This work presents the architecture used in the ongoing e-learning EduCa Project. The approach is based in a strong use of ontologies for the retrieval, management and clustered of electronic educational resources accord...

Abstract The paper explores the usefulness of analysing firms from the resource side rather than from the product side. In analogy to entry barriers and growth‐share matrices, the concepts of resource position barrier ...

Among the most widely cited books in the social sciences, The External Control of Organizations has long been required reading for any student of organization studies. The book, reissued on its 25th anniversary as part o...

Examines how external constraints affect organizations and how to design and manage organizations under such constraints. Taking a resource dependence perspective on organizations, the book discusses basic components of ...

Recent contributions to strategic management and the theory of the collectively known as the view of the firm provide illuminating insights into the sources of profitability and the nature of competitive strategy. This a...

Abstract This paper elucidates the underlying economics of the resource‐based view of competitive advantage and integrates existing perspectives into a parsimonious model of resources and firm performance. The essence ...

This thesis observes the emerging trend of convergence of control with computing and communication. By exploiting control and scheduling codesign, we study some practical and open problems in RTCSs from a unique viewpoin...

Abstract This study focuses on burnout and its positive antipode—engagement. A model is tested in which burnout and engagement have different predictors and different possible consequences. Structural equation modeling...

The job demands-resources (JD-R) model proposes that working conditions can be categorized into 2 broad categories, job demands and job resources. that are differentially related to specific outcomes. A series of LISREL ...

Agricultural research institutions in most of developing countries operate with limited budgets,facing situations of sub utilization of human resources. Government economic policies appliedby these countries have lead to...

Scientific collaboration are becoming interdisciplinary, and scientists are working in informal collaboration to solve complex problems that require multiple types of large resources. An option is a computational grid. A...

In this article we offer a view that suggests that a firm's critical resources may span firm boundaries and may be embedded in interfirm resources and routines. We argue that an increasingly important unit of analysis fo...

Accepting a fixed trade-off between environmental regulation and competitiveness unnecessarily raises costs and slows down environmental progress. Studies finding high environmental compliance costs have traditionally fo...

The Technology Acceptance Model and two variations of the Theory of Planned Behavior were compared to assess which model best helps to understand usage of information technology. The models were compared using student da...

Digital repositories acting as resource aggregators typically face different challenges, roughly classified in three main categories: extraction, improvement and storage. The first category comprises issues related to de...

Uniform Resource Identifiers are an integral part of the current Architecture of the World Wide Web. This work analyzes the implications and possibilities of using Universal Resource Names as unique and persistent identi...

The computational resources need by the scientific community to solve problems is beyond the current available infrastructure. Performance requirements are needed due constant research progress, new problems studies or d...

One of the main intents of all digital libraries is to provide wide access to academic resources. Several tools and techniques are available to achieve this goal, some of them focus on harvest and storage of resources wh...

Institutional Repositories are collections of digital resources organized to facilitate their long term access. Two fundamental issues that need to be addressed at the moment of implementing these repositories are their ...

Understanding the evolutionary history of living organisms is a central problem in biology. Until recently the ability to infer evolutionary relationships was limited by the amount of DNA sequence data available, but new...

Economic theory has suffered in the past from a failure to state clearly its assumptions. Economists in building up a theory have often omitted to examine the foundations on which it was erected. This examination is, how...
