The findings suggest that: a) setting minimum requirements on number of posted replies could have an adverse effect on the quality of students’ postings; and b) instructors can set requirements on number of opening arguments/threads posted and number of different posting days to directly increase the number of responses elicited by each student’s messages and number of reciprocal replies in order to increase the quality of students’ postings.

Surprisingly, the results of this study revealed no differences between the two groups of teachers on most facets of inclusion. The one significant difference found a greater preference for inclusion by non-Project WINS teachers with regard to classroom climate. The study also revealed a higher preference for inclusion for teachers with higher self-reported expertise in special education regardless of what group the teacher was surveyed from. Findings from this study indicate the need for further research and improvements in training methods for Project WINS and similar programmes that attempt to change teachers’ attitudes towards inclusion as an important first step in improving practice in inclusion-based classrooms. As the movement for more inclusion in schools increases, administrators, special educators and teachers are caught in the midst of the tide. Proponents of inclusion believe change is needed now, but those not in favour of such changes recommend not implementing inclusion without further research (Snyder, 1999). In addition, schools need assistance in developing and implementing policies and practices that will lead to an effective inclusion experience for all parties involved (Johnson, 2000). The primary purpose of this study was to further this research by examining attitudes related to inclusion of teachers participating in a programme implemented in middle schools with the explicit goal of fostering effective inclusion-based classrooms. Second, we tested the relationship between perceived expertise in special education and attitudes towards inclusion. Below we briefly describe some of the factors that research has shown to influence teachers’ level of acceptance of inclusion-based classrooms. ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Preparing new teachers for inclusive schools and classrooms SP - 85 EP - 91 PY - 2006/// AU - Winter,Eileen C N2 - The policy of including pupils with special educational needs (SEN) in mainstream schools and classes is now firmly established in many jurisdictions worldwide. Successful implementation of such policy depends largely on teachers having the knowledge, skills and competencies necessary to make it work. This poses a considerable challenge for both teachers and those responsible for Initial Teacher Education (ITE). This article presents the results of a study investigating current Northern Ireland practitioners’ perceptions of their initial ITE relative to SEN. The major question under investigation was whether they felt that their ITE prepared them to be effective teachers in inclusive settings. Findings confirm research in other jurisdictions that teachers feel unprepared for inclusion. Emerging from this are the participants’ recommendations for the content and delivery of SEN courses in ITE. Their recommended model of SEN delivery is a combination of ’permeation’ plus a ’stand alone’ course with the focus on student characteristics, behaviour management, assessment and evaluation, and SEN legislation.

The article outlines some key features of schools which cater successfully for the needs of many pupils with EBD. This suggests that schools which foster a culture of caring, sharing and learning, as defined later in the article, are more effective in achieving inclusion for those pupils who are regarded as the most difficult to include.

ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Dilemmas in the quest for inclusion SP - 3 EP - 11 PY - 2005/// AU - Wedell,Klaus N2 - In 1995, on the occasion of his ’retirement’, Professor Klaus Wedell wrote a leading article for BJSE entitled ’Making inclusive education ordinary’. Last October, Professor Wedell, also known to BJSE’s readers as the author of the regular ’Points from the SENCo-Forum’ column, delivered the Gulliford Lecture at Birmingham University. Here he makes the text of his lecture accessible to a wider audience. In this article, Professor Wedell places some of the ideas he discussed in 1995 in a contemporary context. He explores the systemic rigidities that create barriers to inclusion; he offers creative ideas for new ways to approach the challenges of inclusion; and he argues persuasively for much greater flexibility, at a range of levels, in order to facilitate change, development and innovation. Building on these themes, Professor Wedell summarises a series of implications for policy and practice. These concern teaching and learning; staffing and professional expertise; and grouping and locations for learning. In concluding his article, Professor Wedell calls on the Government to consider in more depth the issues that are raised by moves towards inclusion - particularly those issues that concern the individual learner in relation to the shared curriculum. This article will be of interest to anyone who recognises these and other tensions in the movement towards inclusion.

Three introductory chapters discuss: today’s students, families, friends, and communities; current trends concerning zero reject policies, nondiscriminatory evaluation, and appropriate education; and the inclusion and collaboration movements. The following 12 chapters address specific disabling conditions or exceptionalities. Each chapter typically offers vignettes of real students, categorical information, evaluation procedures, issues for professionals (focusing on curriculum and methods that promote inclusion and collaboration), program options, a vision for the future, and suggested resources and references. The 12 chapters address: (1) learning disabilities, (2) emotional or behavioral disorders, (3) mental retardation, (4) severe and multiple disabilities, (5) autism, (6) giftedness, (7) health impairments, (8) physical disabilities, (9) speech and language disorders, (10) hearing loss, (11) blindness and low vision, and (12) traumatic brain injury.

Most books on multilevel analysis are written by statisticians, and they focus on the mathematical background. These books are difficult for non-mathematical researchers. In contrast, this volume provides an accessible account on the application of multilevel analysis in research. It addresses the practical issues that confront those undertaking research and wanting to find the correct answers to research questions. This book is written for non-mathematical researchers and it explains when and how to use multilevel analysis. Many worked examples, with computer output, are given to illustrate and explain this subject. Datasets of the examples are available on the internet, so the reader can reanalyse the data. This approach will help to bridge the conceptual and communication gap that exists between those undertaking research and statisticians.

Young adolescents ( N= 143 ) from Latino and European American families were recruited from a local school district in a rural southwestern community. Adolescents described the emotional qualities of their relationship with each parent, the nature of the parent-adolescent hierarchy, and their experiences with their best friend. Findings revealed links between European American boys’ experiences with their fathers and their best friends and between the nature of the parent-adolescent hierarchy and both boys’ and girls’ intimacy with their best friends. The discussion highlights implications for intervention in early adolescence.

The variables-teacher beliefs and attitudes, principal beliefs and school norms, and teacher efficacy-were selected to represent the determinants of behavioral intention in Ajzen’s widely used model of planned behavior. Data were collected in 33 classrooms (grades 2-8) from 12 schools. Teachers and principals provided questionnaire data for several measures of attitudes and beliefs about students with special needs and their inclusion in general education classrooms. Teachers also provided interview data and were observed using an instrument designed to measure effective teaching behaviors. Zero-order correlations and hierarchical regression analyses indicated that the strongest predictor of effective teaching behavior was the subjective school norm as operationalized by the principal’s attitudes and beliefs about heterogeneous classrooms and his or her report of the school’s pathognomonic-interventionist orientation (a measure of behaviorally grounded assumptions and beliefs about teaching in heterogeneous classrooms). This variable had a direct effect on the classroom observation measure of effective teaching (i.e., it was not mediated by teachers’ attitudes). The second important predictor of effective teaching behavior was the teachers’ responses on the pathognomonic-interventionist interview scale. The practical implications of these findings are discussed as well as their implications for the development of a comprehensive model of the teacher and school characteristics that are related to effective teaching in heterogeneous classrooms.

In this process a substantial challenge is to simultaneously increase both equality and quality in inclusive education. This article discusses ways of achieving this goal in light of recent research findings which indicate that it is possible to meet both goals at once. The findings of various studies on the Finnish comprehensive school reform, along with recent learning outcomes, support this conclusion. During the comprehensive school era, equality has increased, performance gaps have decreased, and student achievement has improved overall. Possible reasons for this are that Finnish educational policy development has not followed international mainstream trends and that flexible and extensive special education provisions have been built into our school system. Internationally acknowledged requirements for a good education are competent teachers and a school system’s commitment to take on the responsibility of educating children of all abilities.

Whether in Asia (e.g., Japan and Korea), in Europe (e.g., Finland) or in North America (Canada), many countries display strong overall learning outcomes; equally important, they show that poor performance in school does not automatically follow from a disadvantaged socio-economic background. Furthermore, some countries show that educational success can become consistent and predictable, with very little variation in performance across schools. These countries set the goals to which others can aspire. This article sets out some of the key policy levers that are associated with high levels of quality in students’ learning outcomes as well as an equitable distribution of learning opportunities as measured by PISA.

As they adjust to their new situation they will begin to develop new ideas of what the future will hold. Supporting families is a key theme in current government policy, hence the development of the Early Support Programme. In this paper Fran Russell, who has a son with a learning disability, sets out the rationale for supporting parents through focusing on their expectations. She presents the findings of a research study, conducted as part of her Education Doctorate at Leeds University, which investigated parents’ expectations as their disabled child started school. The findings indicate what can help and/or hinder parents developing expectations that are likely to have positive outcomes and so enhance the relationships families develop with support professionals and practitioners. Finally she proposes the development of an Early Years Transition Plan to facilitate this process based on the Family Service Plan, currently being introduced.

A constant feature has been the continuing growth of special class placements. In 2008, upwards of 6.1% of the students in comprehensive schools were placed in special classes at least part-time. The legitimization of the separate special class system is strong. In opposition to inclusion, the official policy promotes early intervention as a main area of development in special education. There are no visible interest groups questioning this ongoing development. The high legitimacy and constant growth of segregated special education can be understood as a consequence of the individual funding model, teacher professionalism and the Finnish value system originating from the late modernisation of overall society.

The first section “Two parallel concerns” retraces the inescapable connections between the educational aspects of inclusive education and more general concerns regarding inequality. The second section “Inclusive education in academic publications” scrutinizes academic publications and identifies two major themes among their contents: at first sight the internal transformations occurring in schools attract attention, but subsequently the territorial environment also gives rise to some concern. The third section “Inclusive education in the publications of international organizations” notes our search criteria for sifting through the documentation of the World Bank, OECD and UNESCO. The IBE/UNESCO workshops reflect varied, though converging interpretations of the concept of inclusive education in different parts of the world. All the official publications, however, tend to concentrate on the internal dynamics of schools, and there are not many that take a look at relations between inclusive education and public policy. Our last section “The geographical dimension of inclusive education” puts forward a few arguments in favour of paying more attention to inclusive education at the local and national levels. The main reasons for highlighting the local dimension arise from the combined factors of social deprivation, the need to co-ordinate measures taken in schools and the possibility of allowing a significant opening for community participation. The main reasons for paying attention to the national dimension relate to possible synergies between inclusive education and the expansion of education (for example, is schooling progressing at the same pace at different educational levels?), as well as between inclusive education and social protection (for example, do the many educational conditions applied to cash transfers have consistent pedagogic implications?).

High-stakes assessments in market-driven economies have increased exclusionary practices. Using international databases and research studies, this paper provides evidence of the poor performance of high-stakes assessment policies, particularly in the United States. The authors analyse and compare the key assumptions and consequences of a market-based system of education with those of a system that is based upon the principles of inclusive education through a school-community model and examples from Europe and Latin America. These models demonstrate that the twin goals of quality and equity can be achieved within a system that addresses educational policy and practices more broadly than market-based reforms. Conclusions call for policy-makers to respond to the discrimination and exclusion of various populations around the world by considering the impact of current educational models and the potential they have to support genuinely inclusive education for everyone.

These workshops had the overall goal of initiating a participatory, consultative process in order to highlight key issues and challenges regarding inclusive education, to be presented at the 48th session of the International Conference of Education (ICE) 2008. Each preparatory regional workshop centred on four sub-themes around which the IBE Council has proposed to articulate the 48th ICE: Approaches, Scope and Content; Public Policies; Systems, Links and Transitions; Learners and Teachers. In the framework of conceptual dimensions of inclusive education, and the sub-themes of ICE 2008, this article identifies trends across regions within the ICE sub-themes and highlights points for future debate on inclusive education.

There have been numerous criticisms of difference scores, and the authors add to these criticisms by testing an implicit assumption of difference scores that has not been tested in consumer research. Specifically, difference scores assume that the components have equal and opposite effects on the dependent variable. This assumption is tested in a services setting in which difference scores are still widely used and in a laboratory experiment using a product. An alternative operationalization, the Direct Effects Model, is shown to be superior. In addition, as a result of treating the antecedents as separate predictors, it is shown that performance is the much stronger predictor of satisfaction compared to expectations. Such a finding could not be uncovered using difference scores.

