Abstract:

Previous research has generated a substantial body of knowledge regarding the exploration and exploitation of opportunities, two of the main manifest activities of entrepreneurship. This thesis does not primarily examine any of these activities; instead it investigates an important question regarding what happens between them. It seeks to answer why some of the identified opportunities are selected for exploitation. It does so by building on, and contributing to, a research stream that struggles with the link between the entrepreneurial activity of firms and theory about strategy. One of the m

The second purpose is to verify that their model is applicable to organizations that are substantially smaller than the original 54 Fortune 1000 companies that were studied. The researcher used a qualitative research methodology to answer the following research questions. 1.

<p> In the world of science and technology, the insertion and application of emotions into leadership in highly intelligent analytical technology leaders who are seen as lacking in social and interpersonal relationship skills is deemed to be desirable.

Abstract:

The notion of Canada as a cultural mosaic is especially vivid when comparing life in Nunavut to that of the rest of the country. Not only is the predominant Inuit culture unique in many ways, but so too are the geographical characteristics that make Nunavut and the Canadian North so different from many other regions in the country. To gain a better understanding of entrepreneurship in Nunavut, the research explores how entrepreneurs build and use their social networks and the role of brokerage and closure in the entrepreneurial process.

Abstract:

<p> Studies have revealed that bilingual individuals opt their native language as the first choice for consultation with health professionals. Moreover, a concordant cooperation between patient and pharmacist is significantly impaired where one party is applying a language with which both sides are not comfortable or confident. Accordingly, a multilingual pharmacy has the potential to remove language barriers for non-compliance among customers who need pharmacy services. On the other hand, in today’s competitive market, a pharmacy may guarantee its survival, and also high revenue, if it

Abstract:

The occupation of management consultancy has expanded during the last decades. Although researchers disagree on the actual functions of the profession, the commodification of knowledge into what is known as management concepts reoccur frequently. However, scholars have failed to come to a consensus on whether consultants act as producers or merely intermediaries of these concepts. A study has been conducted, constituted by the review of secondary material made public by the two major management consulting firms; McKinsey and Bain. This study has shown several commonalities and discrepancies wh

Abstract:

In these essays, I explore the relation between shareholder activism and corporate governance, mainly the board of directors and takeover defense measures. In the first essay, “Takeover defenses in the era of shareholder activism,” I examine whether or not takeover defense measures that were originally developed to protect the management have differential effects on the probability of shareholder activism. I also examine what are the types of demands activists make when there are defense measures in place and look at the outcomes following activist campaigns. I find that firms with a stagger
