This study illustrates how partnerships in asymmetric power relationships, such as social enterprises and large established firms, can be made in the context of social partnership. We acknowledge that partnerships with large corporations can help social enterprises to overcome several structural barriers they may encounter in forming and sustaining their business models. However, these partnerships can be situated in asymmetric power relationships as resource dependence unfolds. Thus, paradoxically, a partnership with a large corporation can be another challenge to the social enterprise. In absorbing these constraints, we propose that a social enterprise should come up with a stylized social partnership model, utilizing their social capital when engaging in the formation of such a power-imbalanced partnership. We conducted an in-depth case study which presents how a small and young social enterprise can achieve a viable partnership with a large, established firm. Our findings show that social enterprises can form and develop long-term sustainable partnerships with large corporations using a stylized platform strategy with social capital and relational governance in the process of collective value creation.

Purpose – Research suggests that asymmetry has a negative impact on value creation and value distribution and assumes that the smaller partner has an inferior position and must defend itself from value misappropriation. However, industries are plagued with a range of business relationships of varying degree of imbalance. Ambitious and growth-oriented small firms enter relationships with larger counterparts, tolerate the imbalance and learn to achieve successful outcomes. In spite of the increasing importance of asymmetric partnerships, there are still many research and conceptual lacunas. Design/methodology/approach – Ideas and conclusions of this paper are based on the authors’ experience as well as on evidence from a qualitative case study conducted at a small- and medium-sized enterprise (SME) and one of its key larger partners. Findings – Findings reveal that asymmetric partnerships may offer a clear route to value creation and innovation for firms. Moreover, both partners can fully appropriate the value jointly generated. Originality/value – Asymmetric partnerships, generally characterized by large dissimilarities between firms, offer the possibility of moving beyond the zero-sum game, where firms obtain value at the expense of their partners. By examining the development and dynamic aspects of these partnerships, we found a novel concept, “dual-value appropriation”, and addressed the issues of how and under which conditions dual value emerges to explain the success of asymmetric partnerships.

Texto completoResumen
Large companies increasingly look for collaborations with new ventures to accelerate their innovation process, and researchers stress the potential of such partnerships to develop innovations. But when are entrepreneurs willing to engage in a partnership with a larger player? We seek to understand when founders of new ventures are willing to engage in such asymmetric partnerships through consideration of the characteristics of the entrepreneurial decision maker and the perceived attributes of the larger counterpart. The results of a conjoint experiment with 115 startup entrepreneurs suggest that among the partner selection criteria a high level of openness on the part of the large corporate company and concise contractual design signal trustworthiness to entrepreneurs, which has a positive impact on their willingness to engage in collaborative innovation. Our study also suggests that entrepreneurs’ self-efficacy reduces the willingness to partner and the positive impact of concise contractual designs. The results have implications for the self-concept and design of innovation and partner management of large firms, and for entrepreneurs who consider asymmetric partnerships a growth opportunity.

The asymmetric relationship between governments and vendors makes a public-private partnership difficult to achieve, according to principal-agent theory, because vendors have more opportunities to shirk their contracted duties than governments can control. The experience of the Orlando Orange County Expressway Authority illustrates how the use of incentives helps achieve partnerships.

Texto completoResumen
Since the introduction of open innovation (OI), both firms and academics have widely acknowledged the potential of unlocking large firms’ innovation potential through interactions with external parties, such as young ventures. These asymmetric partnerships are prone to several problems related to communication, roles and responsibilities, cultural differences, and operational issues, for which solutions and best practices have been proposed. However, all these solutions focus on the partnership itself; hence, on the “Get & Manage (GM)” stages. Unfortunately, the processes leading to a partnership; i.e., the “Want & Find (WF)” stages before the partnership, have largely been overlooked. The central thesis of this manuscript is that solutions that are implemented in the early “WF” stages have a positive impact on the outcomes of an asymmetric large firm — young venture partnership. We will show that attention to set-up and communication efforts in these early stages is needed, and discuss how our detailed explanations of such fruitful solutions contribute to the extant literature on asymmetric OI collaborations.

