We find that MNEs have different market entry and expansion strategies in the home region and in the foreign region. Home region MNEs (Japanese MNEs in this case), in general, utilize their firm-specific advantages (FSAs) better than foreign region MNEs (European and MNEs from the Americas in this case). Due to differences in transaction costs, home region MNEs exploit downstream FSAs while foreign region MNEs develop upstream FSAs. Market similarity also leads to a greater incentive to operate in the home region rather than in foreign regions. The home region effect significantly increases the likelihood of entry into foreign markets as the host country’s “diamond” significantly affects the market entry strategies of MNEs.

But in a direct selling fair, the exhibitors are companies that sell goods and services directly to consumers—companies that are actively recruiting direct selling representatives. Direct selling, as the Central Indiana Women’s Business Center (CIWBC) learned, is a match for clients who want to be self-employed, but who do not have a specific business idea or who lack the capital to launch a business.

    “Soap and Hope”: Direct Sales and the Culture of Work and Capitalism in Postwar America By Jessica Kay Burch Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Vanderbilt University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in History August, 2015 Nashville, Tennessee Approved: Sarah Igo, Ph.D. Katherine Crawford, Ph.D. Gary Gerstle, Ph.D. Paul Kramer, Ph.D. Bethany Moreton, Ph.D. Copyright © 2015 by Jessica Kay Burch All Rights Reserved ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to express my gratitude, first and foremost, to Sarah Igo. Sarah guided this project from its inception. She read countless drafts, gave generous and insightful comments, and always offered to do more.

It has been my great privilege to work with and learn from her. I am grateful to the members of the dissertation committee: Sarah Igo, Gary Gerstle, Katherine Crawford, Paul Kramer, and Bethany Moreton. Inspiring teachers and scholars all, they pushed me to see the big picture and to make arguments that matter. Thank you to the History Department at Vanderbilt University, where I benefited from seminars with Sarah Igo, Gary Gerstle, Paul Kramer, Dan Usner, Leor Halevi, Jim Epstein, and Michael Bess.