It is based primarily on data collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews. The paper argues that parents interpret the laws surrounding the role of catchment areas in different ways and are able to justify their actions based on these interpretations. Finally, it examines the institutional side of school allocation, arguing first that although headteachers officially do not have the power to decide whether applications are accepted or not, they often cast the deciding vote and, secondly, that the system is kept intentionally non-transparent, to maintain flexibility. ER - TY - JOUR T1 - A Cross-Sectional Multivariate Analysis of Children’s Attitudes towards Disabilities JF - Journal of Intellectual Disability Research VL - 50 SP - 335 EP - 348 PY - 2006/// AU - Nowicki,E A N2 - Background: Past research has shown that children can be biased against peers with disabilities, but the association of attitudes with gender, age and disability preferences, as well as interactions between these variables, are unclear. The objectives of this study were to examine these issues in a cross-sectional, split-plot study to clarify: (1) if elementary school children’s attitudes towards peers with disabilities are related to age, gender and type of disability; (2) if interactions between these variables exist; and (3) if convergent validity could be achieved across three theoretically linked dependent variables. Methods: One hundred elementary school children between 4 and 10 years old were assessed for attitudes towards target children with no disability, a physical or an intellectual disability, and a combined intellectual/physical disability. Measures were completed in an interview format. Results: Attitudes towards a target child with physical disabilities and a target child without disabilities did not differ. There was a significant interaction for age and disability. Attitudes towards target children with intellectual and intellectual/physical disabilities were negatively biased, and were negatively associated with age. Results were consistent across measures except for a main effect of gender in one measure and a gender by age interaction in another. Conclusions: Children’s attitudes appear to be associated with several factors, including age and the presence or absence of disability. Gender differences in attitudes may be because of gender-based response biases rather than disability biases. Because of the multifaceted nature of childhood attitudes, cross-sectional designs with several dependent and independent variables provide an opportunity to examine consistency of results across measures and potential interactions between factors that may not be uncovered when variables are examined in isolation.

Working towards educational inclusion demands commitments, responsibilities and initiatives on the part of all parties to take into consideration the meanings and purpose of education and social justice, to engage and take collective actions in their struggle to combat the diverse forms of educational and social exclusion. This paper presents an educational initiative to implement inclusive education in rural KwaZulu-Natal, an area of South Africa that is most seriously affected by the pandemic of HIV and AIDS. Through the implementation of participatory video-making projects in two schools, the authors seek to empower the voices and actions of teachers in an effort to cope with the problems of poverty and marginalization facing many children. The outcomes of this type of participatory work with teachers have implications for the policy-making process, which in turn, could change the ways educational policy research is structured and implemented. ER - TY - JOUR T1 - At home or away? SP - 3 EP - 16 PY - 2002/// AU - Morris,Jenny AU - Abbott,David AU - Ward,Linda N2 - Despite increasing policy commitment by government to the inclusion of children with special educational needs in mainstream services, significant numbers of disabled children continue to be placed away from their family home and community in residential schools. Reliable statistical information on them is elusive and there has been a dearth of research on how placement decisions are made and what the experience of such placements for disabled children and their families is like. This article reports on the policies and practice of 21 education and social service authorities in England in this area, the patterns of residential placements and the apparent reasons for them. It also highlights points of concern in relation to the protection and promotion of the welfare of disabled children in residential schools, and the apparent lack of clarity on the part of local authorities with regard to their duties in this area.

Parents responded to a modified form of the Opinions Related to Mainstreaming (ORM) Scale (Antonak & Larrivee, 1995) and provided additional written comments. Parents gave strong support to the inclusion concept from a legal and philosophical standpoint. They identified social and emotional outcomes as benefits of inclusion, yet were concerned about possible social isolation, negative attitudes, the quality of instruction, teacher training and skills, and support from teachers and from other parents. Several background variables were related to attitudes. Stronger support for inclusion was given by parents of younger children, children with mild disabilities, parents who reported not knowing their child’s education placement, and those with college education. Implications for practices and future research are discussed.

Methods The present authors compared religious (n = 175) and secular (n = 420) Jewish students at a teacher’s college with regard to these variables. The authors used the Regular Education Initiative questionnaire, which investigates teachers’ self-efficacy and attitudes towards including pupils with different types of disabilities in regular education. They analysed the results according to the college students’ major and the type of disability (five types at three levels of severity). Results The results indicate that religious students are more willing than non-religious students to consider the inclusion of people with four types of disabilities and have a greater sense of efficacy for dealing with all types of disabilities. The hypothesis that the milder the disability, the higher would be the teacher’s sense of self-efficacy and her/his willingness for such children to be included in a regular class was sustained. The religious special education students were the only ones who exhibited willingness to include pupils with intellectual disability, and moderate and severe emotional disturbances. Students who majored in special education scored higher than all their counterparts on both measures. The results also sustain the hypothesis that there would be a positive correlation between both measures. Conclusions To facilitate inclusive education amongst teachers and students, the present authors recommend an intervention programme designed to help students acquire knowledge and strategies about inclusion. They also suggest enriching this programme with Jewish religious sources, which reflect positive attitudes toward people with disabilities.

The rapid increase in the number of charter schools suggests that this educational reform may have the potential to become a major factor in the education of U.S. children. Charter schools are serving a variety of students, and recent studies at the national level show that a sizable proportion of students being served in charter schools have disabilities. Yet few studies address the provision of special education services and whether the needs of students with disabilities are being met. The Enrollment Options Project at the University of Minnesota has been examining the impact of Minnesota’s charter schools on students with disabilities. Parents of students with and without disabilities enrolled in Minnesota’s charter schools were surveyed to answer questions about their experiences with charter schools. Results from more than 600 respondents who completed the survey are presented in this article. Parents answered questions about reasons for charter school enrollment, perceived changes in their child as a result of attending the charter school, level of satisfaction, level of parent involvement, and special education service availability. In addition, written comments provided by parents are qualitatively analyzed. The article concludes with a discussion of information gathered from parents and implications for further study, examining special education delivery and outcomes for students with disabilities attending charter schools.

In this article, Kirsten Kristensen, clinical phychologist and senior consultant in special needs education and development; Martin Omagor-Loican, commissioner for special needs education, careers guidance and counselling; and Negris Onen, principal education officer in the Ministry of Education and Sports in Uganda, describe work focused on addressing the needs of all learners, including those who experience barriers to learning and development, in ordinary, mainstream school settings. The authors draw upon a study of current attitudes, perceptions and knowledge about trends towards inclusion in Uganda. The findings indicate progress in the introduction and implementation of inclusive policies; improved professional development opportunities for staff concerned with special education at all levels; and relatively positive attitudes towards inclusion. The study also raises concerns, however, about the ways in which the education system is structured and managed in a country where class sizes are enormous and resources are few. The authors make a number of key recommendations for developing mechanisms, structures and capacity in support of inclusion at all levels and report positive and encouraging recent developments.

ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Inclusion SP - 60 EP - 66 PY - 2005/// AU - Jones,Phyllis N2 - Phyllis Jones is assistant professor in the Department of Special Education at the University of South Florida. In this article, she describes the work she did while acting as consultant to an Early Years Childcare Development Partnership (EYCDP) in the north of England. Part of this process entailed developing a Charter for Inclusion for the Partnership. Phyllis Jones and her colleagues decided to draw upon the views of children and designed a picture booklet, with questions, in order to encourage a small group of children, aged between six and 14 years, to talk about inclusion. Parents or primary care workers worked through the booklet with the children, exploring what inclusion may mean for them from general and personal perspectives. A total of 14 booklets were returned, with responses exemplifying the strong contribution children are able to make, not only to the philosophical drive for greater inclusion, but also to our understanding of what helps and hinders inclusive practice. Phyllis Jones reviews those ideas here and also reflects on some of the methodological issues that arise when researching the views of children in innovative and imaginative ways.

The study also examined how these attitudes are related to individual characteristics, such as experience with people with ID, major field of study and career interests. Methods The participants completed a series of measures developed in the USA: three measures of attitudes toward people with ID, a demographic questionnaire and a social desirability scale. Students completed the measures anonymously. Results The factor structures of all three attitude scales replicated the structures found in the USA. Attitudes toward the community inclusion of people with ID were negatively correlated with an endorsement of eugenics. Students in social work and psychology had more positive attitudes than other students. Participants who expressed an interest in a career working with people with ID had more positive attitudes than students with no interest in such a career. Conclusions Attitude measures developed in the USA can be used in Japan, and can provide useful information as well as an opportunity for cross-cultural comparisons. For a more complete understanding of the attitudes of Japanese people toward people with ID, these attitudes should also be studied using measures based in Japanese culture which have specifically developed to measure attitudes in Japan.

Board of Educationdecision, has influenced students’ social and educational experiences. Drawing on practice and theory, we focus on strategies for improving intergroup relations. In a series of sessions over four-weeks, 830 first and second grade children participated in Green Circle program activities designed to widen their circles of inclusion to include people who are different from themselves. Although the intervention did not influence children’s biases in sharing or how happy they would be playing with others who were different from themselves based on race, sex, and weight, it did lead them to be more inclusive in selecting their most preferred playmate. Implications for friendship development and improvement in intergroup attitudes are considered. He drew a circle that shut me out- Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout. But love and I had the wit to win- We drew a circle that took him in. -Edwin Markham (1936, p. 67) ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Towards inclusive education JF - PROSPECTS VL - 38 SP - 77 EP - 97 PY - 2008/// AU - Halinen,Irmeli AU - Järvinen,Ritva SN - 0033-1538 N2 - The article examines the Finnish system of basic education and the means it employs to support good learning and healthy growth and development for all students. The excellent learning outcomes of the Finnish comprehensive school indicate that it is possible to develop a system with both quality teaching and learning, and equity and equality for students. Throughout the article, special needs education is seen as an important, but not dominant, aspect of Finland’s inclusive policies. The article concludes with five theses central to a working model of inclusive education.

JF - Biometrics VL - 50 SP - 933 EP - 44 PY - 1994/// AU - Hedeker,D AU - Gibbons,R D SN - 0006-341X N2 - A random-effects ordinal regression model is proposed for analysis of clustered or longitudinal ordinal response data. This model is developed for both the probit and logistic response functions. The threshold concept is used, in which it is assumed that the observed ordered category is determined by the value of a latent unobservable continuous response that follows a linear regression model incorporating random effects. A maximum marginal likelihood (MML) solution is described using Gauss-Hermite quadrature to numerically integrate over the distribution of random effects. An analysis of a dataset where students are clustered or nested within classrooms is used to illustrate features of random-effects analysis of clustered ordinal data, while an analysis of a longitudinal dataset where psychiatric patients are repeatedly rated as to their severity is used to illustrate features of the random-effects approach for longitudinal ordinal data.

First, the problem of model specification and identification is addressed, outlining parameter interpretation. Special attention is devoted to the consequences on interpretation stemming from the usual choice of not decomposing the specificities into hierarchical components. Then a general strategy of analysis is outlined, highlighting the role of the exploratory steps. The theoretical topics are illustrated through an application to graduates’ job satisfaction, where estimation is based on maximum likelihood via an Expectation-Maximization algorithm with adaptive quadrature.

However, few empirical studies have examined relations among these variables in a causal framework, even when rhetoric of organizational change and its positive effects on parents, students, and teachers is abundant. The purpose of this study was to test a causal model incorporating school climate, school-parent communication, and parent empowerment and their effects on parental involvement and satisfaction. The present study employed a 71.2% sample of 42,818 parents (or 33,244 responding parents) from 122 elementary schools. Parent-school communication and school climate showed the strongest direct effects on parental satisfaction, followed by empowerment. The strongest indirect path to parental satisfaction was from school climate through informing parents. Other paths that showed weaker relations to parental satisfaction were: School climate-empowerment-informed; school climate-empowerment; and school climate-involvement. Parental involvement contributed little variance to parental satisfaction. Nonetheless, interaction terms (parent reports of individual-level school involvement x school-level parent perceptions of school climate, x being informed, x being empowered, x involved) showed that the relation of parental involvement to satisfaction was moderated by how well parents were informed, empowered and involved by the school, and their perceptions of positive school climate.

First, the problem of model specification and identification is addressed, outlining parameter interpretation. Special attention is devoted to the consequences on interpretation stemming from the usual choice of not decomposing the specificities into hierarchical components. Then a general strategy of analysis is outlined, highlighting the role of the exploratory steps. The theoretical topics are illustrated through an application to graduates’ job satisfaction, where estimation is based on maximum likelihood via an Expectation-Maximization algorithm with adaptive quadrature.

Based on this view, questions emerge with respect to equality and integration in educational systems. Although inclusion should be viewed as a requirement in a democratic society, along with the integration in schools of students from different social groups, the concept rarely becomes reality, despite its frequent acceptance in discourse. This article analyzes mechanisms that inhibit agreement on how equality and inclusion can be put into practice in education, taking as an example the case of Chile. One inhibitor is a lack of in-depth discussions about the major tendencies prevailing in contemporary educational systems. In addition, three types of segregation are linked to children’s exclusion from schools: charges for educational services, schools’ selection processes and the use of economic incentives. Finally, the article presents possible consequences of two pedagogical orientations: towards autonomous schools and flexible curriculum.

