4 institutional presentation institutional presentation It is with great pleasure that I present the edition of the ESADE RESEARCH YEARBOOK. It contains a summary of the contribution to research made by the ESADE academic community over the past year, and includes research information, as well as details on knowledge creation and knowledge improvement in the fields of both management and law. Our commitment to intellectual contribution through education and research centres on training, not only competent, but also socially responsible professionals, on creating knowledge relevant to improving organisations and communities, and on contributing to the social debate with the object of a freer, fairer and more prosperous society. At ESADE, research is one of our most important activities. As always, the ESADE RESEARCH YEARBOOK is aimed at the academic, business and legal communities. I trust that you will find it both useful, and stimulating, and on behalf of ESADE, I would like to thank you for consulting our Yearbook. Eugenia Bieto Director General ESADE 6 7

5 DEAN presentation DEAN presentation Research and teaching are the two core activities of academic institutions. New knowledge is generated through research, instilled in the classroom through teaching, and disseminated in the public domain to improve practice. Knowledge often progresses in slow, methodical steps, yet can also leap forward unexpectedly, or even reverse course and contract. Under scrutiny, knowledge is filled with holes, cracks, gaps and fuzzy limits. Scientific boundaries are everything but well-defined, static or certain. It is in this respect that teaching and research are complementary. The most effective educators understand the limitations of their knowledge, the boundaries of their discipline, and the shortcomings of the science. They can simultaneously impart what they know with confidence, and marvel at what is unknown with poise and assurance. This ESADE Research Yearbook is testimony to the hard work of ESADE researchers that explore the frontiers of managerial and legal scholarship and practice. By contributing to the greater social good of knowledge, our research ensure ESADE s continued relevance and impact in these rapidly moving fields. I thank you for your interest in ESADE and invite you to explore the exceptional contributions presented in this Research Yearbook.

7 the organisation of research Research Groups CHAIRS CENTRES Business Network Dynamics Research Group (BuNeD) Research Group on Mediation, Arbitration, Law and Family Chair in LeadershipS and Democratic Governance ESADE Center for Global Economy and Geopolitics (ESADEgeo) The group s research focuses primarily on the study of how organisations establish, build and manage business networks with their partners and also on the dynamics involved in the development, growth and demise of such networks. The group conducts analysis at different levels (group, company and sector), from a multidisciplinary perspective: operations; supply chain; information systems; marketing; organisational theory. The members of the group use both qualitative and quantitative methods and, in particular, lay emphasis on models and methods developed for social network analysis: multidimensional scaling; cluster analysis; graphic representation techniques; multilevel, redundant analysis. There are on two major research lines inside the group: New family models and their legal implications: reconstituted or step families; marriage, adoption and homosexuality; family protocol as a necessity in light of the new family models, and the young/elderly in current society. Family mediation: An analysis of the current situation regarding family mediation in our country, potential interregional problems and the skills and competencies of family mediators. Teresa Duplá Marín, Coordinator This Chair takes up the challenge of studying and promoting innovative ways of leadership that are appropriate to our complex environments. It also studies leadership as a means of promoting progress, welfare and cohesion in contemporary society through a threefold entrepreneurial, social and political approach aimed at forging links between these three fields, in addition to analysing the respective institutional frameworks. Many ESADE faculty members participate in this Chair, together with researchers and leading figures involved in business, politics and social initiatives. Angel Castiñeira Fernández, Director The ESADEgeo Center aims to become an international benchmark in the study of economic globalisation and global governance The center produces research and practical knowledge, addressed the various social actors: governments, companies and civil society organizations. It also disseminates and creates opportunities for the application of that knowledge; aimed at institutional strengthening and developing the various actors organisational capacities. Fco. Javier Solana Madariaga, President Cristina Gimenez Thompsen, Coordinator Economics and Finance Research Group (GREF) This group promotes research in the fields of finance and economics, which cover a wide range of areas of macroeconomics, international