Chinese reverse M&As in the Netherlands: Chinese managers’ trust building practices

2019

Purpose Building trust is critical in reverse mergers and acquisitions (M&As), attributed to the divergence of governance and culture between the East and the West. This paper aims to explore the barriers and trust-building practices of Chinese managers in reverse M&As in developed countries. Design/methodology/approach The primary data set of this research contains case studies of two Chinese M&A deals and in-depth interviews with managers and advisories in the Netherlands. Findings This research finds that the divergences of decision-making structure, communication style and trust orientation generate barriers to the trust building in Chinese reverse M&As. The third-party…

Characteristics of lower crustal granulite xenoliths from the east Qinling orogenic belt and their tectonic significance

1994

The Tongbai granulites are present mainly as xenoliths in granodioritic gneisses. The xenoliths with a zircon age of 470Ma are older than the host rocks of granodioritic gneisses which yield a zircon age of 435Ma. It is suggested that the granulites were transported from the lower crust to the upper level along with granodioritic magma. Geothermometrical and geobarometrical studies based on the coexisting minerals (Opx-Cpx and Opx-Gar) show that the granulites were crystallized at 818 –840 °C and 9.5−9.8 × 108 Pa corresponding to the lower crust. Tectonically, the Shangdan suture zone constitutes the boundary between the North China and Yangtze plates. The zone is char acterized by the occu…

Time scale of an early to mid-Paleozoic orogenic cycle of the long-lived Central Asian Orogenic Belt, Inner Mongolia of China: Implications for conti…

2008

Abstract We present a detailed, new time scale for an orogenic cycle (oceanic accretion–subduction–collision) that provides significant insights into Paleozoic continental growth processes in the southeastern segment of the long-lived Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB). The most prominent tectonic feature in Inner Mongolia is the association of paired orogens. A southern orogen forms a typical arc-trench complex, in which a supra-subduction zone ophiolite records successive phases during its life cycle: birth (ca. 497–477 Ma), when the ocean floor of the ophiolite was formed; (2) youth (ca. 473–470 Ma), characterized by mantle wedge magmatism; (3) shortly after maturity (ca. 461–450 Ma), hi…

Sicily’s fold–thrust belt and slab roll-back: the SI.RI.PRO. seismic crustal transect

2016

Sicily is a thick orogenic wedge formed by (1) the foreland (African) and its Sicilian orogen and (2) the thick-skinned, Calabrian–Peloritani wedge. The crust under central Sicily, from the Tyrrhenian margin to the coastline of the Sicily Channel, has been investigated by the multidisciplinary (SI.RI.PRO.) research project. The project dealt with the nature and thickness of the crust and depth and geometry of the Moho, which is essential in formulating subduction models and improving the knowledge of African and Tyrrhenian–European lithospheres. The results resolve features such as (1) the main orogenic wedge, (2) the very steep, NW–SE-trending regional monocline suggesting inflection of th…

Kasvun tekijät : tutkimus Suomen teollistumisen ajan perustajayrittäjistä 1870-1990

2017

Company founders are important agents in business economics. I investigated entrepreneurs who founded successful, long-standing and high-growth companies. The data include 402 Finnish founder entrepreneurs who had founded a company and had been awarded the Finnish title of neuvos during the period 1917-2015 (i.e., since the beginning of Finnish independence). So far only few longitudinal studies have been presented on company founders in Finland. This study focuses on the era of industrialism in Finland and addresses the following research questions. First, what kind of entrepreneur groups are identified in different phases of industrialism when studying the backgrounds, education and work …

Origin and Evolution of High-Grade Gneiss Terrains

1990

In the previous chapters we have given an impression of the way in which the analysis of high-grade rocks can be approached in the field. Here we conclude with some current larger-scale ideas on the origin and evolution of such rock assemblages.

Tumsas koncepcija Austrumu un Rietumu kristīgajā misticismā

2015

Darbs veltīts tumsas koncepcijas izpētei Austrumu un Rietumu kristīgajā misticismā. Darbā ir aplūkoti dažādu gadsimtu autori, kuri pārstāv ietekmīgu un/vai uzskatāmu viedokli Austrumu un Rietumu kristīgajā misticismā. Šo autoru personība un daiļrade uzrāda ciešu saistību ar tumsas koncepciju, attiecinot to uz mistisko pieredzi. Pētnieciskā darba gaitā apstiprinās autora tēze par to, ka Austrumu un Rietumu kristīgā misticisma izpratne par tumsu uzrāda atšķirīgu teoloģisko interpretāciju, vienlaikus saglabājot vienotu saturisko mērķi – vienotību ar Dievu. Maģistra darba nosaukums ir: Tumsas koncepcija Austrumu un Rietumu kristīgajā misticismā. Maģistra darba tēze ir: Austrumu un Rietumu krist…

In Situ X-Ray Tomography Imaging of Soil Water and Cyanobacteria From Biological Soil Crusts Undergoing Desiccation

2018

Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) are millimeter-sized microbial communities developing on the topsoils of arid lands that cover some 12% of Earth’s continental area. Biocrusts consist of an assemblage of mineral soil particles consolidated into a crust by microbial organic polymeric substances that are mainly produced by the filamentous bundle-forming cyanobacteria, among which Microcoleus vaginatus is perhaps the most widespread. This cyanobacterium is the primary producer for, and main architect of biocrusts in many arid soils, sustaining the development of a diverse microbial community. Biocrusts are only active when wet, and spend most of their time in a state of desiccated quiescence…