There exists the problem of information asymmetry among the participants in construction project who form economic partnerships one another. Information asymmetries among the participants in construction project places a premium on adverse selection and moral hazard. The major objective of this article is to implement the mechanisms of incentive and monitoring under the framework of principal-agent theory in analysis of moral hazard of construction project and to explore how to prevent it. The optimization model of incentive and monitoring under the circumstance of asymmetric information will be founded on the basis of the analysis of the effect of incentive and monitoring mechanisms in the principal- agent relationship. It indicates that reliability of information can be increased when bringing incentive and monitoring mechanisms into reward contract, which can prevent moral hazard of construction project.

Texto completoResumen
For a partnership model with general type distributions and interdependent values, we derive the optimal dissolution mechanisms that, for arbitrary initial ownership, maximize any convex combination of revenue and social surplus. The solution involves ironing around typically interior worst‐off types, which are endogenously determined. The optimal ownership structures are such that, with identical distributions, equal shares are always optimal. With nonidentical distributions, the optimal shares are typically asymmetric, the identity of the agents with large shares may change with the importance of revenue generation, and even fully concentrated initial ownership and assigning zero shares to the strongest agents can be optimal.

Transportbranschen påverkas av accelererande teknologitrender i form av autonoma system, eldrivlinor och en fordonsflotta som är mer uppkopplad än någonsin. Allt detta, i kombination med de ökande kraven på gröna transporter och sofistikerade logistiksystem, innebär nya förutsättningar för att vara konkurrenskraftig i transportindustrin. För att lyckas med omställningen krävs samarbeten mellan flera parter i systemet. Samtidigt så ökar FOI-kostnaderna för de flesta bolag markant, vilket gör dem mer benägna att hitta synergier med potentiella innovationspartners och anamma konceptet öppen innovation. Syftet med denna studie är att på analysera om, och hur, Scania kan tillämpa asymmetriska samarbeten ihop med små, omogna företag, för att öka sin innovationsförmåga. Både företag och forskare har under lång tid utforskat möjligheten att kombinera karaktärsdragen hos stora stabila bolag och små snabbfotade startups. Det har emellertid visat sig att gestaltningen av dessa partnerskap är unik för varje bolags specifika förutsättningar och behov. För att identifiera Scanias mest framstående innovationsbehov, från ett systemperspektiv, så genomfördes en systematisk empirisk studie med totalt 26 chefer på olika avdelningar inom organisationen. Detta ledde till slutsatsen att de mest framstående behoven ligger i att förstå framväxande marknader och öka sin förmåga till att anpassa sig efter framväxande möjligheter. Vidare så granskades dessa behov i relation till tillgänglig forskning på ämnet asymmetriska partnerskap. Detta, i kombination med en fallstudie av fyra företag med erfarenhet av att samarbeta med startups, ledde till slutsatsen att Scania tordes kunna tillämpa asymmetriska partnerskap i form av ett projektbaserat startup-program, med en målbild som fokuserar på lärande snarare än specifik innovationsavkastning för att de mest framstående behoven samt komplettera existerande initiativ. Avslutningsvis rekommenderas ett processbaserat ramverk för hur Scania borde implementera det föreslagna startupprogrammet. Detta ramverk tar hänsyn till hur Scania kan identifiera, skapa förutsättningarna och underhålla partnerskapen i programmet, genom en centraliserad interface-enhet för att generera ett önskvärt utfall. Mer specifikt, för att tillskaffa sig insikter i framväxande marknader och affärsområden, samt att främja en entreprenörskultur spill-over effekt från utforskande, omogna entreprenöriella startupbolag.The accelerating technology trends of autonomous systems, electric drivetrains and an ever so connected fleet of vehicles in conjunction with increasing demand on green transports and sophisticated logistic systems set new prerequisites for the business environment in the transport industry. At the same time, the costs for most corporations’ R&D activities are staggering, which prone for new ways to find synergies with potential partners to innovate together, adopting the concept of open innovation. With this background, Scania has set up a vision to become the leader of partnership driven sustainable innovation in order to address the forthcoming opportunities. The purpose of this study is to analyze if, and how, Scania should utilize asymmetric collaborations in relation to small, fast growing companies, in order to increase its innovativeness. Both practitioners and researchers have for a long time tried to combine the characteristics of big stable corporations and small agile startups. However, the configuration and objectives for such partnerships are unique for every corporations’ individual prerequisites and needs. Through an empirical study of in total 26 managers, from different functions of the organization, the conclusion was made that Scania’s most prominent innovation needs was to increase its performance in transformational innovation by understanding emerging markets and increase the company’s organizational adaptability. By reviewing the literature on the subject, in combination with a case study of four other corporations with experience of asymmetric partnerships the analysis was made that to utilize asymmetric partnerships in the form of a project-based startup program, with the objective to focus on learning rather than specific innovation outputs would be one possible solution to address Scania’s needs. As a final recommendation, a process-based framework of how Scania should implement the proposed startup program has been designed. This framework takes into account recommendations for how to identify, create the perquisites and maintain the partnerships in the program, through a centralized interface, in order to generate a fruitful outcome. More explicitly to gain insights in emerging markets & businesses and promote an entrepreneurial culture spillover effect from explorative, immature and entrepreneurial startup firms.