economics, corporate finance, risk management and capital markets. GREF s main objective lies in facilitating the creation and dissemination of highlevel research at ESADE and, at the same time, increasing its visibility and relevance to the academic community in general. Its main areas of research are: market microstructure; accounting research in capital markets; corporate finance; credit risk; differences in productivity; growth and public policies; domestic and international spillovers. Research Group on Legal Guidelines and Social Change The research group is devoted to field studies on social development in an area determined by the law, exploring empirical indices to diagnose the need, improvement or utility of the law in order to optimise individual and social results. Among other group research interests there are: the critical review of the role and value of traditional institutions for the law, the analysis of the different alternatives of the law with respect to social reality, including historical law and comparative law and the study and advice on improving legal regulations and legal institutions in general. The group hosts the Observatory for Quality and Effectiveness of Laws (OCEL) to promote critical and neutral analysis of the legal system s maintenance and renewal. Future of Work Chair The FWC main objective is to translate future trends in the world of work into core research, teaching and executive education activities. Also to help organizations transform their culture to support the new trends at work via the development of tools and methodologies to affect culture transformation. The chair will collaborate towards the development of new ideas for enhancing productivity and wellbeing in the new world of work (via research, debates, Talent Laboratory Forum, and other initiatives), and aims to create a global network/ consortium with global business leaders, academics and political leaders. Simon Dolan, Director Leadership Development Research Centre (GLEAD) The mission of the centre is to create new knowledge and insight that deepens the understanding of outstanding leadership and the competencies that support it and make people engage wholeheartedly at work. The research lines are: Individual Emotional and Social Competencies, Group Emotional and Social Competencies, and Coaching and Development of Emotional and Social Competencies. Joan M. Batista-Foguet, Director Observatory on Spanish Multinational Companies (OEME) Ariadna Dumitrescu, Coordinator Knowledge Engineering Research Group (GREC) This research group includes researchers from ESADE and Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. Since its inception, the group s multidisciplinary component has enabled it to work both in basic and applied research. Its main activity focuses on research and the development of techniques in the area of artificial intelligence. The objectives of GREC s research at ESADE revolve around two axes: the development of methodologies related with artificial intelligence in unstructured environments (incomplete, imperfect and/or inaccurate); the application of these methodologies in related fields of decision making, finance and marketing. Núria Agell Jané, Coordinator Sergio Llebaría Samper, Coordinator Research Group on Tourism Management (GRUGET) This research group aims to create knowledge in the field of sustainable management for businesses and tourist destinations, and to promote exchanges between all the agents involved. The group is multidisciplinary and global in scope and, therefore, external collaborations are international. Its research areas include social marketing, innovation, quality management and management indicators. Transversely, its research is oriented towards the use of information systems, the economic impact on society and on the territory/region in question, and the use of innovative research methodologies such as qualitative reasoning. Mar Vila Fernández-Santacruz, Coordinator The Jean Monnet Chair at ESADE The Jean Monnet Chair at ESADE Law School is a project for teaching, research and social debate on European Union (EU) law and European integration. European Commission, co-funds this Chair. The Chair promotes the internationalisation of ESADE Law School by doing research on this these main lines: Reform of the economic and monetary union and design of a political union. Power distribution models between the EU and its member states. EContract law and European Integration. Also organising debates on current topics such as European contract law, European legal architecture, new norms and institutions of economic governance in the wake of the euro crisis, and the relationship between Spain s autonomous communities and the EU. José M. de Areilza Carvajal, Director The OEME studies the opportunities and challenges affecting companies in advanced stages of internationalisation. It also aims to contribute towards identifying and disseminating good practices, working closely with the companies themselves, and is presented as an open platform for the exchange of experiences and knowledge between companies and institutions that promote foreign investment projects.

