Social software challenges strategic thinking in important ways: empowering creative, independent individuals implies indeterminate and uncertain reactions and creations in support of, or in opposition to, management’s original thinking. We build a framework that organizes research on social software, taking perspectives from both inside and outside companies. We use this framework to introduce...

Abstract: Let m : Σ → X be a Banach space valued countably additive vector measure. In this paper we present a procedure to construct an m -orthogonal system in the space L(m) of square integrable functions with respect to m . If the vector measure is constructed from a family of indeterminate scalar measures, it is possible to obtain a family of polynomials that is orthogonal with respect to t...

Knowledge transfer literature treats the transfer of explicit knowledge ‘embodied’ in documents and the like as unproblematic. No empirical grounds are given for this assumption, and some authors have recently expressed reservations suggesting that complex cognitive and social process are involved. Reading theory and research is an obvious place to turn to for further insight. The transactional...

If P is a moment-indeterminate probability distribution, then it is desirable to present explicitly other distributions possessing the same moments as P. In this paper, a method to construct an infinite family of probability densities called the Stieltjes class all with the same moments is presented. The method is applicable for densities with support (0,∞) which satisfy the lower bound: f(x) ≥...

When Smith [The Wired Nation. Cable TV: The Electronic Communications Highway. Harper & Row, New York, 1972] described the ‘‘wired nation’’ some three decades ago, he saw an abundance of content and services that eventually would provide audiences with an almost unlimited menu of options. Almost three decades later, that vision has expanded beyond cable television to include satellite and cable...

Economic debates over minimum wage policy are typically premised on the assumption that raising a binding wage floor must reduce long-run employment if the affected markets are competitive and complete. It is shown here to the contrary that employment effects of raising the minimum are indeterminate if competitive employers incur person-specific labor costs, which vary with the number of employ...

I study a non-stochastic, perfect foresight, general equilibrium model with a banking system that may hold large excess reserves when the central bank pays interest on reserves. The banking system also faces a capital constraint that may or may not be binding. When the rate of interest on reserves equals the market rate, if the quantity of reserves is large and bank capital is not scarce, the p...

The QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube (QFT-G IT) test (Cellestis Inc., Valencia, CA) is one of the gamma interferon release assays (IGRAs) that are promising tools for diagnosing active or latent Mycobacterium tuberculosis infections. We investigated the clinical and laboratory factors that affect the rate of indeterminate QFT-G IT test results. We also suggest a workflow strategy for achieving optim...

A calculation formula is established for the codimension of the polynomial subspace in L2(R, dμ) with discrete indeterminate measure μ. We clarify how much the masspoint of the n-canonical solution of an indeterminate Hamburger moment problem differs from the masspoint of the corresponding N-extremal solution at a given point of the real axis.
