Strategies determine the long-term direction of organizations and institutions and they are historically formulated by top management. In an increasingly interconnected world, more and more stakeholders are expecting to contribute to both the development and the implementation of strategies.

An algorithm for estimating reliable and accurate depth maps from stereoscopic image pairs is presented, which is based on block–matching techniques for disparity estimation. By taking neighboring disparity values into account, reliability and accuracy of the estimated disparity values are increased and the corona effect at disparity discontinuities is avoided. An interpolation of disparity val...

We analyze the effects of different types and concentration of ownership on performance using a population of firms in a model transition economy (Czech Republic) after mass privatization. Specifications based on first-differences combined with instrumental variables show that contrary to conventional wisdom, the effects of different types of ownership and ownership changes are limited. Concent...

Most ownership systems enforce a tree topology on a program’s heap. The tree topology facilitates many aspects of programming such as thread synchronization, memory management, and program verification. Ownership-based verification techniques leverage the tree topology of an ownership system (and hence the fact that there exists a single owner) to restore sound modular reasoning about invariant...

Adults apply ownership not only to objects but also to ideas. But do people come to apply principles of ownership to ideas because of being taught about intellectual property and copyrights? Here, we investigate whether children apply rules from physical property ownership to ideas. Studies 1a and 1b show that children (6-8 years old) determine ownership of both objects and ideas based on who f...