8 the organisation of research INSTITUTES ESADE Brand Institute Institute for Innovation and Knowledge Management (IIK) Institute of Public Governance and Management (IGDP) The purpose of the Brand Institute works on relevant issues and facilitates decision-making processes that affect brands. Doing that, with the use of solid research and analysis tools to provide practical and effective solutions. The Institute also focuses on creating new knowledge on brands and their management, and on disseminating this knowledge among the business sector and academia. The centre s research covers two main areas: a more generalist approach to management and brand strategies, on the one hand, and thematic research into their specific application, on the other. Oriol Iglesias Bedós, Director ESADE Entrepreneurship Institute (EEI) The purpose of this institute is to understand the creation of knowledge and innovation. A crossdisciplinary team dedicated to understanding the sources, mechanisms and consequences of innovation: where it comes from; how it is diffused and adopted; and how it affects individual, social, and economic structures when in use. The main research topics include open innovation, scientific discovery and technology transfer, platform and ecosystem design, sustainable technologies and systems of use, open government and democratizing technologies, as well as a variety of trends within serious games, policy simulation, quasi-experimentation and sociotechnical ethnography.linked to IIK, Learning, Knowledge and Organization Research Group (GRACO) is doing research on knowledge creation in the areas of research and innovation management; knowledge transfer; knowledge in organisations; research into inter-organisational relationships and networks. The Institute focuses its activity on government and public sector organisations. The Institute s lines of activity include public management training, research and social debate on different areas of management, and public administration. This institute s mission is based on a marked commitment to innovation in the public sector in terms of modernising and improving public administrations. The Research Group in Leadership and Innovation in Public Management (GLIGP), linked to IGDP, conducts research in the theoretical framework of governance, based on two major themes: public, democratic leadership to enhance institutional development; and the analysis of networks, transversality, collaborations and partnerships in innovation in governance. Albert Serra Matín, Director This institute promotes relevant and rigorous research in entrepreneurship. IIE focuses on eight areas of research, which are: entrepreneurship; female entrepreneurs; corporate entrepreneurship; corporate intrapreneurship; creativity; growth and internationalisation; entrepreneurial finance; family businesses. Linked to IIE, the Research Group in Entrepreneurship (GRIE) aims to contribute to producing knowledge on entrepreneurship in the hope of promoting the creation of sustainable and innovative businesses. Luisa Alemany Gil, Director Jonathan Wareham, Director Institute of Labour Studies (IEL) This research unit focuses its activity on creating scientific and technical knowledge for work environments that facilitate the creation of added value based on individuals knowledge. IEL is working on the strategic line of how to produce a shift towards a knowledge society, using an employment model based on professional qualifications, quality of life, respect for the dignity of work and a sustainable growth environment. Institute of Forensic Evidence and Probative Law (IPDP) Carlos Obeso Abalde, Director The IPDP s aims are to analyze the theoretical and practical aspects of forensic evidence and probative law; to train professionals related with the Administration of Justice in forensic evidence and probative law; to provide informed opinion and propose criteria; to encourage research in this area. The three main research lines are the following: one dedicated to the civil proceedings; a second line on new technologies used in probative law; and, most recently, the third one involved with criminal proceedings. The IPDP publishes a quarterly magazine, Cuadernos de Probática y Derecho Probatorio. Xavier Abel Lluch, Director Institute for Social Innovation (IIS) The Institute for Social Innovation encourages and supports research aimed at promoting management skills in the third sector. Its various programmes focus on the study of three main lines: the integration of CSR into business strategy and the relationship with stakeholders; leadership and management of NGOs; social entrepreneurships.

