Abstract

This chapter introduces some of the survey instruments and tools used for the empirical study presented in the monograph. It starts with a glossary of key terms. It then presents the details of selection criteria used at the individual, firm, and country levels. Case firm and interviewee descriptions in a tabular form follow. The chapter also includes interview guides used during firm- and individual-level interviews. Finally, selected quotes from the interviews by themes and topics previously highlighted in the monograph are provided for illustrative purposes.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Another feature making research of the Slovenian context potentially theoretically rich is the specific roles and business functions that Slovenian firms’ affiliates usually perform (see e.g. Jaklič et al. 2017) along with their generally small size relative to the developed market affiliates. Subsidiaries from Slovenia are most often SMEs with less than 100 employees.

  2. 2.

    The business functions by foreign affiliates in Slovenia usually mirror the business functions performed by the parent firm. Manufacturing, marketing, and sales prevail. Many (17% in 2017) foreign-owned affiliates in Slovenia moreover perform the research and development (R&D) function as a separate and independent function for the parent firm. Logistics is performed by 10% of the sample firms, purchasing by 7%, and human resources management (HRM) function by 2.3% (Jaklič et al. 2017).

  3. 3.

    Sensemaking is a subjective activity aimed at understanding and giving meaning to the events and actions occurring over time (Smith 2002). Sensemaking in my research does not pertain solely to interviewees contemplating their international mobility experience, but rather also involves my (i.e. researcher’s) sensemaking of the overall data analysis process. To increase the credibility of my findings, I discuss both the sensemaking process of interviewees and the researcher throughout the analytical chapters. I also treat sensemaking as part of the research phenomenon and as such a research object on its own.
