Hi Abdullah,

Many thanks. I am well aware of the different theories. I'd like to see whether there are some new econometric tools that allow to differentiate between different types. Past literature mainly deals with figuring out the conjectural variation/conduct parameter, sometimes combining it with switching regressions to allow for different regimes. Any ideas with regard to the most recent tricks of the trade are highly appreciated.

Best regards,

Volker

Dear Mr. Jansen!

May I kindly argue that a financial program in a supply chain network evolves via the context, the objectives set for a green supply chain integration. The performance of actors - the focal company and the 3 tiers - can be measured by the social exchange theory:

Interesting Dilemma.

Psychotherapy methods can be unified, the current treatment methods are scattered, are targeted to specific needs, because of the lack of a unified psychology theory. All psychotherapy methods serve one goal: modifying the program. People's psychological activities can describe a series of program, psychological disorders are due to the disorder of these program, modify these psychological program, is psychotherapy.

It may vary depending on the networks to exchange knowledge among temporary/permanent organizations.

...a pretty random suggestion but as someone who works in health care there are likely to be lots of hospitals who fit the bill. While health services managers are not necessarily particularly research literate and no t all organisations are research active, the idea of research is not alien to them. I think it's well worth a try. Twitter and Linkedin well worth a try but i suspect a direct phone call or (failing that) email) to a senior person is likely to be more productive. Do a bit of background research to get the names before you start.

Don't expect people to be impressed by you, a PhD or your supervisor (if they are that's a bonus) but work on piquing their interest in what you are actually researching.

Good luck

I agree with Diane. I would add that if you read Marx or Braverman, then degradation of work follows from the drive to increase profits and surplus value. Though workers resist this both individually and collectively through unions, this resistance has suffered from neoliberal and austerity polices.

I feel that it is difficult to come up with a single model that would works out everywhere. I did TNA for a banking sector years back. What I'd like to suggest is to carry out analysis from various levels: Institutional/sector specific issue, the nature of work(functions), and trainees. Moreover, the demand of the task/business and the existing KSA gap would lead to the training and development needs. In today's dynamism, particularly in the rapid technological changes, the future or potential demands also require due consideration.  

Should vary within consumer groups.  Based on psychographics for instance for a metrosexual a razor would hold a completely different meaning as compared to someone who is looking for just  decent.

Another dimension could be skin type and dermatological consderations. Also frequent travellers may use schick for on the go whereas gillette for regular use, 

Usually, one feels uncomfortable and uncertain until the initial knowledge base is gained. User authentication space is a simple and complicated space at the same time. First, it is highly important and serious technology as far as any transaction security is concerned. Second, despite of the variety of existing technologies, the key requirements are exactly the same: how to preserve user credentials security from intruding attacks.

So that any particular technology is analyzed in how it is vulnerable against attack vectors when credential(s) being entered by the user at a payment terminal, or at a computer screen, etc. (so called front-end attacks).

Also, when the authentication response from the user comes to the authentication server. the matching process to the saved user's credential at the attached to the server database can be vulnerable to network attacks as well (back-end attacks). I somewhat simplified the picture, but in the essence that's what it is.     

You can ask the consumers following the innovation community approach.

A Simple and readily usable method is that one can use the actual growth rate between the two Census years i.e. 2001 and 2011 to interpolate the numbers for any year between 2001 and 2011 and then extrapolate to any year after 2011 but not for too long years, assuming that rate of growth observed during the period 2001 and 2011 will be continued. This formula may work.  P_t = P₂₀₀₁ * (1+r)ⁿ ; where P_t is any year for which we want to interpolate or extrapolate, P₂₀₀₁ is the base year, r - rate of growth; n - number of years between the base year and the year for which we want interpolated/extrapolated number. 

Dear Ehsan and Mousumi

Thank you so much

Very good question and statement. Competitive nature of the job market have needs new vision. To remedy this shortcoming, work based learning is attractive. It is an alternative flexible form of learning that attempts to tackle these issues. It enables students to learn whilst they work, addressing the funding issues, and enhancing their employability through the acquisition of higher professional qualifications. The following paper presents the findings from a survey conducted among stakeholders from all four pillars of work based learning, namely the learner, the academic environment, the workplace and the external context.

