Enhancing Practitioner Skills through Understanding International Connectedness and Local Disconnectedness

Enhancing Practitioner Skills through Understanding International Connectedness and Local Disconnectedness

Introduction

The research article "International connectedness and local disconnectedness: MNE strategy, city-regions and disruption" by Lorenzen, Mudambi, and Schotter presents a profound exploration of the strategic approaches multinational enterprises (MNEs) adopt and their implications on city-regions. This exploration is particularly relevant for practitioners in the field of speech-language pathology, especially those involved in online therapy services like TinyEYE, as it highlights the importance of balancing global strategies with local needs.

Understanding the Research

The research contrasts two primary MNE strategies: 'global orchestration' and 'local spawning.' Global orchestration focuses on leveraging international connections, often at the expense of local ties, which can exacerbate local disconnectedness. In contrast, local spawning emphasizes engaging with local ecosystems to foster and renew local connectedness, mitigating populist responses and enhancing local engagement.

Implications for Practitioners

For practitioners, especially those involved in providing online therapy services, understanding these strategies can be pivotal. Here’s how:

Encouraging Further Research

Practitioners are encouraged to delve deeper into the research to understand the nuanced impacts of international connectedness on local disconnectedness. By doing so, they can develop strategies that not only improve service delivery but also contribute to the broader goal of reducing disparities in access to quality therapy services.
