Purpose: We propose in this paper to analyze what are the factors that influence knowledge transfer both intra and intergenerational in family firms. The main objective is to establish a framework that can be used later in empirical research, although we maintain a completely theoretical approach in this paper Design/methodology/approach: This study, which is a comprehensive framework character...

A functional approach for the study of the random walks in random sceneries (RWRS) is proposed. Under fairly general assumptions on the random walk and on the random scenery, functional limit theorems are proved. The method allows to study separately the convergence of the walk and of the scenery: on the one hand, a general criterion for the convergence of the local time of the walk is provided...

during recent years several attempts have been made to incorporate environmental and natural resources degradation into national accounts. gnp as measured by the traditional system of national accounts does not consider environmental degradation caused by inefficient exploitation of natural resources. while the complete omission of environmental impacts is not possible, there could be an optima...

in the recent years, increasing use of limited resources causes severe damages to the environment. this lead to increase environmental concerns in societies. resource waste reduction can control these damages. as food waste causes a lot of resource waste, controlling this waste is very important to reduce damages to the environment. this paper considers the environmental importance of food pack...

human activities due to implementation of projects has caused significant concerns on biodiversity in human societies. hence, assessing the environmental impacts of those projects has been considered as a tool to help environmental managers to prevent emergence of those adverse impacts in general and those impacts which are related to biodiversity, in particular. it is provided that all compone...

abstract given the importance of environmental cycles had led to allocation of water-right for water species and ecosystems which is known as environmental flow or in stream flow. from among the various methods for estimating environmental flow, building block approach is considered as a very powerful tool for estimating the water needs. in this paper, beside simplifying the building block appr...