Thank you Arhan for your answer. Actually Hofstede's model is included in my literature review and partly I have integrated some parts in the model I am proposing. I was just wondering whether there was a newer model, more "applicable" like the one I am proposing, and in parallel a model that helps organisations to benchmark their capabilities of managing multicultural issues within them. Thanks a lot for your contribution.

There's a script of Ben-Tal and Nemirovski on convex optimization that also has a chapter on conic programming. It's my first reference and I can really recommend it: http://www2.isye.gatech.edu/~nemirovs/Lect_ModConvOpt.pdf

In addition, work stress in any organisation will be similar to the work stress in a logistic organisation. Lots of research output is available on work stress and employee performance. Maybe, you will have to find out- what’s the difference in working in logistic organisation compared to any other organisation to qualify for this research. Or what different variables will come into play compared to any other organisations- impacting on employee performance.

Some potential leads:

Dr. Jorge makes a good point that rationality can still be useful in understanding corruption from the point of view of reciprocity.  So, individuals will cheat if they don't expect enforcement or informal reciprocity.  Trust is the glue that makes long-term collective action work.  But this is still a far cry from the atomistic model of individual actors supported by economists.  It suggests that there could be competing rationalities, rationality at the individual and multiple collective levels, and a great deal of difficulty in calculating discount rates or expected utilities along with quite obscure information about long-term prospects for compliance.  Moreover, we can not just treat collective enterprises as individuals, in fact there is continual ambiguity b/t individual and collective rationalities, hence the paranoia of mob bosses.  To me, then, trust has to go beyond rationality and be embedded in social rituals, institutions, experience, and collective identity.  I try to make these points in my forthcoming Three Perspectives on Human Irrationality: The Book of Rules.

I think that you can find some elements in several strams of litterature, and specially those that take into account the institutional environment and its impact.

Two points of departure:

1- the "Institution Based view" of strategy that has been defended by Mike Peng (from the university of Texas at Dallas : https://scholar.google.com.sg/citations?user=z1Kz8gQAAAAJ&hl=en) You will find a lot of papers from him.

2- Neo institutional economics can also have an interest. Studies from Douglass Cecil North (Nobel prize of economics), but also from

Levy B.; Spiller P.T. (1994), « The institutional Foundations of Regulatory Commitment: A comparative Analysis of Telecommunications Regulation », Journal Of Law, Economics, and Organization, volume 10, Numéro 2.

Levy B.; Spiller P. T. (eds) (1996), Regulations, Institutions and Commitment. Comparative Studies of Telecommunication,. Cambridge University Press.

You can find references in one or our papers (unfortunately the paper is in French, but references can be useful), as we try to discuss the impact of "bas institutional environments" on strategies of firms:

Chabaud D, Parthenay C, Perez Y (2005) Environnement institutionnel et trajectoire des entreprises. Une application à l'industrie électrique, Management International, 9 (3), pp. 65-78. (on researchgate)

Typically, the idea is that "bad" institutional environments (with ill defined property rights,and so on) lead to short sighted decisions and/or to the fact that investors will need "additional guarantees".

Wishing that these elements will be useful to you

Sincerely yours

Didier 

 In my opinion,Employee innovative work behavior is function of employee creativity, involvement/ engagement, commitment and discipline of body & mind. Employee innovative output is function of employee innovative work behavior, organization culture and motivation. Organizational inventiveness is the outcome of integration of Employee innovative work behavior, Employee innovative output, Organizational agility and Leadership.

Prof. Hesari, IPR defines how workers communicate and interact with each other.  If there's a clear communication, in whatever form: paper-based, electronic, etc., then each individual would have the confidence of partaking his/her role in the different functions of the organization.  This in turn would promote a healthy relationship among workers, and subsequently add to efficiency, effectiveness and productivity of office operations.

The results in M & A are linked to the influence of knowledge transfer. While the importance of knowledge flows is a major issue in the process of wealth creation, the purpose of M & A is to take advantage of this asset when choosing a new location.

According to the traditional industrial economics approach, the link between market structure and (sectoral) performance can be measured and estimated through the link between the Herfindhal index and the Lerner index

Actually the catergorization of employment into three; agriculture, manufacturing, and services, is not very illuminating. In rich countries, currently almost everybody is working in services. I suggested in my recent book (MIssing a Decent Living for Everyone: Success and Failure in 143 Countries) another catergorization based on human activities.
