Exploring the significance of knowledge transfer for facilitating cross-border acquisitions. An extensive examination of current themes, gaps, and potential future research directions
No full textPurpose –The purpose of the paper is to review how knowledge transfer including knowledge integration, absorptive capacity and reverse knowledge transfer in cross-border acquisitions is examined in existing research work. We also propose the directions to advance research in cross-border acquisitions.
Design/methodology/approach –A systematic literature review is conducted and related propositions are advanced that is based on scientometric and bibliometric analysis of 146 articles published over 10 years about tacit knowledge transfer, innovation activities, industrial policy effect on merger decisions, top management experience and value creation in crossborder acquisition. First, we searched major themes with the help of Scopus and later we analyzed all received literature with the help of VOS Viewer.
Findings – This review facilitates us to identify 6 clusters and main author keywords. These 6 clusters are the underlying six research streams including reverse knowledge transfer (RKT), cultural distances, value creation, absorptive capacity, innovation, and also reference to India and China.
Originality/value – Despite knowledge transfer constituting important antecedents and critical factors for the success of cross-border acquisitions, knowledge management in the acquired company through proper knowledge transfer and knowledge integration is not given enough attention. Current literature still fails to provide a holistic picture of how firms strategically manage knowledge post-acquisition. This study is the first to analyse the dynamics of knowledge transfer in cross-border acquisitions. The study is a novel attempt to relate current research themes to emerging areas of cross-border acquisition
Relating Severe Poverty and Chronic Poverty
No full textThe severely poor are very poor since their consumption is far below the absolute poverty line, and the chronically poor are very poor since their consumption persists for long periods below the absolute poverty line. A combination of chronic poverty and severe poverty (CSP) must represent the very worst instance of poverty. Yet the exercise in this paper of asking simple questions about CSP shows large research gaps. Quantified statements on CSP at the country level can be made for just 14 countries, and at the household level in just six countries. This data suggests a positive correlation between severe poverty and chronic poverty, both at the country level and the household level. Understanding the CSP relationship – whether it is strong, where it arises, what causes it – may improve our explanation of observed cross-country variation in the elasticity between macroeconomic growth and poverty reduction, and why within countries, some households take better advantage of opportunities afforded by macroeconomic growth. Some limited data suggests similarity in socioeconomic characteristics of the severe poor and the chronic poor in terms of location, household size, gender, education and economic sector of work. Of concern is that microlongitudinal datasets drop large proportions of their base year samples, and how this affects our understanding of CSP is not well evaluated. On causal mechanisms, evidence suggests that CSP may be caused by parental CSP (i.e. an intergenerational CSP cycle) and in households not previously poor, CSP may be caused by a morbidity cycle.
PEMAHAMAN HADIS ALI MUSTAFA YAQUB Studi atas Fatwa Pengharaman Serban dalam Konteks Indonesia
No full textArtikel ini berangkat dari paparan yang dikemukakan oleh Ali Mustafa Yaqub –seorang pakar hadis– bahwa mengenakan serban untuk konteks Indonesia hukumnya haram. Artikel ini mencoba melakukan eksplorasi lebih jauh tentang pemikiran dan pemahaman hadis Ali Mustafa Yaqub khususnya dalam konteks ke-Indonesia-an dan lebih spesifik lagi yang berkaitan dengan persoalan serban. Sebagai hasilnya, didapati kesimpulan bahwa alasan sederhana pengharaman serban adalah karena ia termasuk pakaian <em>syuhrah</em> dan tidak termasuk pakaian yang biasa dikenakan oleh masyarakat umum. Ali Mustafa tidak menafikan hadis yang menyebutkan bahwa Nabi mengenakan serban, tetapi hadis tersebut dipahami secara kontekstual yang berarti tidak ada muatan hukum harus diterapkan dalam segalam situasi dan kondisi. Dengan demikian, pemahaman hadis ala Ali Mustafa ini lebih mirip dengan pemahaman Yu&gt;suf al-Qarad}a&gt;wi&gt; dan Muh}ammad al-Gazali&gt;.</jats:p

Segmented capacitance tomography electrodes: a design and experimental verifications
No full textA segmented capacitance tomography system for real-time imaging of multiphase flows is developed and pre-sented in this work. The earlier research shows that the electrical tomography (ECT) system is applicable in flow visualization (image reconstruction). The acquired concentration profile ob-tained from capacitance measurements able to imaged liquid and gas mixture in pipelines meanwhile the system development is designed to attach on a vessel. The electrode plates which act as the sensor previously has been assembled and fixed on the pipeline, thus it causes obscurity for the production to have any new process installation in the future. Therefore, a segmented electrode sensor offers a new design and idea on ECT system which is portable to be assembled in different diameter sizes of pipeline, and it is flexible to apply in any number due to different size of pipeline without the need of redesigning the sensing module. The new ap-proach of this sensing module contains the integration intelligent electrode sensing circuit on every each of electrode sensors. A microcontroller unit and data acquisition (DAQ) system has been integrated on the electrode sensing circuit and USB technology was applied into the data acquisition system making the sensor able to work independently. Other than that the driven guard that usually placed between adjacent measuring electrodes and earth screen has been embedded on the segmented electrode sensor plates. This eliminates the cable noise and the electrode, so the signal conditioning board can be expanded according to pipe diameter
