We build on previous research that explores the external acquisition of competitive capabilities through the embedded ties that firms form in networks and alliances. While information sharing and trust have been theorized to be key features of the interorganizational ties that facilitate the acquisition of competitive capabilities, we argue that these mechanisms provide an incomplete explanatio...

play provides opportunities for exploration, experimentation, and manipulation that are essential for constructing knowledge and contributes to the development of representational thought. during play, children examine and refine their learning in light of the feedback they receive from the environment and other people. it is through play that children develop their imaginations and creativity....

This paper presents a case study where competitive e-learning strategies are used in the teaching of an undergraduate Database course in order to develop, in university students, the capacity to actively research and to lead their own learning process. The experience has been carried out in the spring semester (February-June 2007) and is based on the use of the QUEST system. This tool for activ...

Five methods that generate multiple prototypes from labeled data are reviewed. Then we introduce a new sixth approach, which is a modification of Chang’s method. We compare the six methods with two standard classifier designs: the 1nearest prototype (1-np) and 1-nearest neighbor (1-nn) rules. The standard of comparison is the resubstitution error rate; the data used are the Iris data. Our modif...

A 7-week, 10-session individual training program was implemented with a youth elite football (soccer) player who had been underperforming because of poor aerobic fitness. The intervention focused on developing aerobic power and high lactate production and contributed to a 32.3% improvement in a football-specific performance test. The player was able to return to play and exceed expected perform...
