kambeiz talebi, the author of the article discusses the urgent needfor topmanagers to change their style in small entrepreneurial firms during a business life cycle. although most leadership theories assume that it is an easy task, but the case studies and practical experience suggest the opposite - managers find it hard to move from an innovative style when the company is young to taskoriente...

Aggregate Shocks or Aggregate Information? Costly Information and Business Cycle Comovement When similar patterns of expansion and contraction are observed across sectors, we call this a business cycle. Yet explaining the similarity and synchronization of these cycles across industries remains a puzzle. Whereas output growth across industries is highly correlated, identifiable shocks, like shoc...

We examine business cycle synchronizations between the euro area and the new and candidate countries of the EU. We utilize a bivariate VAR-GARCH specification with a smoothly time-varying correlation that allows for structural changes in the degree of co-movement between the cyclical components of monthly industrial production. After the application of a Lagrange Multiplier statistic that tests...

Automated process discovery methods aim at extracting business process models from execution logs of information systems. Existing methods in this space are designed to discover synchronization conditions over a set of events that is fixed in number, such as for example discovering that a task should wait for two other tasks to complete. However, they fail to discover synchronization conditions...

Control-flow analysis of business process models requires to check the absence of lack of synchronization. We use workflow graphs, which may contain inclusive OR gateways, to represent the control-flow of business process models. We structurally characterize lack of synchronization in an acyclic workflow graph. Based on this characterization, we show how to detect lack of synchronization in qua...

Understanding the link between fragmentation of international production (FIP) and business cycle synchronization (BCS) is crucial because it affects world economic stability hence hampers sustainability in trade, production, supply chain. Following that, this paper investigates effects an on amongst 38 countries (29 OECD nine non-OECD countries) for two different periods; pre-crisis (2003–2007...
