Między autobiografią a przypowieścią. Glosa o paru tajemnicach "Domu, snu i gier dziecięcych" Juliana Kornhausera
2017
W artykule podjęto próbę rozpoznania strategii autobiograficznych prezentacji obecnych w twórczości Juliana Kornhausera. Autor stara się opisać fragmenty biografii autora Origami, skupiając się na charakterystycznych dla poety sposobach dyskretnego mówienia o sobie (dystans narracyjny, rozdźwięk pomiędzy narratorem a bohaterem, ukrywanie zarówno postaci bohatera, jak i rzeczywistych osób pod zasłoną inicjału). Punktem wyjścia dla rozważań i głównym przedmiotem opisu jest proza autobiograficzna Dom, sen igry dziecięce Juliana Kornhausera, której lektura konfrontowana jest z zapiskami autobiograficznymi opublikowanymi przez syna poety, Jakuba, na łamach czasopism literackich. Ważny element ca…
Toward Value Co-Creation: Increasing Women’s Presence in Management Positions through Competition against a Set Target
2017
Despite empirical evidence that women’s presence in management positions is a source of value co-creation for firms, these positions are still male-dominated. Some evidence from experimental economics suggests that one reason for this imbalance is that women shy away from competition. However, most of these studies have focused on competition systems that pit individuals against each other. We present an economic laboratory experiment that compares competition against others with competition against a set target. The crucial difference is that whereas the former involves competing against opponents, the latter does not. Our results show that significantly more women are willing to compete a…
Refined Analysis of a Cross-Sectional Doping Survey Among Recreational Triathletes: Support for the Nutritional Supplement Gateway Hypothesis
2020
Introduction: The current literature provides no consensus that nutritional supplements (NS) may provide a gateway to doping. In particular, studies in recreational athletes are lacking. Within a previous cross-sectional empirical study, our group provided first evidence that the use of NS may provide a gateway for the use of doping substances in recreational triathletes. For the present paper, we refine the analysis of the triathletes’ survey in order to provide evidence for a NS gateway hypothesis in recreational athletes. Methods: A self-report, paper-and-pencil questionnaire was distributed to a sample of 2,997 competitive ironman and half-ironman (n = 1,076; 36.1%) triathletes. The ran…
Decodificando la esencia del mal, o del terror a la muerte del hijo
2011
Durante muchos años filósofos y teólogos se han cuestionado sobre la cuestión de la caída. Es innumerable la bibliografía sobre el tema como así también las propias dudas sobre la omnipresencia y sabiduría de un Dios que implícitamente o no permite la presencia del pecado por medio de su propia creación. El mito fundador de querubín Lucifer no sólo simboliza la relación entre el hombre y la traición sino también el amor filial entre el padre y su creación las cuales concilian la negación cultural de la muerte de la progenie o generaciones más jóvenes. Utilizando la teoría antropológica de los dones de M. Mauss, el presente trabajo teórico intentará explicar el origen mítico del mal dentro d…

Business models and opportunity creation: How IT entrepreneurs create and develop business models under uncertainty
2016
How can entrepreneurs develop business models for markets in which the technology is constantly changing – or create business models for markets that do not exist? These are fundamental questions for information technology (IT) entrepreneurs, and for information systems (IS) scholars who seek to develop a theoretical understanding of business models. The case study presented in this paper addressed these questions, demonstrating how a small software firm developed its business model over a 15-year period in cloud gaming markets. Based on the empirical findings, a preliminary theoretical model is presented. The aim of the model is to increase scholarly understanding of how business models ar…

Sustainable Value Co-Production and Co-Creation in Virtual Reality: An Exploratory Research on Business-to-Business Interactions
2022
The objective of this study is to identify the environment for business interactions in virtual reality in the value co-production and co-creation process and to understand how such an environment enables the sustainable development of co-creational activities. This paper takes the concepts of value co-production and co-creation and presence and the Actors, Resources, and Activities Model as conceptual references for the exploration of interactions in virtual reality. Using ten in-depth interviews with senior managers, this paper takes an exploratory case analysis perspective. Results show how the sense of presence—level of immersion to which a medium that produces seemingly accurate repres…
