Open Innovation in R&d Departments: An Analysis of Employees' Intention to Exchange Knowledge in Oi-Projects

The study also implies that intrinsic motivators have a stronger effect on employees' willingness to engage in knowledge exchange with external partners than extrinsic components. By targeting a set of relevant questions related to the human side of open innovation, the...

ISBN: 9780198744344 / Angielski / Miękka / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Representing Europeans makes a fresh assessment of the challenge facing the European Union today: it can no longer carry out integration by stealth. Measures adopted to save the eurozone impose visible political costs without clearly visible benefits. There is a lack of popular commitment to more European integration because EU institutions represent its citizens indirectly or not at all. Reliance on citizenship lite is politically dangerous, since people retain the power to reject their national government because of commitments it makes in Brussels. The book's pragmatic approach recommends...

ISBN: 9780190246730 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since 1980, China has evolved from a poor and mostly rural society into one of the largest economies in the world.

Ever since China entered the World Trade Organization at the turn of the century, Latin America supplied China with more and more of...
