Cluster and firm-specific antecedents of organizational innovation

2016

Based on the idea of the tourist destination as a cluster, this paper proposes a model to explain the relationships between exploration and exploitation capabilities – whether originating in the cluster or firm-specific – and a firm’s organizational innovation. This study turns to the resource-based view to provide a theory-based concept of shared capabilities accumulated in a tourist destination or cluster, together with valid measurement instruments to capture them. Our conceptual model highlights the theoretical and practical benefits for firms of being embedded in a cluster to develop both exploration and exploitation capabilities. The study also analyses the interaction between cluster…

2d GPR and geoelectrical modelling: tests on man–made tunnels and cavities

2005

B036 2D GPR AND GEOELECTRICAL MODELLING: TESTS ON MAN–MADE TUNNELS AND CAVITIES Introduction 1 Many engineering and environmental projects require geophysical exploration to minimize the geological risk connected with the presence of natural or artificial tunnels and cavities (air and/or water filled). Many studies have been carried out to optimize the procedures to investigate these cavities using many geophysical methods (Beres et al. 2001; Li et al. 2004). In this paper we like to confirm the reliability of combined geophysical methodologies (GPR and ERT) and relative modelling to detect and locate cavities in a particular site (Marsala Western Sicily) where

METALANG. Protocolo franco-español de exploración de habilidades metalingüísticas en niños de 6 a 9 años: un estudio preliminar

2012

International audience; In this work are described the principles of functional-pragmatic and the reasons for developing an exploration protocol for natural metalinguistic abilities. This study explains the base hypothesis and structure of METALANG protocol. This protocol consists in a Test and a Questionnaire for parents with two different scales: A = Ability, B = Frequency. Each element of the protocol has 6 sections and 40 items. It is performed a preliminary contrast with 12 subjects aged 6 to 9 years. Among the 12 subjects, 4 were diagnosed with dysphasia. METALANG shows high scores in reliability and internal consistency. This result confirms the hypothesis that it is possible a joint…

Construction et évaluation d’un modèle de simulation dans un contexte interdisciplinaire

2015

Le travail présenté ici s’inscrit dans le cadre de l’ANR TransMonDyn, qui vise à étudier les transformations dans les systèmes de peuplement sur le temps long, au moyen de modèles conceptuels ou implémentés sous forme informatique. Cette étude s’appuie sur un formalisme, développé au sein du projet, définissant la transformation comme une transition entre un régime 1 et un régime 2. Le projet TransMonDyn repose sur l’analyse d’un ensemble de douze cas d’études empiriques, les transitions, dont les localisations autant que les échelles spatiales et temporelles sont extrêmement diverses.

Empirical model evaluation and hypothesis testing

2016

Chapter 5 deals with the empirical model evaluation and the testing of hypotheses. It starts out with the evaluation of the measurement and the structural models, using the PLS algorithm. After the evaluation of the complete model, moderating effects are examined by conducting group comparisons (section 5.4.1) and by investigating interaction effects (5.4.2). After that, selected constructs are further examined by exploratory data analysis (section 5.5).

PRÁCTICAS DEL ANÁLISIS FACTORIAL EXPLORATORIO (AFE) EN LA INVESTIGACIÓN SOBRE CONDUCTA DEL CONSUMIDORY MARKETING

2012

El Análisis Factorial Exploratorio (AFE) es una de las técnicas estadísticas más utilizadas en la investigación social. El principal objetivo de este trabajo es describir las prácticas más utilizadas por los investigadores en el área de la conducta del consumidor y el marketing. Mediante una metodología de revisión documental se analizan las prácticas de AFE en cinco revistas españolas dedicadas a dicha temática (2000-2010). Se analizan las elecciones de los investigadores relacionadas con el modelo factorial, el criterio de retención, la rotación, la interpretación de los factores y otras cuestiones relevantes para el análisis factorial. Los resultados sugieren que los investigadores ejecu…

Interviews with Community Healthcare Registered Nurses in Norway: Examination Practices and Clinical Evaluation Processes

2021

Abstract Aim This study describes the examination practices and clinical evaluation processes that Registered Nurses in Norway perform in the community healthcare sector. Design A qualitative exploratory design. Methods Twenty interviews were conducted with Registered Nurses employed in the community healthcare sector in Norway. The data were analysed using a thematic analysis. Results We found four major themes: (1) evaluations are embedded in nurses’ daily work, (2) significance of a Registered Nurse's clinical competency, (3) different tasks require various roles and (4) access to resources and equipment. Registered Nurses possess several skills in a range of different examination techni…

Intra-urban spatial distributions of population and employment : the case of the agglomeration of Dijon, 1999

2003

The aim of this paper is to analyze the intra-urban spatial distributions of population and employment in the agglomeration of Dijon (regional capital of Burgundy, France). We study whether this agglomeration has followed the general tendency of job decentralization observed in most urban areas or whether it is still characterized by a monocentric pattern. In that purpose, we use a sample of 136 observations at the communal and at the IRIS (infra-urban statistical area) levels with 1999 census data and the employment database SIRENE (INSEE). First; we study the spatial pattern of total employment and employment density using exploratory spatial data analysis. Apart from the CBD, few IRIS ar…
