Summary/Abstract |
This study examines the issue of career advancement for Tibetan employees in private enterprises in the Tibet Autonomous Region. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with 52 enterprise employees and two government officers. Results show that, in comparison with the Han, the career advancement of Tibetan employees lags behind. Moreover, intragroup differences exist within Tibetans. A theoretical framework generated from the primary data identifies influential factors from three levels, namely the individual level, the micro-contextual (organisational) level and the macro-contextual (regional differences and Chinese governmental ethnic-related policies) level. The study aims to explore an under-researched question regarding the career experiences of ethnic minorities in contemporary China.

Summary/Abstract |
In extension of Billig's (1995) and Edensor's (2002) contribution to the literature, this paper examines an often overlooked element in 'mundane' nationalism, company advertising. Through the development of a typology of advertising strategies, it examines the role of companies as nationalist actors, and highlights how advertisements can engage with and impact on wider national discourses. Nationalist company advertising is classified into types, depending on how associated the company is with nationalism in popular discourse, and whether the advertising campaign involves the company's participation in broader nationalistic political projects. The types developed in this typology include (1) 'ordinary marketing/achieving nationalist credentials', (2) 'ordinary marketing/established nationalist credentials' and (3) 'activist marketing/achieving nationalist credentials'. Case studies from the Australian context are used to illustrate these types, how the different types use nationalism, and their varying impact on shaping wider nationalistic discourses.

Summary/Abstract |
Business process outsourcing (BPO) has become a key component of any global business model. One of the main BPO hubs in the world is India with its large pool of relatively-skilled human capital and lower wages. However, the BPO industry in India is maturing and facing constraints and challenges to further expansion. Some of these constraints include lack of employable talent, social norms, increasing operational cost and breaches of security in handling clients' confidential data. This paper aims to examine Indian BPO companies' aim to mitigate and resolve these constraints to growth. Some of the possible solutions to tightening labour market and increasing operational costs included recruitment and relocating BPO companies to tier two and three cities.

Summary/Abstract |
This article examines the concept of trust in the context of resource extraction, focusing on the moral and statutory responsibilities of the state, extractive firms, and host communities, and using Nigeria's Niger Delta as a case study. It attributes ongoing oil-related unrest to the breakdown of trust between these parties. Using a combination of primary and secondary data, it links outbreaks of violence to the failure of the state to foster development, create an enabling environment for economic growth in communities, and build rational institutions for peaceful and sustainable resource extraction; oil companies' exploitation of weaknesses in existing institutional arrangements to promote selfish interests; communities' almost-total dependence on companies for the provision of public goods and employment; and the collapse of trust between communities and between various groups and individuals in the region. To address conflict outbreaks, restore and build trust between parties, it recommends some institutional reforms and policy changes in the oil industry and beyond.
