The balancing act of social enterprise: An IT emergence perspective     

《International Journal of Information Management》2021

The significance of IT in the context of non-digital social enterprises (SEs) and its influence on the viability of such SEs have been less studied themes in information systems research. In the era of ubiquitous IT, SEs have increasing pressures to cope with the ever-dynamic technological domain while balancing their dual objectives. Data from a single revelatory case of Jaipur Rugs (JR), an SE situated in a developing country context (India), is used to fathom the peculiarities of the SE context with a focus on the sociomaterial phenomena of IT emergence. Using the three fundamental notions of sociomateriality theory (relationality, performativity, and practice) this interpretive study understands the mechanisms underlying the SE’s attempt to balance its financial and social sustainability objectives. Through the innovative use of IT, the SE establishes and maintains shared value, yielding stability and efficiency to the business (financial viability) while simultaneously ensuring scalability and effectiveness of their social impact. This study strengthens the perspective of IT as an emergent phenomenon situated in sociomaterial practices and fills a gap in organizational literature by examining such phenomenon in the rich context of SEs where achieving the balance between dual goals is increasingly dependent on non-human (IT) agents.  相似文献   

基于频度演化的领域知识关联关系涌现     

滕广青 《中国图书馆学报》2018,44(3):79-95

领域知识的生长演化问题一直是图书情报学界重点关注的主题。以网络科学思维探索知识生长过程中的关联关系涌现问题,能够对知识关联的生长模式与机制进行揭示。本研究提取知识关联关系累计44万余对,关联频度87万余次,共划分为11个时间窗口。在对时间序列领域知识网络结构属性初步判识的基础上,对关联频度分布进行时间序列分析。并从领域知识生长过程中的关联频度数量、关联频度占比、邻近窗口状态等方面,对知识关联关系及其频度进行跟踪与分析。研究结果表明,知识关联关系生长过程中,关联关系频度的分布符合幂律分布,且在领域知识发展的成熟期表现得更好。知识关联关系的生长过程具有频度层面的“富者更富”的属性,且主要遵循“择优强化”机制。尽管研究所使用的基于社会化标注系统的知识网络尚不足以囊括所有类型的知识网络,但是基于频度演化的知识关联关系涌现模式与机制,有助于促进知识网络、知识生长等领域的研究工作,对于社交网络、传播网络、交通网络等研究不无裨益。图5。表4。参考文献30。  相似文献   

Timescales for exploratory tactical behaviour in football small-sided games     

Angel Ric  Robert Hristovski  Bruno Gonçalves  Lorena Torres  Jaime Sampaio  Carlota Torrents 《Journal of sports sciences》2016,34(18):1723-1730

The aim of this study was to identify the dynamics of tactical behaviour emerging on different timescales in football small-sided games and to quantify short- and long-term exploratory behaviour according to the number of opponents. Two teams of four professional male footballers played small-sided games against two different teams with a variable number of opponents (3, 5 and 7). Data were collected using a combination of systematic observation and a non-differential global positioning system (15 Hz). The temporal diversity and structural flexibility of the players were determined by calculating the dynamic overlap order parameter q, entropy and trapping strength. Analysis of the exploratory dynamics revealed two different timescales, forming a different metastable landscape of action for each constraint. Fast dynamics lasted on average a few seconds and consisted of changes in tactical patterns. The long timescale corresponded to the shared tasks of offence and defence lasting tens of seconds. The players’ tactical diversity decreased with an increasing number of opponents, especially in defence. Manipulating numerical imbalance is likely to promote changes in the diversity, unpredictability and flexibility of tactical solutions. The fact that the temporally nested structure of constraints shaped the emergence of tactical behaviour provides a new rationale for practice task design. The manipulation of numerical imbalance on the timescale of a few tens of seconds, on which the exploratory behaviour of players saturates, may help coaches to optimise the exploratory efficiency of the small-sided games.  相似文献