Partnership with parents is given an even higher profile in relation to educational opportunities for children with special needs. Yet many trainee teachers have only limited understandings of the impact on family life of a child with special needs; are uncertain how best to work with parents; and are not confident about the choices that parents may wish to make for their children. In this article, Chris Forlin, Visiting Professor at the Hong Kong Institute of Education, and Treena Hopewell, MEd student at Edith Cowan University, Western Australia, report the responses of a group of fourth year trainee teachers after listening to the story of a mother of a child with high support needs. Their discussion focuses on three themes emerging from the reflective comments written by the trainee teachers after the session: empathy, understanding and personal growth. Chris Forlin and Treena Hopewell review the value of this approach as a means of establishing in trainee teachers a greater desire to work more collaboratively with parents and family members. They also provide excerpts from the mother’s story to enable readers to experience the passionate spirit of the storyteller; to further appreciate the needs of parents; and to understand their desire for greater participation in decisions regarding their children.

However, there is still much to learn about the impact of these placements upon children and classrooms. Recently the Nuffield Foundation funded a two-year research project exploring the inclusion of primary-aged pupils with Down’s syndrome. The research focused on the inclusion of 18 pupils with Down’s syndrome who attended mainstream primary schools in six local education authorities (LEAs) in the north-west of England. The research team investigated the ways in which schools manage the inclusion of pupils with Down’s syndrome and the factors that contribute to the success of mainstream placements. In this article, Sam Fox, Peter Farrell and Pauline Davis from the University of Manchester discuss some of the findings from the study. These concern the support in place for the child and the attitudes of staff, other pupils and the parents of peers towards the inclusion of the child with Down’s syndrome. Evidence from the 18 case studies suggests that there is no single way to guarantee effective inclusion. The extent to which a child is effectively included in a mainstream class is likely to be influenced by a number of key factors, including the way in which the teaching assistant (TA) works with the class teacher. Inclusion is more likely to be successful when the class teacher takes a central role in the management of support and the organisation of a child’s daily educational experiences.

Based on the attributes emerging from the focus groups, a 20-item questionnaire was designed consisting of statements in four categories: Knowledge and Experience; Organisational Skills; Communication; and Personal Traits. The questionnaire was completed by 117 teachers. Results indicated that there was agreement between the focus groups and teachers who responded to the questionnaire. However, there was a mismatch between learning support teachers and classroom teachers as to what they regarded as being the most important attributes. Learning support teachers indicated that Knowledge and Experience was the most important attribute but this same category was not rated as highly by general classroom teachers. In the total sample of teachers, Personal Traits was rated significantly higher than the other three categories. Communication was ranked second which was significantly higher than Organisational Skills.

The children were in a range of classes, from special schools to schools where there was in-class help from a special teacher or teacher aide. Many of the parents favoured inclusion, some would if additional resources were provided, and a small group of parents favoured special placement. There were a limited number of negative attitudes to inclusion reported by the parents, and though some parents thought that some need existed for in-service education about inclusion, this was not a widespread view.

In South Africa parents also became the advocates of the inclusive education movement in the 1990s, paving the way for parents to be involved in the decision-making process regarding the school placement of their children with disabilities. The purpose of this article is to focus on the way in which equity, individual rights and freedom of choice manifest itself in the implementation of inclusive education with specific reference to the way in which parents experience it. Results indicate that the inclusion of a child into mainstream education is a challenging and dynamic process that starts with the parents’ decision to place their child in a mainstream setting. In spite of legislation and the desires of parents, the development of inclusive educational practises in South Africa does not always reflect the values of equity and individual rights. Failure to establish collaborative and trusting relationships between teachers, parents and professionals poses a major challenge and can have a serious impact on the outcomes of inclusive education.

He focuses on the contradictions between what some families have achieved, what they want for their children, and what society and its social policies allow. He demonstrates how the principles of inclusion that govern the lives of these families can be extended to education, community life, and other social institutions.The parents who tell their stories here have actively sought inclusion of their children in regular schools and community settings; several have children with severe or multiple disabilities. In discussing issues such as normalization, acceptance, complete schooling, circles of friends, and community integration, these parents describe the challenge and necessity of their children’s "leading regular lives."

The issue draws together a selection of articles that analyze these open debates at a deeper level. Special emphasis is placed on several issues: Should inclusive education be a comprehensive approach or follow a policy of piecemeal social engineering? How can educational systems pursue equity and quality simultaneously? What is the role of government, and of decentralization and autonomy? What teaching methods are needed, and what changes in teacher education, development and motivation? Finally, what are the roles of communities, social attitudes, and behaviours?

This does not require the introduction of new techniques; rather it involves: collaboration within and between schools, closer links between schools and communities, networking across contexts, and the collection and use of contextually relevant evidence. The authors draw on research evidence relating to teaching and learning, school development, leadership and the development of education systems. This research is mostly from economically developed contexts, but it is also drawn from the experience of a UNESCO teacher education project which was conducted in over 80 countries and case study material gathered by the Enabling Education Network (EENET), which supports practitioners in documenting their experience of working towards more inclusive education, primarily in the countries of the South.

The research process incorporated a questionnaire survey, analysed quantitatively, and a series of interviews with teachers to follow up on a range of issues. The analysis of the results takes account of a number of variables, including the gender of the respondents; number of years’ experience as a teacher; and type of learner disability. Emad Alghazo and Eman Naggar Gaad report that there is more work to be done on the development of an ’inclusion culture’ among teachers in the United Arab Emirates.

The content analysis of the materials focused on the following topics: (a) the legal and normative framework; (b) the current educational policies; (c) the proposed or adopted approach in terms of inclusive education; (d) the main target groups; (e) inclusive education and the curriculum; (f) the kind of indicators most frequently mentioned; and (g) problems and challenges for inclusive education. One of the main challenges for the countries in the region is the appreciable gap between the stated principles and vision on one side, and the actual practices of inclusive education, on the other. Thus, there is an urgent need to ensure that policies and strategies translate into concrete actions aimed at changing the institutional practices and pedagogical approaches in the school and the classroom.

The issue draws together a selection of articles uniting theoretical and field research dealing with the notion of inclusive education and the challenges encountered in the policy-making and implementation processes. These articles represent diverse, multifaceted theoretical, disciplinary and methodological approaches to inclusion. Throughout the issue, inclusion is seen as a guiding principle, helping to accomplish quality Education for All (EFA)—education systems that benefit from diversity, aiming to build a more just, democratic society. This special issue is devoted to the theme of the 48th International Conference of Education, “Inclusive Education: The Way of the Future” (Geneva, 25–28 November, 2008).

While the population as a whole, including the more deprived sectors, has improved its educational level over past decades, in more recent times there has been little to show for the considerable efforts made. It is as if the process had reached a ceiling, owing to practices of educational marginalization that are so embedded that they perpetually recreate themselves. The education system has lost its bearings because a new approach is needed with the emergence of the information and communication society, which implies a new definition of knowledge, cut off from its origins. The idea of “including” must also be a key notion in relation to the search for a fairer, more democratic society. This implies developing a number of viewpoints or fundamental attitudes when we consider inclusive education. There is the ideological/political point of view—which means developing the ideal of justice and democracy within the framework of education as a right; the epistemological aspect—which entails supporting the new educational approach in the very latest developments of the theory of complexity; the pedagogical aspect—which entails adopting the advances made in the new learning sciences in order to develop a new “technology of educational production” (didactics) that will guarantee the entire population’s ability to reason; and the institutional point of view—which requires reviewing the notion of a “school system” and incorporating other institutional spaces by considering the whole of society as offering potential “learning environments”.

JF - Contemporary Accounting Research VL - 21 SP - 925 EP - 958 PY - 2004/// AU - WEBB,R ALAN SN - 08239150 N2 - A strategic performance measurement system (SPMS) is a set of causally linked nonfinancial and financial objectives, performance measures, and goals designed to align managers' actions with an organization's strategy. This study identifies and tests features unique to the cause-effect structure of an SPMS likely to affect an important antecedent to managerial performance: goal commitment. Companies often set difficult goals for the multiple performance measures contained in an SPMS, but research shows difficult goals are significantly more likely to lead to performance gains if individuals are committed to achieving them. Two features central to the SPMS approach are predicted to affect goal commitment: (1) the strength of the cause-effect links among the nonfinancial and financial performance measures contained in an SPMS and (2) managers' beliefs in their ability to achieve the SPMS non-financial goals. Results from an experiment conducted with experienced managers show both SPMS features have a positive effect on goal commitment.

Call it by any name, the process is very vital, and it has always been practised by many companies worldwide for a long time. This process has been recently dubbed as the balanced scorecard. The balanced scorecard is a system of combining financial and non-financial measures of performance in one single scorecard. It includes performance measures for four perspectives: financial, customer, internal business processes, and learning and growth (innovation). It need not be restricted to four perspectives; more may be added. The social responsibility and environmental concerns are two possible candidates. The balanced scorecard focuses on the link between business processes and decisions and results. It is considered as a device to guide strategy formulation, implementation, and communication. It also helps in tracking the performance and providing quick feedback for control and evaluation. A number of companies in the USA and a few companies in India have implemented the balanced scorecard. The success of the balanced scorecard or a similar device will depend on the clear identification of non-financial and financial variables and their accurate and objective measurement and linking the performance to rewards and penalties. The proponents of the balanced scorecard claim that it aligns with strategy leading to better communication and motivation which causes better performance. This assumption could be the single most important reason for the popularity of the balanced scorecard. However, this may or may not be true in practice. This is an empirical question. There is a need to document the experiences of the balanced scorecard companies and establish the cause-effect relationship. There are several reasons for the use of the balanced scorecard by organizations: * The balanced scorecard is a comprehensive tool to understand the target customers, their requirements, and the...

JF - Management Accounting Research VL - 15 SP - 441 EP - 469 PY - 2004/// AU - Malina,Mary A AU - Selto,Frank H SN - 10445005 N2 - This paper uses management control, resource-based, systems-based and contingency-based strategy theories to describe a large U.S. manufacturing company's efforts to improve profitability by designing and using a performance measurement model (PMM). This PMM includes multiple performance measures relevant to its distribution channel for products, repair parts and maintenance services. The PMM is intended to reflect the company's understanding of performance relations among strategic resources, operational capabilities, and desired financial outcomes. The PMM also reflects its intended distribution strategy, the types of performance necessary to achieve that strategy by its distributors, and its desired financial outcomes. Furthermore, the company uses the model to evaluate its North American distributors and intends to use these evaluations as a partial basis for annual and long-term rewards. Thus, the PMM embodies the measurable portion of the firm's management control system of its distribution channel. The study addresses four research questions: (1) Are measure attributes important considerations for performance measure choice? (2) Does the importance of attributes differ according to firm strategy? (3) Does the importance of attributes for design and use differ according to firm strategy? (4) Does a company trade-off some individual attributes for others? The questions are investigated using qualitative and quantitative analyses of archival documents and interviews with top managers and distributors. Principal findings are that measure attributes are important considerations for choice and change of performance measures, design attributes are more important than use attributes, the importance of attributes does not appear to differ according to strategy, and some individual attributes are traded-off for other attributes.

By incorporating a wider set of non-financial attributes into the measurement system of a firm, the BSC captures not only a firm's current performance, but also the drivers of its future performance. Although there is an abundance of literature on the BSC framework, there is a scarcity of literature on how the framework should be properly implemented. In this paper, we use the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and its variant the analytic network process (ANP) to facilitate the implementation of the BSC. We show that the AHP and the ANP can be tailor-made for specific situations and can be used to overcome some of the traditional problems of BSC implementation, such as the dependency relationship between measures and the use of subjective versus objective measures. Numerical examples are included throughout.

The deployment of IMPs often requires shop-floor involvement and this might intensify the level of importance of shop-floor non-financial performance measures (SFNFPMs) of Employee Morale. On the other hand, human resource managers have long been concerned with measures of lateness, absenteeism and staff turnover (core SFNFPMs relating to Employee Morale), but from a diagnostic rather than interactive standpoint. This study investigates whether the level of importance of SFNFPMs of Employee Morale in manufacturing firms should be ascribed to the deployment of IMPs or to shop-floor involvement (human resource) considerations. In late 2003, a survey of medium-large Italian manufacturing firms was undertaken. The Italian context was considered particularly appropriate because Italian firms lag behind in their application of contemporary management techniques, and, until the late 1990s, industrial relations were based on a conflict relationship. Our findings suggest that, contrary to human resources literature, the significant positive associations between the importance of SFNFPMs related to Employee Morale and the deployment of IMPs seem to be independent of shop-floor involvement. Furthermore, the significant positive association between training (one of the shop-floor involvement variables) and the level of importance of SFNFPMs related to Employee Morale is found to be dependent upon IMPs deployment.

