چکیده

This paper is essentially a specification on analytical framework of a PhD thesis. The thesis itself is entitled: “Intellectual capital and economic performance of firms in the knowledge-based economy: a close look at evolution of modern enterprises” and is a study that seeks to understand the nature and function of the business firm as it is evolving with the changing today economy. The first step in this study seeks to synthesise contending views of the firm as theorised by economic and management scholars. Aided by a meta-theory: ‘general system theory’ or GST, an integrated ‘system view of the firm’ is devised as a synthesis of these existing theories and the core analytical framework for the thesis. This paper proposes the devised system view of the firm as a candidate for a synthesised analytical framework for study on the business firm. It reviews existing theories of the firm, traces a brief history of GST, and deliberates on the meaning and power of the proposed ‘system view of the firm’.

Signaling mechanisms that mediate nitric oxide production induced by acetylcholine exposure and withdrawal in cat atrial myocytes.

Fluorescence microscopy and the NO-sensitive indicator 4,5-diaminofluorescein were used to determine the effects of acetylcholine (ACh) on intracellular NO (NOi) in cat atrial myocytes. Field stimulation (1 Hz) of cells or exposure of quiescent cells to ACh (1 to 10 micromol/L) had no effect on NOi. However, in field-stimulated cells, ACh exposure increased NOi, and ACh withdrawal elicited an a...
