Research Complementarities: A Resource-Based View of the Resource Allocation Process Model (and Vice Versa)
Authors: Peteraf Margaret A 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The Resource Allocation Process (RAP) model, as introduced by Bower (1970) and extended by Burgelman (1983), has proven to be among the most enduring contributions to the field of business strategy. It has inspired a rich array of field studies, in settings ranging from large multinational organizations to smaller, focused firms and entrepreneurial start-ups. Taken collectively, these studies provide an impressive base of supporting evidence for RAP applications. Although the basic model continues to gain empirical support, some of the most promising research has been in the realm of theory building. New research is extending the reach of the model, introducing factors external to the firm, and delineating the boundary conditions of the model. Other studies have begun to explore the limits of the RAP model, questioning the conditions under which the model is likely to be prescriptive as well as descriptive. Eisenmann and Bower’s (2000) study of ‘top-down’ strategic decision making in global media firms is an example. These studies bring new insights, more richness, and greater dimensionality to the model.
EMU and Fiscal Policy
Authors: Dimitrov Vesselin 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The impact of EMU on fiscal institutions and fiscal policy can potentially reach further into the core competencies of national governments than the effects of EMU in any other policy area. While in monetary policy EMU involves a much more complete transfer of authority from national governments to supra-national institutions than in fiscal policy, monetary policy—even at the national level—has often been the preserve of a relatively narrow circle of central bank and finance ministry officials.
Technology and Construction Court
Authors: Davis Michael , Akenhead Qc Robert 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The Technology and Construction Court is one of the specialist jurisdictions of the High Court. It deals with a specialised workload involving construction industry and engineering disputes and, increasingly, information technology disputes. Its work often involves heavy factual cases, but also action in support of other dispute resolution methods such as arbitration, mediation, or adjudication under the Housing Grants, Construction, and Regeneration Act 1996. Technology and Construction Court :Practice and Procedure provides a unique and authoritative guide to this jurisdiction. It examines the day-to-day workings of the Court in detail, including: the relevant Civil Procedure Rules, the Pre-Action Protocol procedure, case management, alternative dispute resolution, the Court's support for arbitration, the stages in proceedings leading up to trial, the enforcement of adjudicators' decisions and costs. The book is fully up-to-date to take account of the second edition of the TCC Guide, which took effect on October 2005. The text offers step-by-step guide to the practice and procedures involved in the initiating and defending of proceedings, together with expert analysis and guidance on matters unique to the Court - such as Scott schedules, handling of expert witnesses, and enforcement of adjudication decisions. The authors are specialist practitioners with extensive experience of the Court from both sides of the legal profession. They have combined an authoritative analysis of the powers and constitution of the Court with detailed attention to the practical matters facing litigants, including timescales, costs, and the interaction of the Court's powers with alternative dispute resolution methods. There are useful appendices with extensive materials including a list of the current Judges, a list of District Registries, relevant legislation, rules of procedure, Practice Directions, and statutory instruments and various standard forms. This detailed and authoritative guide to the practice and procedure of this Court will be an essential reference work for all practitioners and in-house counsel involved with construction, engineering and IT disputes.
The Citizen Sector Transformed
Authors: Drayton Bill 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Over the last two and a half decades, the operating half of the world that deals with social issues has gone through an historical transformation of unprecedented speed and scale. It has gone from pre-modern to entrepreneurial and competitive—in precisely the same sense as those words are used in business. This is a profound change in architecture. It is a change with huge relevance for almost everyone. For millions it is a career change waiting to happen. For those running businesses, governments, universities, and—certainly—citizen groups, it is bringing profound changes to the strategic environments facing these institutions. Five years ago, for example, business strategists could afford to pay little attention to the sector. If they do so five years hence, they will probably be committing malpractice. The same is true for scholars or journalists whose job it is to understand and explain the forces at work in society.
Feminist Theories of Work
Authors: Gottfried Heidi 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
As evocatively captured by Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s lament in her short story, ‘The Yellow Wall-Paper’, work has a long, but troubled, history in women’s lives and in feminist thought. Although written in the early twentieth century, Gilman anticipates many of the themes taken up by feminists in the late twentieth century. In this excerpt the female protagonist’s fragile body dooms her to play the part of ‘the weaker sex’ in a Victorian drama.
