We analysed the production, impact factor of, and scientific collaboration involved in viticulture and oenology articles associated with South African research centres published in international journals during the period 1990–2009.

Estudio contrastivo de la representación social del concepto de Sumak Kawsay

2018

The usage of discursive formula in the institutional discourse norms and legitimates the conceptualization of social representations in the service of the current government’s interests. The discourse analysis of the corpus compiled with normative and academic texts evidence that the social representation of the formulae “Sumak Kawsay” follow this principle of normalization and legitimization.

Preparing for CRIS: Challenges and Opportunities for Systems Integration at Finnish Universities

2014

Poster at Open Repositories 2014, Helsinki, Finland, June 9-13, 2014 This paper raises issues presented by integrating administrative research information to institutional repository (IR) and other systems, especially in the context of Finnish universities.

The influence of business groups on board composition in offshore financial multinational enterprises

2023

Based on resource dependence theory we argue for an influence of business groups (BGs) on the board composition of constituent offshore financial multinational enterprises (FMNEs). Using a unique sample of 171 Caribbean FMNEs in an inter-island BG setting, we find BGs’ control in constituent firms to be indicative of the importance of the internal financing and intermediation within the group network. This control leads to a higher proportion of lawyers hired to the boards of directors in BG-constituent firms and supports the argument that lawyers provide skills in complex offshore regulatory frameworks that facilitate BGs’ optimal tax management. Furthermore, we observe that an increased a…