11 Phd program PhD PROGRAM ESADE research-oriented programmes: MRes and PhD in Management Sciences MRes and PhD programmes directly involved in ESADE research ESADE Business School offers two research-oriented programmes: The Master of Research and the PhD in Management Sciences. Student who wish to read for a PhD are initially registered as MRes. The MRes is the foundational coursework for the PhD. There is a specific admission process for students who have already completed the taught part of a PhD (MRes or equivalent). These two degrees are open to graduates from various disciplines (Management, Economics, Engineering, Psychology, Sociology and other disciplines related to Management) who are highly motivated, enthusiastic about the creation of new knowledge, and interested in pursuing an international career in research. Master of Research in Management Sciences (MRes). Full-time one-year programme (60 ECTS credits). Academic objectives of the research oriented programmes: 1 To acquire a solid base in quantitative and qualitative research techniques. 2 To attain in-depth knowledge and a critical and creative overview of a specific management sciences research field. 3 To effectively and clearly communicate orally and in writing in research environments. 4 To be trained to manage research projects, groups and research-oriented institutions. ESADE is aware that the quality of a business school s PhD programme directly influences its reputation. The PhD in Management Sciences has positioned itself as one of Spain s leading doctoral programmes on management. The Spanish Ministry of Education has awarded ESADE its Towards Excellence distinction, which recognises doctoral degree courses at Spanish universities for their scientific, technical and educational excellence. The important points considered to award this distinction are: the efficiency of thesis management, the number and quality of publications derived from theses, the level of internationalisation of the research conducted including the placement of doctoral students at foreign universities and the participation of visiting lecturers. Since the academic year, ESADE has been assigning all its MRes and PhD candidates to one of its research units for their research period. This ensures that doctoral theses follow ESADE research lines, and this has a direct effect on thesis quality. Every year, each unit s research seminar includes close monitoring of the progress of all PhD and MRes candidates research projects. The following chart shows the distribution of current PhD candidates in research units and the thesis defended during the academic year Doctorate candidates participation in research groups and their collaboration in research projects have significantly increased their contribution to ESADE s scientific production. This has meant a considerable increase in the visibility of our PhD programme in terms of publication of its research results both at congresses and in international journals. PhD in Management Sciences. Full-time 3 year programme. Our PhD candidates has spent research periods in the following research institutions: University California Berkeley, USC University of South California, Georgia State University, HEC Lausanne, Case Weatherhead School of Management, Wharton- University of Pennsylvania, Carey Business School at Arizona State University and Haas Business School, Berkeley. Our PhD alumni work in top universities, business schools and research institutions around the world. Some of the recent placements have been in Copenhagen Business School (Denmark), Instituto de Empresa (Spain), University College London (UK), University of Victoria (Canada) and Vrije University (The Netherlands). This year 9 candidates have been graduated from the MRes programme and 5 PhD candidates graduated from the PhD programme. Candidates on these research programmes are noted for their international and/or multicultural profiles, as can be seen in the following chart: Breakdown of MRes and PhD candidates graduated within academic year ( ) 5 To be equipped to take on intellectually demanding positions in the main academic and research institutions in industry, consultancy and public services. 15 % Latin America 7 % 7 % 7 % 7 % USA 21 % Europe Spain Italy Germany 7 % Africa 50 % Asia PUBLICATION / YEAR Thesis defended 1 st year 2 nd year 3 rd year +3 rd year BuNeD ESADEGEO 2 GLEAD GREC 1 1 GRECOMAR GREF 1 2 FWC IGDP 1 1 IIE IIK IIS OEME Breakdown of current PhD candidates by research unit and defended theses within academic year 20 21