A Note on Leadership for Collaborative Communities
Authors: Maccoby Michael , Heckscher Charles 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The role of leadership in the move to coJlaborative community is referred to frequently in this volume, but generally as a paradox or mystery: leaders must give up their familiar tools of imperative authority, yet they must continue to play a strong role. Adler and Heckscher (Chapter 1) write that collaboration is compatible with continued hierarchy, though subsumed under the principle of community; but they do not explain how leaders can navigate this seeming contradiction.
How to Map Arguments in Political Science
Authors: Parsons Craig 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
To venture into explanation of political action we need some map of our basic options: what kinds of explanations are out there? Even advanced students and scholars can find the landscape difficult to chart. We confront a bewildering maze of partial typologies, contrasting uses of terms, and debate over what counts as explanation. This book makes an argument about the most useful first cut into explanations of action. It illustrates the map with reference to political examples and a wide range of political science literature, but the scheme applies even more broadly across the social sciences and history. Common terms form the sectors of the map: structural, institutional, ideational, and psychological logics. This book's novelties lie in arguments about how to best define these terms. It narrows them into distinct mechanisms, arriving at basic segments of causal logic into which all explanations of action can be broken down. It also makes them compatible, however, such that we could imagine a world in which all operated while debating how much each caused any given action. Four benefits follow. The typology directs our attention to the most basic debates about what causes what. Its framework is systematic and exhaustive, bounding our explanatory universe. It defines our main approaches in ways that facilitate both competition and combination. Lastly, it leads to revisions of prevailing views on philosophy of science and research design to encourage more open and rigorous debates. Graduate students will find no other overviews of comparable scope and precision. Scholars of all theoretical inclinations will encounter provocative challenges to their views of theorizing and use of terms.
Swift Trust and Temporary Groups
Authors: Meyerson Debra , Weick Karl E , Kramer Roderick M 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This is the ‘Dallas Organization.’ As Peters and others have noted, temporary groups of this sort are becoming an increasingly common form of organization (Kanter, 1989; Peters, 1992). In many respects, such groups constitute an interesting organizational analog of a ‘one-night stand.’ They have a finite life span, form around a shared and relatively clear goal or purpose, and their success depends on a tight and coordinated coupling of activity. As an organizational form, temporary groups turn upside down traditional notions of organizing. Temporary groups often work on tasks with a high degree of complexity, yet they lack the formal structures that facilitate coordination and control (Thompson, 1967).

Final thoughts on Iran, the EU and the limits of conditionality
Authors: Kile Shannon N 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
For the European Union, the Iranian nuclear issue poses an early and important test for the implementation of its Strategy against Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction. Some European leaders have emphasized the importance of resolving the issue, through EU-led diplomacy, for the credibility of a distinctive European approach to addressing WMD proliferation challenges and for demonstrating that Europe is foreign policy actor to be reckoned with on the international scene. For countries such as Iran, non-proliferation has become the main prism through which the wider spectrum of their political, economic and trade relations with the EU is refracted.
Ownership, Co-Ownership, and the Justification of Property Rights
Authors: Penner* James 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
One of the marks of Jim Harris’s property scholarship was his clear elaboration of and sustained emphasis on the concept of ‘ownership’ and the way it figures in a proper understanding of property. In this chapter I hope to elaborate a ‘property- specific justice reason’, Harris’s term for those reasons which specifically worked to justify rights to property, which has not hitherto been given sufficient attention. To do so I will elaborate a distinction between two different kinds of property interest, the ‘ownership’ interest and lesser ‘proprietary right’.

Cystic Fibrosis: The Facts provides a much needed simple and understandable source book about this disease. It is aimed at those living with the Cystic Fibrosis (CF), either themselves or members of their families or their friends. The book explains clearly what is happening to the body in CF, what causes it and what treatment options are available for the different aspects of the disease. There are more detailed chapters for those wanting to find out about the genetics of the disease and specific aspects such as how it affects life choices and employment. It looks to the future in terms of potential new therapies for CF and provides useful information on organizations that can provide help and further information across those areas of the world where the disease is prevalent.
Beyond Laboratory Phonology The Phonetics of Speech Communication
Authors: Kohler Klaus J 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Every science develops paradigms—sets of theoretical and methodological principles—which are only partly determined by scientific phenomena, far more so by the sociology of science. They are passed on through teaching and an influential, often missionary discipleship, and are finally codified in textbooks and degree curricula. Changing them is the equivalent of a scientific revolution (Kuhn 1970).