This thesis presents two chapters on credence goods and one on ongoing partnerships in an infinitely repeated game. The chapters on credence goods focus on the welfare and efficiency of equilibria in overcharging models of credence goods, something which has not been explicitly addressed before. The chapter on partnerships presents a theory explaining ongoing partnerships as solving a commitment problem for clients. There is a small literature on partnerships, and this chapter represents a novel but complimentary approach to that literature. At core, chapters 2, 3 and 4 of this thesis ask the following questions respectively: Do competition and information increase welfare in credence goods markets? How do customers in credence goods markets discipline experts from committing fraud? Can these strategies be welfare ranked? Why do ongoing partnerships exist? What problem do they solve?

Texto completoResumen
Bakgrund: Startupföretag bidrar i dagens samhälle med flertalet innovationer, vilket storföretag kan ta del av genom öppen innovation. När företagen samarbetar med varandra kan parterna tillsammans främja innovation och ta del av ny kunskap. Startupföretag får hjälp med kommersialisering av affärsidén och storföretag kan behålla sin marknadsposition genom användningen av ny teknik. På grund av den stora asymmetrin organisationerna emellan är det av intresse att ge en förklaring för vad som påverkar en affär mellan startupföretag och storföretag, för att möjliggöra fler lyckade samarbeten. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att utifrån startupföretags perspektiv undersöka faktorer som påverkar en lyckad affär mellan startupföretag och storföretag inom högteknologiska branscher. Metod: Studien utfördes med en kvantitativ metod där empirin samlats in med hjälp av enkäter via en tvärsnittsdesign. Vidare har studien utgått från det positivistiska perspektivet där en deduktiv ansats använts. En hierarkisk logistisk regressionsanalys genomfördes för att analysera hur tidigare erfarenhet av storföretag, matchad via stödfunktion, avtalsdesign, förtroende, kommunikation, indirekta värden och direkta värden samvarierar med en lyckad affär mellan storföretag och startupföretag. Slutsats: Studiens resultat visar att ökad omsättning, avtalsdesign, tidigare erfarenhet av kontraktering, stödfunktioner, kostnadseffektivitet och indirekta värden har ett statistiskt signifikant samband med lyckad affär. Ökad omsättning, ett detaljerat avtal, tidigare erfarenhet av kontraktering och matchning via stödfunktion ökar sannolikheten för en lyckad affär. När vikt läggs vid kostnadseffektivitet och indirekta värden minskar sannolikheten att affären blir lyckad. Genom att ta studiens faktorer i beaktning kan både startupföretag och storföretag öka sannolikheten att det blir en lyckad affär.Background: Startups contribute in today's society with multiple innovations, which large companies can take part of through open innovation. By collaborating, both companies can enhance innovation and take part of new knowledge. Startups receive help with the commercialization of their business idea and large companies can keep their market position through the use of new technology. Due to the large asymmetry between the organisations, it is of interest to create a broader explanation of what affects the deal between startups and large companies, in order to enable more successful collaboration. Purpose: The purpose of the study is to examine different factors that affect a successful deal between startups and large companies in high-tech industries from the startup perspective. Methodology: The study used a quantitative research method where the empirical data has been collected by questionnaires. The study is based on a positivist philosophical standpoint with a deductive approach. A hierarchical logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze how the factors previous experience with large companies, matched by a support function, contract design, trust, personal chemistry, communication, indirect values and direct values affects the deal between large companies and startups. Analysis and conclusion: The result of the study shows that increased revenue, contract design, previous experience of contracting, support functions, cost efficiency and indirect values have a statistically significant correlation with a successful deal. Increased revenue, a detailed contract, previous experience of contracting and matched by a support function increases the probability to perform a successful deal. When focus shifts to cost efficiency and indirect values, the probability of the deal being successful decreases. By taking the factors into account, both startups and large companies can increase the probability that it will be a successful deal.