Academy of Management Journal (2013 IF=4.974; Q1 Bus.; Q1 Manag.; BW20; FT45) Academy of Management (AOM) Vol. 57, no. 1, 02/2014, p This paper investigates stock market responses to the different constellations of firm-level corporate governance mechanisms by focusing on foreign IPOs in the U.S. We build on sociology-grounded research on financial market behavior and suggest a nested legitimacy framework to explore U.S. investor perceptions of foreign IPO value. Using a fuzzy-set theoretic methodology, we demonstrate how different combinations of monitoring and incentive-based corporate governance mechanisms lead to the same level of investor valuations of firms. Moreover, institutional factors related to the minority shareholder protection strength in the foreign IPO s home country represent a boundary condition that affects the number of governance mechanisms required to achieve U.S. investors high value perceptions. Our findings contribute to the sociological perspective on comparative corporate governance and the inter-dependencies between organizations and institutions. Almirall Mezquita, Esteve Lee, Melissa Jo Majchrzak, Ann Open innovation requires integrated competition - community ecosystems: Lessons learned from civic open innovation Business Horizons (2013 IF=1.284; Q3 Bus.) Elsevier Vol. 57, no. 3, 05/2014, p Open innovation has received substantial business attention as a means of providing firms in hyper-competitive environments with the ability to create a stream of new products and services. For open in- 24 JOURNAL articles Articles in journals with impact factor novation, organizing external sources correctly is a critical capability; current literature suggests that external sources should be organized either as collaborative communities or as competitive markets. While firms have generally been slow to adopt open innovation, many cities in the U.S. and Europe have been quick to embrace it-providing needed field-based experience on how to organize external sources. Based on our examination of six cities opening their data for innovation, we found that while cities often started with one or the other approach to organizing their external sources, each approach was inadequate in ways that could potentially be addressed by the addition of the other approach. Thus, we conclude with an integrated approach in which the needs of the entire ecosystem of sources and supporters of innovation are organized to address both competitive and community needs. Almirall Mezquita, Esteve Public open sensor data: Revolutionizing smart cities Domingo, A.; Bellalta, B.; Palacín, M.; Oliver, M.; Almirall, E. IEEE Technology and Society Magazine (2013 IF=0.490; Q4 Eng, Electr & Electron.) IEEE Society on Social Implications on Technology Vol. 32, no. 4, 12/2013, p Local governments have decided to take advantage of the presence of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) in their cities to efficiently manage several applications in their daily responsibilities. The enormous amount of information collected by sensor devices allows the automation of several realtime services to improve city management by using intelligent trafficlight patterns during rush hour, reducing water consumption in parks, or efficiently routing garbage collection trucks throughout the city [1]. The sensor information required by these examples is mostly self-consumed by city-designed applications and managers. Alsina, Victoria Gascó, Mila Policing opportunities and threats in Europe van den Born, A.; van Witteloostuijn, A.; Barlage, M.; Alsina, V.; Gascó, M.; et,al. Journal of Organizational Change Management (2013 IF=0.744; Q3 Manag.) Emerald Vol. 26, no. 5, 09/2013, p This paper aims to take stock and to increase understanding of the opportunities and threats for policing in ten European countries in the Political, Economic, Social, Technological and Legal (PESTL) environment. This study is part of the large EU-funded COMPOSITE project into organisational change. A PESTL analysis was executed to produce the environmental scan that will serve as a platform for further research into change management within the police. The findings are based on structured interviews with police officers of 17 different police forces and knowledgeable externals in ten European countries. The sampling strategy was optimized for representativeness under the binding capacity constraints defined by the COMPOSITE research budget. European police forces face a long list of environmental changes that can be grouped in the five PESTL clusters with a common denominator. There is also quite some overlap as to both the importance and nature of the key PESTL trends across the ten countries, suggesting convergence in Europe. A study of this magnitude has not been seen before in Europe, which brings new insights to the target population of police forces across Europe. Moreover, policing is an interesting field to study from the perspective of organisational change, featuring a high incidence of change in combination with a wide variety of change challenges, such as those related to identity and leadership.

