This paper develops a conceptual model to explain the logic of deliberately promoting structural inertia during change. Combining inertia, change, and cognitive theories it responds to criticism of Hannan and Freeman’s (1984) structural inertia theory by focusing on internal influences on organizational structure. This logic demonstrates that organizational members develop and validate beliefs ...

We study a framework where two duopolists compete repeatedly in prices and where chosen prices potentially affect future market shares, but certainly do not affect current sales. This assumption of consumer inertia causes (noncooperative) coordination on high prices only to be possible as an equilibrium for low values of the discount factor. In particular, high discount factors increase opportu...

‎In our paper [A‎. ‎B‎. ‎M‎. ‎Basheer and J‎. ‎Moori‎, ‎On a group of the form $2^{10}{:}(U_{5}(2){:}2)$] we calculated the inertia factors‎, ‎Fischer matrices and the ordinary character table of the split‎ ‎extension $ 2^{10}{:}(U_{5}(2){:}2)$ by means of Clifford-Fischer‎ ‎Theory‎. ‎The second inertia factor group of $2^{10}{:}(U_{5}(2){:}2)$‎ ‎is a group of the form $2_{-}^{1+6}{:}((3^{1+2}{...

Experimental examination of the gyroscopic and rotary inertia effects on the chatter boundary in a milling operation is the chief aim of this article. The equations of motion of the tool vibration are derived based on Timoshenko beam theory and Hamilton principle by considering gyroscopic moment, rotary inertia, velocity-dependent process damping and radial immersion effect. For a range of dept...

OBJECTIVES We investigated whether a lack of inertia force of late systolic aortic flow and/or apical asynergy provoke early diastolic dysfunction in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). BACKGROUND Left ventricular (LV) isolated diastolic dysfunction is a well-recognized cause of heart failure. METHODS We evaluated LV apical wall motion and obtained left ventricular ejection fractio...

Limited research has been done on exoskeletons to enable faster movements of the lower extremities. An exoskeleton’s mechanism can actually hinder agility by adding weight, inertia and friction to the legs; compensating inertia through control is particularly difficult due to instability issues. The added inertia will reduce the natural frequency of the legs, probably leading to lower step freq...

BACKGROUND Many patients with diabetes do not achieve target values. One of the reasons for this is clinical inertia. The correct explanation of clinical inertia requires a conjunction of patient with physician and health care system factors. Our aim was to determine the rate of clinical inertia in treating diabetes in primary care and association of patient, physician, and health care setting ...
