Who invests in sustainability as a strategic choice? We adopt a behavioral theory perspective to explain the heterogeneity of sustainability-driven investments. Building on problemistic search and organizational inertia arguments, and contrary to resource- ...
We consider control of dynamical systems through the lens of competitive analysis. Most prior work in this area focuses on minimizing regret, that is, the loss relative to an ideal clairvoyant policy that has noncausal access to past, present, and future d ...
Public enterprises operate in the area between the opposing poles of state and market. On the one hand they must meet a wide range of political expectations, and on the other they must fulfil commercial efficiency criteria. This dissertation addresses how ...
In the last few decades, several value-modeling methods have emerged in requirements engineering for IS research. We compare two value-modeling methods, e3value and SEAM. We illustrate their use with an example of the exchange of the Intellectual Property ...
Developmental cell death plays an important role in the construction of functional neural circuits. In vertebrates, the canonical view proposes a selection of the surviving neurons through stochastic competition for target-derived neurotrophic signals, imp ...
In light of the environmental consequences of linear production and consumption processes, the circular economy (CE) is gaining momentum as a concept and practice, promoting closed material cycles by focusing on multiple strategies from material recycling ...
Expectations for high performance green buildings have been evolving over the last four decades. Green certification systems define, recognize, and demonstrate leadership in addressing building problems related to people and the environment. These systems ...
The aim of this paper is twofold: first, I aim at understanding how producer cooperatives compete in the factor markets; and second, I analyse how producer cooperatives influence the competitive dynamics of the markets where they compete. With this paper w ...
Coopetition (collaboration between competing firms) is a phenomenon that has recently captured a great deal of attention due to its increasing relevance to business practice. However, current research on coopetition is still short on explaining how the pot ...
We propose a viewpoint invariant model for 3D human pose estimation from a single depth image. To achieve this, our discriminative model embeds local regions into a learned viewpoint invariant feature space. Formulated as a multi-task learning problem, our ...
