内発的モチベーションの知識創造行動への効果
産業用機械製造企業において従業員の内発的モチベーションが知識創造行動に与える効果を分析した。内発的モチベーションは知識創造行動を促進するが、その条件として組織目標へのコミットメントと組織による自由度の付与をともに向上していく必要性が見出された。 : Intrinsic motivation is thought to spur knowledge creation processes. However, those ideas have not been empirically examined. This paper investigated the relationship between intrinsic motivation and knowledge creating behaviors, using quantitative analysis of a Japanese industrial machine manufacturing company. Our analyses considered the moderating roles of workers’ organizational goal commitment and their autonomy within the company. The empirical results showed that intrinsic motivation and organizational goal commitment positively affected knowledge creating behavior. Also, we found that high levels of organizational goal commitment and autonomy moderated the relationship between intrinsic motivation and knowledge creating behaviors. Based on the results, we discussed the balance between organizational goal commitment and autonomy in a product development organization
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The 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
Roberto Verganti, Design-driven Innovation( Harvard Business Press, 2009)
本論は,Verganti, R.によって書かれた「デザイン・ドリブン・イノベーション」を批判的にレビューしたものである。著者が考える同著の主な問題点は,その稚拙な論理構成と実証的事実の乏しさにある。本論では,同コンセプトを安易に信用することの危険性を反事例を導入しながら説明し,経営学書を読む際の論理的思考の重要性を主張する。This is a paper which critically reviewed the book,“Design-driven Innovation,”authored by Verganti, R. The main problem of this book which the author thinks exists in its poor logic and a lack of empirical findings. This paper explains the risk of believing this concept easily by introducing counterfactual cases, and stresses the importance of logical thinking when you read books on business management
Variations on the Author
“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
We 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
Factors facilitating technology reuse - An estimation from patent citation data -
同一企業内における特許引用を,顕在技術の再活用と埋没技術の再活用とに区分した上で,これらの技術の再活用条件に関する探索的分析を行った。分析の結果,顕在技術の再利用は,必ずしも漸進的なものではないことが示された。また,再活用された技術の価値向上をもたらす要因に関する探索的分析からは,顕在技術と埋没技術の再利用との間に幾らかの差異を見出す一方で,特許引用同士における同一発明者の存在は,これらの価値向上に対し有意な寄与をもたらしていないことが明らかになった。Based on the classification of patent citations within the same firm as the reuse of actualized technologies and one of buried technologies, this paper exploratory examined the conditions which facilitate technology reuse. The results implied that actualized technologies were not so incremental. Also, from an exploratory analysis
to find the factors for valuing the reused technologies, the author confirmed some differences with the results between the case of actualized technology and one of buried technology, however, the same inventors on citing
and cited patents had no significant contribution to these values
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
We 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
We 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
