This study proposes a framework to analyze the strategic value of integration, when separation ownership and control is considered. According this framework, we investigate optimal integration strategy in different distribution discuss how external market influences best choice. Beside theoretical analysis, also provide evidence from Chinese listed firms validate our research. The key results s...

Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) has been widely utilized as a navigation solution for mobile vehicle, yet stand-alone GNSS is unable to achieve sufficient accuracy in some applications. For example, aquatic environment, the position of Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) affected by wind, current, and waves dynamics. In this case, integration Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) an approach tha...

Assessing the Impact of Horizontal Integration on Competition in Iran’s Banking Sector: The Panzar-Rosse Approach

A major challenge toward large-scale integration of nanowires is the control over their alignment and position. A possible solution to this challenge is the guided growth process, which enables the synthesis of well-aligned horizontal nanowires that grow according to specific epitaxial or graphoepitaxial relations with the substrate. However, the guided growth of horizontal nanowires was demons...

the use of human resource management (hrm) practices in the form of ‘bundles’ and in integration with the business strategy of the organisation have been emphasised throughout the hrm literature. these are called the horizontal integration and vertical integration respectively. this article aim at examining the use of these practices in liner shipping industry in which human element plays a vit...

A fully three-dimensional coupled mode approach is used in this paper to describe the physics of low frequency acoustic signals propagating through a train of internal waves at an arbitrary azimuth. A three layer model of the shallow water waveguide is employed for studying the properties of normal modes and their coupled interaction due to the presence of nonlinear internal waves. Using a robu...