Thesis advisor: William A. GamsonThis work presents a longitudinal study of greater than 10 years, of all the major peace-building initiatives with an educational encounter-based approach in Israel and Palestine, during times of relative peace and times of acute violence (1993-2008). Interestingly, my results indicated that when the environment became more tumultuous and hostile, the effectiveness and even survival of these organizations depended to a significant degree on the ability of the organizations to manage the power asymmetry between the two sides and work as equally as possible. Organizations which failed to deal effectively with matters of equality, and the needs and desires of both sides, ended up struggling to maintain commitment, or were doused in conflict that could have been tempered if they strived for more equality. This study, which involved fieldwork, participant observation, and interviews with Palestinian and Israeli peace-builders prior to, during, and post-the 2nd Intifada, is in many ways a natural experiment of peace-building organizations operating in radically different contexts. Involving various fields, this research contributes to the broad fields of conflict resolution, peace studies, and organization studies. It offers critical insight into how organizations adapt in radically changing environments, what is problematic, what are their possibilities, and what allows some to survive while others do not. Practically speaking, this study also has political import as it suggests ways to strengthen and sustain peace-building efforts in different contexts and strengthen peace-building's symbolic, cultural, and political worth and value. In addition, it has significance for building sustainable coalitions across an arena of inequality, asymmetry, and difference

Texto completoResumen
Problem: Sverige har ett tydligt behov att investera i vår infrastruktur och kollektivtrafik samtidigt som det krävs ökade anslag för att upprätthålla och underhålla redan befintlig infrastruktur. Då det påpekas gång på gång att gapet mellan vårt statliga budgetanslag och det faktiska behovet ökar för varje år som går växer problemet. Samtidigt visar erfarenheter från andra europeiska länder att det finns tydliga fördelar med att involvera privata aktörer till samhällsinvesteringar. Sverige ligger dock efter i den utvecklingen, och vi riskerar att våra behov i samhället inte uppfylls. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att utreda huruvida aktörer verksamma inom transportinfrastrukturbranschen ställer sig till OPS-finansiering av kollektivtrafiken. Metod: Undersökningen har utgått från en kvalitativ ansats med semi-strukturerade intervjuer som primär datakälla. Slutsats: I undersökningen har forskarna fastslagit att aktörerna i kollektivtrafiksbranschen är positivt inställda till OPS och dess syfte, och att det finns goda utvecklingspotentialer inom kollektivtrafiken. Forskarna vill dock klargöra att aktörerna menar att det är en lång resa kvar till att större projekt finansieras via OPS, men att kollektivtrafiken i mångt och mycket skulle må bra av att introducera OPS-lösningar i mindre utsträckning för att på så sätt öka kompetensen och öka samarbetet mellan den offentliga och den privata sektorn.Problem: Sweden has a clear need to invest in our infrastructure and public transport, while it requires increased funding to sustain and maintain existing infrastructure. As pointed out repeatedly that the gap between our state budget and the actual need is increasing, every passing year is a growing problem. At the same time the experience in other European countries, there are clear advantages to involve private players to community investments. Sweden is behind in this development, and we run the risk that our community needs are not met. Purpose: The purpose of the study is to investigate whether the operators active in the transport industry stands to PPP financing of public transport. Method: The survey was based on a qualitative approach with semi structured interviews as the primary data source. Conclusion: In the study, the researchers determined that the actors in the public transport industry are positive to the OPS and its purpose, and that there is good potential for development in public transport. Researchers want to make clear, however that the actors believe that it is a long way to go to major projects financed through PPP, but the public transport in many respects would do well to introduce PPP solutions to a lesser extent so as to increase skills and boost cooperation between the public and private sectors.

