While both the determinants of R&D collaborations and the effects of government funding on private R&D expenditures have received considerable attention individually, the effect of their interaction on incentives for firm collaboration is not well understood. This paper develops a theoretical model which can explain a previously overlooked empirical finding: R&D collaborations that receive gove...

Organizational behavior researchers have recently distinguished positive psychology from prior IS project team members’ emotion frequency. We expanded this research by examining the psychological capital antecedents effect and second order variable on prior IS project team members’ creativity ability within a small to medium information software developer company. We found that the concept of p...

In Australia, we are facing a period of mental health reform with the establishment of federally funded community youth services in rural areas of the country. These new services have great potential to improve the mental health of rural adolescents. In the context of this new initiative, we have four main objectives with this article.

Offshore wind offers a very large clean power resource, but electricity from the first US offshore wind contracts is costlier than current regional wholesale electricity prices. To better understand the factors that drive these costs, we develop a pro-forma cash flow model to calculate two results: the levelized cost of energy, and the breakeven price required for financial viability. We then d...

Resource planning in large-scale construction projects has been a complicated management issue requiring mechanisms to facilitate decision making for managers. In the present study, a computer-aided simulation model is developed based on concurrent control of resources and revenue/expenditure. The proposed method responds to the demand of resource management and scheduling in shell material emb...
