Top Management Team Diversity: A systematic Review
No full textEmpirical research investigating the impact of top management team (TMT)
diversity on executives’ decision making has produced inconclusive results.
To synthesize and aggregate the results on the diversity-performance
link, a meta-regression analysis (MRA) is conducted. It integrates more
than 200 estimates from 53 empirical studies investigating TMT diversity
and its impact on the quality of executives’ decision making as reflected
in corporate performance. The analysis contributes to the literature by
theoretically discussing and empirically examining the effects of TMT diversity
on corporate performance. Our results do not show a link between TMT
diversity and performance but provide evidence for publication bias. Thus,
the findings raise doubts on the impact of TMT diversity on performance
Oral History of Bui Van Chuc (aka Quyen Di)
No full textOral History of Bui Van Chuc, who is known by the name of Quyen Di, born in Hanoi, Vietnam in 1948. He migrated with his family to Saigon in 1954 and recalls his education in Vietnam in great detail. Quyen Di became a teacher at Da Lat University and also taught 12th grade in Saigon after he finished his education in Vietnam. He met his wife, who was also a teacher at the same school. They left Vietnam in 1977 as boat refugees and passed through refugee camps in Malaysia and Hong Kong. After arriving in Alaska and then resettled to New Orleans, he decided to move to Orange County, California where he has lived since. He worked in several jobs, including publishing Vietnamese-language publications but has returned to his role as an educator.Recorded Digitall

Chinese hydropower companies and environmental norms in countries of the global South: the involvement of Sinohydro in Ghana’s Bui Dam
No full textThe paper examines the role of environmental norms in Chinese overseas investment in hydropower dams, exemplified by Sinohydro’s involvement in the Bui Dam in Ghana. While the investment of Western companies in hydropower dams in the global South is decreasing owing to changing notions of sustainability in the West, the investment of Chinese companies in hydro dams in Africa, Southeast Asia and Latin America is accelerating at great speed. The emergence of Chinese companies in international markets in the context of China’s Going Abroad strategy has sparked a debate on whether China can be considered a norm-changer in international development. The paper considers this question in the context of the status of environmental norms in Sinohydro’s investment in Ghana’s Bui Dam. The paper argues that the role of international norms in Chinese investment is dependent on two factors: the contractual arrangements under which Chinese companies operate abroad and the political institutions of host countries

Leidraad voor de beoordeling van de veiligheid van duinen als waterkering
No full textDe leidraad, die in eerste instantie bedoeld is voor de beoordeling van de veiligheid van duinen als primaire waterkering, is opgebouwd uit de volgende drie hoofdelementen: - Een rekenmodel voor de verwachting van duinafslag tijdens stormvloed. Dit rekenmodel vormt een belangrijk onderdeel van de hierna genoemde toetsingsmethodes (hoofdstuk 3) en wordt daarom eerst beschreven (hoofdstuk 2). - Een methode voor het toetsen van een duinkust aan de vastgestelde veiligheidsnormen voor duinen als primaire waterkering. - Een methode voor het toetsen van een duinkust aan lagere veiligheidsnormen. Op grond van uitgebreid model- en prototype-onderzoek werd het rekenmodel van de richtlijn van 1972 aanzienlijk verbeterd. Met behulp van het nieuwe rekenmodel kan de mate van duinafslag ten gevolge van een willekeurige stormvloed worden berekend met een bepaalde nauwkeurigheid. De voor de berekening benodigde gegevens zijn het stormvloedpeil, de significante golfhoogte, de korreldiameter van het duinzand en het kustprofiel vlak voor de stormvloed. Het rekenmodel kan, behalve bij de toetsingsmethodes, ook gebruikt worden voor evaluatie- en studiedoeleinden, zoals bijvoorbeeld het narekenen van opgetreden duinafslag. Ten behoeve van de veiligheidsbeoordeling is een toetsingsmethode ontwikkeld op basis van een probabilistische veihgheidsbeschouwing. Hierbij wordt rekening gehouden met de nauwkeurigheid van het rekenmodel en het stochastische karakter van de duinafslagbepalende factoren die van belang worden geacht. Behalve de hierboven reeds aangegeven factoren zijn dit de stormvloedduur en het optreden van buistoten en bui-oscillaties.TAW/EN
