Economics
Comparing German and Spanish Labor Markets
Olsen, Morten
|
|
|
|
Spain's new Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has been doggedly focused on austerity measures and reducing the public deficit, but is this wise? With staggering unemployment and fears of recession, other problems may be more worrisome. In this video, IESE Assistant Professor Morten Olsen points out that over the 2000s productivity in Spain markedly underperformed against the German benchmark. Compensation and unit labor costs rose at a much faster rate in Spain, though in absolute terms German salaries tend to be much higher. |

Doing more with less will be the recurring theme of 2012. As such, companies should reconsider export markets, refocus on their core competencies and reinforce their HR. They need to create more flexible workplace arrangements aimed at boosting productivity while retaining their best talent. It will also be a year of opportunities, thanks to the greater possibilities afforded by new technology. |

Tortoriello, Marco; Reagans, R.; McEvily, B.
|
|
|
| The successful acquisition of knowledge across organizational boundaries is essential for innovation and creativity. In a new article, IESE's Marco Tortoriello and his colleagues argue that organizations interested in mobilizing knowledge across formal boundaries must move beyond the simplistic version of "boundary spanners" (individuals who link different organizational units) toward a deeper understanding of the network relationships in which boundary spanners are embedded. |
