Perspectives on Relevance : the Relevance Test in the Constructive Research Approach
2017
Abstract Interventionist research (IVR), such as the constructive research approach (CRA), has been suggested as a method to improve the relevance of management accounting (MA) research. Although literature identifies several perspectives on relevance, the current assessment of CRA focuses on practical relevance. Moreover, an overreliance on pragmatism in assessing CRA research in the form of CRA market tests has been criticized. This article analyses the challenges inherent in conducting and assessing CRA research, both conceptually and with a CRA case example. In order to overcome these possible CRA challenges, we suggest analyzing CRA relevance from multiple perspectives. The perspective…
The role of perceived value and emotions in the satisfaction and future intentions of spectators
2016
The quality of service offered by sports entities has become a good predictor of user satisfaction and also future intentions. To know the future intentions of customers of any service is a key objective to develop service improvement and retention strategies. This need has also become apparent to professional sports clubs. In this study, the relationship between quality, perceived value, emotions, satisfaction and future intentions of spectators are analyzed for a sporting event. Using a sample of 563 spectators and modeling with structural equations, results indicate that perceived value is the best predictor of the satisfaction and future intentions of spectators, while quality and emoti…
Hvordan bør menigheter arbeide med endring? En drøfting av relevansen av organisasjonsteoretiske perspektiver for endringstiltak i menigheter
2016
How ahould congregations work with change? A discussion of the relevance of organizational theoretical perspectives for change in congregations The purpose of this article is to discuss the contribution to congregations of theoretical perspectives on change in the organizational literature. The contribution of the discussion is on the evaluation of the relevance. I discuss the relevance of planned change, lifecycle theory, external influences, power, and coincidence and conclude that organizational perspectives are relevant as long as they applies in a context sensitive manner. I suggests a bounded rational planning process for congregational development. The arguments for this is that cong…
Impact of textual data augmentation on linguistic pattern extraction to improve the idiomaticity of extractive summaries
2021
International audience; The present work aims to develop a text summarisation system for financial texts with a focus on the fluidity of the target language. Linguistic analysis shows that the process of writing summaries should take into account not only terminological and collocational extraction, but also a range of linguistic material referred to here as the "support lexicon", that plays an important role in the cognitive organisation of the field. On this basis, this paper highlights the relevance of pre-training the CamemBERT model on a French financial dataset to extend its domainspecific vocabulary and fine-tuning it on extractive summarisation. We then evaluate the impact of textua…

La formación profesional en la construcción de trayectorias laborales. Estudio sobre sectores productivos en Argentina
2021
El artículo se ubica en el campo problemático entre educación y trabajo buscando caracterizar de manera específica la formación profesional —FP—. Para ello interesa analizar el lugar que ocupa este tipo de formación en las trayectorias laborales de los trabajadores. El texto parte de un estudio cualitativo —101 entrevistas entre directivos, profesores y alumnos— realizado en cuatro familias profesionales con alta demanda de formación en Argentina: electricidad, construcción, agroindustria y mecánica automotor. Se propone una mirada que permita recuperar el lugar que la FP ha tenido en diversas fases de los modelos de desarrollo económico colocando el énfasis sobre la formación profesional d…
Identifying motives underlying wine purchase decisions: Results from an exploratory free listing task with Burgundy wine consumers
2014
Abstract To better understand consumer decision making processes while purchasing wine it is important to identify which attributes consumers actually rely on and how they perceive and weight them in order to reach a final decision. The aims of the present work were to identify motives underlying wine purchase decisions and to identify consumer segments with different drivers of wine purchase. One hundred and twenty seven Burgundy wine consumers were asked to complete a free listing task. Relevance of each category of elicited terms was estimated by Smith's and Cognitive saliency indices. Hierarchical cluster analysis was performed on individual Smith's saliency indices. In the free listing…
Internet Disclosure by Nonprofit Organizations: Empirical Evidence of Nongovernmental Organizations for Development in Spain
2009
This article examines the relevance of technology, and particularly the Internet, for the improvement of accountability and transparency in nonprofit organizations. The novelty of our work regarding the previous empirical evidence resides in the fact that we have taken into account the means through which these organizations diffuse voluntary information. In this article, we have proposed a model of information disclosure for the Web sites of Spanish nongovernmental organizations for development (NGODs) that can serve as a guide for improving their informative transparency and their accountability. The empirical evidence obtained reveals that Spanish NGOD Web sites are primarily ornamental…
The Hints from the Crowd Project
2013
Can the crowd be a source of information? Is it possible to receive useful hints from comments, blogs and product reviews? In the era of Web 2.0, people are allowed to give their opinion about everything such as movies, hotels, etc.. These reviews are social knowledge, that can be exploited to suggest possibly interesting items to other people. The goal of the Hints From the Crowd HFC project is to build a NoSQL database system for large collections of product reviews; the database is queried by expressing a natural language sentence; the result is a list of products ranked based on the relevance of reviews w.r.t. the natural language sentence. The best ranked products in the result list ca…
Saliency in spectral images
2011
International audience; Even though the study of saliency for color images has been thoroughly investigated in the past, very little attention has been given to datasets that cannot be displayed on traditional computer screens such as spectral images. Nevertheless, more than a means to predict human gaze, the study of saliency primarily allows for measuring infor- mative content. Thus, we propose a novel approach for the computation of saliency maps for spectral images. Based on the Itti model, it in- volves the extraction of both spatial and spectral features, suitable for high dimensionality images. As an application, we present a comparison framework to evaluate how dimensionality reduct…
