Le partenariat public-OSBL dans les services sociaux. Le cas espagnol
1997
The article considers the social services supply in the Spanish area of Valencia. The objective is double. First the authors analyse what describes the partnership between public sector and NPO in this area, by using a systemic conception of the social services sector where three main functions can be identified (financing, production and distribution, and regulation). Secondly they search for theoretical arguments explaining this partnership principle. This second section is mainly based on the NPO approach.
Ethical preferences for influencing superiors: A 41-society study
2009
With a 41-society sample of 9990 managers and professionals, we used hierarchical linear modeling to investigate the impact of both macro-level and micro-level predictors on subordinate influence ethics. While we found that both macro-level and micro-level predictors contributed to the model definition, we also found global agreement for a subordinate influence ethics hierarchy. Thus our findings provide evidence that developing a global model of subordinate ethics is possible, and should be based upon multiple criteria and multilevel variables.

Spanish‐Moroccan Economic Relations
1997
The prospects for an effective Euro‐Mediterranean Partnership depend in part on some key bilateral relationships, one of which is the subject of this study. Spanish‐Moroccan relations constitute an important example of North‐South relations in the Mediterranean, although naturally some of their features are specific to the countries involved. While economic relations between Spain and Morocco are competitive in certain areas, the broader picture is of complementary interests which are likely to grow as the development of these countries intensifies. A programme of economic reform since the 1980s has prepared Morocco for greater development cooperation with Spain and the EU, but the economy …
La relazione educativa “affettiva”: ripensare il rapporto tra scuola e famiglia
2018
Educational co-planning and co-responsibility between school and family have been a subject of pedagogical consideration for several years. The literature identifies critical points in the construction of educational partnerships between them because of transformations occurred both in family and in school: they seem to have missed their clear symbolic value. Once, the roles of the adults (teacher or parent) were more important than the persons who actually embodied them; now, instead, we observe a loss in the symbolic value of generational gap and this has implied a change in the educational relationship. It is a shift from an educational style mainly based on authority and norms to one ba…
Exploring the role of the sharing economy in disasters management
2020
Abstract Improvements in information and communications technologies (ICTs) have facilitated the inclusion of the sharing economy (SE) in societies more than ever. In the aftermath of recent disasters, the SE played significant roles to help the affected people and support official responders. However, the literature has not effectively explored these roles, and thus, no framework can support the systematic inclusion of the SE in disasters management. This paper aims to address the gap through a two-stage exploratory research approach. First, we conduct a systematic literature review to identify the extent to which the SE is taken into consideration in disasters. After that, we investigate …
When industry and academia meet: the development of a robotized semiautomatic motorcycle transmission
2017
Abstract The development of the business - industry environment is unconceivable without the involvement of academia. On one hand, the universities can provide new perspectives and know-how which can be further translated into exquisite products and services for companies. On the other hand, the business environment can raise practical problems and challenges for academia, providing in the same time material support for finding solutions to these problems. This paper presents a successful partnership between business and academia materialized in the development of a robotized semiautomatic motorcycle transmission. Since the solutions existing on the market did not meet the specific requirem…

Eiropas Savienības un Kazahstānas divpusējās attiecības: svarīgāko motīvu pārskatīšana
2019
Maģistra darbā apskatītas ES un Kazahstānas divpusējās attiecības, uzsverot attiecību virzitājmotīvus un veicinošos apstākļus. Darba autore secina, ka sadarbība ar ES Kazahstānai ir kā iespēja paaugstināt tās ekonomisko modernizāciju un palielināt tās politisko leģitimitāti pasaules politikā, kas ļoti labi atbilst Kazahstānas daudzvirzienu politiskajam diskursam. Pētījuma rezultāti liecina, ka šī partnerība ir nozīmīga, tā kā ES saglabā vienlaicīgi pozitīvu virzienu uz Kazahstānu, neatkarīgi no tā, ka valsts turpina lēni virzīties uz ES vērtību sasniegšanu. Autore analizējusi šīs divpusējās attiecības, balstoties uz „pragmatisko modernizācijas” modeli. Maģistra darbā analizēts, vai būtu jāp…

Joint route planning under varying market conditions
2007
PurposeTo provide empirical evidence on the level of savings that can be attained by joint route planning and how these savings depend on specific market characteristics.Design/methodology/approachJoint route planning is a measure that companies can take to decrease the costs of their distribution activities. Essentially, this can either be achieved through horizontal cooperation or through outsourcing distribution to a logistics service provider. The synergy value is defined as the difference between distribution costs in the original situation where all entities perform their orders individually, and the costs of a system where all orders are collected and route schemes are set up simulta…