Texto completoResumen
Thesis (MA (Political Science. International Studies))--University of Stellenbosch, 2009.Europe and Africa share a long history that is characterized both by oppression and development. The relationship between the European Union (EU) and the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries is a particularly important aspect of EU development cooperation policy. The developmental history between the EU and Africa started with the Yaoundé Conventions of 1963 and 1969, which were replaced by the Lomé Convention. Unfortunately, the favourable terms and preferential access for the ACP countries to Europe failed and the Lomé Convention was replaced by the Cotonou Partnership Agreement (CPA) in 2000. As a result of a WTO-waiver, the discriminatory non-reciprocal trade preferences, which were previously enjoyed under the Lomé Convention, continued until December 2007. The Cotonou Agreement points out that these trade preferences will be replaced by joint WTOcompatible Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs). During the EPA negotiations, the EU preferred to negotiate on a regional basis instead of negotiating with the ACP as a whole or with individual countries. Consequently, Sub-Saharan Africa formed two negotiation groups; the Eastern and Southern Africa (ESA) EPA group and the Southern African Development Community (SADC) EPA group, represented by the five Southern African Customs Union (SACU) countries, together with Mozambique and Angola. Although Southern Africa is the region that leads the continent; from an economic perspective, the Southern African states show considerable disparities. Due to the economic differences between South Africa and the BLNS countries (Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia and Swaziland), the interests of the individual SACU countries are diverse and often contradictory, which resulted in complicated EPA negotiations. However, maintaining a favourable long-term trading relationship with the EU is of great importance to the economic and political well-being of the SADC, since the EU is the main trading partner of most African countries. By December 2007, an interim EPA (IEPA) was initialled by the BLNS countries as a result of the pressure to fall back to the unfavourable Generalized System of Preferences (GSP). Due to the bilateral Trade Development and Cooperation Agreement (TDCA) that is in force between South Africa and the EU, South Africa was not negatively influenced by the expiry of the WTO-waiver. The EPA will have a negative impact on regional integration within SADC and will promote distinction within the regional economic communities. Duty free, quota free access was offered to the BLNS countries, but the EU did not extend this offer to South Africa because of the developmental status of the country and the pre-existing TDCA. Consequently, South Africa will be required to export at higher prices and will experience increased competition within the region. The downside of the removal of import tariffs for the BLNS countries is that government revenues will decrease, which might result in income losses and will accentuate poverty. The standstill-clause of the IEPA prevents the SACU countries from diversifying economically and from developing new industries. The Most- Favoured Nation clause primarily impacts negatively on South Africa, since it prevents South Africa from negotiating freely with other countries such as Brazil and China. Furthermore, the strict intellectual property rules of the IEPA undermine access to knowledge and hereby fail to support innovation. The content of a chapter on liberalization of services, that will be included in the full EPA, is still being negotiated. Liberalization of services might lead to more foreign investments in the BLNS countries, as a result of which the quality of services will increase, leading to better education, infrastructure and more job opportunities. However, foreign companies will gain power at the expense of African governments and companies. South Africa is the main supplier of services in the BLNS countries and will therefore be confronted with economic losses when the services sector is liberalized. From an economic nationalist perspective, the EU included numerous provisions in the IEPA that were not necessary for WTO compatibility. However, the EU is aware of the importance of trade agreements for the BLNS countries and found itself in the position to do so to fulfil its own interests. By making use of the expiry date of the WTO waiver; the IEPA was initialled by the BLNS countries within a relatively short period of time. South Africa, in its own national interests, opposed the provisions of the IEPA, which has led to the negotiations deadlock. Because of the economic power and negotiating tactics of the EU and the selfinterested attitude of South Africa in this respect, regional integration is undermined and the poorest countries are once again the worst off. Although Economic Partnership Agreements have to be established, the partnership-pillar is, in my opinion, hard to find.

