Individual cognitions as antecedents of emotional competence and job satisfaction
No full textA model linking cognitions to emotional competence is presented and tested. The model is based on the four domains of Emotional Intelligence (Goleman, 2002) and on the theoretical framework of Rational-Emotive-Behavior Therapy (Ellis, 1962, 1994). In this respect, we expect irrational beliefs to be negatively associated with both emotional competence and job satisfaction. Furthermore, we expect emotional competence to be positively associated with job satisfaction. Additionally, it is proposed that irrational beliefs mediate emotional competence’s influence on job satisfaction. We test our hypotheses using data from two different studies. Study 1 collected data from 113 respondents that answered an experimental questionnaire study using organizational scenarios. Study 2 collected data through a questionnaire using the Emotional Competence Inventory (ECI 2.0) as direct measure of emotional intelligence and competencies and an irrationality scale (Försterling & Bühner, 2003) as a measure for irrational beliefs. Findings from these 2 studies suggest that irrational beliefs are negatively related to both emotional competence and job satisfaction and that emotional competence is positively related to job satisfaction. Our results confirm the central assumptions of Ellis’ appraisal theory and support our basic hypothesis of a correspondence between cognitions and emotional competence. Implications for future research are discussed
A mapping framework for strategy making
No full textThis book outlines a number of different tools for mapping strategic knowledge, and thus making knowledge more accessible. Anne Sigismund Huff and Mark Jenkins have brought leading academics together in this work: - to provide informed analysis and theory - to illustrate the contribution of knowledge mapping to central issues in strategy and organization theory - to consider the contribution of these studies to management practice - to address practical theoretic and methodological limitations of these tools, including several software tools now available to facilitate mapping. Each section of the book provides a table which charts the chapters' main contents, key findings and implications for knowledge management. An annotated bibliography is provided at the end of the book as a resource for readers who may wish to become more familiar with relevant and existing literature in this area. Mapping Strategic Knowledge is relevant to those interested in knowledge management, primarily academics and consultants in the area of strategic management, but also academics in the area of organization theor
On using Directional Information for Parameter Space Decomposition in Ellipse Detection
No full textIn this paper we use the parametric polar representation to extend the application of edge directional information from circle to ellipse extraction. As a result we obtain a mapping which decomposes the parameter space required for ellipse extraction into two independent sub-spaces and one final histogram accumulator. The mapping includes the tangent of the angle of the first and second directional derivatives. These tangents are computed by considering edge direction at two border points. We show that the use of gradient information for parameter space decomposition avoids the intensive point labelling imposed by geometric constraints used by other approaches

A Lagrangian sub-grid model for the dispersion of clouds of tracers
No full textTurbulence models are expected to satisfy the conflicting requirements of accuracy and computational efficiency. Here we discuss a new model that was recently developed in order to accurately and efficiently describe the dynamic of a clouds of tracers particles in Large Eddy Simulations of homogeneous and isotropic turbulent flows. The models incorporates the multi-scale nature of time and space turbulent velocity correlations that are essential in order to correctly reproduce the relative dispersion of multi-particle clouds. The model can be seen as an off-grid solver for the Eulerian velocity field at the positions of a given number of Lagrangian tracers that self-consistently move with it. Extensions to non homogeneous and isotropic turbulence as well as to the dynamics of particles will be discussed
Rate of breakup of small inertial aggregates in homogeneous turbulence
No full textThe hydrodynamic breakup of small inertial aggregates in homogenous and isotropic turbulence is studied through numerical simulations. Small inertial aggregates are subject to shear stress caused by the local velocity gradient and drag stress caused by the relative velocity of the aggregate and the fluid flow. In our simulations, we follow aggregates moving through the flow and record the total stress acting on them. Breakup is assumed to occur when the total stress overcomes a predefined threshold representing the aggregate strength. By determining how long it takes for an aggregate to reach a stress exceeding its strength for the first time, we are able to derive a breakup rate. It is found that with increasing aggregate inertia, the drag stress rapidly becomes the dominant stress resulting in an increase of the breakup rate with increasing the aggregate inertia

Valuation of ČSOB, a.s.
No full textThe aim of the thesis is the valuation of ČSOB, a.s. The thesis is divided into two parts. The first part is theoretical, where the author describes the theoretical basis for the valuation of banks and adds the basic characteristics of the environment in which the bank is located. The practical part consists of financial and strategic analysis, from which the resulting valuation is then calculated. The value of the bank is calculated based on income-based valuation methods.Diplomová práce se zabývá oceněním ČSOB, a.s. Práce je rozdělena do dvou částí.
