Power has been an important topic amongst scholars in Information Systems (IS) research. Despite the vast literature on power in IS research, we found there is a lack of study that investigates the significance of power in a Parent-Subsidiary relationship. As a part of an ongoing research to explore the role of IS in the Parent-Subsidiary relationship, this paper highlights the impact of Enterp...

In the Province Hospital Susak the Medical Association of the Croatian Coast and Gorski kotar was founded on October 2nd, 1936. At that time on the territory of the former District of Susak there were 59 physicians. The inauguration meeting was attended by 41 physicians and 26 of them voted for the autonomous Association rather than for one within the Croatian Medical Association of Zagreb. Vla...

We use insights from resource dependence, institutional theories and social movement theories to examine the indigenization of subsidiary management in the multinational company (MNC). We discuss the effects of interdependence with local organizations, access to critical resources, and MNC legitimacy in the host country on the indigenization of subsidiary management. We consider the impact of l...

The unprecedented escalation in the number of organisations that have decided to internationalise their operations in the last two decades, and the international movement of labour that has accompanied such expansion, has meant that understanding the process of knowledge sharing within subsidiary operations has become an issue of increasing importance. Where the cultural distance between home a...

GETARUNS, the system for text and reference understanding which is currently used for summarization and text generation has a highly sophisticated linguistically based semantic module which is used to build up the Discourse Model. Semantic processing is strongly modularized and distributed amongst a number of different submodules which take care of Spatio-Temporal Reasoning, Discourse Level Ana...

We study spin-1/2 Heisenberg XXX antiferromagnet. The spectrum of the Hamiltonian was found by Hans Bethe in 1931, [1]. We study the probability of formation of ferromagnetic string in the antiferromagnetic ground state, which we call emptiness formation probability P (n). This is the most fundamental correlation function. We prove that for the short strings it can be expressed in terms of the ...

A physical random number generator based on the intrinsic randomness of quantum mechanics is described. The random events are realized by the choice of single photons between the two outputs of a beamsplitter. We present a simple device, which minimizes the impact of the photon counters’ noise, dead-time and after pulses. Random numbers are employed today as well for numerical simulations as fo...
