A REVIEW OF ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE IN THE MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS PROCESS
No full textMergers and acquisitions (MA) are the most widespread and most reliable international operations in the strategic market. Theoretically, they can respond to a certain amount of conventional goals like creating intrinsic value and performance. Integrating an organizational culture in an MA process can help top management from both organizations understand cultural differences as fast as possible, in order to reduce consequences. The question remains as to whether we can go from a theoretical case to a practical one and achieve results beyond expectations. In this 2015 study we took into account cultural changes, communicated them to the members going into the process, and demonstrated the fundamental role that organizational culture plays. By comparing several approaches surrounding organizational culture, we conclude that this concept should extended to further perspectives, such as the importance of acculturation, cultural tolerance and organizational identity, all present before, during, and after the MA process
Coordination modes in the regionalization process of Japanese multinationals in Europe
No full textCette thèse s'intéresse aux relations organisationnelles des entreprises multinationales (EMN), dans leur processus de régionalisation. Si la majorité des travaux en Stratégie Internationale mettent en lumière, la relation partant de la maison-mère vers la fille, ce travail veut démontrer qu'il existerait une relation inverse dont l'impact tend à influencer la stratégie globale de l'organisation multinationale.Contrairement à ce qui existe dans la littérature en Management International et en Management Stratégique, le projet se préoccupe des dynamiques comportementales ; entre autres, comment le comportement entrepreneurial des filiales modifie les modalités de coordination initiales des sièges internationaux.En se référant à une logique institutionnelle, encastrée par un ensemble d'acteurs et de facteurs propres à l'environnement d'accueil, la démarche empirique se focalise sur le cas de sièges régionaux (RHQ) japonais opérant dans les secteurs automobile et électronique du marché économique européen.L'ambition de cette démarche, soutenu par un raisonnement qualitatif devrait, nous aider à mettre en lumière les conditions favorables pour des initiatives prises par ces RHQ et comment elles amélioreraient la coordination existante entre la maison-mère et la filiale.This thesis focuses on the organizational relationships of multinational companies (MNCs) in their regionalization process. While most of the research in International Strategy highlights the relationship from the parent company to the subsidiary, this work aims to demonstrate an inverse relationship in whose impact tends to influence the global strategy of the overall multinational organization.Contrary to what exists in the literature in International Business and Strategy Management, the project is concerned with behavioral dynamics; among other things, how the entrepreneurial behavior of subsidiaries modifies the initial coordination modalities of global headquarters.Referring to an institutional and embedded logic of an host environment filled with specific actors and factors, the empirical approach focus its case study on Japanese regional headquarters (RHQ) operating in both automotive and electronic sectors within the European Union market.The ambition of this approach, supported by qualitative reasoning, should help us to highlight the favorable conditions for initiatives taken by these RHQs and how they would improve the existing coordination between the parent company and the subsidiary

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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 textWe 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
