TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that buyer power advantage makes the buyer reluctant to collaborate with the supplier in the long run and identify three types of relationship bonding tactics initiated by the supplier firm: customization, information sharing, and managerial ties to the buyer firm.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore how public institutions can leverage the resource dependency theory framework for strategy formulation and increased resource capacity in an effort to address the challenges associated with reduced revenue and rising costs.
Abstract: Declining state revenue, increased expenditures and rising costs at public universities are critical issues that are further heightened by the current economic environment. In an effort to address the challenges associated with reduced revenue and rising costs, this theoretical paper will explore how public institutions can leverage the resource dependency theory framework for strategy formulation and increased resource capacity. The organization of the paper begins with an introduction that sets forth the topic parameters and rationale of the paper. This is followed by a literature review that provides an overview of pertinent fiscal issues and strategies that were designed to mitigate these issues in public higher education. The authors then introduce the resource dependency theory and its linkage to public higher education based upon an understanding of the institution’s interdependence with the external environment. Based upon the resource dependency theory, the authors discuss strategies that can gar...

TL;DR: In this article, the authors put forward the proposition that distinguishability is a resource that can be quantified and interconverted by means of basic units, and showed that relative entropy and its variants find fundamental operational meaning as the ultimate rates at which distinguishability can be distilled or diluted from quantum states.
Abstract: This paper puts forward the proposition that distinguishability is a resource that can be quantified and interconverted by means of basic units. The authors also show that relative entropy and its variants find fundamental operational meaning as the ultimate rates at which distinguishability can be distilled or diluted from quantum states. resource-theoretic framework.

TL;DR: In this paper, a self-contained introduction to the resource theory approach to quantum thermodynamics is given, along with the technical machinery necessary to unpack and prove the core statements of the theory.
Abstract: I give a self-contained introduction to the resource theory approach to quantum thermodynamics. I will introduce in an elementary manner the technical machinery necessary to unpack and prove the core statements of the theory. The topics covered include the so-called `many second laws of thermodynamics', thermo-majorisation and symmetry constraints on the evolution of quantum coherence. Among the elementary applications, I explicitly work out the bounds on deterministic work extraction and formation, discuss the complete solution of the theory for a single qubit and present the irreversibility of coherence transfers. The aim is to facilitate the task of those researchers interested in engaging and contributing to this topic, presenting scope and motivation of its core assumptions and discussing the relation between the resource theory and complementary approaches.

TL;DR: In this article, a model that examines how outside board members influence the antecedents, and moderate the processes that lead to escalation of commitment is presented. But the authors do not consider the role of external board members in private family businesses.
