Nevertheless, we know little about its influence on customer satisfaction. We investigate how and when identification branch influences The question answered by showing that degree control one's performance mediates impact manager proposing two moderating...

While mastering technology and industry convergence are essential for firms across a growing number of industries, is often rapid abrupt, challenging to develop appropriate strategic responses. Focusing on the historical between information communication technology, we examine microlevel behaviors scientists initiating driving convergence. Analyzing bibliometric dataset 257 641 scientific artic...

Despite the relevance of team boundary spanning in new product development (NPD), there is great deal we still do not know about these activities. For example, little known how activities affect identification, an important emergent state with critical implications for performance. This study extends our understanding this topic by exploring relationship between and identification. examined via...

It has been previously argued that knowledge heterogeneity compiled with geographic separation of team members hinder effective sharing and use of a team’s knowledge. The paper explores how multidisciplinary teams interact to overcome the barriers and take advantage of their ‘built in’ knowledge diversity. The findings of the research suggest that successful integration of multidisciplinary kno...

It is well known that if K is a torus knot of type (m,n) in S, then the exterior of M(K) contains exactly two connected essential surfaces up to isotopy. (See Section 1 for precise definitions of “essential surface” and other terms used in this introduction.) One of the connected essential surfaces in M(K) is an essential annulus whose numerical boundary slope with respect to the standard frami...

Decentralized Online Social Networks (DOSNs) represent a growing trend in the social media landscape, as opposed to well-known centralized peers, which are often spotlight due privacy concerns and vision typically focused on monetization through user relationships. By exploiting open-source software, DOSNs allow users create their own servers, or instances, thus favoring proliferation of platfo...