Texto completoResumen
Le présent travail de recherche porte sur l’asymétrie des échanges interculturels dans les relations partenariales entre des organismes du Nord et du Sud. D’un tâtonnement exploratoire à la constitution d’un cadre d’analyse combinant plusieurs approches, cette recherche s’intéresse particulièrement aux partenariats entre des organisations non gouvernementales, des associations et des entreprises à but socioéconomique françaises et sénégalaises. L’analyse de ces relations partenariales se fait à trois niveaux : autour de l’acteur, ses logiques et les situations de coopération. Elle s’appuie sur des modèles théoriques et conceptuels notamment sur la problématique des rationalités, de la créativité des acteurs et des logiques de partenariat. Les relations partenariales s’inscrivent de ce fait dans ce qu’on pourrait appréhender comme un double mouvement de transaction socio-historique à la fois structurelle et structurale.En effet, le partenariat actuel entre organismes participe d’une métamorphose bien plus globale qui prend en compte les évolutions d’un monde en mutation permanente. Il résulte également d’un processus d’évolution des relations franco-sénégalaises.L’analyse des relations nouvelles et des alternatives de partenariat propose une sociologie des relations partenariales qui questionnent les discours et les pratiques de coopération dans le cadre d’échanges interculturels structurés et semi-structurés.L’analyse proposée permet ainsi de répondre à l’interrogation suivante : ces relations obéissent-elles à des logiques de domination, de réciprocité, de fraternalisme ou d’asymétrie ?This research work focuses on the asymmetry of the intercultural exchanges within the partner relationships between the North and the South organizations. We particularly put emphasis on partner relationships between nongovernmental organizations and companies with a socio-economic vocation in France and in Senegal.The analysis of these partner relationships is done at three levels: on the partner, his logic and the cooperation situations. This relies on theoretical and conceptual models such as Weber’s (Weber M., 1964) comprehensive approach that emphasizes on rational actions, Boltanski’s, (Boltanski, 1990) normative action analysis model, Mauss’ (Mauss, 2007) reciprocal donation model, Joas’s (Joas H. , 1999) critical theory that highlights the creative nature that human actions have and Remy’s (Remy, 2005/1) social transaction theory. Partner relationships are then part of what could be tackled as a double issue of socio-historical transaction both structural and organisational. In fact, today’s partnerships between organizations are part of a much more global change taking into account the evolution of a permanently changing world. It thus arises on an evolution process of France-Senegal relationships. The analysis of new relationships and other partnership alternatives suggests a sociology of partner relationships that questions the today’s cooperation discourses and practices concerning structured and semi-structured intercultural exchanges. The analysis that we propose makes it possible to answer the following question: Do these relations follow a common sense of domination, reciprocity, fraternalism (Césaire, 1956) or asymmetry ?

Texto completoResumen
AbstractThink tanks are important actors in global policy-making, and those from the Global South are gaining relevance. One premise of this chapter is that the 2030 Agenda’s calls for more effective partnerships and new types of knowledge. A second premise is that partnerships reflect a power distribution among partners; in some cases, these are horizontal, and in others asymmetrical. In this context, the chapter explores the relationships between think tanks from the Global South with each other, their Northern peers, and the broader international community. It concludes that think tanks can enable collaborations with a diversity of actors. To do so, however, think tanks need to adapt their business models and develop trust with other policy actors in order to remain effective.

This chapter examines the phenomenon of e-learning in East Africa. The classic grounded theory methodology was used to carry out the study. Through multiple encounters with 24 e-learning providers, the investigation revealed legitimizing of e-learning projects to be a significant issue for these providers. Developing collaborating partnerships was a key strategy used by the providers to legitimize e-learning projects. The study identified two types of collaborating partnerships: Asymmetrical and Reciprocal. These findings are positioned within literature to highlight the contribution that this paper makes to the discourse on e-learning projects in developing countries.

Social scientists describe reciprocity as prosocial behavior. Some philosophers argue it is a fundamental virtue. Subtle and fluent reciprocity between life partners may well be commendable. But reciprocity between institutions with divergent missions, purposes, or interests raises serious ethical concerns. In such cases, reciprocity may create subtle forms of influence that imperil institutional integrity. Ethical concerns are most acute when one institution has an obligation to protect the interests of third parties (especially vulnerable populations), and its reciprocal behavior adversely affects those third parties. When a public health agency partners with a corporation whose products or practices have adverse effects on health, asymmetric reciprocity may seriously undermine public health. The concept of stewardship can help public officials identify and address ethically problematic reciprocity.

Texto completoResumen
The rising of the knowledge economy, enhanced by the fast diffusion of ICTs, drives a wider perspective on the divide among Countries, interpreting it more and more as the result of an asymmetry in the access to knowledge and in the readiness to apply it in order to renew the basics of their development dynamics. Looking at the Mediterranean Area, the positive correlation between the Networked Readiness Index and the Global Competitive Index developed at Global Economic Forum – INSEAD, shows that the opposite sides of the Mediterranean Sea are performing a development path at two different paces. In the effort to face the challenge of supporting the creation of Intellectual Capital able to apply, diffuse and benefit from e-business, in 2005 the e-Business Management Section (eBMS) of Scuola Superiore ISUFI – University of Salento launched the “Mediterranean School of e-Business Management”. The present work aims to offer a presentation of its genesis, its most distinctive features, operational model and action plan. The preliminary results of its activities show the role and the main challenges of the School in addressing the needs of the Mediterranean Countries towards a logic of partnership for the development of their Intellectual assets.

