Phonological representations are blamed for too much. They are taken to task for missing generalizations which can be captured elsewhere. In this paper I review some recent criticisms of the view that feature hierarchies are hierarchies of autosegmental tiers, especially the arguments of Hayes (1990) and Halle (1993), and try to show that although the considerations they raise are important one...

Prior research on technological frames indicates that many of the difficulties associated with systems implementation stem from differences in the meanings users, managers, and system developers attribute to automation projects. Although the concept of technological frames has been used to explore the bases for intergroup conflict during implementation, it is also a useful device for probing mo...

This 16-country one state study (N = 1583) sampled personnel from Sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia, Arab region. The results expand current knowledge by examining understudied countries, measuring impact on satisfaction, evaluating di...

We define and study hierarchies of topological spaces induced by the classical Borel and Luzin hierarchies of sets. Our hierarchies are divided into two classes: hierarchies of countably based spaces induced by their embeddings into Pω, and hierarchies of spaces (not necessarily countably based) induced by their admissible representations. We concentrate on the non-collapse property of the hier...

We explore whether the tendency for smaller firms to have fewer hierarchical layers explains the well‐documented inverse correlation between firm size and the rate at which employees become business owners. Our analysis is based on a Swedish matched employer‐employee dataset. Conditional on firm size, employees in firms with more layers are less likely to enter entrepreneurship, to become self‐...
