Some dairy farmers look at their employees as a cost factor, which needs to be kept minimal. Others see their employees as a resource. With proper management, employees can help keep a farm successful in the long run. How a farmer looks at his or her employees determines how employees will be managed and what role labor will play on a farm. If you are the kind of farmer who sees employees as a ...

The central aim of this paper is to instigate the construction of a theory of information strategy based on the Resource-based View (RBV) of the firm (Barney, 1986, 1991; Penrose, 1959; Wernerfelt, 1984). Therefore, an initial theoretical framework is proposed within which such a theory could be developed further. In essence, this theoretical framework sheds light on how organizations can reali...

Papers published on the resource-based theory (RBT) have made clear its widespread application, heterogeneity, and usefulness as a strategic approach. This paper empirically analyzes the assumptions underlying the theory from an inductive perspective. The paper differs from previous works by identifying the main trends within the theory and by noting their diffusion among the leading management...

The next generation expected to provide high data rate to handle the huge demand on new dataconsuming applications and services, Also the higher number of connected devices due to using new technologies such as internet of things (IoT) will make the challenge more difficult. New techniques must be used to face this challenges such as base station densification, use new high frequency bands, Mac...

Resource-based theory focuses on how economic value is created and sustained, providing the theoretical underpinnings for explaining and predicting sustainable competitive advantage. An implicit assumption of resource-based theory is that the firm’s property rights to such resources are secure. However, where property rights to potentially value-creating resources are not fully secure, as in bu...

With the rapid development of the world economy, the marketing competitiveness of Chinese enterprises are facing a huge challenge. Based on the status quo, a marketing power management model based on the enterprise resource theory is introduced, the model introduced enterprise resource management theory, and building enterprise marketing evaluation index system according to the characteristics ...

Connectivity and relatedness of Web resources are two concepts that define to what extent different parts are connected or related to one another. Measuring connectivity and relatedness between Web resources is a growing field of research, often the starting point of recommender systems. Although relatedness is liable to subjective interpretations, connectivity is not. Given the Semantic Web’s ...

We are interested in the design and evaluation of access control policies for virtual communities, in which an agent can be both a resource consumer as well as a resource provider, and authorization to access resources can be delegated to agents called authorities. We introduce a multiagent model that distinguishes the three roles of consumption, provision and authorization, and to evaluate the...

The functional capabilities of the brain are formally characterizable in terms of a finite system along with a memory space which it can manipulate. Two types of learning are possible: ( 1) modification-based learning, associated with alternate realizations of the finite system; (2) memory-based learning, associated with the assimilation, manipulation, and retrieval of memories. Constructive mo...