JF - Advances in Accounting, Finance & Economics VL - 3 SP - 1 EP - 12 PY - 2010/// AU - Ndlovu,Stephen SN - 10935770 N2 - The traditional paradigm in performance evaluation places emphasis on financial measures as drivers of organisational performance. This paradigm has of late come under criticism from academics and practitioners for its failure to capture important aspects of corporate performance when wealth creation is associated with intangible and non-financial resources within dynamic markets. Critics of the traditional measures advocate for performance indicators that are aligned to the company's strategy. The emergent paradigm in performance evaluation places emphasis on combining financial with non - financial measures. Non-financial measures such as customer satisfaction, operating efficiency, productivity, innovation, etc. are taunted as the panacea to address some of the weaknesses of the traditional measures. Non-financial measures are by themselves not without controversy. Critics of such measures point to the wide array of measures in existence and the lack of uniformity in their application as evidence of problems in this area.

It is, however, unclear how employees react to these new measures. This study hypothesizes that favorable employee behaviors will only occur if employees perceive performance evaluation criteria as fair. It is therefore important to ascertain if the use of non financial measures as performance criteria is procedurally fair. Based on a sample of 149 managers from the United Kingdom, the results indicate that the use of nonfinancial performance measures was perceived as procedurally fair. We also find that such perceptions are associated with higher organizational commitment which, in turn, enhances employee job performance.

A hypothetical case, complete with dashboard measures, was presented to MBA students and graduate accounting students. Participants were asked to identify the importance of various measures and evaluate the organization''s performance. Evidence gathered through the use of principal components analysis provided insight into the number of perspectives or components utilized in evaluating an organization''s performance and the relative weight placed on each of those components by users of dashboard measurement systems.The evidence suggests that the number of performance measurement components and their relative composition is situational. They depend heavily on strategies of the organization. Bottom-line financial measures like return on invested capital and net profit, while perceived as more important than their nonfinancial counterparts, were not part of the extracted components suggesting that they were viewed as outcomes to be achieved by controlling more significant nonfinancial measures.

We develop three primary types of BSC usage reflecting the successive phases in the evolution of the BSC concept and of its implementation in practice. This typology ranges from the BSC’s origin as a multidimensional framework for strategic performance measurement that combines financial and non-financial measures to its advanced usage as an integrated strategic management system that describes strategy by a cause-and-effect logic and that is linked to the reward system. We use this theoretical framework to analyze the spread, implementation and benefits of the different types of Balanced Scorecards. Moreover, the impact of size and industry on BSC usage is analyzed. Our sample consists of a clearly defined segment of the most important publicly traded firms in Germany, Austria and Switzerland and we achieved an overall response rate of 87%.

In general, it investigates the role of the choice of performance measures on the relationship between (a) strategic priorities and performance and (b) environmental uncertainty and performance. Two hypotheses are developed concerning this general relationship, predicting, respectively, a positive relationship between business unit strategy and performance through management's choice of non-financial measures of performance (H1) and a positive relationship between environmental uncertainty and performance through management's choice of non- financial measures of performance (H2). To test these hypotheses, a path analytical model is applied to questionnaire survey data from 52 manufacturing companies. As hypothesized, the results revealed the existence of a significant and positive association between management's strategic choice and performance acting through management's high use of non-financial measures for performance evaluation.

This paper provides an overview of the statistical evidence on the performance consequences of intangible asset measurement. Although the bulk of these studies provide at least some evidence that intangible asset measurement is associated with higher performance, many are limited by over-reliance on perceptual satisfaction or outcome variables, inadequate controls for contingency factors, simple variables for capturing complex measurement practices, and the lack of data on implementation practices. I conclude by offering suggestions for improving and extending studies on the performance consequences of intangible asset measurement.

While some authors demonstrate the positive effects of incorporating non-financial measures into the compensation system empirically, companies have encountered problems after linking pay to customer satisfaction. It's argued that reasons for this can be attributed to the measurement of customer satisfaction as well as to the missing link between customer satisfaction and customer retention and profitability in these cases.

These characteristics challenge the traditional design and use of performance measurement systems (PMSs). Contemporary approaches to PMSs emphasise the role of performance indicators for strategy implementation and advocate the adoption of non-financial indicators in addition to traditional financial metrics. We investigated the factors associated with the inclusion of non-financial indicators in PMSs used in relationships between headquarters and subsidiaries. Our empirical study is based on 141 questionnaires collected from Italian subsidiaries of foreign companies and 13 interviews with respondents. Non-financial performance indicators contained in PMSs refer equally to customer, internal processes and people measurement perspectives. Furthermore, we find that the inclusion of non-financial indicators is positively associated with relative performance evaluation, interactive use of PMSs, subsidiary size, headquarters nationality and subsidiary participation in the design of PMSs. Information gathered through interviews provides explanations of our results, and suggests that the inclusion of non-financial perspectives in PMSs contributes to the strategic alignment of international organisations by supporting learning and dialogue within relationships between headquarters and subsidiaries.

There have been numerous discussions about how performance and strategic management systems aid in the evaluation and implementation of strategy and improve corporate performance. However, the value of those systems to boards of directors has not been extensively discussed. The purpose of this article is to describe the use of non-financial metrics for CEO performance evaluations and offer specific guidance as to how boards of directors can design a performance measurement system that provides a sound basis for evaluating CEO performance. Design/methodology/approach - The sample for this study was drawn from Fortune magazine's America's Most Admired Companies industry list. Compensation committee reports found in 59 proxy statements were examined. Findings - Although there are a growing number of companies using non-financial metrics, results confirm that CEOs are primarily evaluated on financial criteria, indicating a narrow definition of corporate performance. Few attempts are made to ascertain and disclose the appropriateness of the performance measures and to demonstrate how these measures are consistent with the company's vision, mission, and strategies for long-term performance success. Originality/value - While some surveys have investigated the growing trend of using non-financial criteria, in this survey, these criteria are examined in the context of a multidimensional performance evaluation system. Also, a framework for improving the measurement and performance of CEOs is presented. This is an important part of an overall program that should be in place to improve overall corporate governance.

Performance evaluation is the key management control task. It provides measures that can be used to evaluate management performance. Corporate management applies performance evaluation system in order to assess the profitability of current foreign operations, identify areas that need corrective actions, and motivate foreign subsidiary staff. The success of a performance evaluation system is determined by its design as well as the implementation of that system. A great number of studies have shown that no single criterion can be used in evaluating the performance of all foreign subsidiaries. MNCs use a mixture of measures, financial and non-financial in order to evaluate performance. Conducted research indicated that three financial measures used by both the U.S. and U.K. MNCs are profit, return on investment, and comparison of budgeted and actual profit. The most important non-financial measures of performance include market share, relation with host government, quality control and productivity improvement. The successful implementation of a performance evaluation system requires the integration with the overall strategy. Performance evaluation system must include comprehensive measures, fair and achievable measure. It is best to use simple, clear and understandable measures. One of most important aspect in the designing of performance evaluation systems was the introduction of the balanced scorecard. It represents creative mixture of financial and non-financial measures. It provides management guidelines for creating shareholder value. Balanced scorecard focuses on integrated relations among the key elements of a business - vision and strategy and four perspectives, namely financial, customer, internal business process and learning and growth.

PB - Blackwell Publishing UR - http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/bpl/jpim/1998/00000014/00000006/art00005 N2 - When pressed to accelerate a development effort, more than a few managers have responded in terms such as “Good, fast, cheap … Pick any two.” Time-to-market decisions clearly play an important role in determining the ultimate success or failure of a new product. Just as clearly, however, speed to market is not the sole determinant of success. The seemingly offhanded “Pick any two” response points to the tradeoffs that product development managers must make in their decisions about development time and costs. Barry Bayus discusses the relationship between product development time and costs, and he formulates a mathematical model that simultaneously considers the decisions regarding time-to-market and product performance levels. He applies the model to two competitive scenarios, and he identifies the optimal entry timing and product performance decisions for various market, demand, and cost conditions. In the first scenario, a firm must decide whether to accelerate development efforts to catch a competitor that has just introduced a new product. Analysis of the tradeoffs among the various parameters in the model suggests that fast development of low-performance products is optimal under the following conditions: a relatively short window of market opportunity, a weak competitor, and relatively high development costs. For example, if the competitor is weak, high performance levels are not necessary and the firm can safely reduce time-to-market. Under the same scenario (that is, accelerating development to catch a competitor), the analysis suggests that fast development of products with high performance levels is optimal under conditions of relatively high sales and relatively flat development costs. In the second scenario, the firm must decide whether to speed development efforts to beat the competition to market. Analysis of the various tradeoffs for this scenario suggests that first-to-market status for a product with a high performance level is optimal under the following conditions: a relatively long window of market opportunity, relatively high sales, and relatively flat development costs. With a long product lifecycle, stable margins, and high sales, the firm can generate sufficient revenue to offset the increased cost incurred in speeding a high-performance product to market. Beating a competitor to market with a low-performance product is never optimal for the cases considered here.

Using data from the electronics industry, we develop and validate an integrated metric for clockspeed that takes into account both demand- and supplyside factors. We show that after controlling for product complexity and other factors, higher industry clockspeed is associated with faster execution in product development and manufacturing (e.g., shorter development time, quicker stabilization of production) and more frequent changes in organizational structure. Our findings on the effects of clockspeed can help researchers studying other industries, and our results provide benchmarks against which practitioners can compare and classify their own organizations.

However, very limited empirical information on this topic is available. In this paper, product lifetimes are directly measured as the time between product introduction and withdrawal. Statistical analyzes of desktop personal computer models introduced between 1974 and 1992 are conducted at various product market levels. Results indicate that (1) product technology and product model lifetimes have not accelerated, and (2) manufacturers have not systematically reduced the life-cycles of products within their lines. Instead, the products of firms that have entered this industry in the more recent years tend to be based on previously existing technology, and, not surprisingly, these products have lifetimes that are shorter than those of established firms. Implications of these findings are discussed.

(2) What should its performance level be? and (3) How do the decisions of a competing firm affect a firm's timing and product performance decisions? The authors present a detailed case study of the initial competitors in the personal digital assistant (PDA) industry on the basis of which they construct stylized game-theoretic model of entry timing and product performance level decisions in a duopoly. Situations in which the duopolists are symmetric as well as asymmetric in terms of their estimates of market size and product development capabilities are considered. When firms are symmetric, the authors show that an equilibrium exists when the firms enter at different times with different performance levels. In the asymmetric cases, the firm that has a higher estimate of market size enters first, as does the firm with a superior development process. The performance level decisions, however, depend on the sensitivity of demand to this variable. The results provide one explanation for empirical observations that market pioneers maintain their leadership in some cases, and later entrants eventually dominate in other cases. The authors then relate the model results to actual decisions in the PDA market, finding that Apple's Newton was "too little, too early."

KW - speed to market KW - time pacing KW - markov decision processes PB - INFORMS UR - http://www.jstor.org/stable/30046092 N2 - We study how industry clockspeed, internal firm factors, such as product development, production, and inventory costs, and competitive factors determine a firm's optimal new-product introduction timing and product-quality decisions. We explicitly model market demand uncertainty, a firm's internal cost structure, and competition, using an infinite-horizon Markov decision process. Based on a large-scale numerical analysis, we find that more frequent new-product introductions are optimal under faster clockspeed conditions. In addition, we find that a firm's optimal product-quality decision is governed by a firm's relative costs of introducing new products with incremental versus more substantial improvements. We show that a time-pacing product introduction strategy results in a production policy with a simple base-stock form and performs well relative to the optimal policy. Our results thus provide analytical support for the managerial belief that industry clockspeed and time to market are closely related.

To survive, firms must respond to these new markets. How do firms develop the capabilities necessary to succeed in such changing conditions? Some suggest that experience with previous entry builds such capabilities. Others suggest that capabilities arise from experience producing and selling to existing markets. The role of managers is also debated. Some argue that experience with existing markets causes managers to miss entry opportunities. Others argue that managers enter new markets when their firm possesses the experience needed to compete effectively.

While prior research suggests that corporate level diversification accounts for relatively little variation in performance, within-business diversification matters a great deal, by influencing which start-ups survive and which firms better cope with rapid environmental change. Specifically, we find that the relationship between within business diversity and survival is contingent on the amount of environmental change wrought by a firm's competitors as they simultaneously diversify their own product portfolios and innovate technologically. Analysis of the population of U.S. personal computer manufacturers from the industry's founding in 1975 through 1994 supports our premise: Regardless of its effects across businesses, diversification matters a great deal within them.