Applying Perceptual Methods to the Study of Phonetic Variation and Sound Change
Authors: Beddor Patrice Speeter , Brasher, Anthony , Narayan Chandan 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Linguists have long recognized phonetic variation as a key factor in sound change (e.g. Paul 1880; Baudouin de Courtenay 1972a), and researchers’ ability to study phonetic variation continues to evolve with methodological advances. For example, the use of conversational corpora to study variation in connected speech has opened the door to large-scale investigation of the ways in which variation in speech production mirrors patterns of sound change. At the same time, a comparable large-scale database is not available, nor possible, for speech perception.
Your capital
Authors: Mayson Stephen 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Historically, lawyers have not needed to think very much, or in a very sophisticated way, about the value of their businesses. Equity partners in professional partnerships have usually invested capital in the firm, and may look to banks and other lenders for help with financing premises, equipment, and working capital. There has been a predominantly internal focus on investment and valuation, with most partners expecting only the return of their contributed capital and any undrawn profits. The dis-appearance of goodwill from the vast majority of law firm balance sheets has removed the prospect of capital appreciation that can be realized by a departing partner. Further, external ownership has generally not been permitted, and only limited external investment has been allowed (if at all) by the professional rules in most jurisdictions. There has therefore been little reason to look at law firms as outside investors might.
New Sources of Radical Innovation: Research Technologies, Transversality, and Distributed Learning in a Post-industrial Order
Authors: Shinn Terry 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This chapter connects literature in the history and sociology of science and technology to studies in organizational sociology of innovation. The focus is the emergence of a new technical/organizational/epistemological environment specifically propitious to the growth of radical innovation. What exactly is ‘radical innovation’? Radical innovation may usefully be defined as the generation of novel products or/and processes with simultaneous reference to a vertical and a horizontal axis. The vertical axis refers to the raw materials, components, and production operations involved in the manufacture/production of products, and the horizontal axis refers to the variety and range of end-user products and services which the innovation directly fits or strongly affects.
The Taylor Institution
Authors: Barber Giles 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The foundation, in 1724, of the Regius professorship of Modern History, and of the professor’s supporting posts for teaching modern languages, has been described in The Eighteenth Century.’ This initiative petered slowly out as regards the language side, which only moved forward some 120 years later following a delayed benefaction from a remarkable man. Sir Robert Taylor, born at Woodford, Essex, in 1714, was originally a sculptor and a pupil of Sir Henry Cheere. When Taylor’s apprenticeship was over his father gave him ‘just money enough to travel on a plan of frugal study to Rome’. While the future Sir Robert was in Rome news reached him of his father’s death and he decided to return home at once. This he is reputed to have done disguised as a Franciscan friar, since he lacked the passports necessary to cross Europe in time of war. Having thus ‘passed unmolested through the enemy’s camp’, he returned to find that his father had died (in 1743) a bankrupt. Friends came to his aid and he soon made a considerable reputa-tion as a sculptor. Realizing, however, the strength of contemporary competition in this field, he turned to architecture, and by hard work and businesslike methods built up one of the most extensive practices of his day, being surveyor to the Bank of England, the Admiralty, and the Customs, Architect of the King’s Works, Master Carpenter, and Deputy Surveyor. He was knighted in 1783 upon his election as Sheriff of London.
Capabilities and Happiness: Overcoming the Informational Apartheid in the Assessment of Human Well-Being
Authors: Comim Flavio 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Five years have passed, but I still remember well that day. The setting was one of the poorest neighborhoods of one of the largest Brazilian cities: Porto Alegre. He was very slim. His clothes were very dirty. He had few teeth. He seemed hungry. I asked him whether he would mind answering a few questions we had about the well-being of the population. He consented. It was a small list of questions.
The representation of movement in ability nominalizations. Evidence for covert category movement, Edge phenomena, and local LF
Authors: Roeper Thomas , Hout Angeliek Van 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Two questions are prominent in modern minimalist discussions: how abstract are the principles which govern grammar, and how far do syntax and the lexicon penetrate one another? We argue that very sharp data reveal the presence of a passive operation for ability nominalizations which (a) entails covert phrasal movement, (b) a ‘long-distance’ connection to an Edge, (c) LF sensitivity, and (d) the Chain Condition (following Chomsky (2001), Pesetsky (2000), as well as Frampton & Gutman (2000), Fu et al.
