Knowledge and knowledge sharing in retail internationalization : IKEA's entry into Russia

Research on retail internationalization and internationalization in general acknowledges the relevance of knowledge management and organizational learning, even though there is a lack of discussion about the specific constructs and approaches that would be most fruitful. The central role of knowledge sharing in the internationalization process is rarely stressed. Furthermore, the specificities of

Frontline public relations practitioners. Trustbuilding through multicultural competence and dialogue

This chapter describes and analyzes the public relations strategies and practices of a public organization, a local rescue services, in the process of establishing credibility and building trust in multicultural areas. The trust-building efforts are a response to several years of social unrest, communicative clashes and hostile treatment between operative firemen and residents in certain areas. Th

Creativity in Time and Space

The focus of attention in this article is that of milieux as forges for creativity and renewal. Among the milieux presented are places, corporations and research institutions. The renewal discussed here includes art, architecture, music and literature as well as science and technology. The goal of this article is to identify characteristics of importance in environments where exceptionally creativ

On the spectral efficiency of a volume

The spectral efficiency of a volume in a MIMO environment is analyzed. The analysis is based on a spherical mode expansion for the propagation, the radiation Q for the antennas, and Fano theory for the broadband matching

Optimal time-frequency kernels for spectral estimation of locally stationary processes

This paper investigates the mean square error optimal time-frequency kernel for estimation of the Wigner-Ville spectrum of a certain class of nonstationary processes. The class of locally stationary processes have a simplified covariance structure which facilitates analysis. We give a formula for the optimal kernel in the ambiguity domain and conditions that are sufficient for the optimal time-fre

Carbon dioxide exchange of buds and developing shoots of boreal Norway spruce exposed to elevated or ambient CO2 concentration and temperature in whole-tree chambers

Effects of ambient and elevated temperature and atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration ([CO2]) on CO2 assimilation rate and the structural and phenological development of shoots during their first growing season were studied in 45-year-old Norway spruce trees (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) enclosed in whole-tree chambers. Continuous measurements of net assimilation rate (NAR) in individual buds and s
