Are quality management practices enough to improve process innovation?
2015
The popularity of quality management as a system for continuous improvement has not been accompanied by deep theoretical understanding of its effects on process innovation. In this work, the resource-based view serves as the basis for the construction of a model designed to explain the effects of quality management practices (QMP) on process innovation performance and the mediating role of dynamic capabilities in this relationship. The empirical data were analysed using the structural equation modelling technique by examining 6 competing models that represent full, partial mediation and non-mediation relationships on a sample of 550 Spanish industrial companies. The findings indicate that t…

Attālinātais darbs Latvijai vēl ir salīdzinoši jauns koncepts un definējums likumā, tomēr pēdējā gada laikā, darba devēji ar darba ņēmējiem ir bijuši spiesti sadarboties kā vēl nekad, lai piemērotos šai, tik strauji popularitāti guvušai nestandarta darbības formai kā ‘’attālinātais darbs’’. Autors bakalaura darba ietvaros pēta juridiska rakstura vienošanos starp darba ņēmēju un darba devēju, cenšas saprast vai tā ir piemērota, pietiekama, lai neviena no šo attiecību pusēm netiktu juridiski apdalīta.

Nuove regole di applicazione del diritto UE in sede nazionale?
2022
Two important judgments of the Consiglio di Stato (Italy) allow revisiting general institutions relating to the primacy of EU law and the instruments that guarantee its application in national law. Among others are the direct effect of the directives, the need for a preliminary ruling, and the so-called double preliminary ruling. Finally, the essay highlights some critical issues regarding the limits of the non-application of the law, the overcoming of the res judicata, and the temporary suspension of the ousting effect of a rule of EU law by national courts.