Batista Foguet, Joan M. Flow dimensions on daily activities with the Spanish version of the Flow Scale (DFS) Rufi, S.; Javaloy, F.; Batista Foguet, J.M.; Solanas, A.; Páez, D. The Spanish Journal of Psychology (2013 IF=0.706; Q3 Psychol., Multidiscip.) Cambridge University Press Vol. 17, no. 1, 01/2014, p A sample of 250 students of psychology with an average age of years, answered the Flow Q questionnaire indicating their favorite flow activity, and the Spanish version of the Dispositional Flow Scale (DFS). A confirmatory factor analysis assessed the DFS construct validity of the flow model on daily activities. Both a hierarchical model of eight first order factors reflecting a second order global flow factor, and a model with eight formative first order flow dimensions, showed good fit and discriminant power. Most optimal activities were found to be individual and structured, such as studying, reading and certain forms of individual sports. Leisure activities turned out to be more rewarding than studying. Sports displayed more flow, clear goals, merging of action and awareness, and autotelic experience. Reading also showed more flow, balance of challenge and skills, feedback, merging of action and awareness, and loss of self-consciousness. On the other hand, studying displayed less flow, merging of action and awareness, and autotelic experience. 25

Sage Vol. 53, no. 2, 03/2014, p Political theories in general and deliberative democracy in particular have become quite popular in business ethics over the past few years. However, the model of deliberative democracy as generally referred to in business ethics is only appropriate for conceptualizing interaction between business and society that occurs within a context that is more or less institutionalized. It cannot account for unregulated interaction between business and civil society. We argue that we need to resort to the so called critical strand of deliberative democracy if we want to conceptualize interaction that happens without the involvement of decision-making institutions as political action in a deliberative sense. By adopting this approach we argue that deliberative principles are meaningful for judging unregulated interaction between business and civil society and that there are cases in which unregulated interaction is preferable over institutionalization. Bell, Roger Can business schools make students culturally competent? Effects of Cross-Cultural Management courses on cultural intelligence Eisenberg, J.; Lee, H.J.; Brueck, F.; Brenner, B.; Claes, M.T.; Bell, R.; et. al. Academy of Management Learning & Education (2013 IF=2.121; Q1 Educ. & Educ. Res.; Q1 Manag.) Academy of Management (AOM) Vol. 12, no. 4, 12/2013, p The rapid increase in courses dealing with cross-cultural management (CCM), brought about by economies globalization and increased workforce mobility motivated us to examine the impact of cross-cultural management courses on cultural intelligence. Cultural intelligence (CQ) refers to individual s abilities and skills to effectively manage interactions in cross-cultural situations. It includes four dimensions: metacognitive, cognitive, motivational and behavioral. In two multinational longitudinal studies using matched samples and pre-postintervention measures, we assessed the effects of academic CCM courses on students CQ. We found that after the courses, students overall CQ was significantly higher than at Time 1. No effects on CQ were detected in the control group, where students worked in multicultural settings but did not take a CCM course. Cross-cultural management courses 26 had stronger effects on metacognitive and cognitive CQ than on motivational and behavioral CQ. We found an interesting pattern regarding students international experience: While international experience in Time 1 positively related to students CQ, at Time 2, this relationship became nonsignificant (Study 1). These findings contribute to understanding the antecedents of cultural intelligence and how educational interventions affect it, with practical implications for designing and developing international management education and training programs. Bertini, Marco Price promotion for emotional impact Aydinli, A.; Bertini, A.; Lambercht, A. Journal of Marketing (2013 IF=3.819; Q1 Bus.; BW20; FT45) Amrican Marketing Association (AMA) Vol. 78, no. 4, 07/2014, p Managers and academics often think of price promotions merely as incentives that entice consumers to accept offers they might not have considered otherwise. Yet the prospect of paying a lower price for a product of given quality can also discourage deliberation, in a sense dumbing down the purchase encounter by making it less consequential. The authors examine this possibility in a dual-system theory of consumer behavior. Specifically, they argue that price promotion lowers a consumer s motivation to exert mental effort, in which case purchase decisions are guided less by extensive information processing and more by a quicker, easier, strong conditioner of preference: affect.

