Supporting Multi-Sided Platform firms to maintain rapid growth (and to avoid failure) over time through a Dynamic Business Modelling approach
2020
Over the last few decades, the diffusion of the sharing economy has nurtured continuous changes in business model opportunities with multi-sided platforms (MSPs) in many industries. MSPs are digital exchange platforms aiming at connecting unmatched demand- and supply- side participants through the use of internet technology. In many cases, such start-up initiatives have led to the creation of scale-up or high-growth firms (HGFs). However, in spite of the significant contribution to both economic development and employment, current studies seem to investigate primarily in an isolated perspective HGFs, MSPs and their business model innovation (BMI). The existing literature on HGFs focuses on …
Conflict Management and Negotiation in Family Business Succession: Critical Literature Review and research agenda
2017
This paper intends to stimulate a serious debate on the topic of conflict in family businesses and the theory of negotiation as a tool to resolve these conflicts. The methodology is based on the collection and systematization of the main literature on these topics. The study results show that, despite the literature on conflict management is highly developed as well as literature on family business, scholars and researchers have not yet deepened several areas of conflict management in family businesses, so the two fields of literature are yet not well integrated. The paper then proposes a research agenda identifying the issues and research gaps that should be explored by researchers in orde…
Foreign Market Entry Mode Research: A Review and Research Agenda
2017
ABSTRACTThis article gives a retrospective look at the main determinants of foreign market entry modes and examines the variables and conditions used in empirical studies in this stream of research. We found that there is an “analytical context hazard” in past studies. The findings suggest: first, future research should focus on developing and extending theories with reference to strategy dimension and market/industry environment; second, the interrelationship between the main entry mode determinants should be figured out; third, attention has to be paid to the entry modes of firms from non-developed economies in research.

Schatten über der Schwarzarbeit
2008
Die Diskussion uber Messung, Grosenordnung und Konsequenzen der Schwarzarbeit steht bereits deshalb unter einem Schatten, der den Blick dafur truben kann, weil Enste und Schneider trotz jahrelanger Befassung mit dem Thema Schwarzarbeit und Schattenwirtschaft nicht systematisch zu unterscheiden vermogen. Ihre Schatzungen fur die Dimension des Phanomens beruhen zudem generell auf wissenschaftlich nicht haltbaren Vorgehensweisen, die sie gleichwohl repetitiv anwenden. Die unterstellten Einnahmenverluste beim Staat ergeben sich im Ubrigen lediglich bei Vernachlassigung mikrookonomisch bedeutsamer Budgetrestriktionen sowie durch Auserachtlassung zwingender makrookonomischer Kreislaufzusammenhang…
Factores que determinan los honorarios de auditoría: Análisis empírico para México
2012
La escasa investigación internacional sobre auditoría en el ámbito latinoamericano ha motivado el desarrollo de esta investigación. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar empíricamente los factores que influyen en el monto de los honorarios de auditoría en México, partiendo de una muestra de 59 empresas que cotizan en la Bolsa Mexicana de Valores (BMV), durante el período de 2002 a 2008. La metodología empleada, en línea con los estudios previos, se basa en un modelo de regresión múltiple, a partir de un conjunto de hipótesis relacionadas con diversos factores que afectan la determinación de los honorarios, vinculados a la empresa auditada y a la firma auditora, recolectados de la base de …
A bibliometric analysis of cultural heritage research in the humanities: The Web of Science as a tool of knowledge management
2023
AbstractSubstantial research on the topic of cultural heritage has been conducted over the past two decades. At the same time, the overall output volume of journals and citation metrics have become important parameters in assessing and ranking researchers’ performance. Even though the scholarly interest in cultural heritage has recently increased world-wide, a comprehensive analysis of the publication output volume and its correlation to the shift in the cultural heritage regime starting in 2003 is still lacking. The article aims to understand the role of Web of Science (WOS) as a tool of knowledge management in academia by drawing on the scholarly output volume, the patterns displayed by t…
Education, Work and Life
2018
In this chapter, I will study the relationship between education and working life from a few viewpoints. First, I will examine how everyday working life has changed and how education has to change. Second, I will depict how the practices of both education and the working world can and should be researched in terms of the theory of practice architectures. Third, I will come back to reflect on the relationships between work, education and life. The work that people do has increasingly been immaterialized. Working life has been detached from material production which is more and more automated and robotically driven. According to a Swiss professor Schwab (2015, 2016), we have already moved int…
Governance of Projects: Generating value by linking projects with their permanent organisation
2019
Abstract There exists little research into how value is effectively generated by temporary projects from the wider perspective of a permanent organisation. This paper investigates empirically how ‘Governance of Projects’ – the way in which a single, permanent organisation identifies, creates, and subsequently harvests value through multiple projects – occurs in four private-sector case companies. Data were collected from in-depth interviews with a wide range of employees and from internal operational documents. These data were codified and analysed as evidence of the types and intensity of links between organisational elements. The results illuminate the complex interplay of links that are …
