Información y Transparencia Pública: instrumentos de control para la toma de decisiones en la gestión de las universidades federales brasileñas
2016
Esta tesis doctoral está centrada en el e-government (gobierno electrónico) especialmente en lo que respecta a cuestiones relacionadas con la transparencia pública y divulgación de información contable en internet en las universidades públicas brasileñas. Para llevar a cabo este trabajo, se han elaborado tres artículos científicos relacionados entre ellos, lo que ha permitido avanzar en la investigación de cada trabajo, aprovechando los hallazgos de cada uno de ellos para llegar al resultado final. Los trabajos que integran esta tesis doctoral analizan qué información divulgan las universidades públicas en internet, qué factores determinan el grado de divulgación revelado, y cómo los gestor…
Istota budżetu gminy w gospodarce komunalnej i mieszkaniowej
2016
The municipality independently manages the finances. The plan of incomes and expenses the municipality passed a by law for a period of one calendar year. The draft budget is developing management based on the budget law and the guidelines of the municipal council, the municipal council adopts while. The revenues of local government units are public funds collected by these units from individuals, legal persons and entities without legal personality, as well as funds received from the state budget in the form of subsidies and grants for the implementation of specific tasks. However, the revenue received is not always sufficient to meet all the needs of the residents. Municipal authorities ha…

2022
PurposeThis study aims to take a holistic perspective to investigate how open innovation supports sustainability and the contribution to the Unite Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).Design/methodology/approachThe study is based on an in-depth single case study of Andriani SpA, a leading Italian company in the food industry. The case is built by triangulating data from direct observations, documentary analysis and semi-structured interviews.FindingsThe findings show an organization that has developed its competitive advantage by adopting open innovation to embed sustainability in its strategy and business model. The case study complements the understanding of how open innovati…
A Self-Contained Biometric Sensor for Ubiquitous Authentication
2007
This paper describes a real-life behavior framework in simulation game based on Probabilistic State Machine (PSM) with Gaussian random distribution. According to the dynamic environment information, NPC can generate behavior planning autonomously associated with defined FSM. After planning process, we illuminate Gaussian probabilistic function for real-life action simulation in time and spatial domains. The expected value of distribution is estimated during behavior planning process and variance is determined by NPC personality in order to realize real life behavior simulation. We experiment the framework and Gaussian PSM on a restaurant simulation game. Furthermore we give some suggestions…
Business model scaling and growth hacking in digital entrepreneurship
2023
Creating an innovative product and validating an innovative business model may not be enough for digital startups to be competitive. To grow fast and expand globally, digital startups need to innovate their business model during the scaling phase. A pragmatic approach has recently been proposed to support digital entrepreneurs engaging in business-model innovation during the scaling phase (i.e., business-model scaling), a strategy known as growth hacking. However, we know little about its theoretical grounding and how effective growth hacking is, as businesses lack methodologies to assess its effectiveness before committing resources and investments. To fill this gap, we developed a method …
Sensory modalities and mental content in product experience
2015
Contemporary research in human-technology interaction emphasises the need to focus on what people experience when they interact with technological artefacts. Understanding how people experience products requires detailed investigation of how physical design properties are mentally represented, and the theorisation of how people represent information obtained through different modalities still needs work. The objective of this study is to investigate how people experience modality-related affective aspects of products, using the psychological concept of mental content. For this purpose, we adopt the framework of user psychology, which is the sub-area of psychology involved with investigating…
Identity Use and Misuse of Public Persona on Twitter
2016
Social media sites have appeared during the last 10 years and their use has exploded all over the world. Twitter is a microblogging service that has currently 320 million user profiles and over 100 million daily active users. Many celebrities and leading politicians have a verified profile on Twitter, including Justin Bieber, president Obama, and the Pope. In this paper we investigate the '‘hundreds of Putins and Obamas phenomenon’ on Twitter. We collected two data sets in 2015 containing 582 and 6477 profiles that are related to the G20 leaders’ profiles on Twitter. The number of namesakes varied from 5 to 1000 per leader. We analysed in detail various aspects of the Putin and Erdogan rela…
Accelerating the Americanization of Management Education
2015
The Journal of Management Inquiry astutely predicted in 2004 that the Americanization of business education would not just continue but increase. Ten years later, it is arguable that the acceleration of the Americanization of management education has exceeded all expectations. To theoretically build toward understanding how and why the American business education model has been adopted to different extents, this comparative study builds on the institutional logics perspective, arguing that different institutional logics can potentially explain the various forms and patterns of Americanization and how they are manifested in the world’s business schools.
