Drawing on a new and comprehensive measure of logistics quality, our gravity model suggests logistics in the exporting and partner-country can have an important impact on bilateral exports. A one standard deviation improvement in the exporter’s logistics quality, which for example would improve Gabon to the level of Guinea, would raise exports by almost 60%. Landlocked countries’ exports depend...

Phonon-based Weyl points (WPs) are usually considered to appear in pairs with opposite chirality. Here, we report the phonon dispersion a realistic material monosodium phosphoramidate, NaHPO3NH2, which has two types of unpaired WP systems: (i) hourglass charge-3 (C-3) WPs and six C-1 conventional forming topological complex; (ii) one C-2 WP, topologically charged nodal surface, point-surface sy...

Building on research in organizational learning and technology management, this study develops and tests a knowledge-based model of acquirer-target relatedness and innovation performance in high technology mergers and acquisitions. Knowledge relatedness emphasizes both complementarity (supporting or facilitating knowledge bases) and similarity (overlapping knowledge bases). An examination of hi...

Kurzfassung: Process management systems support business processes. They supply process participants, i.e., clerks or software services in an insurance company, with the right data at the right point in time. However, complex business processes cannot be entirely planned before execution. Unexpected events demand for deviations from the plan during process execution. This inherent property of b...

Abstract Despite its rapid diplomatic rise in the UN setting and global recognition as an established norm, Responsibility to Protect (R2P) has yet substantially incorporate gender directly engage with complementary Women, Peace, Security (WPS) agenda. The article discusses this R2P limitation ways rectify it through capitalizing on a landmark annual report cross-cutting areas of engagement WPS...
