THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK FOR THE STUDY ON 6D MODEL (HOFSTEDE) AND GENDER DIVERSITY IN WESTERN COMPANIES: EUROPEAN MNCS VS AMERICAN MNCS VS ASIAN MNCS
No full textThis study aims to assess theoretical framework based international literature and to evaluate what are the real chances for women in European companies vs. American companies vs. Asian companies to reach top executive positions. The study is based on different studies of the European Institute for Gender Equality, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Deloitte studies, McKinsey, WEF (World Economic Forum), European Commission reports, etc. The results show attempts/efforts at different levels (international, national and corporate) to improve the structure of the workforce, payment, motivation and attainment of executive positions for women under similar conditions as men in different types of firms and other categories of organisations. At the same time, among other conclusions reached in our study is the fact that in all Western countries (with liberal/democratic systems of political governance), at least in the last 3 decades, there has been a clear and positive trend to support equality as a guiding principle between the two segments of the workforce in the US, Europe and some Asian countries. Our proposed study is both theoretically (as a source for further research) and pragmatically (providing a clear synthesis of the positive implications of gender diversity for the performance of the corporate environment in the coming decades)
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
The Support of Human Resources Department to Evaluate Business Performance within beyond COVID-19 Crisis
No full textInternational audienceThis article seeks to analyse the support of HR department to evaluate business performance in the organisations beyond the crisis by conducting interviews with the employees of the 3-service sector French organisations named Company A, Company B, and Company C, in order to find the HR practices and what effects they have on personal and professional life. Our findings show two approaches of management during virtual and hybrid teams that are being practiced, such as management based on control and management based on trust. Also, it is vital to highlight that, under such conditions of working, there are advantages and disadvantages as well. The evidence from our conducted research shows that employees could concentrate better from a distance, which is seen as a source of productivity. In addition to that, team members focus primarily on material and organisational aspects rather than on relationships or social interactions. However, some answers treat the teleworking as a source of loneliness, lack of physical interaction and sometimes, overwhelming working hours
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
