    The stakeholder view with Guanxi: a case study of managers in chinese aquatic product industry

    Full text link
    Guanxi, in China, is viewed as a cultural concept, which originates from Confucianism. This thesis applies a stakeholder-based view (SHV) of strategic management to a special Guanxi setting of China in order to contextualize the theory to be applied in Chinese settings. In exploring the experiences of developing Guanxi with critical stakeholders in the course of corporate operations within the three aquatic product enterprises in China, the result finds the role of catalyst of Guanxi in lubricating or smoothing corporate development based on SHV in strategic management

    Strategi for å oppnå vekst. En casestudie av en organisasjon som har opplevd stor vekst

    Full text link
    I denne studien er det blitt undersøk hvilke strategier en organisasjon har benyttet for å oppnå vekst. Når det kommer til vekst er det gjort mange studier om netopp dette, men det er gitt lite oppmerksomhet til hvordan jobbe strategisk mot å oppnå vekst. Den teoretiske delen tar for seg offentlige organisasjoner, vekst og strategier. Mintzbergs fem p-er er blitt benyttet som rammeverk for å utforske hvilke strategier som er brukt fra organisasjonens side med tanke på vekst. Tidiger forskning har i hovedsak konsentrert seg om å måle hvor mye en organisajson vokser eller hvilke konsekvenser veksten får for organisasjonen. De fleste organisajsoner har forskjellige strategier for å oppnå forskjellige mål. Når en organisasjon har som mål å vokse og ta over større andeler av markedet, er det veldig interessant å se på hvilke strategier de har utviklet for å oppnå dette. Caset som er benyttet er en organisajson som har opplevd en stor vekst de siste årene. Denne ble valgt fordi det er en organisasjon som har utpekt seg i min hjemkommune. De har opplevd en stor suksess de siste årene, til tross for at de har møtt på en del motstand. Det ville derfor være spennende å studere hva de har gjort på det strategiske plan for å oppnå den veksten de har klart. Funnene i studiene viser at organisasjonen hadde en strategi for å oppnå vekst. De har vært nødt til å endre strategi underveis, men har klart å fokusere på sine sterke sider og det å utnyttet sine ressurser. Det å være beviste på sine sterke sider å utvikle strategier på bakgrunn av disse viser seg å være en god suksess oppskrift. Nøkkelord: vekst, strategi og offentlig organisasjon

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    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

    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

    Full text link
    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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    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

    No full text
    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