In each case, problems were well recognized but had become entrenched and had failed to generate change. A cross the three sites, organizational change occurred only after some event altered the accustomed daily rhythms of work, and thus changed the way people experienced time. This finding suggests that temporal shifts-changes in a collective's experience of time-can help to facilitate organizational change. Specifically, we suggest that temporal shifts enable change in four ways: (1) by creating a trigger for change, (2) by providing resources needed for change, (3) by acting as a coordinating mechanism, and (4) by serving as a credible symbol of the need to change.

Selling virtual goods for real money is an increasingly common revenue model not only for online games and virtual worlds, but for social networking sites and other mainstream online services as well. What drives consumer spending on virtual items is an increasingly relevant question, but little research has been devoted to the topic so far. Previous literature suggests that de- mand for virtual items is based on the items’ ability to confer gameplay advantages on one hand, and on the items’ decorative value on the other hand. In this paper, I adopt a perspective from the sociology of consumption and analyse examples from 14 virtual asset platforms to suggest a more detailed set of item attributes that drive virtual item purchase decisions, consisting of functional, hedonic and social attributes.

Deep drawing provides a great application potential for the manufacturing of parts with complex shapes, even in very small dimensions. Concerning the so called size effects micro deep drawing is widely investigated. However, this process is carried out usually under laboratory conditions with a relatively low punch velocity, for example 1 mm/s. At the same time, the light weight of the forming tools for micro deep drawing makes it possible to vary the punch velocity in a relatively large range. Furthermore, raising the punch velocity is very meaningful for mass production in industry. Thus micro deep drawing with the punch diameter of 1 mm was performed with different punch velocities (1, 10 and 100 mm/s) in this work, whereby the process behaviour, especially the experimentally acquired process window changes with variation of punch velocities. The analysis in this work shows that the velocity dependent friction coefficients are responsible for the difference in process windows under different punch velocities. © 2010 German Academic Society for Production Engineering (WGP).EnglishFriction; Micro deep drawing; Size effects UR - http://www.scopus.com/record/display.url?eid=2-s2.0-77953931342&origin=resultslist&sort=plf-f&src=s&st1=velocity+technology&nlo=&nlr=&nls=&sid=pgS38kYz3RRi-Me4ToRQxXQ%3a130&sot=b&sdt=b&sl=34&s=TITLE-ABS-KEY%28velocity+technology%29&relpos=31&relpos=11 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Toward uncertain business intelligence: The case of key indicators JF - IEEE Internet Computing VL - 14 IS - 4 SP - 32 EP - 40 PY - 2010/// AU - Rodríguez,C.

AU - Stern,Ithai UR - http://www.jstor.org/stable/4131455 N2 - To understand the effects of selection on firm-level learning, this study synthesizes two contrasting views of evolution. Internal selection theorists view managers in multiproduct firms as the primary agents of evolutionary change because they decide whether individual products and technologies are retained or eliminated. In contrast, external selection theorists contend that the environment drives evolution because it determines whether entire firms live or die. Though these theories differ, they describe tightly interwoven processes. In assessing the coevolution of internal and external selection among personal computer manufacturers across a 20-year period, we found that (1) firms learned cumulatively and adaptively from internal and partial external selection, the latter occurring when the environment killed part but not all of a firm; (2) internal and partial external selection coevolved, as each affected the other's future rate and the odds of firm failure; (3) partial external selection had a greater effect on future outcomes than internal selection; and (4) the lessons gleaned from prior selection were reflected in a firm's ability to develop new products, making that an important mediator between past and future selection events.

On the basis of social network theory, the present study investigated whether the structure and composition of job seekers' social network determined their networking behaviour and moderated its relationship with job search and employment outcomes. The data were collected in a large, representative sample of 1,177 unemployed Flemish job seekers, using a two-wave longitudinal design. Job seekers with a larger social network and with stronger ties in their network spent more time networking, beyond individual differences in extraversion and conscientiousness. Networking explained incremental variance in job offers beyond job seekers' use of print advertising, the internet, and public employment services, but not in employment outcomes. Some evidence was found indicating that networking might be more effective for job seekers whose social network contains weaker and higher-status ties. © 2009 The British Psychological Society.

Study I used a student sample simulating application for a fictitious management intern job with a state personnel agency (N = 117) and employed a longitudinal, laboratory-based design. Study 2 employed afield sample of actual applicants (N = 396) applying for jobs online. As predicted, procedural justice mediated the relationship between personal information privacy concerns and test-taking motivation, organizational attraction, and organizational intentions in the laboratory and field. Experience with computers moderated the relationship between procedural justice with test-taking motivation and organizational intentions in the field but not in the laboratory sample. Implications are discussed in terms of the importance of considering applicants'personal information privacy concerns and testing experience when designing online recruitment and selection systems.

Drawing from research and theory on persuasive communication and media richness and features, we propose and test a model of the effects of media and media features (amount of information, opportunities for 2-way communication, personal focus, social presence, symbolism) on communication outcomes (credibility and satisfaction), attitudes, intentions, and behavior associated with joining the organization. Results of an experiment with 989 undergraduate students show that a constant recruitment message delivered via different media (face-to-face, video, audio, text) influenced perceptions of features, and perceptions of features were related to important pre-hire outcomes.

The authors manipulated the presence of employee testimonials, richness of media communicating testimonials (video with audio vs. picture with text), and representation of racial minorities in employee testimonials. Participants were more attracted to organizations and perceived information as more credible when testimonials were included on recruitment Web sites. Testimonials delivered via video with audio had higher attractiveness and information credibility ratings than those given via picture with text. Results also showed that Blacks responded more favorably, whereas Whites responded more negatively, to the recruiting organization as the proportion of minorities shown giving testimonials on the recruitment Web site increased. However, post hoc analyses revealed that use of a richer medium (video with audio vs. picture with text) to communicate employee testimonials tended to attenuate these racial effects.

In the generating applicants phase of recruitment, critical contact may consist largely of interactions with recruitment sources (e.g., newspaper ads, job fairs, organization Web sites); however, research has yet to fully address how all 3 types of signaling mechanisms influence early job pursuit decisions in the context of organizational recruitment Web sites. Results based on data from 814 student participants searching actual organization Web sites support and extend signaling and brand equity theories by showing that job information (directly) and organization information (indirectly) are related to intentions to pursue employment when a priori perceptions of image are controlled. A priori organization image is related to pursuit intentions when subsequent information search is controlled, but organization familiarity is not, and attitudes about a recruitment source also influence attraction and partially mediate the effects of organization information. Theoretical and practical implications for recruitment are discussed.

The present study investigated if and under what conditions word-of-mouth communication matters as a recruitment source. Results (N = 171) indicated that word of mouth had a strong impact on organizational attractiveness, and negative word of mouth interfered with recruitment advertising effects. Word of mouth from a strong tie was perceived as more credible and had a more positive effect on organizational attractiveness. For potential applicants high in self-monitoring, word of mouth had a stronger effect when presented after recruitment advertising. Finally, the effect of word of mouth on organizational attractiveness was partially mediated by the perceived credibility of recruitment advertising.

Since the mid-1990s, a number of e-recruiting methods such as job boards, corporate career web sites, and e-recruiting consortia have been introduced into the labor market. Among them, e-recruiting with the use of a corporate career web site has been touted as the most efficient and cost-effective recruiting method. While the corporate career web sites have experienced a phenomenal growth, no formal economic models have been developed for the analysis and assessment of investment decisions in various e-recruiting technologies. In this paper, a mathematics-based economic decision model for e-recruiting technology investment is introduced to evaluate the economic impact of various e-recruiting technologies. A classical economic order quantity (EOQ) model was extended to include costs uniquely associated with recruiting activities such as staffing and coordination costs. We derive a minimum employment level for an optimal investment in e-recruiting technologies. The model suggests that the optimal investment cost increases rapidly near the minimum number of employees to be recruited, but the growth of the optimal investment cost slows down as the total number of employees becomes greater than the minimum number of employees to be recruited.

This study tested this assumption using a pretest/posttest design. Findings revealed that participants' organizational favorability, image as employer, and organizational attractiveness perceptions were affected by their viewing of organizational recruitment websites. Greater increases in favorable organizational evaluations from the pretest measures to the posttest measures occurred with organizations maintaining websites that were easy to navigate and/or that were appealing. Contrary to predictions made by signaling theory, recruitment websites had similar effects on the organizational impressions of all individuals, regardless of their familiarity with the organizations maintaining the recruitment websites that they viewed. © 2008 Elsevier Ltd.

While economists borrow from other fields like sociology or computer science, their approach of modeling of social networks is distinguished by the emphasis on the role of choices under constraints. Economists investigate how socioeconomic background and economic incentives affect the structure and composition of social networks. The characteristics of social networks are important for economic outcomes like the matching of workers to jobs and educational attainment. I review the theoretical and empirical literature that investigates these relationships and discuss possible implications of new, Internet based, forms of social interactions. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.

Conventional wisdom holds that the viral marketing process is both random and unmanageable. In this paper, we deconstruct the process and investigate the formation of the activated digital network as distinct from the underlying social network. We then consider the impact of the social structure of digital networks (random, scale free, and small world) and of the transmission behavior of individuals on campaign performance. Specifically, we identify alternative social network models to understand the mediating effects of the social structures of these models on viral marketing campaigns. Next, we analyse an actual viral marketing campaign and use the empirical data to develop and validate a computer simulation model for viral marketing. Finally, we conduct a number of simulation experiments to predict the spread of a viral message within different types of social network structures under different assumptions and scenarios. Our findings confirm that the social structure of digital networks play a critical role in the spread of a viral message. Managers seeking to optimize campaign performance should give consideration to these findings before designing and implementing viral marketing campaigns. We also demonstrate how a simulation model is used to quantify the impact of campaign management inputs and how these learnings can support managerial decision making.

By simply logging on to the Web, company recruiters can locate vast numbers of qualified candidates for jobs at every level, screen them in minutes, and contact the most promising ones immediately. The payoffs can be enormous: it costs substantially less to hire someone on-line, and the time saved is equally great. In this article, Peter Cappelli examines some of the emerging service providers and technologies-matchmakers,job boards, hiring management systems software, and applicant-screening mechanisms that test skills and record interests. He also looks at some of the strategies companies are adopting as they enter on-line labor markets. Recruiting needs to be refashioned to resemble marketing, he stresses. Accordingly, smart companies are designing Web pages, and even product ads, with potential recruits in mind. They're giving line managers authority to hire so that candidates in cyberspace aren't lost. They're building internal on-line job networks to retain talent. Integrating recruiting efforts with overall marketing campaigns, especially through coordination and identification with the company's brand, is the most important thing companies can do to ensure success in on-line hiring. Along the way, Cappelli sounds two cautionary notes. First, a human touch, not electronic contact, is vital in the last steps of a successful hiring process. Second, companies must make sure that on-line testing and hiring criteria do not discriminate against women, disabled people, workers over 40, or members of minority groups. When competition for talent is fierce, companies that master the art and science of on-line recruiting will be the ones that attract and keep the best people.

In this study, the decision to use an online social network is conceptualized as intentional social action and the relative impact of the three modes of social influence processes (compliance, internalization, and identification) on intentional social action to use (collective intention) is examined. An empirical study of Facebook users (n = 389) found that collective intention to use a social networking site is determined by both subjective norm and social identity. Further, social identity is found to be a second-order latent construct comprised of cognitive, evaluative, and affective (first-order) components. Implications for research and practice are discussed. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Previous qualitative research suggests that distributed development may increase development cycle time for individual work items (modification requests). We use both data from the source code change management system and survey data to model the extent of delay in a distributed software development organization and explore several possible mechanisms for this delay. One key finding is that distributed work items appear to take about two and one-half times as long to complete as similar items where all the work is colocated. The data strongly suggest a mechanism for the delay, i.e., that distributed work items involve more people than comparable same-site work items, and the number of people involved is strongly related to the calendar time to complete a work item. We replicate the analysis of change data in a different organization with a different product and different sites and confirm our main findings. We also report survey results showing differences between same-site and distributed social networks, testing several hypotheses about characteristics of distributed social networks that may be related to delay. We discuss implications of our findings for practices and collaboration technology that have the potential for dramatically speeding distributed software development.