MIT Sloan Management Review (2013 IF=1.803; Q2 Bus.; Q2 Manag.; FT45) MIT Sloan School of Management Vol. 55, no. 4, 06/2014, p This article is directed at managers who seek to profit from differentiation. If you sense that your company is leaving good money on the table and struggling to convert product differentiation into revenue and profits, then you should consider enlisting the help of unlikely partners: your customers. To be sure, the thought of working with customers on a critical business activity such as pricing can be unnerving for managers. However, in the same spirit that companies today are recruiting customers to improve product design and marketing communications, managers need to recognize that it s those who purchase a company s products or services who ultimately determine what they are worth. While customers need not have sole discretion over these activities, they can certainly provide important input. It s critical to recognize that outsourcing pricing to customers isn t an all-or-nothing proposition: Managers can select pricing models ranging from complete oversight to complete delegation. The trick is to choose an approach that is suited to the characteristics of the market you re in and that limits the costs, real and potential, that may arise. Bonache Pérez, Jaime Alfonso Exploring expatriate outcomes Brewster, C.; Bonache Pérez, J.; Cerdin, J.L.; Suutari, V. International Journal of Human Resource Management (2013 IF=0.928; Q3 Manag.) Taylor & Francis Vol. 25, no. 14, 08/2014, p This editorial article introduces this special issue of the International Journal of Human Resource Management devoted to the outcomes of expatriate assignments. We set the topic in context. We start by summarizing the traditional view on expatriate outcomes. We then argue that recent developments in the field suggest the need to build a more sophisticated and complex analysis on the topic that incorporates different perspectives (e.g. the organization, the expatriate, their co-workers and their families) and additional types of international experiences and organizations. We then present some difficulties in developing such an analysis. Specifically, using a new typology of complementary relationships among outcomes (i.e. temporal, Institute for Social Innovation Research Proposal: Perceptions and Atributions: Complex Foundations of Emmployee Reactions to CSR Amer Awan, PhD Candidate Pep Mària, Supervisor among-group and among-outcome consistencies), we point out some complications to achieve those relationships. We conclude by introducing the papers in the special edition that all in some way aim to contribute to our understanding of expatriate outcomes. Bonache Pérez, Jaime Alfonso Noethen, Daniela The impact of individual performance on organizational success and its implications for the management of expatriates International Journal of Human Resource Management (2013 IF=0.928; Q3 Manag.) Taylor & Francis Vol. 25, no. 14, 01/2014, p In this paper, we present a new but simple typology of international assignments that can help guide the management of expatriates. Applying a well-known job typology by Jacobs, D. (1981, Toward a Theory of Mobility and Behavior in Organizations: An Inquiry into the Consequences of Some Relationships Between Individual Performance and Organizational Success, American Journal of Sociology, 87, ) and Baron, J.N., and Kreps, D.M. (1999, Strategic Human Resources: Frameworks for General Managers, New York: Wiley) to the international arena, we distinguish between star and guardian assignments. The essence of this distinction lies in a difference regarding a crucial relationship: the link between expatriate performance and organizational success. Drawing on two well-known case studies, we analyze the essential characteristics of and differences between star and guardian assignments, and deduct concrete consequences for the employment of specific human resource management policies along the expatriate cycle. The paper concludes with a discussion of theoretical and practical implications. 27

We therefore predict that a greater number of status-heterophilous ties will be formed in an up market than in a down market. We discuss the implications of our results for status theory and more broadly for research on strategic decision making under uncertainty.

