets. A case book on Danish multinational corporations in China and India (2010, CBS Press). Both publications were co-authored with colleagues from CBDS/CBS.
Within the research field of the global automobile industry I made a study for UNIDO in 2010 of the impact of the global financial crisis on the automobile industry in developing countries. With VGR Chandran, University of Nottingham Malaysia, I made another study for the ILO on the Malaysian automobile industry with a special focus on labour market conditions and industrial relations. The ILO report was subsequently published in The International Journal of Automotive Technology and Management.
My research on labour organization in developing countries was strengthened through participation in several international conferences in Sydney 2009 (International Industrial Relations Research Association’s 15th World Congress), in London 2010 (Royal Geographical Society with Institute of British Geographers, panel on Global Production Network, Development and Labour), and in Seoul 2011 (Workshop on Varieties of Labour Movements in Asian-Pacific Region, Chung-An University). The conference papers are now under review in different international journals. Together with Rene Ofreneo, University of the Philippines, I made a chapter on labour markets in Southeast Asia to the anthology, The New Political Economy of Southeast Asia, edited by Rajah Rasiah, University of Malaya, and Johannes Dragsbæk Schmidt, Aalborg University.

Primary research areas

  • Globalisation, competitiveness and local firms in developing countries – the case of the global automobile industry.
  • Outsourcing and development (especially related to corporate social responsibility (CSR) and to internationalization of corporate research and development (R&D).
  • Trade unions in developing countries - International labour standards and conflicts between transnational corporations and trade unions in developing countries.
  • Methodology and philosophy of social science – critical realism and social constructivism.