N2 - Research dealing with various aspects of the theory of planned behavior (Ajzen, 1985, 1987) is reviewed, and some unresolved issues are discussed. In broad terms, the theory is found to be well supported by empirical evidence. Intentions to perform behaviors of different kinds can be predicted with high accuracy from attitudes toward the behavior, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control; and these intentions, together with perceptions of behavioral control, account for considerable variance in actual behavior. Attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control are shown to be related to appropriate sets of salient behavioral, normative, and control beliefs about the behavior, but the exact nature of these relations is still uncertain. Expectancy value formulations are found to be only partly successful in dealing with these relations. Optimal rescaling of expectancy and value measures is offered as a means of dealing with measurement limitations. Finally, inclusion of past behavior in the prediction equation is shown to provide a means of testing the theory’s sufficiency, another issue that remains unresolved. The limited available evidence concerning this question shows that the theory is predicting behavior quite well in comparison to the ceiling imposed by behavioral reliability.

Its central theme is that organizational knowledge is created through a continuous dialogue between tacit and explicit knowledge. The nature of this dialogue is examined and four patterns of interaction involving tacit and explicit knowledge are identified. It is argued that while new knowledge is developed by individuals, organizations play a critical role in articulating and amplifying that knowledge. A theoretical framework is developed which provides an analytical perspective on the constituent dimensions of knowledge creation. This framework is then applied in two operational models for facilitating the dynamic creation of appropriate organizational knowledge.

In universities where research and development studies play an important role, knowledge management is of critical importance. Purpose of Study: In order to reach their missions, universities should have effective knowledge management. Since studies in this area are not sufficient in universities, in the development phase of knowledge management, universities should focus on areas such as how to use knowledge effectively and how to improve the current situation. The aim of this study is to find effective methods for instructors and universities' boards of directors regarding knowledge management and the use of its tools. Methods: Qualitative research techniques have been used in this study. In this research, 35 different academic staff members from different countries (Russia, Turkey, the UK, and Canada) and from four different universities have been interviewed. The countries have been chosen according to their level of development. In the interviewing process of research, the questions were related to how knowledge management tools were used. The research data were collected between 15 March 2007 and 1 July 2008. Findings and Results: The results showed that knowledge management tools have not been used effectively by the universities of the developing countries in areas such as improvement of knowledge, acquisition of knowledge, sharing and evaluation of knowledge, and determining thedeficiency of knowledge compared to the universities of the developed countries. Conclusion and Recommendations: The teaching staff that represented Turkey and Russia said that they were not using these techniques; instead, they only brainstormed how to use and improve knowledge management tools.

In this paper we examine the 'black box' of knowledge sharing within Toyota's network and demonstrate that Toyota's ability to effectively create and manage network-level knowledge-sharing processes at least partially explains the relative productivity advantages enjoyed by Toyota and its suppliers. We provide evidence that suppliers do learn more quickly after participating in Toyota's knowledge-sharing network. Toyota's network has solved three fundamental dilemmas with regard to knowledge sharing by devising methods to (1) motivate members to participate and openly share valuable knowledge (while preventing undesirable spillovers to competitors), (2) prevent free riders, and (3) reduce the costs associated with finding and accessing different types of valuable knowledge. Toyota has done this by creating a strong network identity with rules for participation and entry into the network. Most importantly, production knowledge is viewed as the property of the network. Toyota's highly interconnected, strong tie network has established a variety of institutionalized routines that facilitate multidirectional knowledge flows among suppliers. Our study suggests that the notion of a dynamic learning capability that creates competitive advantage needs to be extended beyond firm boundaries. Indeed, if the network can create a strong identity and coordinating rules, then it will be superior to a firm as an organizational form at creating and recombining knowledge due to the diversity of knowledge that resides within a network.

In universities where research and development studies play an important role, knowledge management is of critical importance. Purpose of Study: In order to reach their missions, universities should have effective knowledge management. Since studies in this area are not sufficient in universities, in the development phase of knowledge management, universities should focus on areas such as how to use knowledge effectively and how to improve the current situation. The aim of this study is to find effective methods for instructors and universities' boards of directors regarding knowledge management and the use of its tools. Methods: Qualitative research techniques have been used in this study. In this research, 35 different academic staff members from different countries (Russia, Turkey, the UK, and Canada) and from four different universities have been interviewed. The countries have been chosen according to their level of development. In the interviewing process of research, the questions were related to how knowledge management tools were used. The research data were collected between 15 March 2007 and 1 July 2008. Findings and Results: The results showed that knowledge management tools have not been used effectively by the universities of the developing countries in areas such as improvement of knowledge, acquisition of knowledge, sharing and evaluation of knowledge, and determining thedeficiency of knowledge compared to the universities of the developed countries. Conclusion and Recommendations: The teaching staff that represented Turkey and Russia said that they were not using these techniques; instead, they only brainstormed how to use and improve knowledge management tools. With the benchmarking method, universities in developing nations had the chance to compare themselves based on their performance. Accordingly, they had the chance to identify the areas that needed improvement, to raise their performance, and to improve the quality of education. By organising visits to each others' universities, they would have the chance to compare different teaching techniques, and based on the data they obtained, they had the chance to make better evaluations.EnglishKnowledge; Knowledge management time period; Knowledge management tools; Universities UR - http://www.scopus.com/record/display.url?eid=2-s2.0-75949128427&origin=resultslist&sort=plf-f&src=s&st1=knowledge+sharing&sid=sd96uLwO0V3NUmLg6ly1-BY%3a50&sot=b&sdt=b&sl=32&s=TITLE-ABS-KEY%28knowledge+sharing%29&relpos=0&relpos=0 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Why should I share?

However, why individuals help strangers in these electronic networks is not well understood: there is no immediate benefit to the contri butor, and free-riders are able to acquire the same knowledge as everyone else. To understand this paradox, we apply theories of collective action to examine how individual motivations and social capital influence knowledge contribution in electronic networks. This study reports on the activities of one electronic network supporting a professional legal association. Using archival, network, survey, and content analysis data, we empirically test a model of knowledge contribution. We find that people contribute their knowledge when they perceive that it enhances their professional reputations, when they have the experience to share, and when they are structurally embedded in the network. Surprisingly, contributions occur without regard to expectations of reciprocity from others or high levels of commitment to the network.Electronic networks of practice; Knowledge management; Online communities; Social capital UR - http://www.scopus.com/record/display.url?view=basic&eid=2-s2.0-24144482419&origin=resultslist&sort=cp-f&src=s&nlo=&nlr=&nls=&sid=XaV77opEybxiKlqBf9tGkXY%3a280&sot=q&sdt=b&sl=38&s=TITLE-ABS-KEY-AUTH%28why+should+i+share%29&relpos=4&relpos=4 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Social capital networks, and knowledge transfer JF - Academy of Management Review VL - 30 IS - 1 SP - 146 EP - 165 PY - 2005/// AU - Inkpen,A.C.

We distinguish among three common network types: intracorporate networks, strategic alliances, and industrial districts. Using a social capital framework, we identify structural, cognitive, and relational dimensions for the three network types. We then link these social capital dimensions to the conditions that facilitate knowledge transfer. In doing so, we propose a set of conditions that promote knowledge transfer for the different network types.

Typically, researchers see such organizational advantage as accruing from the particular capabilities organizations have for creating and sharing knowledge. In this article we seek to contribute to this body of work by developing the following arguments: (1) social capital facilitates the creation of new intellectual capital; (2) organizations, as institutional settings, are conducive to the development of high levels of social capital; and (3) it is because of their more dense social capital that firms, within certain limits, have an advantage over markets in creating and sharing intellectual capital. We present a model that incorporates this overall argument in the form of a series of hypothesized relationships between different dimensions oi social capital and the main mechanisms and processes necessary for the creation of intellectual capital.

As a complement to previous research that has emphasized the dyadic tie strength component of informal networks, we focus on how network structure influences the knowledge transfer process. We propose that social cohesion around a relationship affects the willingness and motivation of individuals to invest time, energy, and effort in sharing knowledge with others. We further argue that the network range, ties to different knowledge pools, increases a person's ability to convey complex ideas to heterogeneous audiences. We also examine explanations for knowledge transfer based on absorptive capacity, which emphasizes the role of common knowledge, and relational embeddedness, which stresses the importance of tie strength. We investigate the network effect on knowledge transfer using data from a contract R&D firm. The results indicate that both social cohesion and network range ease knowledge transfer, over and above the effect for the strength of the tie between two people. We discuss the implications of these findings for research on effective knowledge transfer, social capital, and information diffusion.

It is believed that investing in social values based on mutuality, trust and respect could yield long-term benefits such as corporate well-being and innovativeness. The benefits are believed to be based on better knowledge sharing, lower transaction costs due to a communicative spirit, and a greater coherence of action. However, the concept of social capital in the field of information behaviour in organizations is new and needs a more solid theoretical framework. The objective of this paper is to contribute to a better understanding of how social and informative aspects are anchored to each other and to explore the mechanisms behind knowledge sharing. Possible measures and contexts for this kind of research are suggested.Community networks; Knowledge management; Knowledge sharing; Organizational culture; Social aspects; Social capital; Virtual communities UR - http://www.scopus.com/record/display.url?view=basic&eid=2-s2.0-7044233668&origin=resultslist&sort=plf-f&src=s&st1=Explaining+knowledge+sharing+in+organizations+through+the+dimensions+of+social+capital&st2=&sid=9W2O15NCKTyB-76C0hJV9gH%3a780&sot=b&sdt=b&sl= ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Determinants of individual engagement in knowledge sharing JF - International Journal of Human Resource Management VL - 17 IS - 2 SP - 245 EP - 264 PY - 2006/// AU - Cabrera,Á.

Whereas numerous information and communication systems have been developed to support such knowledge exchanges, practical applications have found that technology alone cannot ensure that knowledge will indeed be volunteered and exchanged, and whereas researchers and consultants alike have argued that culture and other human variables constitute key success factors, it is not clear what specific variables are at play, nor what management practices can affect those variables. This exploratory research investigates some of the psychological, organizational and system-related variables that may determine individual engagement in intra-organizational knowledge sharing. Results from a survey of 372 employees from a large multinational show that self-efficacy, openness to experience, perceived support from colleagues and supervisors and, to a lesser extent, organizational commitment, job autonomy, perceptions about the availability and quality of knowledge management systems, and perceptions of rewards associated with sharing knowledge, significantly predicted self-reports of participation in knowledge exchange. © 2006 Taylor & Francis.Job autonomy; Knowledge management; Knowledge management systems; Knowledge sharing; Openness to experience; Organizational commitment; Perceived support from colleagues and supervisors; Perceptions of rewards; Personality; self-efficacy UR - http://www.scopus.com/record/display.url?view=basic&eid=2-s2.0-30844452648&origin=resultslist&sort=plf-f&src=s&st1=Determinants+of+individual+engagement+in+knowledge+sharing.&st2=&sid=9W2O15NCKTyB-76C0hJV9gH%3a720&sot=b&sdt=b&sl=74&s=TITLE-ABS-KEY%28Deter ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Knowledge-sharing Dilemmas JF - Organization Studies VL - 23 IS - 5 SP - 687 EP - 710 PY - 2002/// AU - Cabrera,Á.

Modern information and telecommunication technology is available to support such exchanges across time and distance barriers. However, organizations investing in this type of technology often face difficulties in encouraging their employees to use the system to share their ideas. This paper elaborates on previous research, suggesting that sharing personal insights with one's co-workers may carry a cost for some individuals which may yield, at the aggregate level, a co-operation dilemma, similar to a public-good dilemma. A review of the research on different types of public-good dilemmas provides some indications of the specific interventions that may help organizations encourage the kind of social dynamics that will increase overall knowledge sharing. These interventions can be classified into three categories: interventions aimed at restructuring the pay-offs for contributing, those that try to increase efficacy perceptions, and those that make employees' sense of group identity and personal responsibility more salient.Co-operation; Knowledge management; Organizational knowledge; Social dilemmas UR - http://www.scopus.com/record/display.url?view=basic&eid=2-s2.0-0141755178&origin=resultslist&sort=plf-f&src=s&sid=9W2O15NCKTyB-76C0hJV9gH%3a660&sot=q&sdt=b&sl=46&s=TITLE-ABS-KEY-AUTH%28Knowledge-sharing+Dilemmas%29&relpos=19&relpos=19 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Motivation and barriers to participation in virtual knowledge-sharing communities of practice JF - Journal of knowledge management VL - 7 IS - 1 SP - 64 EP - 77 PY - 2003/// AU - Ardichvili,A.

However, still very few studies examined them from both personal and environmental perspectives. In order to explore the knowledge sharing behaviors within the virtual communities of professional societies, this study proposed a social cognitive theory (SCT)-based model that includes knowledge sharing self-efficacy and outcome expectations for personal influences, and multi-dimensional trusts for environmental influences. The proposed research model was then evaluated with structural equation modeling, and confirmatory factor analysis was also applied to test if the empirical data conform to the proposed model. © 2006 Elsevier Ltd.