What causes simple falls? Trips, slips, and the effects of illness
Authors: Darowski Dr Adam 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Most falls are due to simple trips and slips of the sort that we all experience from time to time. Most older people who fall do not need any specialist intervention. Most do not ever see a doctor or nurse and find that they have soon forgotten all about it. The problem arises when the falls start to recur and to form a pattern. Those aspects of ageing discussed elsewhere start to play a role. Impaired vision and loss of sensory input from the inner ear and from peripheral nerves, together with a slowing of reaction times, all play a part in turning a stumble into a fall. Other illnesses or disabilities which might have been present for years—the arthritic knee, the mild Parkinson’s disease, the old stroke, the peripheral neuropathy—now contribute to impaired walking or balance in a way that they did not before.
What causes giddiness?
Authors: Darowski Dr Adam 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Giddiness:
is a very complex and poorly understood symptom when it occurs on standing, can be caused by a drop in the blood supply to the brain occurs when the brain has insufficient information to tell it where it is in space is strongly associated with anxiety and depression is a common side effect of medications needs to be distinguished from vertigo. Where no treatable cause is found, coping strategies help people to manage their problem.Giddiness and unsteadiness are the symptoms most commonly associated with falls. It is very difficult for patients to describe these symptoms, and in particular it is often difficult to distinguish from the patient’s story whether they have giddiness or vertigo—words that are often used interchangeably, even by doctors.
Visual problems that can contribute to falls
Authors: Darowski Dr Adam 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Having the wrong prescription spectacles is the most common visual problem leading to falls. Eye diseases can lead to impaired vision, and are a major cause of falls. Cataracts can only be treated by surgery. Macular degeneration is a progressive disorder, for which there is usually no effective treatment. Glaucoma is treated with eye drops to prevent an increase in the pressure in the eye. Diabetes has several different effects on the eye. Maintaining good diabetic control slows the progression of diabetic eye disease. New vessels are managed with laser treatment.Spectacles Impaired vision is a major contributory factor for many people who fall. The most common problems are simple short-sightedness, often since youth, or the long-sightedness that occurs once the lens starts to harden after the age of 40. These problems are corrected with glasses. Many people make do with glasses that do not correct their poor vision well enough.
How can walking aids help?
Authors: Darowski Dr Adam 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
A walking stick gives the brain extra information about where the floor is and broadens the base of support to add stability. A Zimmer frame provides support and stability, but has to be lifted at every step. A wheeled Zimmer frame allows support, and is easier for walking.? A delta frame has larger wheels and allows walking at a faster pace, but has limited stability. A trolley may contain a seat and a shopping bag.Walking sticks A walking stick is the most common aid that older people use to help with walking and balance. Some weight can be put through the stick, relieving the burden on a painful or stiff hip or knee joint to a minor extent. The amount of weight that can be transferred onto the stick is small, and a stick is not particularly good for this purpose as it is carried on one side and is not very comfortable to lean on. The walking stick effectively widens the area over which the body is stable.A walking stick gives additional information about body position. Information from the hand holding the stick is much more sensitive than information from the legs.
Working Time And Holidays
Authors: McLynn Lucy 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Working Time and Holidays: A Practical Legal Guide acts as a concise, affordable, and practical guide to the Working Time Regulations 1998. There were 55,712 claims registered in the Employment Tribunals as "Working Time" claims in 2008, and the area is increasingly one on which almost all employment lawyers will need to advise. The book aims to demystify what is viewed as a difficult and technical area of the law. The book examines topics such as the maximum working week, rest and breaks, annual leave, night work, young workers, and unfair dismissal, detriment and enforcement. The substantial body of case law in the ten years since the implementation of the Regulations, and the amending legislation (including the Working Time (Amendment) Regulations 2007) is brought together and discussed. Working Time and Holidays: A Practical Legal Guide is structured so that answers to questions can be easily found and understood - using case studies, frequently asked questions, and checklists. The book also contains appendices which include both the text of the Regulations, and useful precedents such as an opt out agreement, contractual clauses, annual leave policy, and a record keeping checklist.
