This study investigates business school professors’ approaches to teaching, how those approaches change over the course of their careers, and to what extent they perceive those changes as growth. B...

Competitiveness in all areas has increased with the opening of trade worldwide. This resulted to greater pressure on entities that have lags compared to others that are more prepared and which are better located internationally. In this context, small and medium-sized e...

In this paper, I argue that in focussing on the role of natural resource exports (staples) as drivers of the extent and characteristics of economic growth, Canadian economic history has overlooked questions of resource ownership. Equally it has focused on the developmen...

International audience; Protecting the location privacy is one of the main challenges in vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs). Although, standardization bodies, such as IEEE and ETSI, have adopted a pseudonym-based scheme as a solution for this problem, an efficient pseud...

Traffic prediction is a core problem in the intelligent transportation system and has broad applications in the transportation management and planning, and the main challenge of this field is how to efficiently explore the spatial and temporal information of traffic dat...

This analytical research paper was prepared by using literature review on the relationships among three variables composed of managerial learning, career success perception and the learning organization. Managerial learning is the exogenous variable whereas the learning...

AbstractMost regulations designed to reduce environmental externalities impose costs on individuals and firms. A large and growing literature examines whether these costs are disproportionately bor...

Online user innovation communities are becoming a promising source of user innovation knowledge and creative users. With the purpose of identifying valuable innovation knowledge and users, this study constructs an integrated super-network model, i.e., User Innovation Kn...

Technology has been rapidly changing the business environment over the past several decades, and these changes are occurring at an accelerating rate. How to effectively integrate, deploy, and manage technologies in a cost-efficient manner across an organization's supply...

Traffic forecasting problem remains a challenging task in the intelligent transportation system due to its spatio-temporal complexity. Although temporal dependency has been well studied and discussed, spatial dependency is relatively less explored due to its large varia...

The automated merging control is one of the connected and automated vehicle applications that is expected to improve the operation and safety of freeway merging areas. This study introduces a dynamic adaptive algorithm for automated merging control based on a cost funct...

The European Central Bank has implemented a very ambitious monetary policy since the financial crisis of 2008, intervening heavily in the eurozone economies. This policy has generated substantial risks to both the ECB’s primary task and its independence. It is therefore...

We examine the business and management education (BME) research field along three dimensions of the legitimation code theory (LCT). These dimensions (Specialization, Semantics, and Autonomy) showed...

To study the effect of protean careers on talent retention, operationalized as the intention to quit, this study explores two pathways between protean career orientation and intention to quit: a direct pathway, and an indirect pathway via organizational commitment and j...

Within the workplace, time constraints that create deadline pressure may jeopardize employees' goal attainment. In an attempt to overcome this stressful situation, employees may increase their efforts. We examine two strategies that are assumed to be stress reactions (c...

Emergency responders are typically notified immediately after a major earthquake strikes. However, a time delay, called the travel time, is usually experienced between the notification and the arrival of the responders on the scene. The reparative work necessary after t...

In this research, a bi-objective optimisation model for the joint replenishment problem (JRP) of a supply chain comprised of a single supplier and multiple retailers is developed, in which the retailers are assumed to be members of a unique distribution company. The mat...

Histogram of oriented gradient (HOG) features in combination with support vector machine (SVM) classification are still widely reported as a de facto standard benchmark to evaluate contemporary pedestrian detectors employing a vast spectrum of sophisticated features and...

Extreme events can extensively damage power systems, causing customers to experience long-lasting outages. During such events, an electric vehicle (EV) can be used to directly power a house, i.e., vehicle-to-home (V2H). Specifically, the EV serves as a mobile energy sto...
