<italic>This study explores the influences of institutions on high technology start-up innovation in China by taking into account both formal and informal institutions. Our research settings are two high technology parks in Wuxi and Shanghai, respectively. Drawing upon the theoretical lenses of...</italic>

We study the problem of finding a global optimal solution to discrete optimization problems using a heuristic based on quantum computing methods. (Knowledge of quantum computing ideas is not necessary to read this paper.) We focus on a successful quantum computing method introduced by Baritompa,...

Complementary insights from Transaction Cost Economics (TCE) and the Resource-Based View (RBV) of the firm are combined to predict the relationship between firm specific technological knowledge and patterns of integration within organizational boundaries. The findings show that the level of...

Recent studies view the phenomenon of 'born global' firms as a contradiction to the stages theory. This paper shows that the internationalization process of 'born global' firms may be characterized by gradual increased commitment to foreign markets, albeit not necessarily according to the...

This paper examines the response to the creation of the European Union by firms located outside the European Community that seek to serve its markets. Analysis of some of the major steps taken by the European Community to complete the internal market shows that the relative competitive position...

The spatially distributed hydrologic model WetSpa working on a daily or hourly time scale combines elevation, soil and landuse data within GIS, to predict flood hydrographs and spatial distribution of hydrologic characteristics in a watershed. The model is applied to the Margecany–Hornad river...
