Under labels such as global value chains, global production networks, interconnected firms, or outsourcing cross-boundary business processes have gained significant attention in practice and research. However, only little research has yet systematically examined the implications of cross-boundary business processes for Business Process Management (BPM). These cross-boundary business processes t...

This work focuses on pollution control in the trans-boundary area of Taihu Basin. Considering the unique characteristics of the river network in the study area, a new methodology of pollution control is proposed aiming at improving the water quality in the trans-boundary area and reducing conflicts between up and downstream regions. Based on monitoring data and statistical analysis, important t...

A boundary element method has been developed for the analysis of 3D eddy current problems. This method is based on the boundary integral equation formulation with equivalent electric and magnetic currents and electric charge as unknowns. Linear shape functions, defined parametrically over a quadrilateral element, have been selected for the Galerkin’s method.

IT outsourcing success depends on efficient management of client-vendor relationships, wherein, boundary spanners play a crucial role. Boundary spanners are individuals, who operate at the boundary of an organization, performing relevant tasks (Leifer & Delbecq, 1978). In this research we use a qualitative case research method to address the research question “How do boundary spanners influence...

This study examines the work of usability specialists in a multiparty research project producing an open source learning application for children, with children. Children as a user group has been acknowledged decades ago and methods for involving them have been devised, but there is a lack of research examining what happens to children’s input in practice, when integrated with actual developmen...

in this paper we study the boundary layer problems in which boundary conditions are non-local. here we try to find the necessary conditions by the help of fundamental solution to the given adjoint equation. by getting help from these conditions, at first the boundary condition is changed from non-local to local. the main aim of this paper is to identify the location of the boundary layer. in ot...

Understanding boundary conditions, or situations when relations between variables change depending on values of other variables, is critical for theory advancement and for providing guidance for practice. Metaregression is ideally suited to investigate boundary conditions because it provides information on the presence and strength of such conditions. In spite of its potential, results of our r...
