Threading everything together: conclusion. 001446022 506__ $$aAccess limited to authorized users. 001446022 520__ $$aEmploying a practice theoretical approach, this study centers on how German multinational enterprises transfer three selected production-related training practices to their subsidiaries in emerging economies: onboarding of new employees, shop floor inducting of machine operators, and German-style dual apprenticeship training for specialized technicians. Empirical findings are drawn from three research regions: Greater Shanghai Area (China), Metropolitan Areas Mumbai-Pune-Bangalore (India), and Central Mexico (Mexico). In doing so, this study contributes to debates about the internationalization of multinational enterprises conceptualizing internationalization through the lens of practice transfer. Practice transfer is still an understudied phenomenon in economic geography while international business studies have a long-standing research interest in this area. This study provides a bridge between these two disciplinary fields connecting debates in economic geography on proximity/distance and knowledge transfer with organization studies-based research in international business studies -- all the while providing a unique new perspective by developing a practice theoretical approach to explain practice transfer across distance and between territories. 001446022 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed April 20, 2022). 001446022 650_0 $$aInternational business enterprises$$zGermany. 001446022 650_0 $$aEconomic geography. 001446022 650_6 $$aEntreprises multinationales$$zAllemagne. 001446022 650_6 $$aGéographie économique. 001446022 651_0 $$aGermany$$xEconomic conditions. 001446022 651_6 $$aAllemagne$$xConditions économiques. 001446022 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001446022 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z3030951847$$z9783030951849$$w(OCoLC)1289479023 001446022 830_0 $$aEconomic geography (Cham, Switzerland),$$x2520-1425 001446022 852__ $$bebk 001446022 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-95185-6$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001446022 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1446022$$pGLOBAL_SET 001446022 980__ $$aBIB 001446022 980__ $$aEBOOK 001446022 982__ $$aEbook 001446022 983__ $$aOnline 001446022 994__ $$a92$$bISE
