The shift toward individualistic career management requires a supportive and developmental career approach. Using coaching practices as a manifestation of such an approach, this study reports on coaching and other career practices that are part of supportive and developmental career management in a Belgium sample (n = 154). Three other types of career management were identified as well. Supportive and developmental career management was most present in organizations that had a past or current prospector strategy, and was the least present in past or current defenders. The type of business strategy organizations indicated to pursue in the future did not have an influence on the type of career management they currently had. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

We formulate a model that captures the inter-dependence between hardware demand and software supply – indirect network effect – in the DVD industry. The identification of the network effect comes from the difference in software availability across two different formats: VHS and DVD. We find that a 1% increase in the number of DVD titles raises the demand for DVD players by 0.87%. Simultaneously, a 1% increase in video player ownership leads to a 0.14% increase in the variety of video titles. Our simulations show that hardware manufacturers might be able to internalize the network externality to increase total industry revenues. 相似文献

We analyze the evolvement of education inequality and the gender gap in Ghana before and after two major education reforms. Using different measures of inequality, our findings suggest that the gender gap at the basic school level has closed following the introduction of the education expansion policies, but inequalities persist at the postbasic school levels and across regions. We further demonstrate that the educational expansion–schooling inequality nexus is best illustrated by an inverted U-shaped Kuznets curve. We find that after an average of 6 years of schooling has been reached, inequality starts to decline, and gender equality can be achieved when the average years of schooling reach 9. 相似文献

Using firm-level panel data for Estonia, we analyse the impact of international competition on firm dynamics, considering
both firm closedown and product switches. We contribute to the literature in two important ways: first, this is the first
paper to study the determinants of exit and product switching in an emerging market; and second, we consider explicitly the
role of export opportunities. Our results indicate that globalization does not affect firm exit significantly but it is an
important factor explaining why firms choose a different core product. Previous studies on industrial countries have shown
that product switching has been a defensive strategy against low-cost imports. In contrast, our results suggest that Estonian
firms change their core products as an offensive strategy to take advantage of the export opportunities created by a globalized
economy. 相似文献

Using firm level panel data for the years 1996–2001, covering all sectors of the economy, the impact of multinational ownership
on the exit decisions of firms located in Belgium is estimated. In this analysis, I clearly distinguish for nationality of
ownership, allowing for differences between firms that are foreign-owned and multinationals rooted in the domestic economy.
Controlling for various firm- and industry-specific factors, it is found that while foreign multinationals are more likely
to shut down operations compared to national firms in both manufacturing and service sectors, domestic multinationals only
exhibit significantly higher exit rates in the manufacturing industries. The analysis has important policy implications, especially
in terms of the desirability of the large impact of multinational firms on employment and output generation in Belgium.

Abstract This paper aims to provide empirical researchers with an overview of the methodological issues that arise when estimating total factor productivity at the establishment level, as well as of the existing (parametric and semi‐parametric) techniques designed to overcome them. Apart from the well‐known simultaneity and selection bias, attention is given to methodological issues that have emerged more recently and that are related to the use of deflated values of inputs and outputs (as opposed to quantities) in estimating productivity at the firm level, as well as to the endogeneity of product choice. In discussing the estimation procedures applied in the literature, attention is given to recent developments in the field. Using data on single‐product firms active in the Belgian food and beverages sector, the most commonly applied estimators are illustrated, allowing for comparison of the obtained productivity estimates by way of a simple evaluation exercise. 相似文献

Many households include a family member with a disability. For these households, who consumes together, where they consume and when the consumption occurs often represent a complicated, nuanced set of tradeoffs. Based on in-depth interviews with families that include a child with a disability, we examine how a family makes an inclusion/exclusion decision and how the decision factors into the ongoing project of creating the family that is uniquely theirs. The analysis suggests that the decision-making is closely tied to the nature of the child's disability and that the type of disability is central to the family's narrative regarding its decision. Also, an important driver of the family's inclusion/exclusion decision is the process of self-stigmatization by non-disabled family members. The analysis shows that the implications of who in the family is included in the consumption, and the experience the family has as a result of the inclusion/exclusion decision reflect and reinforce the collective family's identity. 相似文献
