Research on international business presents ‘liability of foreignness’ as a key factor in Multinational Enterprise’s (MNE’s) operations, but it has not addressed ‘foreignness’ complex and dynamic phenomenon. Adopting an identity work perspective, this article examines social construct, studying how Chinese MNE manoeuvres the local economic political contexts. We also shift focus from to origin’...

the present study aimed at determining the relationship between learning styles and the effect of random and blocked practices on learning of badminton serve skills.  in this quasi-experimental study, 48 female high school students were randomly placed in four groups: 1. convergent learning style with random practice, 2. convergent learning style with blocked practice, 3. divergent learning sty...

We used QCD factorization for the hadronic matrix elements to show that the existing data, in particular the branching ratios BR ( ?J/?K) and BR ( ?J/??), can be accounted for this approach. We analyzed the decay within the framework of QCD factorization. We have complete calculation of the relevant hard-scattering kernels for twist-2 and twist-3. We calculated this decays in a special scale ...

Abstract In this article, I share insights from the conversations have enjoyed with my father GC Harcourt on gender, social justice, and economic policy in last years of his long fruitful life. Our reflected our overlapping but at times divergent responses to disruptions caused by environmental, climate, health, economic, political crises. The article reflects around population, alternatives, p...

In the present research, we argue that there are two distinct types of mortality salience, namely mortality salience of self (MSS) which is awareness of one’s own death and mortality salience of a loved one (MSLO) which is awareness of the death of a loved one. Studies based on Terror Management Theoryhave assumed that MSLO individuals’ response might follow predictably from the perspective of ...

Hybridization and polyploidization are prominent processes in plant evolution. Hybrids and allopolyploids typically exhibit radically altered gene expression patterns relative to their parents, a phenomenon termed "transcriptomic shock." To distinguish the effects of hybridization from polyploidization on coregulation of divergent alleles, we analyzed expression of parental copies (homoeologs) ...

Environments shape the traits of organisms. Environmental variation may rarely alter selection on only a few traits, but instead precipitate wholesale changes of the multidimensional selective regime-many traits might experience divergent selection across divergent environments. Such changes in selection can elicit multifarious evolution. How predictable (from theory) and how parallel (consiste...

Studies suggest that the experience of liminality – of being in an ambiguous, ‘betwixt and between’ position – has creative potential for organizations. We contribute to theory on the link between liminality and creative agency through a study of the coordinators of ‘knowledge-sharing communities’; one of the latest examples of a ‘neo-bureaucratic’ practice that seeks to elicit innovative respo...

The paper focuses on the divergent national perspectives – Croatian and Serbian regarding reasons behind Yugoslavia's unification (the Kingdom of SHS), moreover causes its disappearance from historical scene, both as Serbs, Croats, Slovenes Socialist Federal Republic Yugoslavia. From perspective „nationally conscious“ historians, it was separatism that should be blamed for downfall Yugoslavia d...
