Contrariamente a otros distritos industriales, los miembros de este distrito en particular acostumbraban a discutir activamente sobre temas comunes y trataban de hallar todos los insumos necesarios en empresas que integraban el distrito. Cuando el caso fue escrito, los miembros del distrito enfrentaban un desafío único: un contrato multimillonario con Venezuela para exportar algunas de sus máquinas. A pesar de que las empresas veían claramente que debían realizar mejoras en su nivel de cooperación mutua para enfrentar el desafío, no había acuerdo acerca de lo que eso significaba en términos de lo que debía hacerse para lograrlo. El caso hecha luz sobre las cuestiones que debían ser tenidas en cuenta para el planteo del contrato: cambios en la forma jurídica del distrito, apertura de un parque industrial, reapertura de empresas de prensado localizadas en la misma ciudad y fundamentalmente cómo aprovechar el éxito obtenido para lograr un mayor nivel de cooperación

Export emergence of differentiated goods from developing countries : four argentine cases
Full text linkFil: Artopoulos, Alejandro. Universidad de San Andrés. Departamento de Economía; Argentina.Fil: Friel, Daniel. Universidad de San Andrés. Departamento de Economía; Argentina.Fil: Hallak, Juan Carlos. Universidad de San Andrés. Departamento de Economía; Argentina.This paper contains case studies documenting the process of export emergence in four sectors
producing differentiated goods in Argentina: wines, television programs, motorboats, and
wooden furniture. Each case describes the development of Argentine exports, provides a basic
history of the sector and shows the types of practices adopted by firms that were able to export
to the developed world on a consistent basis. Since in all of the cases except wooden furniture
export emergence in the sector is closely tied to the leading role of an export pioneer, the case
studies also explain how the background of this export pioneer enabled him to gain the
knowledge needed to export consistently. Finally, the cases characterize how the business
practices first adopted by the pioneer diffused to other firms in the industry leading to export
growth in the sector
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Export emergence of differentiated goods from developing countries: Export pioneers and business practices in Argentina
Full text linkThis study explores the underlying factors that enable firms from developing countries to successfully export differentiated goods to developed countries. The article describes four case studies of export emergence in differentiated-good sectors in Argentina, namely wine, television programs, motorboats, and wooden furniture. The case studies rely primarily on an extensive set of interviews. We find that consistent exporters to developed countries adopt a new set of business practices that differ starkly from those that prevail in their domestic market. In three of the sectors, an export pioneer led the adoption of these new practices. Export pioneers possessed tacit knowledge about foreign markets, achieved through their previous embeddedness in the business community of those markets. Export emergence occurs as business practices diffuse throughout the sector. These findings point to the importance of foreign market knowledge, relative to production knowledge, as the key constraint to achieve consistent export to developed countries.Fil: Artopoulos, Alejandro.

Giving the Giggles: Prediction, Intervention, and Young Children's Representation of Psychological Events
Full text linkAdults recognize that if event A predicts event B, intervening on A might generate B. Research suggests that young children have difficulty making this inference unless the events are initiated by goal-directed actions. The current study tested the domain-generality and development of this phenomenon. Replicating previous work, when the events involved a physical outcome, toddlers (mean: 24 months) failed to generalize the outcome of spontaneously occurring predictive events to their own interventions; toddlers did generalize from prediction to intervention when the events involved a psychological outcome. We discuss these findings as they bear on the development of causal concepts.Templeton Foundation (Grant 12667)James S. McDonnell FoundationNational Science Foundation (U.S.). (CAREER Award 0744213
