Purpose: We propose in this paper to analyze what are the factors that influence knowledge transfer both intra and intergenerational in family firms. The main objective is to establish a framework that can be used later in empirical research, although we maintain a completely theoretical approach in this paper Design/methodology/approach: This study, which is a comprehensive framework character...

A functional approach for the study of the random walks in random sceneries (RWRS) is proposed. Under fairly general assumptions on the random walk and on the random scenery, functional limit theorems are proved. The method allows to study separately the convergence of the walk and of the scenery: on the one hand, a general criterion for the convergence of the local time of the walk is provided...

The data asset is increasingly becoming one of the top factors in securing organization success. Recognizing the importance of the quality of data, practitioners and researchers have considered for many years ways to improve data quality. Scientists have worked on mathematical and statistical model to introduce constrain based mechanism to prevent data quality problems. Management of the proces...

product mix problem (pmp) is one of the most important and complicated problems in production systems. different approaches have been applied to solve this problem, among them, theory of constraints (toc) has been widely considered since 1990s. this paper develops a distinguished algorithm to solve product mix prob-lems that is efficient both in single and multi-bottleneck problems. at first, t...

Upcoming spacecraft will reuse software components to the extent that some systems will form product families of similar or identical units (e.g., a eet of spaceborne telescopes). Missions such as these must be demonstrably safe, but the consequences of broad reuse are hard to evaluate from a software safety perspective. This paper reports experience specifying an interferometer (telescope) sub...

Design of gracefully degrading systems, where functionality is gradually reduced in the face of faults, has traditionally been a very difficult and error-prone task. General approaches to graceful degradation are typically limited to re-implementation of the system for a number of pre-designated fallback configurations. We describe an architecture-based approach to gracefully degrading systems ...

providing wider variety of products often leads to higher complexity in the manufacturing and business system. finding appropriate methods and techniques to manage these difficulties is going to be an attractive topic for researchers in operations management. by adopting a qualitative approach we have investigated the product variety management in the apparel supply chain. the main contribution...