In this article we recognize that knowledge application, among the three phases of knowledge management, has received little research attention. Paradoxically, this phase contributed most to value creation. Extending communication theory, we identify four challenges to knowledge integration in virtual team environments: constraints on transactive memory, insufficient mutual understanding, failure in sharing and retaining contextual knowledge, and inflexibility of organizational ties. We then propose knowledge management system (KMS) approaches to meet these challenges. Finally, we identify promising avenues for future research in this area.

This paper integrates the Social Cognitive Theory and the Social Capital Theory to construct a model for investigating the motivations behind people's knowledge sharing in virtual communities. The study holds that the facets of social capital - social interaction ties, trust, norm of reciprocity, identification, shared vision and shared language - will influence individuals' knowledge sharing in virtual communities. We also argue that outcome expectations - community-related outcome expectations and personal outcome expectations - can engender knowledge sharing in virtual communities. Data collected from 310 members of one professional virtual community provide support for the proposed model. The results help in identifying the motivation underlying individuals' knowledge sharing behavior in professional virtual communities. The implications for theory and practice and future research directions are discussed. © 2006 Elsevier B.V.

A large number of KM initiatives fail due to the reluctance of employees to share knowledge through these systems. Motivated by such concerns, this study formulates and tests a theoretical model to explain EKR usage by knowledge contributors. The model employs social exchange theory to identify cost and benefit factors affecting EKR usage, and social capital theory to account for the moderating influence of contextual factors. The model is validated through a large-scale survey of public sector organizations. The results reveal that knowledge self-efficacy and enjoyment in helping others significantly impact EKR usage by knowledge contributors. Contextual factors (generalized trust, pro-sharing norms, and identification) moderate the impact of codification effort, reciprocity, and organizational reward on EKR usage, respectively. It can be seen that extrinsic benefits (reciprocity and organizational reward) impact EKR usage contingent on particular contextual factors whereas the effects of intrinsic benefits (knowledge self-efficacy and enjoyment in helping others) on EKR usage are not moderated by contextual factors. The loss of knowledge power and image do not appear to impact EKR.

Rather, individuals tend to hoard knowledge for various reasons. The aim of this study is to develop an integrative understanding of the factors supporting or inhibiting individuals'knowledge-sharing intentions. We employ as our theoretical framework the theory of reasoned action (TRA), and augment it with extrinsic motivators, social-psychological forces and organizational climate factors that are believed to influence individuals' knowledge-sharing intentions.

Typically, researchers see such organizational advantage as accruing from the particular capabilities organizations have for creating and sharing knowledge. In this article we seek to contribute to this body of work by developing the following arguments: (1) social capital facilitates the creation of new intellectual capital; (2) organizations, as institutional settings, are conducive to the development of high levels of social capital; and (3) it is because of their more dense social capital that firms, within certain limits, have an advantage over markets in creating and sharing intellectual capital. We present a model that incorporates this overall argument in the form of a series of hypothesized relationships between different dimensions oi social capital and the main mechanisms and processes necessary for the creation of intellectual capital.

Proposes that an individual's knowledge sharing tendency is driven by a set of contextualised concerns and interests not unlike the notion of payoff in game theory. Furthermore, the decision to share or withhold knowledge depends on that which yields a higher payoff. With this premise, submits two objectives. One is to investigate if an individual's perceived payoff of sharing knowledge is contingent on the knowledge sharing behaviour of others. The other is to analyse the perceived payoff of knowledge sharing and determine if it can be characterised by an archetypical game in the game-theoretic model. An empirical study was conducted among nearly 100 students in a local institute of higher education. The scope was confined to the students' willingness to post asynchronous entries to an electronic discussion forum. Finds that the individual student's perceived payoff of sharing knowledge was contingent on the knowledge sharing behaviour of others. Furthermore, the perceived payoff of knowledge sharing among them could be characterised by a multi-person assurance game. In conclusion, discusses three implications for managers who aim to sustain asynchronous knowledge sharing in their organisations.Game theory; Knowledge management; Payback UR - http://www.scopus.com/record/display.url?view=basic&eid=2-s2.0-0037599549&origin=resultslist&sort=plf-f&src=s&sid=4ZAmwlLxG-VB_LwPzYAv1C9%3a110&sot=q&sdt=b&sl=57&s=TITLE-ABS-KEY-AUTH%28Knowledge+sharing%3a+A+game+people+play%29&relpos=1&relpos=1 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Problems associated with investment in advanced manufacturing technology from the management point of view JF - WSEAS Transactions on Systems VL - 8 IS - 6 SP - 753 EP - 762 PY - 2009/// AU - Hynek,J.

Moreover, manufacturing companies in economically developed countries cannot rely on cheap labor force and massive investments into advanced manufacturing technology seem to be inevitable necessity for them. On the other hand, these companies are under constant economic pressure and their managers are pushed to economize and cut cost whenever possible. Taking into account that investment into advanced technology is as a rule rather expensive, long-term nature and associated with a higher degree of risk especially if the particular company lacks experience with the particular type of technology, it is clear that the relevant decision making processes are not easy and straightforward ones. We will describe here some problems associated with investment into advanced manufacturing technology from the management point of view. We will demonstrate that managers show rather reserved attitude towards relevant projects and admit many difficulties when deciding about investment into particular advance manufacturing projects in their companies. We will support our views by selected results of two surveys that we did in the Czech Republic and we will compare our findings with outcomes of the similar surveys in other countries too.Advanced manufacturing technology; Management attitudes; Short-termism; Survey results UR - http://www.scopus.com/record/display.url?view=basic&eid=2-s2.0-70349866544&origin=resultslist&sort=plf-f&src=s&st1=labor+market+flexibility&st2=&sid=YdrcnS2FJBe7NR2_AMbFTJr%3a30&sot=b&sdt=b&sl=39&s=TITLE-ABS-KEY%28labor+market+flexibility%29&relpos=0&relp ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Self harm in adolescents in Flanders JF - Tijdschrift voor Psychiatrie VL - 51 IS - 9 SP - 629 EP - 640 PY - 2009/// AU - fdfd, UR - http://www.scopus.com/record/display.url?view=basic&eid=2-s2.0-70349658829&origin=resultslist&sort=plf-f&src=s&st1=gedrag&st2=&sid=cak2v2XfANypebftz2F93jv%3a30&sot=b&sdt=b&sl=21&s=TITLE-ABS-KEY%28gedrag%29&relpos=0&relpos=0 N2 - BACKGROUND: Deliberate self harm is an important precursor to suicide. Little is known about the epidemiology and circumstances of self harm behaviour that cannot be treated with medication. AIM: To use international data in order to obtain insight into the prevalence, the circumstances and possible ways of presenting self harm in adolescents in the general population in Flanders. METHOD: With the frameworks of the Child and Adolescent Self Harm in Europe (CASE)-study 4500 Flemish adolescents were asked to complete an anonymous self-report questionnaire. RESULTS: 10.4% of the adolescents questioned admitted to having engaged in self harm on one or more occasions during their life. 7% (males 4.1%, females 10.1%) reported they had engaged in self harm during the past year. Self harm seemed to be strongly associated with a family history of self harm, physical ill-treatment and sexual abuse. Adolescents seldom sought help from adults and hardly ever from professional care workers. CONCLUSIONS: Deliberate self harm is more common in Flanders than in other countries participating in the CASE-study. Flanders needs to set up a school-based prevention campaign and should take steps to lower the barriers that currently stop adolescents from seeking professional help.Adolescents; Deliberate self harm; Epidemiology; Prevention UR - http://www.scopus.com/record/display.url?view=basic&eid=2-s2.0-70349658829&origin=resultslist&sort=plf-f&src=s&st1=gedrag&st2=&sid=cak2v2XfANypebftz2F93jv%3a30&sot=b&sdt=b&sl=21&s=TITLE-ABS-KEY%28gedrag%29&relpos=0&relpos=0 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Modelling deformations in car crash animation JF - Visual Computer SP - 1 EP - 10 PY - 2009/// AU - Chang,J.

We introduce a novel system architecture to accelerate the computation, which is traditionally an extremely expensive task. We alter a rigid body simulator to predict trajectories of cars during a collision and formulate a correction procedure to estimate the deformations of the collapsed car structures within the contact area. Non-linear deformations are solved based on the principle of energy conservation. Large plastic deformations resulting from collisions are modelled as a weighted combination of deformation examples of beams which can be produced using classical mechanics. © 2009 Springer-Verlag.Animation; Crash; Deformation; Physically based modelling UR - http://www.scopus.com/record/display.url?view=basic&eid=2-s2.0-68049124521&origin=resultslist&sort=plf-f&src=s&st1=cars+AND+mechanics&st2=&sid=o6RH-jfkc5rMj5S0CElBeY6%3a100&sot=b&sdt=b&sl=33&s=TITLE-ABS-KEY%28cars+AND+mechanics%29&relpos=7&relpos=7 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Optimizing screening and management of asymptomatic coronary artery disease in patients with stroke and patients with transient ischemic attack JF - Stroke VL - 40 IS - 10 SP - 3407 EP - 3409 PY - 2009/// AU - Ovbiagele,B.

Methods-: Following a guideline-based algorithm, we screened consecutive patients with ischemic stroke and patients with transient ischemic attack for asymptomatic coronary artery disease using the Framingham Heart Study Coronary Risk Score (FCRS) cutoff of high risk (≥20%) for experiencing a hard coronary artery disease event over a 10-year period. Patients with high FCRS received dobutamine stress echocardiogram outpatient screening, additional treatment (β-blocker), or further management (cardiologist referral). Results-: From July 2004 to September 2007, among 693 patients, 501 (72%) met study criteria, of which 80 (16%) had FCRS ≥20%. Elevated serum glucose, nonhigh-density lipoprotein, triglycerides, homocysteine, glycosylated hemoglobin as well as large vessel atherosclerotic stroke mechanism were more frequent in high versus low FCRS patients (P<0.05). Among high FCRS patients, 35 (44%) had dobutamine stress echocardiogram performed. Leading reasons for dobutamine stress echocardiogram nonperformance were patient noncompliance (42%) and primary care physician refusal (33%). Conclusions-: Screening for coronary artery disease risk using FCRS is feasible in hospitalized patients with stroke, but outpatient adherence to stress testing is challenging largely due to patient and primary care physician-related factors. © 2009 American Heart Association, Inc.Coronary; Framingham risk score; Myocardial infarction; Risk factors; Screening; Stress testing; Stroke; TIA UR - http://www.scopus.com/record/display.url?view=basic&eid=2-s2.0-70349655495&origin=resultslist&sort=plf-f&src=s&st1=heart+attack+AND+stress&st2=&sid=o6RH-jfkc5rMj5S0CElBeY6%3a30&sot=b&sdt=b&sl=38&s=TITLE-ABS-KEY%28heart+attack+AND+stress%29&relpos=0&relpos ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Column generation approaches to ship scheduling with flexible cargo sizes JF - European Journal of Operational Research VL - 200 IS - 1 SP - 139 EP - 150 PY - 2010/// AU - Brønmo,G.

This problem is similar to the well-known pickup and delivery problem with time windows, but the cargo sizes are defined by intervals instead of by fixed values. The flexible cargo sizes have consequences for the times used in the ports because both the loading and unloading times depend on the cargo sizes. We found it computationally hard to find exact solutions to the subproblems, so our method does not guarantee to find the optimum over all solutions. To be able to say something about how good our solution is, we generate a bound on the difference between the true optimal objective and the objective in our solution. We have compared our method with an a priori column generation approach, and our computational experiments on real world cases show that our Dantzig-Wolfe approach is faster than the a priori generation of columns, and we are able to deal with larger or more loosely constrained instances. By using the techniques introduced in this paper, a more extensive set of real world cases can be solved either to optimality or within a small deviation from optimality. © 2009 Elsevier B.V.

However, few knowledge management and acquisition tools have entered routine use, since such tools are not perceived by physicians as part of the clinical information process. An attempt to partially solve this problem, we identify two key aspects of knowledge representation and management tasks. The first is to adopt a medical knowledge standardisation to provide a consistent terminology control and to simplify the integration between knowledge management tools and the health information system. The second is to establish an effective knowledge acquisition process in specific medical fields by adapting knowledge acquisition tools. Therefore, the main goal of this work is to define computational models and to design mechanisms for the effective acquisition and management of medical knowledge in real-life hospital departments. To this end, we analyse the representation of medical knowledge (based on deep-causal models) and the development of knowledge management tools (based on ontologies), integrated within the information processing activities of the clinical user. Finally, we illustrate its applicability in the Intensive Care Unit and Pediatry scenarios. © 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

As a complement to previous research that has emphasized the dyadic tie strength component of informal networks, we focus on how network structure influences the knowledge transfer process. We propose that social cohesion around a relationship affects the willingness and motivation of individuals to invest time, energy, and effort in sharing knowledge with others. We further argue that the network range, ties to different knowledge pools, increases a person's ability to convey complex ideas to heterogeneous audiences. We also examine explanations for knowledge transfer based on absorptive capacity, which emphasizes the role of common knowledge, and relational embeddedness, which stresses the importance of tie strength. We investigate the network effect on knowledge transfer using data from a contract R&D firm. The results indicate that both social cohesion and network range ease knowledge transfer, over and above the effect for the strength of the tie between two people. We discuss the implications of these findings for research on effective knowledge transfer, social capital, and information diffusion.

