Purpose The motivation for this study comes from decision making related to strategic marketing orientations in international markets. authors examine if customer orientation and relationship perform as two distinct constructs driving firm innovativeness, how together they support business growth among export firms. This aims suggest a customer-centric strategy firms that drive innovativeness g...

in this article, vibration analysis of an euler-bernoulli beam resting on a pasternak-type foundation is studied. the governing equation is solved by using a spectral finite element model (sfem). the solution involves calculating wave and time responses of the beam. the fast fourier transform function is used for temporal discretization of the governing partial differential equation into a set ...

This paper develops sound and complete axiomatisations for the divergence sensitive spectrum of weak bisimulation equivalence. The axiomatisations can be extended to a considerable fragment of the linear time – branching time spectrum with silent moves, partially solving an open problem posed in [5].

Real-time and hybrid systems have been studied so far under the assumption of finite variability. In this paper, we consider models in which systems exhibiting finite divergence can also be analysed. In such systems the state of the system can change infinitely often in a finite time. This kind of behaviour arises in many representations of hybrid systems, and also in theories of nonlinear syst...

This paper studies the Minimum Divergence (MD) class of estimators for econometric models specified through moment restrictions. We show that MD estimators can be obtained as solutions to a computationally tractable optimization problem. This problem is similar to the one solved by the Generalized Empirical Likelihood estimators of Newey and Smith (2004), but it is equivalent to it only for a s...
