TL;DR: The results show that strategic orientation moderates the relationship between different elements of the strategy formation capability and performance.
Abstract: An effective strategy formation capability is a complex organizational resource—a dynamic capability that should lead to superior performance. Strategy scholars have examined the strategy formation capability from many perspectives. However, no study has examined a comprehensive model of strategy formation in the context of the firm's strategic orientation. We develop and examine such a model. The results show that strategic orientation moderates the relationship between different elements of the strategy formation capability and performance. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

TL;DR: The authors survey the existing literature regarding gender differences in investment and consider the policy implications of these differences and provide a summary and organization of the explanations for gender differences that have been offered in a variety of fields, including economics, sociology, education and gender studies.
Abstract: Several recent studies have found that women invest their pensions more conservatively than men (Bajtelsmit and VanDerhei, 1996; Hinz, McCarthy, and Turner, 1996) and that women are more risk averse (Jianakoplos and Bernasek, 1996). Although these findings have serious implications for the well-being of women in retirement, the reasons for observed gender differences are less well- defined. This paper surveys the existing literature regarding gender differences in investment and considers the policy implications of these differences. The authors provide a summary and organization of the explanations for gender differences that have been offered in a variety of fields, including economics, sociology, education and gender studies.

TL;DR: In this paper, sufficient and sufficient conditions for weak convergence of the maxima are given for extremal processes generated by multivariate DF's and conditions for the limit joint DF to be a product of marginal DF's.
Abstract: Let $$\{ (X_n^{(1)} ),...,X_n^{(k)} ,{\text{ }}n\} \underset{\raise0.3em\hbox{$\smash{\scriptscriptstyle-}$}}{ \geqslant } 1\} $$ be k-dimensional iid random vectors. Necessary and sufficient conditions are found for the weak convergence of the maxima $$\left\{ {\mathop {\text{V}}\limits_{j{\text{ = 1}}}^n X_j^{(1)} ,...,\mathop {\text{V}}\limits_{j{\text{ = 1}}}^n X_j^{(k)} } \right\}$$ suitably normed to a non-degenerate limit df. The class of such limits is specified and conditions stated for the limit joint df to be a product of marginal df's. Some results are presented concerning extremal processes generated by multivariate df's.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated plant responses to herbivory and links to belowground nitrogen cycling at Wind Cave National Park, South Dakota and found that carbon allocation to roots is a key link determining nitrogen- cycling responses to weeds.
Abstract: Plant responses to herbivory and links to belowground nitrogen cycling were investigated at Wind Cave National Park, South Dakota. Laboratory estimates of net nitrogen mineralization were highest in soils from the more altered areas of prairie dog colonies (Cynomys ludovicianus) and lowest in the adjacent, lightly grazed, uncolonized grassland. The ratio of CO2: net nitrogen mineralized, an index of immobilization, was highest in the uncolonized grassland and lowest in the altered core areas. Soil moisture was an important modifier of in situ field estimates of net nitrogen mineralization. Root biomass, an important carbon source for decomposers in perennial grasslands, was lowest in the altered core area and highest in the adjacent uncolonized grassland. Decreased nitrogen immobilization and increased net nitrogen mineralization in the laboratory in- cubations likely resulted from decreased root carbon inputs in grazed areas, which limited carbon availability to decomposers. Such increases in plant-available nitrogen may partially explain the frequently reported grazing-induced increases in shoot nitrogen concentrations. These studies suggest that carbon allocation to roots is a key link determining nitrogen- cycling responses to herbivory.

TL;DR: This review reveals that in temperate and tropical regions around the world, at least 139 exotic plant species are known to have invaded deeply shaded forest understories that have not undergone substantial disturbance, and that anthropogenic processes can be expected to accelerate the rate of invasion.
Abstract: Invasion ecology has traditionally focused on exotic plant species with early successional life-history traits, adapted to colonize areas following disturbance. However, the ecological importance of these traits may be overstated, in part because most invasive plants originate from intentional introductions. Furthermore, this focus neglects the types of plants most likely to invade established communities, particularly forests – namely shade-tolerant, late-successional species. In invasion ecology, it is generally assumed that undisturbed forests are highly resistant to plant invasions. Our review reveals that this assumption is not justified: in temperate and tropical regions around the world, at least 139 exotic plant species are known to have invaded deeply shaded forest understories that have not undergone substantial disturbance. These exotics present a particular management challenge, as they often increase in abundance during succession. While forest invasions may develop comparatively slowly under natural disturbance regimes, anthropogenic processes, including the spread of exotic pests and pathogens, can be expected to accelerate the rate of invasion.
