Uncertainty makes economic and project management more difficult for any entity. This is especially true for sovereigns that have experienced substantial financial volatility and shocks throughout the nineties, especially those with substantial debt and commodity price exposures. Furthermore, the development of a strategic approach at the country level for the analysis of that uncertainty has l...

Field weathering of spent mushroom substrate (SMS) produces soluble compost leachate that percolates into underlying soils and may adversely impact groundwater. Laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate movement and retention of SMS leachate solutes in subsurface soil columns. Spent mushroom substrate leachate with high concentrations of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and inorganic s...

This paper discusses key properties of the N-form corporation or internal network forms of organizing from three mutually related perspectives: structure, knowledge flows and management processes. To operationalize knowledge flows, a key property of N-forms, the paper suggests a new measure, the H/V ratio, to empirically assess the configuration of knowledge flows. The argument is illustrated b...
