Dynamic capabilities and strategic management

by David J. Teece, Gary Pisano, Amy Shuen - Strategic Management Journal , 1997
"... The dynamic capabilities framework analyzes the sources and methods of wealth creation and capture by private enterprise firms operating in environments of rapid technological change. The competitive advantage of firms is seen as resting on distinctive processes (ways of coordinating and combining), ..."

Social capital, intellectual capital, and the organizational advantage

by Janine Nahapiet - Academy of Management Review , 1998
"... Scholars of the theory of the firm have begun to emphasize the sources and conditions of what has been described a s "the organizational advantage, " rather than focus on the causes and consequences of market failure. Typically, researchers see such organizational advantage a s accruing fr ..."

from the particular capabilities organizations have for creating and sharing knowledge. In this article we seek to contribute to this body 01 work by developing the following arguments: (1) social capital facilitates the creation of new intellectual capital. (2) organizations. a s institutional

The Perceptron: A Probabilistic Model for Information Storage and Organization in The Brain

by F. Rosenblatt - Psychological Review , 1958
"... If we are eventually to understand the capability of higher organisms for perceptual recognition, generalization, recall, and thinking, we must first have answers to three fundamental questions: 1. How is information about the physical world sensed, or detected, by the biological system? 2. In what ..."

Separation of ownership and control

by Eugene F. Fama, Michael C. Jensen - JOURNAL OF LAW AND ECONOMICS , 1983
"... This paper analyzes the survival of organizations in which decision agents do not bear a major share of the wealth effects of their decisions. This is what the literature on large corporations calls separation of “ownership” and “control.” Such separation of decision and risk bearing functio ..."

because of an effective common approach to controlling the implied agency problems. In particular, the contract structures of all these organizations separate the ratification and monitoring of decisions from the initiation and implementation of the decisions.

BDI Agents: From Theory to Practice

by Anand S. Rao, Michael P. Georgeff - IN PROCEEDINGS OF THE FIRST INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON MULTI-AGENT SYSTEMS (ICMAS-95 , 1995
"... The study of computational agents capable of rational behaviour has received a great deal of attention in recent years. Theoretical formalizations of such agents and their implementations have proceeded in parallel with little or no connection between them. This paper explores a particular typ ..."

Metabolic stability and epigenesis in randomly connected nets

by S. A. Kauffman - Journal of Theoretical Biology , 1969
"... “The world is either the effect of cause or chance. If the latter, it is a world for all that, that is to say, it is a regular and beautiful structure.” Marcus Aurelius Proto-organisms probably were randomly aggregated nets of chemical reactions. The hypothesis that contemporary organisms are also r ..."

An intrusion-detection model

by Dorothy E. Denning - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON SOFTWARE ENGINEERING , 1987
"... A model of a real-time intrusion-detection expert system capable of detecting break-ins, penetrations, and other forms of computer abuse is described. The model is based on the hypothesis that security violations can be detected by monitoring a system's audit records for abnormal patterns of sy ..."

A theory of social comparison processes,”

by Leon Festinger - Human Relations, , 1954
"... In this paper we shall present a further development of a previously published theory concerning opinion influence processes in social groups (7). This further development has enabled us to extend the theory to deal with other areas, in addition to opinion formation, in which social comparison is i ..."

, specifically designed to test predictions from this extension of the theory, have now been completed Hypothesis I: There exists, in the human organism, a drive to evaluate his opinions and his abilities. While opinions and abilities may, at first glance, seem to be quite different things, there is a close

Modeling and simulation of genetic regulatory systems: A literature review

by Hidde De Jong - JOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY , 2002
"... In order to understand the functioning of organisms on the molecular level, we need to know which genes are expressed, when and where in the organism, and to which extent. The regulation of gene expression is achieved through genetic regulatory systems structured by networks of interactions between ..."

Social force model for pedestrian dynamics

by Dirk Helbing, Péter Molnár - Physical Review E , 1995
"... It is suggested that the motion of pedestrians can be described as if they would be subject to ‘social forces’. These ‘forces ’ are not directly exerted by the pedestrians ’ personal environment, but they are a measure for the internal motivations of the individuals to perform certain actions (movem ..."