Results of structural equation models indicate that (1) innovativeness mediates the relationship between quality and growth, (2) quality mediates the relationship between innovativeness and profitability, (3) both innovativeness and quality have mediation effects on market value, and (4) both growth and profitability have mediation effects on market value.

Perceived usefulness was significantly correlated with both self-reported current usage (r=.63, Study 1) and self-predicted future usage (r=.85, Study 2). Perceived ease of use was also significantly correlated with current usage (r=.45, Study 1) and future usage (r=.59, Study 2). In both studies, usefulness had a significantly greater correlation with usage behavior than did ease of use. Regression analyses suggest that perceived ease of use may actually be a causal antecedent to perceived usefulness, as opposed toy a parallel, direct determinant of system usage. Implications are drawn for future research on user acceptance.End user computing; User acceptance; User measurement UR - http://www.scopus.com/record/display.url?view=basic&eid=2-s2.0-55249087535&origin=resultslist&sort=cp-f&src=s&st1=user+acceptance+of+computer+technology&nlo=&nlr=&nls=&sid=mUTDoFEvocUHIQzvPpfaMM7%3a380&sot=b&sdt=b&sl=53&s=TITLE-ABS-KEY%28user+acceptance+o ER - TY - JOUR T1 - User acceptance of information technology: Toward a unified view JF - MIS Quarterly: Management Information Systems VL - 27 IS - 3 SP - 425 EP - 478 PY - 2003/// AU - Venkatesh,V.

In this paper, we (1) review user acceptance literature and discuss eight prominent models, (2) empirically compare the eight models and their extensions, (3) formulate a unified model that integrates elements across the eight models, and (4) empirically validate the unified model. The eight models reviewed are the theory of reasoned action, the technology acceptance model, the motivational model, the theory of planned behavior, a model combining the technology acceptance model and the theory of planned behavior, the model of PC utilization, the innovation diffusion theory, and the social cognitive theory. Using data from four organizations over a six-month period with three points of measurement, the eight models explained between 17 percent and 53 percent of the variance in user intentions to use information technology. Next, a unified model, called the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), was formulated, with four core determinants of intention and usage, and up to four moderators of key relationships. UTAUT was then tested using the original data and found to outperform the eight individual models (adjusted R2 of 69 percent). UTAUT was then confirmed with data from two new organizations with similar results (adjusted R2 of 70 percent). UTAUT thus provides a useful tool for managers needing to assess the likelihood of success for new technology introductions and helps them understand the drivers of acceptance in order to proactively design interventions (including training, marketing, etc.) targeted at populations of users that may be less inclined to adopt and use new systems. The paper also makes several recommendations for future research including developing a deeper understanding of the dynamic influences studied here, refining measurement of the core constructs used in UTAUT, and understanding the organizational outcomes associated with new technology use.Innovation characteristics; Integrated model; Social cognitive theory; Technology acceptance model; Theory of planned behavior; Unified model UR - http://www.scopus.com/record/display.url?view=basic&eid=2-s2.0-1542382496&origin=resultslist&sort=cp-f&src=s&st1=user+acceptance+of+computer+technology&nlo=&nlr=&nls=&sid=mUTDoFEvocUHIQzvPpfaMM7%3a380&sot=b&sdt=b&sl=53&s=TITLE-ABS-KEY%28user+acceptance+of ER - TY - JOUR T1 - The nature of theory in Information Systems JF - MIS Quarterly: Management Information Systems VL - 30 IS - 3 SP - 611 EP - 642 PY - 2006/// AU - Gregor,S.

Despite the importance of theory, questions relating to its form and structure are neglected in comparison with questions relating to epistemology. The essay addresses issues of causality, explanation, prediction, and generalization that underlie an understanding of theory. A taxonomy is proposed that classifies information systems theories with respect to the manner in which four central goals are addressed: analysis, explanation, prediction, and prescription. Five interrelated types of theory are distinguished: (1) theory for analyzing, (2) theory for explaining, (3) theory for predicting, (4) theory for explaining and predicting, and (5) theory for design and action. Examples illustrate the nature of each theory type. The applicability of the taxonomy is demonstrated by classifying a sample of journal articles. The paper contributes by showing that multiple views of theory exist and by exposing the assumptions underlying different viewpoints. In addition, it is suggested that the type of theory under development can influence the choice of an epistemological approach. Support is given for the legitimacy and value of each theory type. The building of integrated bodies of theory that encompass all theory types is advocated.Causality; Design science; Design theory; Explanation; Generalization; Information systems discipline; Interpretivist theory; Philosophy of science; Philosophy of social sciences; Prediction; Theory; Theory structure; Theory taxonomy UR - http://www.scopus.com/record/display.url?view=basic&eid=2-s2.0-33846102423&origin=resultslist&sort=plf-f&src=s&st1=%22the+nature+of+theory+in+information+systems%22&st2=&sid=mUTDoFEvocUHIQzvPpfaMM7%3a290&sot=b&sdt=b&sl=60&s=TITLE-ABS-KEY%28%22the+nature+o ER - TY - JOUR T1 - The identity crisis within the IS discipline: Defining and communicating the discipline's core properties JF - MIS Quarterly: Management Information Systems VL - 27 IS - 2 SP - 183 EP - 194 PY - 2003/// AU - Benbasat,I.

In this commentary, we begin by discussing why establishing an identity for the IS field Is important. We then describe what such an identity may look like by proposing a core set of properties, i.e., concepts and phenomena, that define the IS field. Next, we discuss research by IS scholars that either fails to address this core set of properties (labeled as error of exclusion) or that addresses concepts/phenomena falling outside this core set (labeled as error of inclusion). We conclude by offering suggestions for redirecting IS scholarship toward the concepts and phenomena that we argue define the core of the IS discipline.Errors of exclusion; Errors of inclusion; Is discipline; IT artifact; IT nomological net UR - http://www.scopus.com/record/display.url?view=basic&eid=2-s2.0-1242331196&origin=resultslist&sort=cp-f&src=s&st1=the+identity+crisis+within+the+is+discipline&nlo=&nlr=&nls=&sid=mUTDoFEvocUHIQzvPpfaMM7%3a90&sot=b&sdt=b&sl=59&s=TITLE-ABS-KEY%28the+identity+ ER - TY - JOUR T1 - The mobile commerce value chain: Analysis and future developments JF - International Journal of Information Management VL - 22 IS - 2 SP - 91 EP - 108 PY - 2002/// AU - Barnes,S.J.

Fuelled by the increasing saturation of mobile technology, such as phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs), m-commerce promises to inject considerable change into the way certain activities are conducted. Equipped with micro-browsers and other mobile applications, the new range of mobile technologies offer the Internet 'in your pocket' for which the consumer possibilities are endless, including banking, booking or buying tickets, shopping and real-time news. Focusing on business-to-consumer markets, this paper examines how value is added in the stream of activities involved in providing m-commerce to the consumer. As such, it analyses the key players and technologies that form part of the m-commerce value chain, providing a foundation for future strategic analysis of the industry. Drawing on some of the key factors that may influence the take-up of m-commerce - including technological and other issues - the paper also provides predictions regarding the future of m-commerce. © 2002 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.Mobile commerce; Telecommunications; Value chain; Wireless Internet UR - http://www.scopus.com/record/display.url?view=basic&eid=2-s2.0-0036532274&origin=resultslist&sort=cp-f&src=s&st1=e-commerce&nlo=&nlr=&nls=&sid=AZkuR6PgWueWVxNSWtwFBpD%3a130&sot=b&sdt=b&sl=25&s=TITLE-ABS-KEY%28e-commerce%29&relpos=41&relpos=41 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Building Consumer Trust Online JF - Communications of the ACM VL - 42 IS - 4 SP - 80 EP - 85 PY - 1999/// AU - Hoffman,D.L.

Because knowledge management as a conscious practice is so young, however, executives have lacked models to use as guides. To help fill that gap, the authors recently studied knowledge management practices at management consulting firms, health care providers, and computer manufacturers. They found two very different knowledge management strategies in place. In companies that sell relatively standardized products that fill common needs, knowledge is carefully codified and stored in databases, where it can be accessed and used--over and over again--by anyone in the organization. The authors call this the codification strategy. In companies that provide highly customized solutions to unique problems, knowledge is shared mainly through person-to-person contacts; the chief purpose of computers is to help people communicate. They call this the personalization strategy. A company's choice of knowledge management strategy is not arbitrary--it must be driven by the company's competitive strategy. Emphasizing the wrong approach or trying to pursue both can quickly undermine a business. The authors warn that knowledge management should not be isolated in a functional department like HR or IT. They emphasize that the benefits are greatest--to both the company and its customers--when a CEO and other general managers actively choose one of the approaches as a primary strategy.

However, most techniques in mining do not consider knowledge of the quality of the database. In this work, we show how to incorporate into classification mining recent advances in the data quality field that view a database as the product of an imprecise manufacturing process where the flaws/defects are captured in quality matrices. We develop a general purpose method of incorporating data quality matrices into the data mining classification task. Our work differs from existing data preparation techniques since while other approaches detect and fix errors to ensure consistency with the entire data set our work makes use of the apriori knowledge of how the data is produced/manufactured. © 2008 Elsevier B.V.

In this paper, we discuss many of the important IS success research contributions of the last decade, focusing especially on research efforts that apply, validate, challenge, and propose enhancements to our original model. Based on our evaluation of those contributions, we propose minor refinements to the model and propose an updated DeLone and McLean IS Success Model. We discuss the utility of the updated model for measuring e-commerce system success. Finally, we make a series of recommendations regarding current and future measurement of IS success.Evaluation of information systems; Impact of information technology; Information quality; Information systems success; Service quality; Systems quality; Use of information systems; User satisfaction UR - http://www.scopus.com/record/display.url?view=basic&eid=2-s2.0-0037368865&origin=resultslist&sort=cp-f&src=s&st1=delone+mclean&nlo=&nlr=&nls=&sid=ln3fQa1f1VJnvT0eE9za0oA%3a90&sot=b&sdt=b&sl=28&s=TITLE-ABS-KEY%28delone+mclean%29&relpos=0&relpos=0 ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Dynamic capabilities and strategic management JF - Strategic Management Journal VL - 18 IS - 7 SP - 509 EP - 533 PY - 1997/// AU - Teece,D.J.

The importance of path dependencies is amplified where conditions of increasing returns exist. Whether and how a firm's competitive advantage is eroded depends on the stability of market demand, and the ease of replicability (expanding internally) and imitatability (replication by competitors). If correct, the framework suggests that private wealth creation in regimes of rapid technological change depends in large measure on honing internal technological, organizational, and managerial processes inside the firm. In short, identifying new opportunities and organizing effectively and efficiently to embrace them are generally more fundamental to private wealth creation than is strategizing, if by strategizing one means engaging in business conduct that keeps competitors off balance, raises rival's costs, and excludes new entrants. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.Capabilities; Competences; Innovation; Knowledge assets; Path dependency; Strategy UR - http://www.scopus.com/record/display.url?view=basic&eid=2-s2.0-0342775775&origin=resultslist&sort=cp-f&src=s&st1=knowledge+management&nlo=&nlr=&nls=&sid=LLEFcYeLXui3Dddr_wE-Xsx%3a150&sot=b&sdt=b&sl=35&s=TITLE-ABS-KEY%28knowledge+management%29&relpos=0&rel ER - TY - JOUR T1 - A translation approach to portable ontology specifications JF - Knowledge Acquisition VL - 5 IS - 2 SP - 199 EP - 220 PY - 1993/// AU - Gruber,T.R.

A social network analysis was conducted in an effort to demonstrate that process efficiency gains could be achieved through redesign of social network patterns at the workplace; in conjunction with redesign of organization structure and the implementation of workflow over an integrated information technology system. Key knowledge experts and coordinators in times of crisis were identified and a new communication structure more conducive to trust and knowledge sharing was suggested. The new communication structure is scalable without compromising on coordination required among key roles in the network for achieving efficiency gains.
