The role of organizational reputation (OR) was studied as a source of sustainable competitive advantage (SCA) and superior performance, theoretically and empirically, among local authorities in Israel. Using the LISREL VIII program, we proposed a mediation model that argued for a relationship between OR and financial performance, mediated by three tests for SCA: OR-value, OR-rareness and OR-ini...

This research aims to provide a new perspective on the evolution of enterprise information technology (IT) capability. Based on complex adaptive system (CAS) theory, this paper built a multi-agent simulation conceptual model for the evolution of enterprise IT capability, designed interaction rules of agent, and realized the simulation by Swarm. The results show that the evolution of enterprise ...

In the present paper a new method for sensorless control is presented, which can handle the presence of multiple non-separatable saliencies. Because of the inimitability of the measured impedance curves, the method is based on the minimum error between the measured curves during operation and precommissioned reference curves. The method can handle alternating and rotating test signals. The capa...

This study investigates antecedents of innovation impacts derived by firms participating in publicly funded collaborative R&D projects. Innovation impacts are reflected in product and process innovation, and inimitability of the resulting technology. Project and firm-specific factors are considered. The dataset for our analysis is based on survey responses from 694 firms collected through an ex...

There has been a lot of debate among Muslim scholars on the elements I'jāz al- Qurān or inimitability Qurān, particularly bayāni which examines language aspects. However, al-Ījāz brevity and al-Iṭnāb verbosity, are part al-Qurān that influence text's meaning, given less attention. This is because most focused their research specific aspects ‘Ilm al-Bayān, such as al-istiʻārah, al-tashbīh, alkin...

Invited for this month's cover is the group of Dr. Ijaz Ul Mohsin. For first time, total heat generation and self-discharging phenomena magnesium batteries containing Chevrel Phase Mo6S8 organic 14PAQ are compared different electrolyte solvents using sophisticated calorimetry. Noticeable differences observed in tetraglyme solvent stable cycling fewer self-discharge detected. However, activation...

Identification of the deceased is important for social and legal framework. One can make out the identity through the evidences available from the corpse or utilize methods to make the best use of the biologic features unique to that individual. Traditionally finger-print method is the most acceptable method of identification. However, because of difficulty in retrieving these records as they a...
