We give a stochastic algorithm to compute the p-mean of a probability measure μ whose support is contained in a regular geodesic ball of a Riemannian manifold. We show the almost sure convergence of this algorithm. Under a further regularity condition, an associated central limite theorem is also proved. Moreover, it is shown that a deterministic subgradient algorithm can also be used to comput...

Contacts with companies that had relocated service activities from the Stockholm city area to rural areas during the seventies, eighteens and the nineties, pointed to a phenomenon of increased productivity. A small study in 1995 also confirmed the experience of a positive leap in productivity. Previous research in the field is limited and mostly related to manufacturing industry. The literature...

Business enterprises continue to globalize, motivated by their search for new markets, greater efficiency in the use of resources, and greater competitiveness. Information systems and technologies serve as one of the critical success factors for making this possible. Some IS curricula supported this development by either integrating more globalization into current courses or by delivering stand...