Revista Mexicana de Psicología (2013 IF=0.436; Q4 Psychol. Multidiscip.) Sociedad Mexicana de Psicología Vol. 31, no. 1, 01/2014, p The aim of this study is to examine the influence of the task routineness on team learning and team performance in nursing teams, also the mediating role of team learning on the relationship between task routineness and team performance. A cross-sectional and quantitative design was employed. Sample comprises 1,110 healthcare professionals working in 229 nursing teams at different public hospitals throughout Spain. Members of nursing teams participated voluntarily by completing a confidential individual questionnaire. The results show a mediating effect of team learning on the relationship between task routineness and team performance. The findings suggest the importance of considering the type of task performed by nursing teams as a key factor for team learning processes and team performance. 34 Murphy, Matthew Vives, Jordi Perceptions of justice and human right protect, respect, and remedy framework Journal of Business Ethics (2013 IF=1.552; Q2 Bus. Q1 Eth.; BW20; FT45) Springer Vol. 116, no. 4, 09/2013, p Human rights declarations are instruments used to introduce universal standards of ethics. The UN s Protect, Respect, and Remedy Framework (Ruggie, Protect, respect, and remedy: A Framework for business and human rights. UN Doc A/HRC/8/5, 2008; Guiding principles on business and human rights: Implementing the United Nations Protect, Respect, and Remedy framework. UN Doc A/ HRC/17/31, 2011) intends to provide guidance for corporate behavior in regard to human rights. This article applies concepts from the field of organizational justice to the arena of business and human rights for the purpose of operationalizing the UN Framework. This approach facilitates the recognition of gaps between perceptions of justice held by stakeholders versus businesses and/or the State. Such recognition raises the potential for addressing issues that lead to divergent perceptions of justice, thus potentially improving the human rights performance of businesses. The research also shows the potential for complicity of businesses in human rights abuses and exposes a fundamental weakness in the UN Framework, which attempts to draw a sharp distinction between duties of States versus responsibilities of business. We illustrate this approach through analysis of the case of Goldcorp s Marlin Mine in Guatemala; an extractive industry project that affects indigenous communities.

Journal of Business Ethics (2013 IF=1.552; Q1 Eth.; Q2 Bus.; BW20; FT45) Springer Vol. 122, no. 2, 06/2014, p The article discusses the role of the UN Global Compact (UNGC) in the emerging global corporate social responsibility infrastructure. It evaluates the debate around the effectiveness and legitimacy of the UNGC alongside the arguments of its supporters and critics and thereby introduces the Thematic Symposium contributions. The article further identifies three theoretical perspectives that are used by scholars to discuss the performance of the UNGC: economic, socio-historical, and normative. It proposes that these perspectives can serve as generic distinctions with direct relevance for the evaluation of the UNGC. Once the perspective is chosen, it drives towards a certain purpose which implies assumptions and design features with regard to the UNGC. Finally, the article offers a future research agenda, emphasising the research needed on the UNGC in four areas: the identification of processes and influence mechanisms; legitimacy and effectiveness; local networks and regional development; and the interface of the UNGC and responsible leadership.

Q1 Math, Appl. Q1 Stat & Probab.) Elsevier Vol. 236, no. 1, 02/2014, p We formally construct the extended set of qualitative labels L over a well-ordered set. The qualitative descriptions of a given set are defined as L-fuzzy sets. In the case where the well-ordered set is finite, a distance between L-fuzzy sets is introduced based on the properties of the lattice L. The concept of the information contained in a qualitative label is introduced, leading to a formal definition of the entropy of an L-fuzzy set as a Lebesgue integral. In the discrete case, this integral becomes a weighted average of the information of the labels, corresponding to the Shannon entropy in information theory.

Ragozzino, R.; Moschieri, C. Academy of Management Perspective (2013 IF=2.826; Q1 Bus.; Q1 Manag.; FT45) Academy of Management (AOM) Vol. 28, no. 1, 02/2014, p Theory has often discussed the benefits of adopting a staged investment strategy in mergers and acquisitions when investments hold uncertain prospects. Specifically, firms should enter into a cooperative agreement, such as a strategic alliance, before they eventually decide to buy out a partner. In this paper, we first review the theoretical arguments supporting such an approach and then provide evidence showing that staged investments in mergers and acquisitions are far less frequent than theory predicts. We analyze a sample of 24,495 global transactions that occurred between 1995 and 2010 and find that firms stage mergers and acquisitions in only 1.26% of all deals. This figure changes little after we control for transaction- and environmental-level considerations. We propose several explanations of why staged investments are seldom used in practice, despite their theoretical properties. 35
