Economic Performance, Strategic Position, and Vulnerability to Ecological Pressure among Interstate Motor Carriers
نویسندگان
چکیده
We explore interactions between an organization’s strategic position, economic performance, and vulnerability to ecological pressures. We posit that (1) high profitability buffers an organization from density-driven competitive pressure and (2) this effect is moderated by an organization’s strategic positioning choices. Our empirical tests, relying on longitudinal data from the U.S. for-hire trucking industry, provides evidence in support of these predictions.

Evaluation of Ecological Vulnerability in Chelgard Mountainous Landscape
Although complexity and vulnerability assessment of mountain landscapes is increasingly taken into consideration, less attention is paid to ecophronesis-based solutions so as to reduce the fragile ecosystem vulnerability. The main propose of this study is to provide an insight of mountain complex landscape vulnerability and propose ecophronesis-based solutions in strategic planning framework fo...

متن کاملTime-on-task decrement in vigilance is modulated by inter-individual vulnerability to homeostatic sleep pressure manipulation
Under sleep loss, vigilance is reduced and attentional failures emerge progressively. It becomes difficult to maintain stable performance over time, leading to growing performance variability (i.e., state instability) in an individual and among subjects. Task duration plays a major role in the maintenance of stable vigilance levels, such that the longer the task, the more likely state instabili...
متن کاملDesign and Implementation of a High-Precision Position Controller for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Based on a New Gain Scheduling Approach
The direct drive permanent magnet synchronous motor (DD-PMSM) is a suitable choice for high-precision position control applications. Among various control methods of this motor, the vector control approaches especially the field oriented control has a high-performance in the industrial drives. In this method, the components of stator current are controlled independently and as a result, the tor...
متن کاملTerritorial Systems, Regional Disparities and Sustainability: Economic Structure and Soil Degradation in Italy
The present study was devoted to identify the evolutionary path of a number of local systems in a Mediterranean country vulnerable to soil degradation (SD) in the last decades. A multivariate analysis was used to evaluate the socio-ecological conditions and to estimate rapidity-of-change of local systems by considering 6 bio-physical factors predisposing soil to degradation and 23 socioeconomic...
