Potential Critical Success Factors for Enterprise Architecture

2008

First published in the Journal of Enterprise Architecture, Vol. 2, No. 4, 2006 pp. 29-40. Republished with the kind permission of the Journal of Enterprise Architecture During the past few years, enterprise architectures (EAs) have garnered considerable attention from both practitioners and academics in the fields of information systems and business management. It is suggested that EA is an approach for controlling the complexity and constant changes in the business environment of an organization. Research has mainly focused on the development and modeling of EA, while quality aspects of EA have gained less attention. The aim of this study is to provide insight into the critical success fac…

Evaluación de la reacción de alumnos y docentes en un modelo mixto de aprendizaje para Educación Superior

2014

Si bien en la educación presencial uno de los factores clave del éxito es el desempeño del docente dentro del salón de clase, es evidente que dentro de la educación en línea el papel del docente será distinto a su papel tradicional. Por ello, deben revalorarse los factores que garantizarán la calidad en este nuevo tipo de oferta educativa. En este estudio se muestran los resultados obtenidos de un análisis de caso de educación mixta (blended learning) para educación superior, y se enlistan los factores de éxito resultantes, así como algunas barreras para la adecuada implantación.

Management of Change in Tourism - The Problem of Family Internal Succession in Family Tourism SMEs

2010

“World-wide, the family business constitutes the most prevalent form of business or-ganization” (Poutziouris et al. 2004, p. 7). Alpine tourism is also dominated by small- and medium-sized enterprises (SME), among which family firms represent the majority (Astrachan and Shanker 2003). Family firms are urged to perform business, strategic, and succession planning for their survival (Knight 1993). Planning for the integration of the younger generation into the family firm is an issue of strategic importance. The purpose of this article is to report the results of a qualitative study among owners of family businesses, interest groups and consultants in order to explore ways in which family int…

Conflicts and Negotiations in the Intergenerational Succession of Family Firms: A Literature Review.

2019

This chapter intends to stimulate a serious debate on the topic of conflict in family businesses and the theory of negotiation as a tool to resolve these conflicts. The methodology is based on the survey of the main literature on these topics. Despite the literature on conflict management is highly developed as well as the literature in family business, scholars and researchers have not yet deepened several areas of conflict management in family businesses, so the two fields of literature are yet not well integrated, showing a potential for future research avenues. We then propose a research agenda identifying the issues and research gaps that should be explored by researchers to reach a de…

"Tää oli kiva tunti!" : a social and emotional learning intervention in an EFL classroom

2018

Tunne- ja vuorovaikutustaidot vaikuttavat merkittävästi koulumenestykseen ja yleiseen hyvinvointiin. Myönteiset tunteet parantavat muun muassa motivaatiota, keskittymiskykyä, muistia, sujuvuutta ja oppimista. Tunne- ja vuorovaikutustaidot ovat keskeisiä kieltenoppimisessa ja –opettamisessa sillä nimenomaan kielen avulla kommunikoidaan ja ollaan vuorovaikutuksessa muiden ihmisten kanssa. Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli kehittää viidesluokkalaisten tunne- ja vuorovaikutustaitoja englanninopetuksen yhteydessä. Tutkija-opettaja järjesti opetuskokeilun keski-suomalaisessa alakoulussa, jossa tutkija toimi myös sijaisena. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli tutkia ja soveltaa tehtäviä joiden avulla void…

Logistics potentials of success as the factors affecting firm performance

2019

Firms are permanently looking for ways to achieve expected market and economic outcomes, which are the basis for superior performance as well as strong, long-term competitive advantage. The most important market outcomes are: (1) customer satisfaction, (2) customer loyalty, and (3) marketshare. In turn, the most important economic outcomes are: (1) profit, (2) profitability, and (3) return on investment (ROI). In achieving such performance and advantage the important role is assigned - among others - to the so-called logistics potentials of success. Logistics potentials of success are significant parts of the “general” firm potentials of success, which comprise: (1) resources, (2) capabilit…

Reproductive success of Coregonus species in areas loaded by effluents from paper mills

1992

The annual reproductive success of Coregonus albula and C. lavaretus in some polluted and clean areas of the central parts of L. Paijanne was estimated in 1981–90 on the basis of occurrence of larvae in shore seine and seine net samples after the ice melted. In polluted areas (0-5 km from Kaipola paper mill) larvae of coregonids were found only occasionally. In semipolluted areas (5–15 km from the paper mill) the densities of larvae were usually less than 0.1 ind m-2. In ‘clean’ areas the mean densities of larvae ranged from 0.45 to 5.34 inds m-2. A relatively high reproductive success of vendace was observed in 1984–85, moderate success in 1982–83 and low success in 1986–90. The larvae of …

Transgenerational immunity in a bird-ectoparasite system: do maternally transferred antibodies affect parasite fecundity or the offspring's susceptib…

2009

During egg formation, female birds deposit antibodies against parasites and pathogens they were exposed to before egg laying into the yolk. In captive bird species, it has been shown that these maternal immunoglobulins (maternal yolk IgGs) can protect newly hatched offspring against infection. However, direct evidence for such benefits in wild birds is hitherto lacking. We investigated (1) if nestling Great Tits Parus major originating from eggs with naturally high levels of maternal yolk IgG are less susceptible to a common, nest-based ectoparasite, (2) if maternal yolk IgGs influence nestling development and in particular, their own immune defence, and (3) if there is a negative correlati…

Referee Bias in Professional Football: Favoritism Toward Successful Teams in Potential Penalty Situations

2020

Past studies have indicated that multiple factors may influence sport referees' decisions, such as pressure from spectators and athletes' reputation. Grounded in the social impact theory framework, this study examined whether Norwegian Premier League (NPL) referees are biased by a team's success when awarding penalties. Using video footage (similar to video assistant referees), an expert panel (EP) of four NPL referees evaluated all potential penalty situations (N = 43) involving either of two successful teams during an entire NPL season. Fifty-five potential penalty situations from matches without successful teams were also rated. Overall, the match referees identified 73.3% (22 of 30) of …
