Varianz- und kovarianzbasierte Strukturgleichungsmodelle — Ein Leitfaden zu deren Spezifikation, Schätzung und Beurteilung
2006
Seit Mitte der 80er Jahre gewinnen Strukturgleichungsmodeile in der betriebswirtschaftlichen Forschung an Bedeutung. Jungste Veroffentlichungen untermauern jedoch deren oftmals falschliche Anwendung bzw. die Fehlkonzeption des uberpruften Modells. Nicht zuletzt erschwert die etablierte, auf kovarianzbasierten Verfahren beruhende Software LISREL die haufig notwendige, jedoch unterlassene Einbindung formativ erfasster Modellkonstrukte. Das varianzbasierte Strukturgleichungsverfahren PLS (partial least squares) weist eine Vielzahl von gunstigen Eigenschaften gegenuber kovarianzbasierten Verfahren auf, so auch die problemlose Einbindung formativ erhobener latenter Variablen. Das Hauptargument d…
La mayor comprensión para el mayor número: la posición de Noël Carroll acerca del “arte de masas”
2018
Resumen En el presente trabajo expondremos las líneas maestras de la teoría del arte de masas de Noël Carroll. La nove- dad de su propuesta radica en que, al contrario de la mayoría de pensadores que han abordado el fenómeno, nuestro filósofo busca una teoría puramente descriptiva que renuncie a la valoración de su objeto de estudio, limitándose a ofrecer un marco conceptual capaz de clasificar las expresiones artísticas de la sociedad de masas. Como complemento, intentaremos contextualizar su propuesta presentando las bases del debate mediante las ideas de Clement Greenberg y Dwight MacDonald, principales fundadores del tópico. Por último, concluiremos con algunos materiales para la crític…
Network embeddedness and new product development in the biopharmaceutical industry: The moderating role of open innovation flow
2015
This paper explores the role of centrality and structural holes positions on the likelihood to develop new products and the moderating role of the open innovation flow, a measure of the net knowledge flow crossing the firm’s boundaries, on the aforementioned relation. We argue that network positions provide the information content to the firm, whilst open innovation flow describes how the firm uses such content, thus the combination of these two concepts has a significant impact on new product development. We test the theoretical framework on a large sample of 544 public companies and data from 1758 agreements among 1890 bio-pharmaceutical firms through the period 2006–2010. Our results sho…
Innovation among SMEs in Finland: The impact of stakeholder engagement and firm-level characteristics
2021
PURPOSE: The aim of the paper is to analyse the importance of both internal capabilities (resources) and external information sources in implementing product, process, marketing and organizational innovations aiming to maximize firm competitive advantage and create value for stakeholders. Furthermore, in particular, we examine the role of public organizations, business networks, firm size, and the industry sector, in the emergence of different types of product, process, marketing, and organizational innovations. The research was based on the typology of innovation (product, process, marketing, and organizational) adopted by the OECD. METHODOLOGY: The paper is based on data from 389 SMEs loc…
How Intellectual Capital is Made?
2021
Abstract Worldwide organizations are compelled by global competition to achieve notable, inimitable results. In order to achieve this organizations must differentiate themselves from their competitors by using intangible resources that can get the long-term competitive advantage. This can be accomplished by identifying and managing the important elements of performance more effectively and efficiently. Consequently, organizations have to be aware and understand the connection between valuing intellectual capital and their performance. This article enhances the relationship between intellectual capital indicators and the measures to be taken in order to become strong innovators at european l…
A preliminary investigation assessing the basic digital capabilities of minimally verbal children on the autism spectrum with intellectual disability
2020
Purpose Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) can demonstrate a preference for using digital technologies which can represent a relative strength within the autism community. Such a strength would have implications for digitally mediated interventions and support for autism. However, research to date has not developed a methodology for assessing the capabilities of minimally verbal children on the autism spectrum with intellectual disability (ID) to use digital technology. Design/methodology/approach Six minimally verbal children with ASD and ID undertook an accessible assessment that identified what capabilities for interacting with a digital tablet device they could and could not …

Gender Diversity in STEM Disciplines: A Multiple Factor Problem.
2019
La falta de diversidad, y específicamente de diversidad de género, es uno de los problemas clave que se están encontrando tanto las empresas del sector tecnológico como las instituciones del ámbito académico en la educación superior. Según la UNESCO, las mujeres representan el 35% de todos los matriculados en las ramas de Ciencia, Tecnología, Ingeniería y Matemáticas (STEM, en sus siglas en inglés), encontrándose el mínimo, un 3%, en el área de las Tecnologías de la Información y las Comunicaciones (TIC). Al mismo tiempo, el número de mujeres profesionales que abandonan trabajos de perfil tecnológico es inaceptablemente alto. Como miembros de una institución de educación superior centrada e…
Human resource development and spiritual intelligence: an investigation amongst management students in Delhi NCR
2021
The study seeks to investigate the relationship between spiritual intelligence and its relative impact on students' academic performance. Several studies link SI with intellectual development. This study aims to analyse the phenomenon of spiritual intelligence (SI) within the framework of human resource development (HRD) research. Qualitative and quantitative data were analysed. The study was conducted among management students residing in Delhi NCR. The findings confirm that spiritual quotient factors are applicable in the Indian context. In addition, the study reveals that the spiritual quotient is significantly correlated with academic performance. The study uses the scale developed by K…
Expanding Capabilities for Epistemic Justice Through Social Innovation: The Case of Business and Management Courses in UNIMINUTO, Colombia
2020
The chapter addresses the consideration and development of students’ competencies for social innovation in higher education by generating spaces of engagement with local communities. We combine concepts from the capability approach and epistemic injustice to address this topic and ask these specific questions: which epistemic capabilities can be generated in students when engaging with local communities in fostering social innovation processes, and how? And, how are these processes contributing to challenging epistemic injustice? To address these questions, we propose an original framework connecting ideas from Sen and Fricker and address the specific case of six pilot courses in UNIMINUTO …
