How firms build new capabilities to adapt to changing environments is in the core of strategic management. However, only recently research has addressed this question. In this paper I develop a model that lays out how firms develop an capability to create and develop ventures through corporate venture capital, alliances, and acquisitions. The model is based on seven in-depth case studies of lar...

The effects of gas pressure gradients on the motion of solid grains in the solar nebula substantially enhances the efficiency of forming protoplanetary cores in the standard core accretion model in ’hybrid’ scenarios for gas/ice giant planet formation. Such a scenario is ’migration-enhanced’ core accretion which results from Epstein-drag induced inward radial migration of mm-sized grains needed...

T prove success in ubiquitous computing research, you must implement your ideas and deploy them in support of a work practice or community activity. Anything less, and the design’s utility will always be doubted, even if the core engineering is outstanding. The phrase “build what you use and use what you build” was part of Xerox Palo Alto Research Center’s culture during the 1980s’ heyday of pa...

OBJECTIVES This study evaluated the influence of water on the volumetric dimensional change of six direct placement core build-up materials by using Archimedes' principle. METHODS The effect on dimensional change due to the setting reaction was determined through the use of a silicone oil storage medium. The materials used were two dual-cured resin composites (CoreStore and Build-It FR), two ...
