Using Multivariate Statistics

How has Japan become a major economic power, a world leader in the automotive and electronics industries? What is the secret of their success? The consensus has been that, though the Japanese are not particularly innovative, they are exceptionally skilful at imitation, at improving products that already exist. But now two leading Japanese business experts, Ikujiro Nonaka and Hiro Takeuchi, turn this conventional wisdom on its head: Japanese firms are successful, they contend, precisely because they are innovative, because they create new knowledge and use it to produce successful products and technologies. Examining case studies drawn from such firms as Honda, Canon, Matsushita, NEC, 3M, GE, and the U.S. Marines, this book reveals how Japanese companies translate tacit to explicit knowledge and use it to produce new processes, products, and services.

The knowledge-creating company : how Japanese companies create the dynamics of innovation

The 2008 crash has left all the established economic doctrines - equilibrium models, real business cycles, disequilibria models - in disarray. Part of the problem is due to Smith’s "veil of ignorance": individuals unknowingly pursue society’s interest and, as a result, have no clue as to the macroeconomic effects of their actions: witness the Keynes and Leontief multipliers, the concept of value added, fiat money, Engel’s law and technical progress, to name but a few of the macrofoundations of microeconomics. A good viewpoint to take bearings anew lies in comparing the post-Great Depression institutions with those emerging from Thatcher and Reagan’s economic policies: deregulation, exogenous vs. endoge- nous money, shadow banking vs. Volcker’s Rule. Very simply, the banks, whose lending determined deposits after Roosevelt, and were a public service became private enterprises whose deposits determine lending. These underlay the great moderation preceding 2006, and the subsequent crash.

\nPurpose\nFrom an absorptive capacity perspective, this study aims to analyse the influence of strategic alliances on the development of intellectual capital.\n\n\nDesign/methodology/approach\nA quantitative study was chosen, with data on technology-based small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Portugal, leading to 257 valid answers.\n\n\nFindings\nThe results obtained from a structural equation model show that learning/knowledge and efficiency as important functions underlying strategic alliances exert a strong influence on intellectual (human, structural and relational) capital.\n\n\nPractical implications\nThese outcomes reveal that strategic alliances are a way for SMEs to overcome resource constraints in terms of intellectual capital, which represents an important implication for business practice. This study provides particular insights into how and to what extent alliance-specific mechanisms and functions lead to which improvement and effect.\n\n\nOriginality/value\nThe study underlines the importance of strategic alliances for technology-based SMEs. In this way, this study adds to the scarce in the field providing evidence for the SMEs sector. Therefore, strategic alliances and intellectual capital should be considered two key tools for this firm segment and worthy of further research in absorptive capacity.\n

Strategic alliances and development of intellectual capital: a study of technology-based SMEs

The general aim of this study is to assess the relationships between external and internal auditors concerning cooperation and trust as resources integrated in organizations' lines of defense, to favor solid, opportune, and transparent decision‐making in organs of governance. More precisely, the specific aims are: (1) to analyze the relationship between trust and cooperation; (2) to explore and analyze the categories of the mutually important factors for trust and cooperation; and (3) to analyze the differences between internal and external auditors. To achieve these goals, quantitative and exploratory research was undertaken, with data collection through surveys directed to the two auditor groups (internal and external) in Portugal. In order to analyze if there were relations between trust and cooperation, logistic regression was performed. Based on exploratory factor analysis of principal components, it was possible to extract three factors for cooperation and trust: (1) work performance, (2) coordination/collaboration, and (3) competence. A multiple linear regression was also used to check the differences between internal and external auditors for the three factors identified. From the two groups involved in this study, it was possible to gain each group's perception of the professional relationship concerning cooperation and trust as determinant variables in auditing. It was found that there is still a long way to go and that each group has slightly different perceptions. This study contributes to the scientific and professional community regarding the perception of cooperation and trust between these professionals.

Deciding factors in cooperation and trust between internal and external auditors in organizations: An exploratory analysis

The value of cooperation is recognised as an integral part of small technology-based firms? (STBFs) success; however, there is a lack of research regarding the importance of network embeddedness for these firms. The objective of this study is to overcome this void by applying the systemic evolution model (Yli-Renko and Autio, 1998). Therefore, we performed multiple exploratory case studies in three Portuguese STBFs. We found that the firms have achieved different levels of embeddedness, which is linked with their growth level. As an important driver for network embeddedness, we found the existence of patents. We deduct that the STBFs? future as disseminators of technology will continue to depend on cooperation networks.

Network embeddedness: a qualitative study of small technology-based firms

Purpose – This study aims to identify the reasons for entering into alliances, as well as the main factors that influence these relationships in the hospitality industry. Design/methodology/approach – A multiple case study approach, with four hotels in Portugal as its subject, has been used for evaluation of hospitality alliances. As data-collecting instruments, interviews and documentary analysis were used. Findings – The paper found that two main factorsz emerged (structural and process factors) as influencing the formation and development of alliances in the field of hospitality. The empirical evidence also provides insight into the sources of advantage that alliances can address in hospitality firms' challenges. Practical implications – Based on the principal results, this investigation also suggests some guidelines to bear in mind when creating and maintaining an alliance in the hospitality sector. This study shows that regional tourism development is normally expressed in economic terms, as the valu...
