The paper looks at the locality question in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) theories. For a long time the locality issues in FDI seem to have been overshadowed by globalism. Locality issues, however, have been kept alive from two angles one of which includes diverse individuals who are...

This paper investigates the relationship between environmental complexity and firm organization. We ask: Given the complexity of the environment, which organizational structure and level of decision making authority optimizes performance of a firm? We assume the information processing...

The mean number (N) of metastable states in higher order short-range spin glasses is estimated analytically using a variational method introduced by Tanaka and Edwards for very large coordination numbers. For lattices with small connectivities, numerical simulations do not show any significant...

This article describes how the term fractal dimension (FD) plays a vital role in fractal geometry. It is a degree that distinguishes the complexity and the irregularity of fractals, denoting the amount of space filled up. There are many procedures to evaluate the dimension for fractal surfaces,...