从打油诗到白话诗     

颜同林 《海南师范大学学报(社会科学版)》2011,24(4):38-41

参照胡适日后公开的留学日记、私人书信等材料,是重新回溯到新诗的发生这一历史现场的有效途径。胡适尝试白话诗的原始材料与他后来的文学史叙述这两者之间存在空隙与参差之处,置身其中不难发现从打油诗到白话诗这一命名转型的轨迹,白话新诗的发生与方言入诗的内在关联也由此得到呈现。  相似文献   

Intentional thought dynamics during exercise performed until volitional exhaustion     

Natàlia Balagué  Robert Hristovski  Sergi Garcia  Daniel Aragonés  Selen Razon  Gershon Tenenbaum 《Journal of sports sciences》2015,33(1):48-57

Using a non-linear approach, intentional dynamics of thoughts were examined during constant cycling performed until volitional exhaustion. Participants (n = 12) completed two sessions at 80% W_max. Their (1) intrinsic thought dynamics (i.e., no-imposed thoughts condition) and (2) intentional thought dynamics (i.e., imposed task-unrelated thoughts condition; TUT) were recorded and then classified into four categories: internal and external TUT (TUT-I, TUT-E) and external and internal task-related thoughts (TRT-E, TRT-I). The probability estimates for maintaining each thought category stable, the rate of switching from one category to another, and the entropy dynamics along the testing procedure were assessed and compared through time phase. Friedman ANOVA tests revealed a significant effect of effort increase on thought contents only in the imposed TUT test. While TUT-I probabilities decreased significantly (P < .001) as effort increased, TRT-I probabilities increased (P < .05). Moreover, the entropy to the entire thought dynamics increased at the outset of task performance and decreased upon approaching volitional exhaustion (P < .001). As time spent in constant effort increased, and volitional exhaustion approached, task relatedness (TUT, TRT), direction (internal, external), and entropy of thought contents changed unintentionally providing further evidence for a nonlinear dynamics of attention focus.  相似文献   

微博的产生、运用与人的解放     

杨翠芳 《湖北成人教育学院学报》2015,(2)

微博产生的初衷是用于公司内部的信息传达,但自产生后就成为人们日常生活中不可或缺的信息传播平台。它打破了人类交流的方式,拓展了人类生活的空间,充实了人们的交流内容,追踪、记录着人们的生活轨迹。目前微博运作的主要作用是：企业打造形象、推介产品的重要平台;个人形象塑造的重要途径;表达各种社会意见的重要渠道;改进社会管理的重要抓手。这种传播平台带着使用者个人的意志走向他人、走向社会,是进入互联网时代,尤其是进入自媒体时代,人类的又一次大解放。而这种全面解放的无限释放,最终导致社会组织结构与社会管理方式的某种程度的调整。  相似文献   

Light emitting diodes and the lighting revolution: The emergence of a solid-state lighting industry     

Susan Walsh Sanderson  Kenneth L. Simons 《Research Policy》2014

Emergence of new industries from evolving technologies is critical to the global economy, yet has been relatively understudied due to the paucity of available data. This study draws lessons on industry emergence, by analyzing how a solid-state lighting (SSL) industry grew out of light emitting diode (LED) technologies that evolved for half a century, with participation by tens of thousands of researchers in universities, national laboratories, and firms. Using data on publications, patents, and firms combined with business history we trace the evolution of SSL through a succession of market niches. At times a few researchers with unorthodox research approaches made breakthroughs that greatly advanced particular technology trajectories and pushed LED research in unexpected directions. A succession of LED market niches advanced the technology and provided profits to incentivize continuing research while reducing cost and improving efficacy of LEDs. Innovating firms developed a thicket of patents and captured substantial profit, but were embroiled in extensive litigation that was ultimately resolved through cross-licensing. A major new generation of lighting products is now disrupting the traditional lighting industry. Although the leading incumbent lighting firms all invested early and heavily in SSL, the industry's future leadership is uncertain.  相似文献
