From the resource-based view of the firm to the knowledge-based view of the firm it is clear that a particular intangible resource has become the cornerstone of sustainable competitive advantage (Barney, 1986; Conner, 1991; Foss, 1996; Lippman and Rumelt, 1982; Penrose, 1959). This resource is organizational knowledge. According to Peteraf’s framework (1993) “four conditions must be met for a f...

LetX denote the rational curve with n+1 nodes obtained from the Riemann sphere by identifying 0 with∞ and ζj with −ζj for j = 0, 1, . . . , n−1, where ζ is a primitive (2n)th root of unity. We show that if n is even, then X has no smooth Weierstrass points, while if n is odd, then X has 2n smooth Weierstrass points. C. Widland [14] showed that the rational curve with three nodes obtained from P...

Purpose: The aim of this study is to examine the mediating factor attitude on consumers’ intention purchase remanufactured automotive components in Malaysia. Theoretical framework: Theory Perceived Behaviour (TPB) can be expanded, accordance with Ajzen (1991), by adding new variables or modifying present paths between variables. As previously mentioned, TPB contends that attitude, subjective no...

Dysphagia localized to the post-cricoid region occurring mainly in middle-aged women was first fully described in the papers of Paterson (1919) and Kelly (1919). Kelly noted an association with anaemia, superficial glossitis, and angular stomatitis, while Paterson remarked on " the not infrequent supervention of malignant disease at the mouth of the gullet." Vinson (1922) observed the developme...

The isolation and quantitative determination of certain metabolic products formed from carbon compounds by crown-gall and related bacteria have been studied as part of a larger program (Riker and Berge, 1935) on atypical and pathological multiplication of cells. The general question of the metabolism of these microorganisms has been reviewed in a previous paper (Conner, Peterson and Riker, 1937...
