The Accumulation of Distinctive Competences in Family Firms

2020

Taking as its basis the resource- and capability-based view of the firm, this study provides an in-depth exploration of the ability of the family tourism firm to accumulate and develop the distinctive competences that are key to its success.

Contractual safeguarding of specific assets in cross-border and domestic buyer–supplier relationships

Safeguarding specific investments and mitigation of potential opportunistic behaviours are among the most prominent functions of formal contracting in buyer–seller relationships. Extending the extant literature, the present study investigates the relationship between specific investments and the extent of formal contracting in cross-border and domestic relationships. Based on a sample of 156 buyer–seller relationships, the analysis shows that there is a positive association between specific investments and the extent of formal contracting. However, the emphasis on formal contracting is stronger in cross-border relationships than in the domestic ones. Interestingly, the association between …

Tablets zur Neubestimmung des Lernens?

2016

Der Beitrag bietet unterschiedliche Perspektiven auf die Integration von Tablets an weiterfuhrenden Schulen. Den Ausgangspunkt stellt die Frage dar, ob sich im Zusammenhang mit der Tabletnutzung auch von einer Neubestimmung des Lernens sprechen lasst. Der Begriff geht auf die hochste Stufe des SAMR-Modells (Puentedura 2006) zuruck, auf der die Medienintegration ganzlich neue Lernaufgaben ermoglicht. Bastian geht der Frage nach, indem sie ausgewahlte Daten aus ihrer Begleitforschung an neun Schulen zeigt: Zum einen verdeutlichen Befragungsdaten subjektive Perspektiven der beteiligten Akteure. Zum anderen werden Wandlungsprozesse auf Basis konkreter Unterrichtsbeobachtungen evaluiert. Die Dat…

Transforming a class from the Psychology degree into a <em>flipped classroom</em>

2016

La flipped classroom es una metodologia docente que trata de modificar la dinamica de la clase tradicional, en la que el alumnado estudia la materia antes de asistir a clase (fundamentalmente mediante Tecnologias de la Informacion y Comunicacion), y el tiempo en el aula se emplea para clarificar contenidos y realizar actividades significativas, con el apoyo continuado del profesorado.

Sin embargo, la implantacion de esta metodologia en el grado en Psicologia es escasa. Por ello, el objetivo de este trabajo fue aplicar la metodologia flipped classroom en un tema de la asignatur…

The Psychological Foundations of Management in Family Firms: Emotions, Memories, and Experiences

2021

Exploring the psychological foundations of management in family firms is necessary to understand why they formulate and implement strategies differently from nonfamily firms, and why and how family firm behavior varies across different family firms. Picone et al. (2021. The psychological foundations of management in family firms: Values, biases, and heuristics. Family Business Review, 34(1), 12-32) have proposed a conceptual framework for the psychological foundations of management in family business, examining how the values, biases, and heuristics of family firm members affect strategic decision-making and family firm outcomes. Drawing on this framework, we examine emotions, memories, an…

Emotion Tracking

2020

Previous literature has examined the significance of emotional consumer experiences increasingly pursued by consumers. However, the current knowledge of emotional responses in real-time and real-world consumption settings is still limited. Emotions have previously been measured with observation, self-report, and physiological methods. Digitalization and technological development have, however, advanced these methods as individuals now engage in various self-tracking practices. The chapter introduces emotion tracking as an additional means for measuring emotions. One application, the Emotion Tracker®, was tested by students (n=19) who tracked their emotions (n=617) related to various consume…
