Political practices of the judges in the city of Valencia. 14th -15th centuries
2020
L’anàlisi detallada dels compromisos personals i institucionals assumits públicament pels Jurats de la ciutat de València, en cronologies molt concretes, permet observar quines eren les principals preocupacions del govern municipal i avaluar en elles el grau de preeminència dels interessos del patriciat urbà. El creixent nombre de competències i obligacions adquirides per aquest executiu de govern se sincronitza amb el propi desenvolupament diacrònic de l’administració municipal. Les dades contingudes en l’acta del jurament institucional dels Jurats, documentada anualment des de 1325 als Manuals de Consells (llibres d’actes municipals) ens possibilita aquest estudi de base documental que pr…
Działalność Zagranicznego Komitetu Odbudowy Zamku Królewskiego w Warszawie (1967–1972)
2018
Zdecydowana większość emigracyjnych elit politycznych zajęła negatywne stanowisko w sprawie zbiórki pieniędzy na restytucję Zamku Królewskiego w Warszawie. W 1. połowie lat 70. XX w. na całym świecie działało jednak kilkadziesiąt komitetów i organizacji polonijnych wspierających ową inicjatywę, najwięcej w Stanach Zjednoczonych, Australii, we Francji i w Kanadzie. Chronologicznie pierwszy tego typu komitet zawiązał się jeszcze w czerwcu 1967 r. w Londynie, na kilka lat przed decyzją władz PRL w sprawie podniesienia z ruin byłej siedziby królewskiej. Przewodniczącym Zagranicznego Komitetu Odbudowy Zamku Królewskiego w Warszawie został Ignacy Czaykowski. W skład komitetu weszły osoby, które w…
The effects of mobile banking application user satisfaction and system usage on bank-customer relationships
2016
This study examines mobile banking (m-banking) application usage in Finland by linking it with customer-bank relationship development. Specifically, we examine how usage is related to relationship commitment, overall satisfaction, intention to recommend the bank and future intentions to remain with the bank. A survey was used to collect data from experienced mbanking application users. In total, 273 valid responses were received. The results support the hypotheses and reveal that user satisfaction with m-banking application usage has a strong positive association with usage of m-banking applications. Usage, in turn, was positively related to all examined bank-customer relationship related v…

The effect of organizational separation on individuals' knowledge sharing in MNCs
2017
Abstract The ability of an organization to apply knowledge globally has been conceptualized as critical for the existence of multinational corporations (MNCs). We argue for an organizational separation effect on knowledge sharing that challenges the view of the MNC as a latent social community. Using a unique data-set of more than 4000 individual responses from an MNC, Telenor, we test how three types of drivers for individuals’ knowledge sharing – individuals’ motivation, and individuals’ perceptions of organizational values and organizational work practices – work differently within, as opposed to across, business units. Our analysis suggests that while intrinsic motivation, innovative va…
Assessing the impact of organizational learning capability on product innovation performance: An empirical test
2008
This paper examines how organizational learning capability affects product innovation performance. We define organizational learning capability through five dimensions or mechanisms: experimentation, risk taking, interaction with the external environment, dialogue and participative decision making. The impact of these mechanisms on product innovation performance is also analyzed. We use structural equations modeling to test our research hypotheses on a data set from the ceramic tile industry. Results support our conceptual model and underline the importance that learning has for innovation performance. Implications of the findings for both academics and practitioners are examined. © 2007 El…
Online content consumption experiences as drivers of engagement behaviors and recommendation intention
2017
Internet ja sosiaalinen media ovat luoneet uusia tapoja yrityksille olla vuorovaikutuksessa nykyisten ja potentiaalisten asiakkaiden kanssa. Yritysten päättäjät ovat tietoisia sitoutuneiden asiakkaiden tuomista positiivisista vaikutuksista yritykselle. Sitoutuneet asiakkaat ovat usein tyytyväisiä, uskollisia ja osapuolten välillä vallitsee luottamus. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää joitakin asiakassitoutumiseen johtavia tekijöitä sekä sitä seuraavia asioita. Asiakkaiden itse kokemia ja raportoimia aikomuksia voidaan käyttää ennustamaan esimerkiksi tulevaa myyntiä. Sisältömarkkinoinnin rooli on kasvanut viime aikoina ja mielenkiintoisten sisältöjen tuotannon tarkoituksena on hou…
Union recognition in Britain's offshore oil and gas industry: implications of the Employment Relations Act 1999
2004
The Employment Relations Act 1999 (ERA) has provided trade unions in the UK with new opportunities for achieving recognition. After a long history of anti-unionism in the offshore oil and gas industry, employers have voluntarily ceded recognition to Trades Union Congress (TUC)-affiliated trade unions. The legitimacy of this recognition process has been contested by the non-TUC Offshore Industry Liaison Committee (OILC), an offshore workers’ union, seeking to act as a recognised bargaining agent. The ERA may be promoting ‘business friendly’ agreements at the expense of claims to recognition of other bargaining agents and of democratic employee choice.
Strangers on the board
2019
The internationalization of firms has led to boards becoming more international as well. In this study, we investigate the consequences of board internationalization. In particular, by drawing on research on language and board dynamics, we identify theory-based reasons why board internationalization could increase, or decrease, earnings management practices. We use agency theory, stressing how board internationalization may positively or negatively affect monitoring quality of boards. Next to agency theory, we use theories explaining how language differences in the boardroom complicates communication and how differences in language structures (referred to as linguistic relativity in the lit…
