Abstract:

The main theme of this study is to analyze the Soviet economic theoretical debate in the period 1985 – 1991. This period of reconstruction gave possibilities of a more free debate. In the period up to 1989/90 the directive from the Central Committee of the Communist Party was to defend the socialist economic system and its supremacy over market economics. However, certain market economic ideas were deemed as functioning methods also in a planned economic system. One of the conclusions in this thesis is that the Soviet economists failed to solve some central theoretical problems in the Soviet e

Abstract:

Strategic interaction has traditionally been modelled in economics with game theoretic equilibrium models. In these models, strategies constitute best responses to beliefs that are consistent with other players' strategies. While this consistency is realistic in settings familiar to the players, it is less appropriate in situations that are encountered for the first time. This shortcoming has led to the conception of models of bounded rationality, in particular the level-k model of levels of reasoning. While experimental studies usually employ only action data to test the level-k model, in thi

Abstract:

Design thinking has gained a lot of importance and visibility in the last decades. Its increasing importance is due to the variety of applications that it has and the variety of fields in which it can be applied. Design thinking is an approach for creative problem-solving and for the opening up of paths that had been previously unexplored. It is defined as a ‘systematic and collaborative approach for identifying and creatively solving problems’. (Luchs, 2015) Throughout the thesis, I will describe the foundations and origins of design thinking in the first place. I will continue describing it

Abstract:

The first paper is “Handicapping Politicians: the optimal majority rule in incumbency elections.” The paper examines the incentives of politicians whose position of incumbency allows them to signal their quality through costly effort. Because an election has such a discrete outcome (to win or to lose), politicians will exert the most effort when they expect the election to be close, giving rise to a cluster of signals just above the threshold required to win. Two propositions follow: first, this clustering causes a skew distribution of signals, such that the median expected quality will be abo

Abstract:

This thesis is a comprehensive account and analysis of the contribution of architect and author A. J. Penty to British social criticism and aesthetic theory. The central argument is that Penty has been neglected in scholarship as the result of an historical misclassification. In the existing literature he is presented as a marginal figure in the history of English guild socialism, a movement his first book did much to inspire. He was, in fact, in conflict with fundamental aspects of the guild socialist movement as it developed. Considered in totality, Penty's views were those of a reactionary

Abstract:

Two perceptions of the marginality of home economics are widespread across educational and other contexts. One is that home economics and those who engage in its pedagogy are inevitably marginalised within patriarchal relations in education and culture. This is because home economics is characterised as women's knowledge, for the private domain of the home. The other perception is that only orthodox epistemological frameworks of inquiry should be used to interrogate this state of affairs. These perceptions have prompted leading theorists in the field to call for non-essentialist approaches to

This thesis cross-fertilises process philosophy and peace studies by exploring the ways in which process philosophers extend and strengthen peace scholars’ outlines of a paradigm of/for peace. The value of such a paradigm is illustrated through the example of the climate crisis, showing how process thinking and process metaphysics intervene at its roots. In making this argument, the “static-process framework” is developed as an inroad to process philosophy and a tool to assist with its application. This framework depicts tensions between two modes of thought—static and process thinking—accordi

The Food Systems (FS) pillar in SDG 12 entails paramount relevance due to its interconnection to many other SDGs, and even when being a crucial world food supplier, the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) Region struggles with environmental and social externalities, low investment in agriculture, inequity, food insecurity, poverty, and m

Abstract:

Absorptive capacity plays an important role in the organizational adaptation process. Prior research on absorptive capacity focuses on its role in organizational outcomes such as financial performance, innovation, new product development, etc. Recently, scholars have called for research on factors that influence absorptive capacity. Because absorptive capacity plays a vital role in achieving organizational outcomes, it behooves us to improve our understanding of absorptive capacity and its antecedents to serve both researchers and practitioners. In this investigation, strategic thinking is pos

Abstract:

I due aspetti fondamentali del Lean Thinking sono il miglioramento continuo ed il rispetto per le persone. Il primo aspetto si realizza attraverso il PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Act), un metodo scientifico di problem solving, utilizzabile per eliminare i problemi in cui le persone si imbattono ricorrentemente e che non permettono il raggiungimento di un determinato obiettivo. Tale metodo è stato utilizzato in CAREL INDUSTRIES S.p.A. per migliorare l'efficienza in Sviluppo Prodotto, un'area su cui l'Azienda investe molto e dalla quale ha iniziato ad applicare la filosofia Lean.

Abstract:

Questo elaborato sviluppa le metodologie di analisi del processo produttivo adottate nell’ambito di una PMI e si propone di valutare la fattibilità economica della realizzazione di una cella di assemblaggio per motoriduttori. L’idea di realizzare una cella di assemblaggio nasce dalla volontà di ridurre le movimentazioni di materiale concentrando l’assemblaggio finale in un’area dedicata dello stabilimento. Vengono descritti i metodi di determinazione dei tempi di produzione e i parametri utilizzati per valutare l’efficienza dei processi produttivi. Sono esposti i principi del Lean Thinking

Abstract:

The salvation-restoration oracle in Joel 1 and 2 depicts the four phases of a spiritual cycle that has economic consequences: backsliding causes Yahweh to progressively remove His blessing, thus creating economic “recession”; disobedience (i.e. deliberate, blatant sin) leads to “depression”; true, heart-felt repentance causes Yahweh to reinstate His blessing, which kick-starts the process of “recovery”; and increasing levels of obedience lead ultimately to full blessing, resulting in “prosperity”. In particular, Joel 2:28 suggests that the outpouring of economic blessing will either precede or

Esta dissertação pretende compreender a analítica proposta pelo filósofo francês Michel Foucault no curso realizado no Collège de France intitulado Nascimento da Biopolítica (1978-79) a respeito da arte de governar neoliberal. Buscamos apreender a relação entre a análise do neoliberalismo e outros momentos e conceitos da produção bibliográfica foucaultiana, tais como as noções de biopolítica, de governamentalidade e de poder disciplinar. Para tal, realizamos uma incursão em diversas obras do filósofo, como As palavras e as coisas (1966), Vigiar e Punir (1975), História da Sexualidade I A vont

Abstract:

Essere in grado di prendere sempre le miglior decisioni per noi stessi non è un’impresa facile, in quanto essendo umani, ognuno di noi è influenzato da emozioni, sentimenti, dal contesto e non è mai totalmente razionale. La prima parte di questo elaborato propone un’analisi di quei fattori che inducono il consumatore a non fare delle scelte razionali e nel proprio interesse in relazione alla teoria del Nudge e all’architettura delle scelte; sono analizzati i principali pregiudizi cognitivi: problemi di autocontrollo, avversione alle perdite, distorsione status quo, influenze sociali, eccessivo

This thesis articulates a methodology that can be applied to the analysis and design of underlying organisational structures and processes that will consistently and effectively address ‘wicked problems’ (the most difficult class of problems that we can conceptualise: problems which consist of ‘clusters’ of problems; problems within these clusters cannot be solved in isolation from one another, and include sociopolitical and moral-spiritual issues (Rittel and Webber 1973)) in forestry. This transdisciplinary methodology has been developed from the perspective of institutional economics synthes

Abstract:

The thesis analyses the EC competition and US antitrust approaches to tying with special reference to economic thinking and intellectual property rights. It establishes that from an economic perspective that tying cannot be considered purely anticompetitive. Only when certain conditions are present is this the case: market power, an imperfect tied product market, which includes insufficient competition, high barriers to entry, and competitors' inability to compete with the dominant company's tied product package. Even in these circumstances, tying may have pro-competitive effects, which can ou