Texto completoResumen
Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a solid-state joining process invented by The Welding Institute (TWI, United Kingdom) in 1991 in partnership with the National Aeronautics Space Agency. The process is emerging as one of the preferred alternative methods to permanently join materials that are difficult to join with traditional fusion methods (e.g., MIG, TIG, etc.). The welding of various copper alloys to various aluminum alloys is of great interest to the nuclear industry and the electrical distribution industry. The very different melting points of these two alloys preclude traditional fusion welding. Since the pin tool is simultaneously rotating and traversing through the work piece, flow around the tool is asymmetrical. This has led to designating one side of the tool as advancing and the opposite side as retreating. On the advancing side of the weld, the tool has a tangential velocity in the same direction as the weld is being created. The retreating side of the weld tool is the opposite. It can be can expected that asymmetric heating and deformation will occur in the weld due to this advancing/retreating nature of the FSW pin tool. Although previous studies have been performed that have observed this asymmetric behavior in both similar and dissimilar materials, the resulting welds have been of a poor quality. Large statistical experiments were conducted locally to study the effects of tool geometry, process parameters, and material composition have upon the friction stir butt welding of aluminum alloy 6061-T6 to copper alloy 11000 using a modern conventional 3-axis CNC vertical mill. The research seeks to determine (1) which direction a dissimilar metal friction stir weld between aluminum and copper should be executed, (2) the optimal shoulder diameter to be used when friction stir welding aluminum and copper on a CNC mill, and (3) the addition of a third material to act as an aide. The extensive statistical interactions between these parameters is also documented. A weld schedule was developed that resulted in an ultimate tensile strength (UTS) surpassing (greater than 90% of the weaker, more ductile copper alloy UTS strength) what has been documented in the current literature despite the machine limitations of the CNC vertical mill. Proper optimization of the welding schedule developed may approach 100 percent of the basic copper 11000 properties across the welded zone into the aluminum 6061-T6 alloy.

Texto completoResumen
During the years of independence, the unevenness (asymmetry) of the economic development of the regions of the Kyrgyz Republic sharply increased, the multiple gap between the regions increased according to the most important indicators of regional production, income level and poverty, the quality of life of the population. Regions of the country vary significantly in size, population size and density, level of economic development, natural and climatic conditions, national and historical features. All this causes significant differences in the needs of budget financing and tax bases of individual regions. Smoothing economic asymmetry is one of the most important issues of public administration. The core of the research toolkit should be the economic and mathematical model of economic growth in the region. In regional studies, the following factors of economic growth can be identified: natural resources; labor resources; main capital; volume of investment. In addition, new methods of overcoming socio-economic asymmetry include working out the mechanism of effective public-private partnership and everywhere to introduce long-term planning for the development of the region's economy. The preservation and development of the country as a state largely depends on the effective regional policy implemented in the country.

Texto completoResumen
The vortex-induced vibrations - VIV have been studied for several fields of engineering due to its occurrence in different structures, such as electrical cables, industries chimneys and offshore risers. Although available an extensive literature describing its fundamental issues, these vortex-induced phenomena still deserve investigation, particularly in the offshore platforms installed in regions with high current speed. Recently, the Vortex-Induced Motions - VIM, a particular case of vortex-induced vibration with high magnitude of response amplitude, have been observed in SPAR platforms installed in Gulf of Mexico - GoM, opening a new investigation field. For those motions, aspects such as asymmetric mooring restoring stiffness and the probable three-dimensionality of the flow turn the problem even more complex. Since 2003, in partnership with University of Sao Paulo and consultant companies, PETROBRAS has been studying the use of monocolumn floaters for oil production in Campos Basin and GoM. Considering the environmental conditions in these areas and assuming that monocolumn floaters can exhibit similar VIM behavior of SPAR platforms, it was started an experimental investigation focusing on VIM responses of small-scale monocolumn floaters in towing tank. Although based on the state of art procedures used for SPAR platforms, the monocolumn experiments considered the different geometry of this concept and the larger susceptibility to the three-dimensional effects, due to the smaller relation draft/beam. Special attention was given to the ratio roughness/beam in order to guarantee similarity between the experiments and its respective real cases. Additionally, different heading conditions were also tested. Thus, the present work presents a set of preliminary results and discussions concerning VIM of monocolumn floaters and its impact on the mooring line design and riser specification.
