The asymptotic behaviour of self-avoiding walks that do not lie on a lattice has been investigated by a Monte-Carlo procedure. Its dependence on the fine structure of the walk is discussed.

In dit artikel bestuderen we het verloop van de loopbanen van globale managers. Tot op heden werd er weinig empirisch onderzoek uitgevoerd naar globale managers en hun loopbaanpaden. Vanuit de persoonlijke visie van globale managers tracht dit artikel een empirische bijdrage te leveren aan dit...

Although firms increasingly rely on interfirm collaboration to explore new technological opportunities, few studies have examined the ways in which this collaboration form is governed. In this paper, we attempt to increase our understanding of governing explorative R&D alliances. First, we argue...

Based on a case study of three asymmetric new venture development (ANVD) alliances, we examine the governance of transitions from exploration to exploitation. We propose that role deficiencies, technological asymmetry, and the presence of a separate venture unit at established firms constitute...

In this study, we examine the initiation and evolution of interfirm learning in interfirm Ramp;D relationships. Based on in-depth case studies, we suggest that the process of learning in interfirm Ramp;D relationships consists of different challenges: 1) initiating technological knowledge...

This study analyses how minority employees engage with control in organizations. Differently from most critical studies of diversity management, which focus on how minority employees are discursively controlled, we approach (diversity) management as a constellation of both identity-regulating...
