A happiness degree predictor using the conceptual data structure for deep learning architectures
2017
Abstract Background and Objective: Happiness is a universal fundamental human goal. Since the emergence of Positive Psychology, a major focus in psychological research has been to study the role of certain factors in the prediction of happiness. The conventional methodologies are based on linear relationships, such as the commonly used Multivariate Linear Regression (MLR), which may suffer from the lack of representative capacity to the varied psychological features. Using Deep Neural Networks (DNN), we define a Happiness Degree Predictor (H-DP) based on the answers to five psychometric standardized questionnaires. Methods: A Data-Structure driven architecture for DNNs (D-SDNN) is proposed …

Las pequeñas y medianas empresas internacionales pueden clasificarse en tradicionales, y empresas de internacionalización acelerada o born global. A pesar de que existe una variedad importante de investigaciones en el tema, ninguna ha establecido si existen diferencias entre la organización formal de una empresa de internacionalización acelerada y una empresa internacional tradicional. Mediante un estudio de casos a nivel comparativo, se establecen dos empresas internacionales tradicionales en la industria turística y de alimentos, y se analizan sus estructuras formales, con respecto a dos empresas en las mismas industrias con características de born global.

Therefore, this study fills the literature gap, adding novelties, showing evidence from the unexplored (or underexplored) European context and, consequently, shedding light to inconclusive results in previous research concerning the effect of audit committee (AC) and board characteristics on corporate social responsibility (CSR) disclosure by applying a novel research methodology: the fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis. The data were collected from Eikon database for a sample of the top 69 non¿financial European companies (ba…
El éxito de los procesos de fusión en el mercado de auditoría: el caso de PriceWaterhouseCoopers
2019
Este trabajo ofrece evidencia sobre el resultado de la fusión de Price Waterhouse y Coopers & Lybrand respecto a 2 de los objetivos que pretendían alcanzarse con la operación empresarial, como son el crecimiento de la nueva compa˜nía en términos de cifra de negocios y el aumento de la cuota de mercado. El estudio, aplicando metodología utilizada en trabajos anteriores, comprende el periodo 1997-2003, incluyendo 5 a˜nos posteriores a la fusión, que se llevó a cabo en 1998. Los resultados revelan que PriceWaterhouse y Coopers & Lybrand hubiesen alcanzado una cuota de mercado y una facturación inferior a la de sus competidores más directos en caso de no haberse fusionado, aunque las diferencia…
Firm survival: The role of incubators and business characteristics
2015
This paper analyzes the impact of business incubators on firm survival. Using a configurational comparative method, namely fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA), the article also examines whether degree of business innovation, size, sector, and export activity affects firm survival. Results show that, when combined with other variables (i.e. sector, technology), business size is a sufficient condition for firm survival. Likewise, incubators alone cannot affect survival. A combination between incubators and other factors is necessary to ensure firm survival. Sin financiación 2.129 JCR (2015) Q2, 40/120 Business UEV

Primero, identificar, revisar y sintetizar las teorías empleadas en la literatura para el estudio de la Responsabilidad Social Empresarial (RSE), exponiendo tanto sus preceptos fundamentales como las principales críticas a que se han visto sujetas. Segundo, se pretende establecer una clasificación de dichas teorías de la RSE basada en dos criterios: (i) la racionalidad predominante que subyace a cada una de ellas y (ii) la concepción del rol de la institución empresarial en la sociedad que defienden.

Determinants of silent and explicit industrial design
2018
This paper investigates the relationship between the use of silent or explicit design (SD or ED) and the characteristics of firms or sectors that use each of these types of design in Argentina. The findings show that SD differs from ED and that the differences have important implications for the creation of policies to support competitiveness as well as for the development of business strategies. The study contributes to the literature by identifying three groups of dimensions. (1) Structural. Neither size nor barriers to the use of design bear relation to the use of design. (2) Dynamic. SD and ED have different effects on competitiveness based on the different links each type of design has…
Research methods in business: Quantitative and qualitative comparative analysis
2020
[EN] Research in the social sciences is built on either quantitative or qualitative analysis, depending on the research context.

Thus, this editorial presents an overview of the literature on quantitative and qualitative research methods in business research to clarify some key issues on the subject. The following section introduces the papers included in the special issue on "Research Methods in Business: Quantitative and Qualitative Comparative Analysis" and highlights several novel ideas, emerg…
Elapsed time on first buying triggers brand choices within a category: A virtual reality-based study
2016
This study integrates neuroscientific tools such as data from eye movements, store navigation, and brand choice in a virtual supermarket into a single source data analysis to examine consumer choice, customer experience, and shopping behavior in a store. Through qualitative comparative analysis, the findings suggest that a high level of attention to a brand and slow eye movements between brands lead to additional brand purchases within the product category. This study points out that the key driver of additional brand choices is the time buyers spend on the first choice, showing that the allocation of less for the first choice triggers additional purchases Within the product category and, t…
