Abstract:

Animals vary in their response to the distribution of resources in time and space. Opportunistic foraging is evident in many species and has indirectly been shown to be linked to measures of cognition such as innovation and problem solving. However, in the field of cognitive ecology, the operationalization and empirical use of opportunism is problematic. In chapter 1, I review the concept of opportunism in the zoological literature and propose an operational definition. The review suggests that many definitions of the concept are not useful, in particular those that equate it with generalism

Abstract:

This thesis is structured in three chapters. In chapter 1, I address managerial opportunism towards workers. I present a theoretical model and test it. Results suggest that outside opportunities are key to hinder or stimulate managerial opportunism towards the workforce. In chapter 2, I study price-setting practices in the US title insurance industry. I test both the presence of a bilateral monopoly, insurers and lawyers, and the increase in the title insurers' market concentration levels. Results suggest that the increased concentration led to an increase in prices. In chapter

Abstract:

The theoretical frameworks of transaction cost economics and agency theory are widely used to design appropriate governance structure for constraining opportunism within marketing channels. These approaches generally assume that marketing channel managers are opportunistic, and only economic constraints deter opportunism in exchange relationships. However, some empirical studies have shown that managers do not always behave opportunistically even if conditions permit such behavior. In addition, some researchers have proposed a â cycle of self-fulfilling prophecyâ and have argued that the un

Abstract:

This research seeks to pinpoint the telencephalic structures most closely correlated with feeding flexibility, which is operationalised as feeding innovation rate per taxon. By calculating a weighted average per taxon of 1030 feeding innovations collated from five zones of the world (western Europe, North America, Australia, New Zealand and India), the study shows that relative size of the hyperstriatum ventrale and, to a lesser extent, the neostriatum , best predicts weighted innovation rate; these two structures are thought to be functionally equivalent to the mammalian neocortex.

Abstract:

The interaction among firms in the supply chain is necessary for business process execution and relationship success. One phenomenon of great significance to buyer-supplier relationships is opportunism. Opportunism is defined as behavior that is self-interest seeking with guile. It is manifested in behaviors such as stealing, cheating, dishonesty, and withholding information. Opportunism negatively impacts relational exchange tenets such as trust, commitment, cooperation, and satisfaction. Furthermore, perceptions of opportunism negatively affect firm performance. In lieu of the known negative

The construction industry has been identified with fragmentation, adversarial relationships, opportunism, and high rates of disputes. Therefore, there has been a call for the improvement of inter-firm relations in the sector through more appropriate governance strategies. This study drew upon transaction cost economics theory and new economic sociology in relation to the problem of inter-firm opportunism in economic relations. The study argues that depending on how patterns of inter-firm opportunism are viewed, different governance strategies may be formulated. Through a critical review of the

The possibility of opportunistic behavior is an important barrier to the collaboration between partners in the supply chain as partners pursue their self-interests with guile. Opportunistic behavior threatens the partners’ relationships, influences their work accomplishment and prevents future collaboration.

Abstract:

Under the current competitive market environment, buyers and sellers strive to develop and maintain close business relationships to achieve greater competitive advantages. However, this relationship arrangement often fails at a very high rate due to the existence of opportunism. Research scholars have empirically investigated this issue. Yet, to date, opportunism has not been studied explicitly. Empirical attentions have been devoted to define sets of governance mechanisms that deter opportunism rather than trying to understand what the root causes are. Moreover, the causes and effects of this

From a contemporary international perspective, there are two truly global religious movements of enormous vitality. One is a resurgent Islam, the other Pentecostal Protestantism. What makes the growth of Pentecostal Protestantism so fascinating is the fact that it’s transforming a region where the Catholic Church has for five centuries reigned supreme in its religious monopoly. While the first century of proselytizing in Latin America was relatively minute (constituting only 1 percent of the overall population in 1950), Pentecostalism began to show signs of its potential vitality in the 1960s

Abstract:

This thesis addresses the implementation of long-term public-private contracts for utility services. Long-term contracts are inevitably incomplete and need to be adjusted over time to take account of new information or changes in the operating environment. Institutional environments, especially in developing countries, are also very likely to be incomplete. The existing literature has tended to focus on one of these two types of incompleteness; this thesis takes the analysis a step further by integrating the two into a single approach. Many contracts contain provisions for periodic adjustments

Circadian rhythms are ubiquitous among eukaryotic organisms and have evolved several times independently which strongly suggests that the presence of a biological clock is adaptive.

Abstract:

Blockchain technology with its distributed ledgers attracts massive attention today and creates interest in many different industries. One of the most promising areas for implementation of blockchain technology is its use to create fully automated and decentralized contract solutions, so-called smart contracts. The blockchain technology is also expected to develop the concept of BIM by facilitating the creation of a common model. The problem addressed in this study is the limited amount of research carried out in the blockchain field and the potential use of smart contracts in procurement of s
