This paper extends the power theory established in western management literature to study Chinese CIOs’ position power. By conducting case study on six logistics companies, we investigate what CIO position power includes, how CIOs acquire the position power, and determining factors of CIO position power. We find Chinese CIOs typically have three kinds of legitimate position power (i.e., power o...

seistan was one of the important ancient urban centres in south eastern persia. the ruins of the city show the prosperity and fertility of this city to the extent that a british civil officer considered it as the ancient london of asia. this article attempts to describe the enormous latent wealth of this ancient city which made it important for strategic, political and commercial reasons. due t...

In an effort to tap the vast geothermal resources of the western United States, Secretary of Energy Bill Richardson and U.S. Senator Harry Reid of Nevada recently announced a DOE initiative to expand the production and use of energy generated from heat within the earth. The new initiative is known as GeoPowering the West. During a news conference on Capitol Hill, Secretary Richardson also annou...

This paper analyzes the potential market power of western states in setting coal severance taxes and the emphasis placed by these states on the development of their coal resources vs. obtaining tax revenues. Three market structures are analyzed. One involves a western regional cartel, setting taxes collectively. The other cases are noncooperative tax equilibria with Montana and Wyoming competin...

Here, approaches that allow disclosure of the information hidden inside and outside of two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DE) are described. Experimental identification methods, such as mass spectrometry of high resolution and sensitivity (MALDI-TOF MS and ESI LC-MS/MS) and immunodetection (Western and Far-Western) in combination with bioinformatics (collection of all information about prote...

This paper describes one approach to find two optimum energy storages (ESs) to build a hybrid system which is part of a virtual power plant. In this paper it means the combination of the hybrid energy storage system and wind power plant (WPP). The discussed approach is applied in a case study on the power market in western Denmark. The optimum ESs are selected based on the highest net present v...
