Attempts to provide a practical framework in which practitioners may develop human resources (HR) strategies in line with their organizations' corporate planning processes. Proposes a four-step approach involving: development of a strategic framework; generating of HR mission statement; application of analysis; and making strategic planning decision between HR options. Outlines a four-dimension...

Among the strategic choices made by today’s economic actors are choices about algorithms and computational resources. Different access to computational resources may result in a kind of economic asymmetry analogous to information asymmetry. In order to represent strategic computational choices within a game theoretic framework, we propose a new game specification, Strategic Bayesian Networks (S...

although on the basis of geo-economic theories, study of energy-related issues is of strategic importance to all countries, energy resources are no more restricted to oil and gas reserves as was the case during the past century. of course, these resources are still key elements of global energy reserves. today, in addition to geo-politics and geo-economics, the concept of hydro-geopolitics puts...

Quantifiers like “all” and “every” are frequent in daily language. However, when a sentence contains two quantifiers or is “doubly-quantified” (e.g., “Every boy ate a cookie”) the meaning can often be ambiguous since there are two potential interpretations: collective (e.g., several boys sharing a single cookie) and distributive (e.g., several boys each eating their own cookie). Psycholinguisti...

The assignment of tasks to multiple resources becomes an interesting game theoretic problem, when both the task owner and the resources are strategic. In the classical, nonstrategic setting, where the states of the tasks and resources are observable by the controller, this problem is that of finding an optimal policy for a Markov decision process (MDP). When the states are held by strategic age...

This empirical research analyses how firm resources influence the choice of governance structures in strategic alliances in the German telecommunications industry. The results of the study indicate that the choice of governance structure is determined by knowledge-based resources rather than resource heterogeneity, and support the claim that partner firms will use equity to safeguard their know...

Preceding research attributed the lack of direct causal impact of Information Technology (IT) on firm’s sustainable competitive advantage. Numerous missing links include antecedents of the ITbusiness strategic alignment (also known as strategic alignment) and the sustainable competitive advantage. Furthermore, reviewers of recent literature have called for more research into the factors that af...
