Sommario/riassunto

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Formal Concept Analysis, ICFCA 2009, held in Darmstadt, Germany, in May 2009. The 15 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 29 submissions for inclusion in the book. The papers comprise state of the art research and present new results in Formal Concept Analysis and related fields. These results range from theoretical novelties to advances in FCA-related algorithmic issues, as well as application domains of FCA such as data visualization, information retrieval, machine learning, data analysis and knowledge management.

Sommario/riassunto

The growth and impact of the multinational enterprise (MNE) in the post war period is one of the most important phenomena of our time. This volume, originally published in 1981 provides a comprehensive and detailed review of both the theoretical and policy issues at a time when the subject had reached a watershed, after the controversies of the 1970s. The book provides a balanced discussion of major themes such as the development of modern theories of international production; the impact of the MNE on the nation-state and the structure of the international market; the response
