Abstract:
Many leaders of nonprofit organizations are challenged by limited and declining financial resources from government grants, while being asked by funders and their constituent base to provide better quality services to a larger population. Nonprofit leaders are exploring strategies to reduce their reliance on government grants by diversifying and growing alternative funding sources. The purpose of this single case study was to explore, through the conceptual lens of the balanced scorecard theory, strategies used by 4 leaders of a nonprofit organization in southern California who have experience

Foad, Colin. "Social context mismatch theory." Thesis, Cardiff University, 2016. http://orca.cf.ac.uk/84359/.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis outlines the novel theoretical approach of social context mismatch theory (SCMT). SCMT outlines how changes in context can lead to mismatches between motives and their surrounding environment. For example, the basic human desire to care for others has become problematic in a modern context, where globalised identities are possible. We want to care for all the vulnerable members of society, but we are faced with numerous barriers. The conclusion of SCMT is that these mismatches provide fertile soil for hypocrisy to thrive, as people become accustomed to failing to meet their desired

Abstract:
Does social similarity between the auditor and a specialist induce social biases that impair the auditor's reliance on the specialist? It is important to examine potential impairments to reliance since auditors do not possess expertise in many of the areas examined during the audit. One type of specialist that is increasingly relied upon by the auditor is the IT specialist. Since firms have two approaches to the organization of IT personnel (decentralized vs. centralized) and often use professional designations as a hiring criteria for specialists, I examine two dimensions of social similarity

Nous développons une version homotopique de la théorie de Morita classique en utilisant la notion de monade forte. C’était Anders Kock qui a montré qu’une monade T dans une catégorie monoidale Σ est forte si et seulement si la monade T est enrichie. Nous montrons que cette correspondance entre force et enrichissement se traduit par un 2-isomorphisme de 2-catégories. Sous certaines conditions sur la monade T, nous montrons que la catégorie homotopique des T-algèbres est équivalente au sens de Quillen à la catégorie homotopique des modules sur le monoïde d’endomorphismes de la T-algèbre T (I) li

Abstract:
The subject of this thesis is the haiku poem, which is now established as a viable form in English. The possibilities of the form - and its kindred forms of tanka, renga and haibun - are exemplified by my own creative writing, presented in Chapter Seven. This presentation is supported by nine further chapters dealing successively with haiku history, theory, practice and context. The chapters on haiku history offer an outline of the development of the form in Japan, together with discussion of its initial adaptation to the English-language context in North America.

Self-reliance as a component of development agendas is often relegated to the background if mentioned at all.

It investigates individual and collective use of local knowledge in formulating strategies for progressive community development in collaboration with international agencies.

Abstract:
C. Frith (1992) proposed that the clinical heterogeneity of schizophrenia could be explained by varying degrees of impairment in theory of mind (ToM). The development of this model is briefly traced with reference to the literature on autism and the empirical evidence discussed. Context processing deficits and their relationship to impaired ToM in autism are then introduced. Parallels with schizophrenia are explored with regards to the primacy and modularity of impaired ToM in schizophrenia. It is tentatively concluded that ToM is a social-cognitive form of context processing and that ToM impa

Abstract:
Many phenomena in nature can be modeled by differential equations depending on parameters that are being varied continuously. We say that a given solution undergoes a bifurcation with respect to a given parameter if the qualitative behaviour of the system changes arbitrarily close to this solution when the parameter is varied across a critical value. Bifurcation problems can achieve a very high level of complexity because nature is complex. Several assumptions can be made in order to introduce considerable simplifications without going too far from reality. In this thesis we are mainly concern

Human resource management (HRM) has paid insufficient attention to the impact of context. In this article, we outline the need for HRM to take full account of context, particularly national context, and to use both cultural theories and, particularly, institutional theories to do that. We use research publications that utilize the Cranet data to show how that can be done. From that evidence, we develop a series of proposals for further context-based research in HRM.

Subsequent chapters detail the development of psychological theory by three writers - Alexander Bain, Herbert Spencer and G. H. Lewes - who were at the forefront of new work.

Furthermore, it presents a new, theory-informed approach to design, and provides guidance for system developers seeking to implement context-aware information systems.

This thesis applies role theory to understand how Uzbekistan's bilateral relationships became either conflicting or cooperative between 1991 and 2010. Roles are key elements of social interaction as they describe plausible lines of action in a particular subject-person. They are thus a helpful way of identifying actors and constructing narratives. Furthermore, if they are seen as metaphors for drama, one may argue that roles - as opposed to personal identities - encapsulate autonomous action, which, like a text, ascertains meaning beyond the author's intent.

Mestrado em Mathematical Finance<br>O foco desta tese é na teoria da paridade do poder de compra (PPC) no contexto do Euro entre 1999 até 2016. Esta teoria tem em vista a ligação entre as taxas de câmbio, juro e inflação. Assim, pretende-se saber se com a eliminação da taxa de câmbio, a teoria de PPC é consistente com a ligação entre taxa de juro e taxa de inflação para os países da Zona Euro. Para este estudo a amostra contém doze países com informações entre 1999 até 2016. Os países presentes na amostra são: Austria, Bélgica, Finlândia, França, Alemanha, Grécia, Irelanda, Itália, Luxemburgo

Abstract:
In this study, two implementable leadership products were analogous to innovations, when framed in the context of Rogers’ diffusion-of-innovation theory. Thus, the products’ respective dissemination patterns were compared and contrasted-- quantitatively through purchase numbers, and qualitatively through opinions and events recollected by early users. The case-study approach was central to the investigation, and the results supported the Rogers model with regard to most constructs. The results pertaining to the S-shaped (sigmoidal) prototypical distribution curve, however, were enigmatic. The

Abstract:
Backpacking as a form of independent travel has grown to become a world phenomenon. Backpacker tourism is a global trend with increasing numbers not just from traditional generating countries in Europe, but also from emerging economies in Asia, such as Korea and Japan. The increasing popularity of backpacking among young Asians calls for more attention as the research to date has mainly focused on Western backpackers. This study seeks to advance the current understanding of Asian backpacking as a social phenomenon in its relatively early stage of development. Backpacking is considered as a rit

Abstract:
The work aims at addressing in a unified framework a variety environmental/contextual factors (geographical, campaign- and network-related). In doing so, theoretical and empirical relation between these various levels are investigated, as well as responses by which individuals can react to environmental stimuli. From the methodological side, hypotheses of the work are tested by means of multilevel regression models and agent-based simulations.
