Testing a physical education-delivered autonomy supportive intervention to promote leisure-time physical activity in lower secondary school students:…

2020

© 2020 The Author(s). Background: Inadequate physical activity in young people is associated with several physical and mental health concerns. Physical education (PE) is a potentially viable existing network for promoting physical activity in this population. However, little research has been conducted on whether PE teachers can influence students' engagement in leisure-time physical activity. The present study therefore examined the efficacy of an intervention aimed at increasing PE teachers' autonomy support on students' leisure-time physical activity (the PETALS trial). The intervention was guided by the trans-contextual model (TCM) explaining the processes by which PE teachers' provisio…

2001

A number of social economy organizations with different legal forms have appeared in Spain since the eighties and have developed a growing activity in the provision of personal support services, usually in the private management of public services and occasionally in the private sector. The novelty of this type of organization, the peculiarities of their origin and business development, their uncertain future and the relevance of the experience accumulated in the short but intensive years of their existence - as well as their importance in job creation and in training professionals in social intervention - justify a detailed study of their current situation with regard to resource bases and…

EVALUATING A CUSTOMER-CENTRIC APPROACH

2007

Customer focus is, at best, only one element of the relationship between a company and its customers. At worst it is a board-room buzzworld, witch makes every board member feel a little more secure. Not unlike the phrase “working towards equal opportunities”, it is showing an awareness of a need but is not addressing the issues. Customer focus must lead to something meaningful, will probably require sacrifices and is just one of the steps necessary to become truly customer-centric. A customer focus puts your customers high on your list of priorities. When you put your customers into the heart of your business, make customers part of the culture, then you to become customer-centric.

Examining Online Shopping Services in Relation to Experience and Frequency of Using Internet Retailing

2013

E-shopping has the potential to replace traditional in-store shopping. It is well perceived that information and communication technologies have great impacts on modern society - they are changing how and where we work, shop, and in general terms how we live our lives. In this study, we use a survey instrument to examine the association between experience level with Internet and e-shopping and consumers’ frequency of online purchasing, while considering sex as a passive influencer. We study these relationships in a multinomial logistic regression model that is aimed at online retailers to help them improve their understanding of their consumers’ characteristics and propensity to buy through…

On the link between urban location and the involvement of knowledge intensive business services firms in collaboration networks

2013

Knowledge intensive business services firms can play a key role in modern economies by linking localized collaboration networks to global knowledge flows, and by actively serving in support of knowledge diffusion across institutional and sectoral divides. The extent to which they do is dependent on the markets, partners and human resources available locally. This paper uses the unique establishment-level innovation data available in Norway to investigate whether location in urban labour market regions influences the geographical scope of collaborative linkages maintained within and outside the realm of clients. It proceeds to consider whether the diversity of partner types used locally, dom…

Building Strategic Partnerships for Value Co-Creation : A Conceptual Framework for Digital Service Organizations

2023

In today’s competitive, fast-paced, and technology-driven markets, digital service organizations are increasingly forming strategic partnerships to transform their businesses, accelerate innovation opportunities, and offer customers enhanced value.

This research develops a conceptual framework to explain value co-creation in strategic (digital service) partnerships and identifies its key enablers. We contribute to the literature by expanding our understanding of how value co-creation between partner…

2022

En las últimas décadas, las organizaciones han comprendido que el desarrollo y el crecimiento sostenibles requieren un equilibrio entre la preocupación por las empresas y los seres humanos. Este equilibrio es esencial en diversos sectores, como las instituciones sanitarias y las organizaciones no gubernamentales (ONG) que atienden a grupos en riesgo de exclusión, entre ellos las personas con discapacidad intelectual (PCDI). La justicia organizativa es un elemento vital en las organizaciones actuales y en la investigación organizativa. En organizaciones como los centros de atención a las PID, la justicia interpersonal, una dimensión de la justicia organizacional, desempeña un papel important…
